Prevalence increases with age. As a general rule, 50% of 50 year olds, 60% of 60 year olds, and 70% of 70 year olds, have ED. 02:39 Causes of Vascular Dysfunction within the Penis: About 80% of ED is vascular in origin. As you age, blood vessels age, being less compliant and making less nitric oxide. 05:05 PDE5 Inhibitors: This is the class of drugs that include Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and Stendra. These drugs increase nitric oxide activity, which enhances blood flow. They do not increase the amount of nitric oxide your body makes. 07:25 GAINSWave Therapy: It has been used in Europe for about 15 years. It naturally helps the penis restore endothelial function. It is sound wave therapy. The high intensity version is used for breaking kidney stones. 09:21 Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Penis: PRP used in the penis for regeneration of erectile tissue is a new application of the therapy. There are no human trials. It is very effective. Healthier men have healthier blood for reinjection, and will have a better response. GAINSWave has a faster response and less trauma. 10:58 ED and Depression: Men with ED often become depressed. In a study using Viagra, depressed men with ED, whose function was returned, had decreased depression. SSRI antidepressants effect sexual performance of about 50% of men who take them. 15:11 Hormonal Relationship to ED: You need a certain amount of testosterone to stimulate eNOS to allow for erections. Research does not show a serum level that is required for that. 16:22 Pornography Causing Erectile Dysfunction: Prolactin inhibits dopamine, which is required to increase libido, enabling erections. Excessive pornography use raises prolactin levels, and can thus cause ED. Pornography used to be a picture here and there. Now even children have access to pornography 24/7. The Coolidge Effect is that novelty increases dopamine. 21:12 Recovery of Function from Pornography-Induced ED: The older the man, the quicker the recovery. When his brain was developing, he was not exposed to a large amount of video pornography. Younger guys can take several months of therapies to recover. The organization Reboot Nation helps guys reboot their brain. A 2014 study in Canada showed that 25% of men between the ages of 16 and 21 reported ED. Many times this is due to pornography. 28:07 Efficacy of GAINSWave: GAINSWave therapy will not help a man who has pornography-induced ED. Not only SSRIs contribute to ED, beta blockers, Finasteride (used for hair loss or enlarged prostate), diuretics, and benzos do as well. GAINSWave will help men with ED who also have metabolic disease. 29:43 Peyrone’s Disease: 32:33 GAINSWave Therapy and Women: Both PRP and GAINSWave therapies are beginning to be done on women for inability to orgasm.  There are no side effects to GAINSWave therapy. 35:00 Preventing ED: Maintain healthy blood vessels and healthy nerves. Eat a healthy diet. Get off sugar and refined carbs. Keep your blood sugar ideal. High blood pressure often reflects endothelial dysfunction. Sleep well. Manage your stress. Stress hormones immediately can cause endothelial dysfunction in certain areas. 38:08 Time Restricted Eating: Dr. Retzler absolutely recommends time restricted eating.  Calorie restriction is the only intervention that has been shown to increase lifespan. Dr. Retzler compresses her eating into an 8 hour window. She recommends to her patients at least a 12 hour fast. 40:15 Metabolic Endotoxemia: Every time you eat, there is a small amount of increased intestinal permeability/leaky gut. This increases lipopolysaccharide bacteria in the gut and increases free radicals throughout your body. 44:36 Cost of PRP and GAINSWave:
