Can Erectile Dysfunction Be Connected To This?

Erectile dysfunction is a very common problem among men. In fact, 10% of men under the age of 40 have erectile dysfunction, and 60% of men experience erectile dysfunction by the age of 70.

While traditional medicine has focused on targeting erectile dysfunction as a local problem, Functional Medicine recognizes that it is actually a systemic issue, often brought about by our ultra-processed, high-starch, and sugar diets.

In a recent episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I discuss the Functional Medicine approach to diagnosing and treating male sexual dysfunction, and why it is so important to get to the root cause of this issue.

In this episode, we discuss:
- The prevalence of erectile dysfunction
- The root cause of low testosterone
- The conventional medicine approach to treating erectile dysfunction
- How do Viagra and ED drugs work?
- The Functional Medicine approach to treating erectile dysfunction: diagnostic testing
- Root causes of sexual dysfunction
- Diet, lifestyle, and supplements to improve sexual dysfunction

My husband is obese, had 2 stents for 95% blockage in right side heart. The little blue pill didn't work. Now he has prostate cancer. He hasn't been able to have sex for 11 years. It has ruined our closeness, and marriage. I constantly think about leaving him, but I do love the person he used to be. It's so selfish to ruin your life for food!!!
