Let's get to our and then Disco Fever says great job. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. I appreciate. I hope you guys are all. All subscribers to our channel. Okay, if you're here, I hope you at the least do a subscription. And, and by the way, you know, I, I know, I know that ED, it's not easy. It's a private matter, and sometimes it, uh, uh, you want some— it, uh, ED, it affects your whole life, right? And, uh, and it's private, right? And so, but I just want to let you know there is a space. that I created, uh, for men suffering with ED. You do not have to suffer in silence. You do not, uh, it is not shameful. Uh, it's a space that we create called the Modern Man Club where, um, I, I, uh, coach, uh, you and, uh, many other men suffering with ED on a home program on what you can do to get out of it, to get out of ED in as little as 90 days if you follow it to the T. Yes, you could reverse your ED at home, but you need guidance to get there. All right. Because trying to figure it out yourself is hard because erectile dysfunction involves the brain, the nerve, the hormone, the blood vessel, the heart, and the penis muscles. So they need to be all coordinated. And, and ED is very similar to having— similar to having heart attacks. and strokes. The pathology is the same. The risk factor is the same. So, uh, um, you know, you, you wouldn't want to figure it out yourself if you have chest pain, right? Well, the same thing with ED. Did you know that when you have ED, it is a predictor of, uh, heart, uh, uh, heart attacks, uh, 3 to 5 years down the road? Yes. Like, uh, 65% of men will end up having heart issues. It may not be heart attack, but maybe chest pain that may be close to having heart attack, and even as far as even death. So when you have ED, it's a warning sign that there is pending heart problem down the road in as early as 3 years. Research has shown that. Okay, so you don't want to— you don't want to take it for granted. And you don't want to try to figure it out yourself. You wouldn't do that if you have chest pain. You go to ER, right? But I know that ED is a private matter and it's somewhat embarrassing. So you're not going to go to ED for that, right? I mean, you're not going to go to ER for that, right? You're going to kind of try to figure it out yourself. But the first thing I want you to do is follow what we say in our channel and that there is a space called the Modern Man Club, where we can work together. And we have— you have access to me, you have access to coaches like our dietitian who will help you eat better, our exercise coach who will help you exercise better, and then our mindset coach who will help your mind be in the right place as well. Because in order for you to get your sex life back, your, your mind had to be in the right place as well. Your body had to be in the right place, believe it or not. Okay, the more I dive into this, the, the more I realize that ED is really a, um, a sign that your body is falling apart and you need to do something about it. All right, uh, or else, you know, your body's gonna deteriorate. Okay. And so, uh, check out the Modern Man Club at noedman.com. It is a space where you feel supported, but you're also gonna get a roadmap to get out of ED as early as that 90 days. And it's gonna save you a lot of money, all right? Because last thing I want you to do is to buy some gadget and buy some supplement that doesn't work, all right? And to follow some, chase some shiny object or— No. and try out some root that is made in Africa or some mud that will help. ED is a complex system issue and you can't— you're not going to correct it with one supplement. I will tell you that. I mean, I have supplements I recommend too, but you're not going to correct it with just one supplement or 2 supplements. It takes a whole system. Take the whole system. Yes, you need to take supplements. We need to use the penis pump. You need to follow the Mediterranean diet. You need to exercise. You need to have a calm mind. And you need to have blood work. All that needs to be combined. And that's the system that we're giving you. That's the Get Hard System, right? Yeah. The at-home Get Hard System that we're giving you. So that way you can start implementing step by step by step. All right? Because after treating over 7,000 men, I know it's not easy. And don't try to figure it out yourself. We're there to help you. All right? And it's hard. It is very hard. The last thing I want you to do is to chase shiny objects and to think, oh, I'm going to take this supplement. It's going to correct my ED. No. Even if you take Viagra or Cialis, it doesn't cure your ED. It's just a Band-Aid. But it only works on 70% of you guys, right? The 30%, it doesn't work. All right. So it's a Band-Aid. And even though you take the ED medicine to help you with the erection, in the long term, you're still going to have problems. Even if you take Viagra or Cialis, it doesn't correct the risk factor that you're going to get— you're going to have issues in 