I'll do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get started and be sure to visit my website@sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Hello there modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong. I've treated over 7,000 men with erectile dysfunction. What if the real solution to ED didn't come in a pill, but from a five minute move you could do right now at your home? Doctors call it a game changer, yet no one's doing it. In this episode I'll show you the science. Back exercises proven to fix blood flow and erection. Naturally, you can significantly improve ED at home through targeted exercise that increase pelvic strength, increase blood flow and also increase the blood vessels function. So studies have shown that these exercises can improve and and even reverse mild to moderate ED within weeks if done consistently. Now if you do this together with Mediterranean diet and then sleep, then it's like fire.
So let's talk about the number one.
Exercise you can do at home that you do not need to be in a gym for. Number one, my favorite, pelvic floor exercise or Kegel exercise. These are the most proven exercises for ed, but yet no one is doing this. All the men that I talk to in my clinic, none of them even know about this exercise or even know these muscles exist in their body. Yet it is critical to be part of your erection because these two muscles, they're called the bulvocavenosis, which is right here. So this is the testicle, I'm lifting it up. This is your anus here. And this is the penis here. And the bulbocabinosus muscles are these muscles right here. And also the ischiocarbonosis are these muscles here. What they function is that they wrap around the base of the penis and they help with keeping the blood in the penis for a firm erection and also help with making the penis firm.
And hard and stay hard so that way it can be functional. But no one that I talk to don't even know how to do it even it exists. So it is critical that you guys need to exercise this muscle. Or how do you know you exercising the muscle correctly? Well, first of all, it's the same muscle that start and stop your urine flow. So what you do is you put your hand down here. You can feel it when you contract it. So if you try stopping your urine flow. So imagine you're urinating, you're trying to stop your urine flow. You can feel like a little contraction underneath your hand. Those are the pelvic muscles. But when you do this, you make sure that, that you don't want to tighten your abdominal muscle up here and you don't want to tighten your thighs. All right? You want to breathe, you want to relax, you want just to contract those two muscles that I show you about the bulbal cavernosus and the ischiocavenosis muscle. Okay. If you contract those muscles and you know when you're contracting it correctly, you can see the base of the penis kind of will draw in just a little bit. Kind of comes in into your pubic bone. If you contract it and try to hold it for five seconds, just five seconds, and then slowly release it. In the beginning, you may not be able to hold it for five seconds. You may just hold it for one second and you have to release it. But it takes practice. So try to go for five seconds and slowly release it. You want to do it for 20 repetition per set and do about two to three sets a day. When you're doing it, you, you should breathe normally, you should relax your legs, you should relax your abdominal muscles. Okay, Try not to tense up, but they're very critical muscle and you can feel it. Just a slight contraction in your hand. You can do it. It takes practice. And most men with ed, these muscles actually are tight, so oftentimes you have to kind of massage it to relax it also. That's where testicle massage come into play. If you massage your testicles, both hands for like two minutes or actually relaxes that area. And when you're massaging your testicles, you're also increasing the flow in the testicles because the testicles where your testosterone is being made, so you're releasing more testosterone in the bloodstream and you're also relaxing yourself. So, so it's the second exercise that you can do. So massaging your testicle for two minutes, so that's the second exercise that you should be doing.
Men struggling to stay hard, most of the time it comes down to poor blood flow. That's why I put together the Good Morning Wood Smoothie, a nutrient packed blend designed to restore blood flow naturally. My patient often notice improvement in just a few weeks when they take this part of their daily routine.

Morningwoodsmoothie.Com Number three, you don't have to join a gym. Studies have shown that Cardiovascular exercise improve ED by 46% and also promote more nitric oxide production. So activities such as brisk walking, walking where you can have trouble breathing and cycling, jogging, swimming, rowing, or even just walking up a hill, going hiking, enjoying the weather, you do this about 30 minutes four times a week. It is as good as anything else. You don't even need to join a gym. Now the next one. Number four. I know, but just got to say it. Yoga. You, yoga and stretching. I know my husband doesn't like stretching either, but yoga enhances your flexibility, make you more flexible, it increases blood flow.
And it decreases stress.
Three major factors that you need to have on board for sexual function. Now, certain poses target hip muscle. So you want to target the buttock muscle, the hip muscle, the quadricep muscles, which are the leg muscle, your abdominal muscles. Because when you do that, it will improve circulation to the pelvic muscle down here. So top yoga poses for ED is a cobra pose, doing the bridge pose, the child pose and the plow pose. So those are easy things that you can just do 15 minutes a day focusing on your breathing. While you're doing this, you're doing your box breathing. Breathe into your nose for a count of four, hold it in for a count of four, breathe out to your mouth. Account of four, just the box breathing.
When you're doing yoga exercises and I threw in an extra exercise which is the breathing exercise for you and the last one is really okay, you have access to the gym. Go into the gym and start doing some weight. Because when you're doing resistant weight training, it does increase testosterone and also help with erection. So how many should you do? You should focus on your legs, the gluteal muscle, like doing three sets of 15 reps of squats and doing Romanian deadlift, or three sets of 10 rep and doing push ups or pull up as well. So doing this at the same time that you're going to do for walking about three to four times a week will be helpful. So all of these exercises will go a long way in increasing blood flow, increasing nitric oxide, help you with stress management and can improve your erection, erection, firmness and sexual endurance within four to six weeks without medication. Now imagine if you add this in with the Mediterranean diet and imagine if you add this with sleeping appropriately. If you're doing all the right stuff and you add it in, it's going to be more powerful than just doing one thing at a time. So studies have shown diet and exercise are the most important factors in reversing ed. So when you do an exercise, add the diet, the Mediterranean Diet.
