Dr. Anne Truong (sexual health specialist) argues that erections are a natural, primal function controlled by the brain’s hypothalamus and that erectile dysfunction is not an inevitable result of aging but a consequence of modifiable chronic conditions that commonly appear after age 35 (e.g., declining testosterone, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, neuropathy, sleep deprivation, stress). She emphasizes lifestyle remedies (Mediterranean diet, exercise, sleep, weight control, reduce alcohol/smoking/stress, limit porn), gives clinical anecdotes (treated over 7,000 men; examples of older men maintaining sexual function), and promotes her Get Wood Now program and Modern Man Club as pathways to recovery.

Hello there, modern men. I'm Dr. Ann Trong. I'm a sexual health specialist, treated over 7,000 men. Do you know that you can have sexual longevity or your erection or the ability to have sex until the day you die? Yes. The more research that I do on sexual health, the more I realize that our brain is programmed to be a sexual organ. Because the area that control sexual activity, sexual behavior, is in the deepest part of your brain called the hypothalamus, which is between your ears here and deep behind your nose. And it's protected area. But it's also an area that is the oldest part of the brain is called the primal part of the brain, which is the same area of the brain that we share with the salamanders, we share with mammals, mammals that are non human, that has been in existence for hundreds of millions of years. And that is the primal center of the brain. So where I'm getting with this sexual function and sexual behavior is a natural behavior from human. Because the drive for human is to continue the human life, to have sexual activity and to have offspring and to carry the DNA. Because if you don't carry the DNA or be able to have intercourse, then the species will die down. So that's kind of like where I'm heading with this, is that the primal part, sexual center is in the deepest part of the brain. Where it's protected is in the primal part of the area. And that's where all the hormones and all the nerves are being secreted. Be in transfer. We when desire and excitement happens. Remember the larger sexual organ is the brain, not penis at all. So let me give you an example. Mick Jagger, I just saw an article, he's 82, he had an 8 year old son. Does that mean that he had to be when he was 74? I don't know whether he took ED medicine or not, but I hear of men in their late 70s, even in 80s be able to have children. Because men sperm do not decrease as they get older. You can still make sperm until the day you die and you can still be able to transfer your DNA. It's just the ability to maintain the erection. But the ability to maintain erection is affected by the condition that you get that men get when they pass the age of 35. So where I'm headed with this is that your erection is natural, your erection is primal. And you lose your erection because you don't take care of your erection. It doesn't happen because you get older. Aging does not equal sexual decline. Now many factors affect sexual function. However, they usually occur when you get older, especially after the age of 35, because after 35 your testosterone hormone dip. And then you start have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and you gain weight, you don't have time to exercise, but you spend time working, have other responsibilities. You have chronic stress from either finance or social or work. And then when you develop diabetes, you have neuropathy or less sensation in the nerve, then you have sleep deprivation. And the more you work, the less time you have to really take care of yourself and it will affect your work life balance. And then as you gain weight, you don't have time to exercise, you don't sleep well, you start to have orthopedic issue. Your knee hurt, your back hurt, your hip hurt, so you don't exercise as well. And then it perpetuates into this vicious cycle. Now all those conditions that I have talked about, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, neuropathy, high stress, sleep deprivation, work and orthopedic issues, all combine to affect sexual function. And therefore these are conditions that you acquire when you are older. And therefore that contribute to lower testosterone, decreased blood flow because of inflammation, and therefore ed. So ED is something that you get when you age. It's just that these chronic conditions happen when you get older. And it happened to be that when you get older you have these conditions. So people tend to think that, oh, okay, I'm older and inevitably I will have ed. I'm not necessarily. So what I'm trying to say is that you can have sexual activity the day you die if you take care of yourself. Like follow a good diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, have active physical activity, control your weight, have adequate sleep and just good habits such as kind of decrease your alcohol content, stop smoking, control your stress, and also porn as well. Now those are modifiable. All those chronic conditions I listed before are all modifiable by the diet, the exercise, the sleep, and the habit that I talk about. Yes, I know this is mind blowing. The more research that I look into this, the more that I do this, I realize that you know you are to blame. We are to blame, everyone to blame too if you have sexual dysfunction because the way our body is made, you are programmed to be able to have sexual activity until the day you die. And the reason why ED happens when you're over 35 and the older you get, the more common ED is present because of this chronic medical condition that I mentioned about. But you can modify that. I know it sounds too simple, doesn't it? And believe it or not. I have seen several of my patients that in the early 80s, mid-80s, eat well, exercise, don't really stress a lot, they sleep well and they're still doing erection. For instance, my handyman, he is early 80s right now and he has no problem with Seth and he's on his third wife still getting morning wood and he doesn't take Viagra or Cialis. I can't tell you how many patients that I have seen that demonstrate to me what I have just talked about as well is that you can have sexual longevity until the day you die. So I hope that makes sense. I hope that this stimulates you to do something about it that you do not have to live with. Ed, I hope you find this useful.