3 years for a heart problem. Okay, so check out the— check it out at noedman.com, or you can scan the QR code if you're watching this from a TV or tapping, use your phone, scan the QR code, or you can go to the URL, type in noedman.com. All right, very good. So I'm very passionate about because I feel that And men can really be, you know, persuaded to try the wrong thing, and that's gonna make you more frustrated, waste your money and your time. All right, very good. Let's start getting some questions here. So put your question down and we will do it. Again, I'll be live next Monday. At 12 PM Eastern Standard Time. Okay, so here's a question from Disco Fever 1970. Very interesting name here, guys. I love it. I love it. Thank you for being here. I appreciate that. All right, so Disco Fever. I like disco too myself. Number one, can I use the penis pump if I have a stabilized hernia? Yes, you can use the penis. That's a very good question. Yes, you can use the penis pump for that. Just make sure, just make sure that yeah, when you use the penis pump, that you press. The opening against your pubic bone, and you get your pubic bone and keep, keep the excess skin away, and also pull down your scrotum. The best position is either sitting on a chair, the edge of a chair, or sitting on the edge of your bed, or standing up back against the wall. Okay, so you want to have, you want to have gravity kind of pull down. On the scrotum, you want to put, uh, again, this against the, the pubic bone, uh, which is the, the bone, the bone that's right behind, uh, your hair. Um, and, uh, you want to have a good suction. Sometimes, um, putting, uh, shaving, uh, at the base of your penis, uh, help. And also you want to lubricate, um, The whole, uh, the base of the penis and the whole penis, you want to lubricate it with really good gel. And then you also want to lubricate the, uh, the opening of here as well as inside, uh, the tube. And on the penis pump, we recommend that it has like inches here. This is the 9-inch, uh, 9-inch and 2.5, uh, diameter, 2.5-inch diameter. So you want to lubricate it as far in as you can. So what I find is that if you put like, you put the lubricant on here and just put a spoon and just spread it out. Okay. Or you put your hand and spread it out. Okay. So the lube in here, lube on the penis and shave if you can. All right. And now when you shave, you want to shave along the hair. So shave down. Shave down. You shave up, you're going to start having ingrown hair. Uh, you can wax, uh, too. All right. Uh, so that— and the answer is yes, you can, uh, do penis pump with a stabilized, uh, hernia. And also, team, um, make sure we, um, um, save all the questions on the Google Doc, uh, for me too, even the one that I answered. Okay. Um, and so, uh, uh, number 2, what are maximum amount of vitamin D D3 and zinc can I take safely? Okay. So first of all, you can get blood work that will show you whether you're low in vitamin D or not. So 99% of us are low in vitamin D. Vitamin D comes from vegetables. I'm low in vitamin D. And so I don't eat enough vegetables. You need to eat 5 servings of vegetables a day. I don't eat enough vegetables as well. So if you're going to take a supplement, make sure you get blood work done. Blood work done is called D25, which is cholecalciferol, or D3, which is the blood work called D25. Check to see if I have a video that I talk about vitamin D. I'm pretty sure I do. Can you put that link on? Put that link under YouTube comment and also on Facebook and Twitter as well. X. So get your blood work measure. And is it— you should be around 50. The range is between 30 to 60. You should be around 45, 50. And if you're below 40, I recommend that you take vitamin, uh, D3. D, D like a dog, and number 3. All right, vitamin D3, um, at least about 2,000 unit, uh, international unit, 2,000 IU, uh, a day. All right, so if you take that and in about 6 weeks get your blood work measured and you can see it go up or not at all. Because when you take it orally, your stomach has to absorb it, right? And your stomach, and then your body have to absorb it as well. So it depends on the lining of your stomach. Now, some of my patients need injections of vitamin D3 once a week, and we give 50,000 units of vitamin D3 injection once a week for that. And if you're near an office that give you injection, You can take vitamin D3 as sublingual, right? Where you put it underneath your tongue and let it melt so that way it bypasses the stomach, right? So that's one. You could get it as injection. Injection also bypass the stomach. But if you're going to take orally through the mouth, you take about 2,000 units first, get your blood work measured, and see where is it. You don't need a doctor's order to get your blood work measured. You can just walk to the lab yourself as well. You don't need blood work order. All right? You can go to LabCorp, you go to Quest, you go to Anytime Lab, get your blood work done. And you can even self-pay for that. In fact, self-pay for it is probably even