In this episode of the Sexual Health for Men podcast, Dr. Anne Truong MD introduces a non‑pharmaceutical strategy for treating erectile dysfunction (ED) that centers on an FDA‑approved penis pump combined with lifestyle interventions. She explains the pump’s mechanism—creating negative suction to draw blood, oxygen, and nitric oxide into penile tissue—highlighting eight specific benefits: improved blood flow, oxygenation, muscle flexibility, scar‑tissue prevention, atrophy avoidance, nitric‑oxide activation, size increase, and conditioning the penis for erections. Dr. Truong then outlines a synergistic protocol: use the pump for 10 minutes twice daily, engage in 30 minutes of moderate exercise 3‑4 times per week, and follow a Mediterranean diet rich in lean protein, fruits, vegetables, olive oil, fish, and nitric‑oxide‑boosting foods (beet, arugula, kale). She cites a study showing this combination can outperform Viagra and notes its effectiveness even after prostate surgery or long‑standing ED. The host stresses that there is no “easy button”—consistent effort is required, akin to weight loss, and additional medical options (stem‑cell‑based therapies, blood‑flow boosters) still require the pump, diet, and exercise. Practical instructions are provided for proper pump use: positioning the cylinder against the pubic bone, using generous water‑based lubricant on the base and inside the tube, pulling the scrotum down, pumping slowly to a 90 % erection, maintaining for 10 minutes, then deflating and repeating. Frequency recommendations differ for men with and without ED. Dr. Truong also promotes her online store (ednomore.com) for pumps, compatible lubricants, and arugula‑derived nitric‑oxide supplements, and encourages listeners to download her free guide and watch her “Taking Your Penis to the Gym” series. Throughout, she frames ED as a blood‑flow problem driven by inflammation, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and cholesterol, emphasizing that lifestyle change, not a single supplement, is the key to lasting improvement.
Chapters
What if I told you there is an FDA-approved device that can actually be more effective than Viagra? When you combine a penis pump with a Mediterranean diet and regular exercise, you force blood flow, oxygen, and nitric oxide directly into the tissue. This stops shrinkage and prevents scar tissue. Just 10 minutes twice a day with a water-based Lube changes everything.
This podcast is for you, the modern man. I'm Dr. Anne Truong MD, your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and bestselling author of the book Erectile Dysfunction Fix. 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 at sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and resources from the show. See you on the inside.
If you have ED, no matter what the age you are, you need to be using the penis pump. Okay? This is the one I recommend, the manual. We also have an electric one that is in our store, ednomore.com. So we have an electric one. What it is, is that you press the cylinder against the base of your penis, press against the pubic bone. Of course, avoid the scrotum in there. And then when you press this lever, it creates a negative suction, almost like a vacuum, a negative suction. And what it does is that it suction blood into your penis. So it goes into the cylinder and you get an erection, the cylinder. And the blood fills up the penis and you get an erection in here. So it's helping you get an erection without a partner. But what it does is that it gives you a sense of exercising the penis the same way that you go to the gym and exercise, do bicep curl. Every time you do that, blood flow to the organ. But there are multiple benefits. To the penis pump. It help you get an erection. It will bring more oxygen to the penis to allow it to be healthy. That's number 2. The first one is to bring blood flow to the penis, help you get an erection with our partner. Number 2, bring oxygen. Number 3, it increase the flexibility of the penis muscle to prevent it from getting stiff. And scar down. Number 4 is prevention of scar tissue. Number 5 is because it help exercise your muscle, it help prevent atrophy or shrinkage. And then number 6, it increases nitric oxide in the penis by activating the endothelium, which is the blood vessel in the penis, and also activating the nerve in the penis as well. And it also, by the suction, they have an erection, will also help would increase in size. It will also help your body get used to having an erection, what it feels to have an erection. So there's 8 multiple benefits of that. That's just the penis pump alone, right? But if you add the penis pump together with exercise, there was a study that showed that 30 minutes of exercise 3 or 4 times a week, it's even better than Viagra. But if you add the penis pump and then 30 minutes of exercise 3 to 4 times a week, and then add the Mediterranean diet to that. Mediterranean diet focuses on lean protein and fruits and vegetables. And even a glass of red wine a day, you can, you're allowed to even have 2 pieces of bread a day too, as long as they're multigrain. Focuses on what the earth gives for you. And then you eat more nitric oxide. Foods such as beet, arugula, kale, those foods, which is part of the Mediterranean diet, along with olive oil, along with fish, will also help increase nitric oxide. So you have increased nitric oxide, Mediterranean diet, exercise, penis pump. And these are the 4 things that work synergistically together to help bring in more blood flow, and treat the cause of ED, because ED at the end of the day is poor blood flow. So if you treat ED by increasing blood flow, by increasing your nitric oxide, by decreasing your inflammation through diet and exercise, then you're going to be able to reverse the ED. Even those with having prostate removal, I've seen it work in men that had prostate surgery removed. I've seen it help in men that also had ED for decades. Now, you gotta put in the work. There's no such thing as an easy button for ED. There's no such thing as an easy button. You gotta put in the work. Now, in the office, we have treatment where we can boost stem cells and blood flow going in the