A podcast episode hosted by Dr. Anne Truong (Sexual Health for Men) that argues poor penile blood flow is a major, often-overlooked cause of erectile dysfunction and is frequently reversible with lifestyle changes. The episode explains erection physiology, lists five circulation-related "blood flow killers" (high blood pressure, diabetes/pre-diabetes, smoking/alcohol, lack of exercise/weight gain, poor diet), and recommends exercise (including pelvic floor/Kegels), Mediterranean-style diet, nitric-oxide boosting foods/supplements, sleep/stress reduction, and basic blood tests. The host also promotes a "Good Morning Wood Smoothie" recipe and paid programs/products (ednomore.com, getwoodnow.com).