cheaper than going through insurance. All right? So I do have a video that talk about vitamin D3 and ED. Interesting. All 99% of men that had ED have low vitamin D3. Okay, 99%, almost everyone. But the good part is you can supplement it and you can get D3 from oysters. You can get D3 from vegetables as well. And you need the sun. You need the sun to get your vitamin D3. Okay. So that's why we're deficient. We're not out in the sun. You need to be out in the sun for at least 20 minutes every— to get the— to turn into D3. But you don't have to stay in the sun. You can drive with the moon— with the roof. If you have a roof, you can drive with the moonroof open. You get the sun rays. You can drive, or you can put your arm out like this, as long as your arm is exposed to the sun. Or you're in your house, you can put your arm out through the window. You don't have to bring your whole entire body out. Okay? But you need the sun for at least 20 minutes for your body to convert to D3. Now, there's also a prescription-strength pill that is called cholecalciferol. That is calcitriol, which is D2, that you can take. It's a prescription. You take it once a week. And when you take D2, your body has to convert it to D3. And that's another step. So I'm not a big fan of that. But if you need to, you can take the— it's called calcitriol. Yeah, it's D2. But I would suggest to buy over-the-counter vitamin D3. We have vitamin D3. Um, in our store at ednomore.com. So check it out at, uh, can you put the link? Yeah, ednomore.com is our store. Um, uh, we do have vitamin, uh, D3 for you all as well, and that's in, uh, 2,000 units. All right, but get your blood work to know where you're at, because you don't know where you're at if you take the supplement. You don't know where it's going to be effective or not, because when you take the supplement orally Your stomach has to dissolve it. And sometimes you have too much acid in your stomach. Sometimes you have too low acid in your stomach and you may not dissolve everything. And your intestine has to absorb it also, right? Yeah. And has to absorb it as well. So you're depending upon your stomach, your intestine to try to absorb that. So sometimes it may not be 100% effective. Okay. So my best suggestion is to get measured. All right. So that is the answer to your question, vitamin D3 and zinc. You can take about 200 milligrams. Honestly, if you take a multivitamin, it has enough. It has enough zinc in there for you to take daily. You don't need to take it separately. All right? So you take a good multivitamin, it has zinc in there, that's all you need. Again, we have multivitamin in our store at ednomore.com. It has everything you need in there. You don't need to take a separate zinc. So what are the essential? Let's go over this. What are the essential vitamins that you need to take, guys? All right? Because I hear this all the time. I get asked questions, do I need to take this XYZ vitamins? So The essential vitamin that for a man, especially you guys with ED, is take a good multivitamin. All right, check out our store for that. Vitamin D3, which we have. You take, uh, you take nitric oxide that is from arugula, and then, uh, Libido Plus, which are the component that will help raise up your testosterone. All right, those are the 4 that you need. That is all you need on a daily basis. You don't need anything else. You don't need to take additional zinc. You don't need to take anything else. Those are the 4 things that you need. Now, sometimes you may need a little magnesium to sleep better and so forth, but you don't need magnesium unless you have difficulty with sleep or muscle cramps. But you just need those 4 to start out with. Okay? Really, those 4 to start out with at this point. And you don't need anything else. Again, we have it at— Uh, ED No More, uh, store and check it out. Now that I talk about, we should bundle that together. Um, I'm gonna make a note here, uh, in, uh, uh, bundling that, uh, bundle together the 4 of them, the 4 essential vitamins, um, for men with ED. Okay, wouldn't that be nice? All right, so thank you for giving me that idea. We'll bundle that together. Check it out. Go to ED No More. We're going to bundle that together and put that together for you all. And if you do, if you're here, those of you that are here right now, I'm going to give you a coupon code. So if you use a— if you go to the store and if you go to store and if you put in the code AWESOME10, AWESOME10, you actually will get 10% off. All right? Just for you just being here. For being awesome and participating, use that coupon code to give you 10% off of everything in the store. Okay, everything in the store, just use awesome 10. All right, that is my gift to you guys for today. Okay, you don't need anything else. Trust me, it's all you need. The four essential vitamins that you need for man with ED. All right, I'm gonna make actually a video about that because I see I hear questions. About this and that and that all the time. You really don't need anything