She emphasizes that these are modifiable risks that individuals can address.

Testosterone can affect the integrity of your penis as well, but it's not the main thing. I will tell you this, the most common cause of ED is really alcohol. I drink a lot of alcohol. Cigarette smoking, obesity, overweight, and then diabetes and high blood pressure. So it's really lifestyle factors, and that you can stop from that. So the most common cause of ED is something that you can choose to stop. And then following by that is diabetes and being overweight. So the point that I'm trying to say is that if you're overweight, how do you lose weight? You eat better by following the Mediterranean diet and start exercising. That's how you lose weight.
