In this concise video, Dr. Anne Truong MD explains that low testosterone and erectile dysfunction (ED) are often linked to undiagnosed metabolic issues such as diabetes. She urges viewers to obtain blood work—including fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c—to identify hidden hyperglycemia. Dr. Truong then outlines four key lifestyle habits that can exacerbate ED and low testosterone: (1) smoking, (2) pornography consumption, (3) nicotine vaping, and (4) poor sleep timing. She recommends a consistent 7‑hour sleep window from 10 PM to 6 AM. Finally, she highlights the importance of weight management, noting that a BMI over 30 warrants weight loss through a Mediterranean‑style diet. The overall message is a practical, preventive approach combining diagnostic testing with concrete behavioral changes.

You have low testosterone. You will get answers from doing the blood work. I can't tell you how many times I see patients in the office for ED and I diagnose them with having diabetes at the same time. Because you don't do blood work, you may not know what your fasting blood sugar is or your hemoglobin A1c is. Okay, so number one, to get your blood work done, find out how things are. Number two, if you're smoking, stop. You're watching porn, stop. You're vaping with nicotine, stop that as well. And evaluate your sleep schedule. You're sleeping 7 hours at nighttime between 10 PM to 6 AM. And then also look at your weight. What is your weight? If your weight is over a BMI of 30, then you probably need to look at losing some of that weight by getting on the Mediterranean diet.