else. You just give your body what it needs to heal. And I'm gonna reiterate it again, no one supplement is gonna fix your ED. It will not. All right, it takes a whole multiple system, right? Because ED involves multiple systems. And ED is the breakdown of blood flow and It's the breakdown of blood vessels, it's the breakdown of hormones, the breakdown of nerve, it's the breakdown of what you're doing in your lifestyle that is, uh, that is affecting it. So in order to fix it, it takes a whole system, multi-step ways for you to fix it. But you can fix it. That's where we dive deep in the Modern Man Club, uh, to get— to give you the roadmap to get there. All right. I assure you, if you follow it step by step, in 90 days you will see results. We have a member, you can go to noedman.com to check it out. We have a member, he is 57. He had a stroke. He's paralyzed on one side. He has a horrible diet. He's diabetic. He has high blood pressure. He has high cholesterol and his blood sugar, hemoglobin A1c, is 11.8. Now, hemoglobin A1c, you're diabetic, it shouldn't be more than 7. Anytime you're in the range between 6.2 or above, you're a diabetic. You're pre-diabetic when you have 5.7, 5.8 to 6.2, but you are diagnosed a diabetic if you're anywhere above 6.2 hemoglobin A1C. He is at 11, and he's been a longtime diabetic. He already had a stroke. So I already know that he has endothelial dysfunction. He had blood vessel problem, pretty severe. So he'd been in our Modern Man Club. He'd been following the roadmap that we give him for 90 days. He started the Mediterranean diet. He attends every session with our nutrition coach. He attended the exercise session and the mindset session. He's had ED for at least 10 years, has not had any intimacy in at least 5 years. And this is a guy that has hemoglobin A1C of 11. Cholesterol 250 on statin, and he had a stroke. He joined the program. He was committed to changing his life because he's still fairly a young man, late 50s, right? And he's single. He wants to date again. Well, guess what? He's been following the program and his hemoglobin A1C went from 11.8 now to— 6. 7. 7, which is remarkable for him. He's never been at 7 because he changed his diet. Changed his diet and he started kind of walking again for 30 minutes, uh, every day. He changed his diet, his hemoglobin A1c came down, and he has more energy. He looked younger, he's happier. He, uh, also lost about 10 pounds, but he's also waking up now with morning wood. Yes, he's waking up with morning wood now that he never had before, right? Of course, he's also doing the penis pump, and he takes all the 4 supplements that I, uh, uh, just talked about. And he does his homework with the, uh, the penis pump, uh, and the Kegel machine. So you have the equipment to take your penis to the gym. And now I'm giving you the roadmap also in the Modern Man Club to get there. Now, this is a man that already had a stroke, right? That means that he has severe blood vessel, blood flow problem, right? Because when you have the stroke up here, that means you already have heart problem, you— and you definitely have ED, right? So it's because it's all blood vessel problem. But he's now, you know, reversed his, his, his blood sugar, uh, status from 11 now to 7. And those of you that are diabetic, you know what I mean when I say hemoglobin A1c. Because if you have diabetes, you go see the doctor, the doctor is going to get on your case about hemoglobin A1c, right? Because hemoglobin A1c represents your blood sugar within the last 90 days. Okay? So that's why it's an important blood test to measure. And it tells the doctor what your blood sugar has been. Versus just a fasting glucose. That's just one-day measure in time when you're fasting. So the point I'm trying to make here is that one of the members, let's just call him Robert, one of the members came in with severe ED and a stroke, and now he's able to slowly reverse that by bringing down his blood sugar. By following the program. And now he's starting to have morning wood. When he starts to have morning wood, that tells me that the plumbing, the plumbing, the connection is awakening and that it's going to start working. Right. It's starting to work. Right. Plumbing is working. That means that the engine is going to— it's still there. It's still working. It's not dead. Right. It's not dead. The engine is there. We just need to polish it. You need to take out the parts and clean it up, but the engine is still there. When you have morning wood, it tells me that the plumbing is still there. It just needs to be polished. All right? So if Robert can get morning wood again after having a stroke, after having ED for 10 years, after having a hemoglobin A1C of 11.8, Well, if he can do it, you can do it as well. And all he did was he made a choice that he isn't going to live with ED. He joined the Modern Man Club and he attends every meeting. He does everything that we recommend. And guess where he's at? And you know what? He's happier now. I saw him last week. He