penis, but you still gotta do the penis pump. You still gotta follow the Mediterranean diet. You still gotta exercise. If you're diabetic, you gotta lower your blood sugar as well. So you still got to do the work to get the result. It's kind of like losing weight. You can't just lose weight and not eat a healthy diet. So put in the work, but you will see results within about like 90 days or so. So having said that, check out the series. It's called Taking Your Penis to the Gym in my channel at Dr. Anne Truong MD about using the penis pump and those benefits I just mentioned. And you can also use the penis pump if you're a man, you don't have ED, because when you use the penis pump and not have ED, it actually will maintain the healthy penis and it will actually increase in size. So there's benefit with ED, benefit without ED. And if you use it the same day you have sexual activity, it will make you actually a little firmer, last a little bit longer as well too. So guys, the one thing that I want to make clear is that there's no easy button. There isn't an easy button. There's no shiny object supplement. You take that, your ED will be gone. All right. If it were that easy, we wouldn't have such a high prevalence of ED because ED is prevalent with 50% of men over 50 and 60% of men over 60. So it's not part of aging, but the medical condition that you get when you get older such as high blood pressure, diabetes, overweight, high cholesterol, those conditions predispose you to have ED, but not necessarily mean that when you get old, you have ED. So the point I'm trying to make is that it does take work from you all. It's almost like the survivor of the fittest. It takes work and it takes effort from you. And I would tell you, there's no one supplement that you're going to take. That will reverse that because it starts with healing yourself from the inside out. And so that's one thing I want to stress. Okay, Modern Man, if you're struggling with weak erection, low energy, the food you eat could be the big part of the problem. One of the best research-backed ways to boost circulation, support healthy testosterone, and improve sexual performance is the Mediterranean diet. Is packed with food that open up your blood vessel, lower inflammation, and fuel your hormone naturally. I've seen men notice real improvement in both energy and erection within weeks when they shift to this style of eating. So, check out the Mediterranean diet link right here below and get that as soon as you can. Stronger testosterone and better erection. What's the best lubricant for you to pump? Water-based lubricant. Okay. So where do you put the lubricant for the pump? Water-based lubricant. So you put the lubricant on the base right here and you put the lubricant on the inside of the tube before you start pumping all the way inside the tube. And then if you can shave around the base of the penis here. And then you also want to put lubricant on the base of the penis and also on the penis itself. You do that, the suction will be a lot easier. So the base of the penis and on the penis itself. So when you start the suction, you want to press the base here against the pubic bone. This is the pubic bone right here. Want to press it against the pubic bone, create a tight seal. You will have lubricant here. Make sure you pull down the scrotum like this. When you start pumping, it's best to do it sitting up on a chair or the side of the bed with your feet on the ground or standing against the wall and pump whichever way that is more comfortable for you. So that way you're able to reposition your scrotum down, press against the pubic bone, which is right here, create a tight seal. And then once you do that, you want to use this hand and start the pressure. All right. And go slow for the first minute. Go slow, slow, slow. And then your goal is to get to about a 90% erection and then leave the erection in there for 10 minutes. And after 10 minutes, you deflate by pressing this button right here. Get rid of the pressure by pressing this button. And then it'll release the pressure and then you take it out. And you want to do this twice a day. And when I said 10 minutes, 10 minutes with a full erection in the tube, leave it in there for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, you deflate, you rest for 10 minutes, and then you do another cycle of pumping. When you have about 90% erection, you leave it in there for 10 minutes. And then when that's done, you're done. So that's how you do it. Twice a day. It can be consecutive. It doesn't have to be separate times. But I'm telling you, the penis pump is the man's best friend, even if you have ED, especially when you have ED, but even if you don't have ED. So that is a water-based lubricant, and you can get it at our store at ednomore.com because the lubricant that we have is compatible with that pump. You want to use a lot of lubricant. The more, the better. Because that way it will go in easier. It takes a few practice, guys. So the first run may not be perfect. The third run may be better than the second one, but it takes practice. The first try isn't it, so don't give up after the first try. This is not a gimmick, guys. This is an FDA-approved device, penis pump, to use for ED as well as for post-prostate cancer rehab. So it's not a gimmick. It does work. If we see it working and your goal is to do the penis pump like 10 minutes twice a day. If you have ED, you want to do it every day for 6 weeks and then you can do 3 times a week. You don't have ED, you can just do it for maintenance for about 3 times a week. And so that is what I recommend. So check out our store at ED No More to get the pump. When you get the pump in our store, we also put in a lubricant for you as well too.. So we throw in the lubricant that we normally use. So all that for Pump It. Any of you Pump It? Any of you that are watching, are you pumping at all? Put down the word pump in the comments. And also the nitric oxide that I recommend is also in our store at ednomore.com. The reason why I recommend that because it's made from arugula, which has the highest nitric oxide content from food. So that's why I like that. And that's what we carry in our store.