looked like he aged 10 years backward. It's amazing. what, uh, what just changing your diet will do for you. And this is a real story, guys. This is real. Robert is real. Well, I changed his name, but he is real, and he is a member of our Modern Man Club at noedman.com. All right, very good. Um, all right, let me get some water. Let me get some water here, and I'm going to take the next, uh, question. All right, remember, the only vitamin that you need is one of the 4 I mentioned with the multivitamin: vitamin D3, Libido Plus, and nitric oxide. And you can get that at ednomore.com at our, uh, store. Um, okay. And our Modern Man Crib. All right, um, And then there's a video I talk about vitamin D3 and ED, and you can see that in the comment as well. Um, all right, so Disco Fever, I'm going to get back to you. Um, I'm gonna get back to you, but I want to answer this from, uh, El Gonzalez. Uh, what do you think about tadalafil, uh, uh, 2.5 milligrams for, uh, cardio, uh, health? Um, okay, so there has been a lot of press about, um, tadalafil, which is generic for Cialis, right? Because, um, what tadalafil does And it works the same way as sildenafil, which is generic for Viagra. Is that— so tadalafil is Cialis and generic for Cialis. And what it does is that it increases nitric oxide. And when it increases nitric oxide, it helps relax the blood vessels. And therefore, that's how it increases blood flow. Okay. And so what they found out, one, only one research paper showed that tadalafil was helpful for Alzheimer's, for dementia. And it's also helpful for BPH or enlarged prostate, benign enlarged prostate as well, at low dose, daily low dose, but not so much for heart health. Gonzalez. All right, so not so much for heart health. Uh, if you have, if you have ED and enlarged prostate, yes, it's helpful for that. I, I like tadalafil, low dose for, uh, ED, um, as well, you know, like either 2.5 or 5 milligrams for, uh, ED because it, it does increase the blood flow. But that, don't do it alone. Do it with, uh, um, diet change and do it with the, uh, doing the, uh, Mediterranean diet. And 30 minutes of exercise. All right, studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet and just 30 minutes of walking a day is far more superior than taking Viagra or Cialis. So to answer your question, right, if you're worried about just heart health, your best bet is to follow the Mediterranean diet and exercise. Get adequate sleep at nighttime and decrease your stress. That is far more better than popping in a medication for your heart. All right, far more better. You're gonna live longer. You're gonna you're gonna be able to get erection your whole life. Right? So if I don't want you to resort to taking tadalafil, just you think that it can protect your heart. It doesn't. Remember, tadalafil has only been around since. the 2000s, people have been living longer, living to 100 without medication. In Japan, we have the largest population of centenarians who live up to above 100, and they don't take tadalafil 2.5 milligrams. The reason why they live longer is because they eat seafood. They eat more vegetables, they're active, and they have community and family support, right? And so I watched a documentary on why certain areas have more centenarians than others, and it comes down to 4 things: what they eat, you know, that they eat more fruits and vegetables, lean meat, And they keep active, and they have a supportive community and family, so they're not isolated. And then number 4 is that they take things in stride, less stress. They don't stress about things too much. They just take things in stride. Those are the 4 things for longevity. So if you're worried about your heart, focus on those 4 things rather than— Focusing on tadalafil. Now, tadalafil, if you have enlarged prostate with ED, then yes, you can take it daily. So I hope I answered your question, but in a long roundabout way, because tadalafil has only been around for, what, 20 years? But people have lived for above 100 without tadalafil. So you don't need tadalafil for heart health or to live longer. So it really comes down to the basics, guys. If you take tadalafil 2.5 milligrams and you eat a hamburger, you eat a burrito, you eat pizza every day, and your blood sugar is high, you have high cholesterol, you have high blood pressure, it isn't going to help you with your heart health. It isn't. Okay? So you can't take a medication thinking that's going to do the job for you. It really has to come down to what you eat. And the Mediterranean diet, just focusing on more fruits and vegetables and lean meat, such as fish, fish and pork, and less of the red meat. That's all. And you can have 2 pieces of bread. You can even have red wine every day. as well. Okay, so it's not as restrictive, and I like it because you can live with that. Instead of, you know, pastries or baked goods, you just eat fruits. You can eat any fruit you want— grapes or— I mean, I love grapes, apples, pears— to get your filling of that. And it's not a bad thing if you want to eat chocolate. as well, right? I love dark chocolate. So those are the things that you can do that work much better than taking medicine. So you can get a copy of the Mediterranean diet at noed— I'm sorry, at eatfornoed.com to get your Mediterranean diet right here. And in fact, I'm going to see all of you guys that have opted into this. I want to give you access to my app called Well World that will actually, you know, tell you what to eat every day for the next 90 days, for the next 90 days. So that way it's on your phone to remind you what to eat. Also give you recipes. It will also give you the list that you can go to the grocery store and buy food on a weekly basis. In fact, You can even order it to get it ordered to your house, right? Now grocery store can order to be delivered at your house now, so you don't even have to go to the grocery store. And in fact, that's what I do a lot. That's what I do a lot as well too. And in fact, there are businesses now that you can order pre-made Mediterranean food for you that will be shipped to your house on a weekly basis that is fresh and natural. And what's the one that I use? What's the one that I use all the time? The one that I use— oh my goodness, I am blanking out. I am blanking out for that. Anyway, I will think of it. I would think of it. I will put that in the episode as well because I also have food delivered too because sometimes I don't have time and I actually very good for lunch and very good when I don't have time to cook. Oh, CookUnity. It's called CookUnity. And I have—I'm gonna give you a link that you can use. I'm gonna give you a link that you can use that will get you started. All right. Okay, I'm gonna—I'm gonna get a link right now so you can actually order the Mediterranean diet. You can order the Mediterranean diet to be sent to your house. It's fairly very reasonable. Here is the link, and can you save this link in the future? Maybe we can put that as a QR code as well. So that is the link for Cook Unity. Okay. Can you also put that on Facebook as well too? Okay. All right. So my internet is unstable. I know. I know. I'm working on that. Can you— that's a long URL. That's a long URL. So maybe you can make this into a QR code so people can Scan it. And you can also— people can scan it. Okay. But it's in the comments section, so we can put it in Facebook and Twitter as well. All right. Very good. Very good. So Mediterranean diet, it's good for your erection, it's good for your heart, and it also lowers your blood sugar. So it is recommended by the American Heart Association, as well as the American Diabetes Association, as well. Okay? Okay. Okay. Let's take the next question. But it'd be good. I'm gonna make it here for CookUnity link. We're gonna get like a pretty URL with this so I can do the referral. Okay, let's take the next question. Okay, the next question again from Disco Fever, because I like this because I just did— I'm about to do a video on this— is that What helped me remain healthy besides this channel? Thank you, Disco Fever. Is maintaining my weight within BMI standard, brisk cardio, walking kettlebells, and proper sleep. Thank you for answering my question. All right, so I want to kind of follow up with this and say, okay, men, man, if your waist is over 40 inches, right, it's a bad thing. That's bad for your Your waist over 40 inches around, that's bad for your erection. That's also bad for your heart. So put you for heart issues later on. Okay? And of course, before your heart gets affected, your penis is going to be affected as well. So studies have shown that if you have a waist that's over 40 inches, then your risk of ED is higher, or you already have ED already. Okay? And so that is a good marker to follow. That's even more accurate than even BMI. But your BMI, or basal metabolic, or your body— your BMI is body mass index, should be less than 30. And there is a calculation for that, but you can find it anywhere on the internet. For BMI, you put your weight there in pounds and it'll calculate it out, and it should be under 30. All right? And it should be under 30, because if you're over 30, then you're considered obese. All right? And in fact, I saw a patient not a while ago who was fairly healthy, doesn't have high blood sugar, Doesn't have high blood pressure, doesn't have high cholesterol at all. But the only thing that's going on is that he's overweight. He's 5'10, but he weighed 240 pounds. So that put him at a BMI of 35, a BMI of 35. And so because he's obese, it put him at risk for what's called endothelial dysfunction, meaning the blood vessels are not functioning well. The blood vessels sometimes have leaks in it, and it's not producing enough nitric oxide. When it's not producing enough nitric oxide, then, you know, that's gonna affect his erection. And that's the reason why he had ED. And also, when you're obese, you're just— it also takes away your testosterone level as well. your testosterone go down when you're obese. So when— if your weight— if your BMI is over 30, guys, and if your waist over 40, then you need to get your testosterone measured because most likely it's also low as well too. All right, so, uh, I, I appreciate the feedback. I'm glad that this channel is keeping you healthy. It, it, it, it is my passion to share information that about sexual health that's accessible for you, that you can use at home. I share with you everything. And honestly, if you follow all my videos, you should see results. And we hear feedback all the time that it's a life changer for them. So thank you for doing that. And it all comes down to the 4 basic guys. All right? You want your sex life back, it's about diet, exercise, sleep, and stress. And stop doing— stop smoking, stop drinking excess alcohol. You drink too much alcohol. How much is too much? More than 2 drinks a day. A day. So you're allowed 14 drinks a week. And if your weight is over 200 pounds, or your waist is 40, that's not good, right? So it really comes down to those 4 basics. And it's something as important as your sex life, you got to put the effort into it, right? Because no one pill is going to take it away, I will tell you that. All right, so thank you for the feedback, uh, Disco Fever. Um, All right, well, you're welcome, Gonzalez. You're welcome. Okay, all right, so just a question here by— that's a long name— Charles Feliciano. All right, that's a long name. It's a good question here. Some steroids are good for ED. Just ask. Have friends using them and say good for manhood. Well, testosterone is considered a steroid, and of course testosterone is what makes you a man, right? A man has 100 times more testosterone than a woman, and so that's what testosterone in a man is responsible for erections, responsible for libido, right? Desire, libido, right? It's responsible for keeping your bones healthy, responsible for burning fat and build up more muscle. It helps with energy. It helps with sleep. It helps with focus, right? It helps you be more decisive, keep your mood more even. All right. So when it dips, the opposite occurs, right? You start gaining weight, you start gaining— have more body mass. You're not as assertive as you used to be. And you have less energy, less focus. You can see it as not able to focus on your on your project as much, you're not as efficient as you used to be, and then you started gaining weight, particularly for men, it's around the waistline, right? If you're starting to have fat around the waistline and fat on your chest, that's a sign of probably low testosterone as well. And you can easily get your testosterone measured by blood work. You measure the total testosterone. you measure the free testosterone, and then you measure the sex hormone binding globulin, or SHBG. And that's where you know where you're at. And then you can also need to measure your thyroid hormone too. All you need to do is measure the thyroid stimulating hormone, TSH, to see where you're at, because thyroid controls testosterone. Stress controls testosterone. Okay? The only way to measure the stress hormone is through the saliva, right? Through a saliva test. And we have a kit that is in our store that you can test cortisol, which is a stress hormone, through your saliva. And it is in our store, so check it out, the cortisol strip at ednomore.com. So measure your stress level. And that will— because testosterone can be measured, thyroid can be measured, stress hormone can be measured. How good is that, right? How good is that? All right. So, okay. I'm not so sure your question, Christopher Lamar. I'm not so sure what you're trying to ask. And, you know, guys, keep it professional, keep it respectful for your questions. All right. I appreciate that. You guys been good. You guys been good. And so, Patrick, I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. So is size dependent upon Blood flow, no. Size, it probably depend— you probably— it's probably dependent upon, you know, your anatomy at birth. And believe it or not, if you have ED, yeah, your penis will shrink. All right, so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here, Patrick Johnson. So you— your penis will actually shrink If you have ED, or your penis will shrink if you don't have an erection. So it's like a use it or lose it. And the reason why it shrinks is because the muscle doesn't get expanded out. It doesn't— I'm sorry, the muscle is not flexible. So let's— if you— if your penis doesn't have an erection, think of the muscle of the penis like a sponge. It's like a sponge. Uh, and, uh, it, and it needs to— the sponge absorbs water and it gets bigger, right? Well, the, uh, the corpus cavernosum is like a sponge. It fills up with blood. Um, and that's how you get an erection. So your, your, um, your penis mechanics is like hydraulic. It's all hydraulics, right? So there's blood flowing in and the The corpus cavernosum, or the penis muscle, gets engorged with blood. And as it gets engorged with blood, it compresses the vein to prevent blood from going out. And that's how you get a firm erection that stays right now. If you don't get an erection, the corpus cavernosum muscle that is like a sponge, it gets stiff. It starts to get stiff. You know, it doesn't expand as well, right? That's what's called fibrosis, or scar tissue sets in. So it gets stiff, it doesn't expand as well. And then the tunica albuginea, which is the wrapping that is on the outside of the muscle, gets stiff also. So the muscle itself gets stiff, or the scar tissue gets developed, and then the wrapping gets stiff. So that— so if you haven't had an erection in a while and you're, and you're And you're trying to get an erection, the muscle doesn't get engorged as easily because it starts to get stiff, kind of like a sponge. If you leave it dry for a while, it's hard, right? And it's not as flexible. And that's what happens with— when you don't have an erection with ED, you get fibrosis setting in or scar tissue. And then the muscle gets stiff, the wrapping, the tunica albuginea, uh, uh, gets stiff, uh, as well. Um, and then, um, it's harder to get an erection. And then on top of that, you probably have decreased blood flow coming into, uh, the penis. So that's how you get shrinkage. However, the, uh, the atrophy or the shrinkage from ED It's actually reversible with doing penis pump, with doing traction. And sometimes I've seen it being reversed when we do a stem cell injection to the penis along with shockwave therapy and Botox. I have a patient who came into me because he hasn't had sexual activity in like 10 years because his wife been sick. His wife has passed and now he's looking at dating. And his penis went from 7 inches to now about, you know, 4 inches erect. And he also has a curvature as well. So when he stands up, you know, because of so much shrinkage in his penis, when he stands up, the foreskin just completely just covers the penis. Um, and so, um, he came to see me and what we did was, you know, we, uh, uh, injected his own stem cell from his body called the platelets, which is the plate— uh, the, the platelets come from your blood. We get that out, inject it into the, uh, penis to, uh, revive the, uh, the muscle, uh, and also bring in more blood flow. And then the shockwave. I think of it like, uh, think of it like an icebreaker. It, uh, the shockwave will get rid of the fibrosis. Um, and the Botox, what it does is that when we inject it in the penis, it relaxes the corpus cavernosum muscle, which is the penis muscle, to allow it to be engorged with blood. We're putting the stem cell to make more blood vessels, to create more canals so it can have more blood flowing in. We break up the scar tissue, and then we also do magnet therapy to detoxify the area for him as well. And then he does penis pumping and traction at home to extend the shaft again, so that way it doesn't get buried inside the foreskin. And lo and behold, and it took him a while, and he's been very religious with, uh, following that protocol. Guess what? Now, you know, his penis now erected back to— in fact, he said it's about 7.5 inches, uh, now, uh, and when he stands up, his shaft doesn't, uh, go inside the foreskin anymore. It looks It looks normal now, and he doesn't have to feel so self-conscious when he's with a woman now. So that was the whole thing, was to make him feel less conscious. Now he's actually able to get an erection and is dating again. Now, you know, he followed the Get Hard System protocol. He does his homework with, um, uh, Kegel machine and, um, a penis pump and the traction device. Um, and he's following the Mediterranean diet and exercises, um, 3 times, um, a week. It's like 30 minutes, right? And then he also, um, uh, been getting a monthly shockwave. Um, and so That had gotten him back in the game again. And he, he does take low-dose, uh, tadalafil, 5 milligrams. Um, and that's all he needs. And he's now dating. Uh, so, uh, what I'm trying to say is that even though you have shrinkage, uh, you can still, uh, you can still, um, uh, regain your normal size again. And, uh, if you want to see if we can help you with the Get Hard System in the office, With using the latest innovation with stem cell therapy and shockwave, then go to renewwithdranne.com to fill out some questions and put in— fill out some questions and put in an application. Okay? So an application to see if you're a fit for us. We don't see everyone, and you talk to my team, but the Get Hard System is our system to revive you back again. And it works, and we see that in our patient. And the patient I just told you about is a real live patient right now that has now gotten his life back, 'cause before he was conscientious of the way his penis looked because of shrinkage, and he's also had ED. And all that is reversible. All that is reversed at this time. Okay. Well, you're welcome. You're welcome, Charles. Charles said, thank you, I appreciate it. I'm not sure. Like I said, Christopher, I don't know your question. Um, at this time. And so, you know, having said that, uh, guys, you know, uh, uh, you don't have to suffer in silence.
