Mindsip insights from this episode:
Track health data with comprehensive lab tests from Function Health
Function Health is a service co-founded by the host that allows you to get over 110 biomarkers tested twice a year to track your health data.
Utilize regenerative injections to enhance erectile function
Injecting exosomes or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) directly into the penis, known as a P-shot, can significantly improve erections by delivering a high concentration of growth factors.
Utilize GainsWave to regenerate penile tissue with shockwave therapy
A non-invasive technology called GainsWave uses low-intensity shockwaves to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis, with results lasting up to two years.
Reduce sugar intake to combat erectile dysfunction
Sugar is extremely inflammatory to the blood vessel lining, and within two hours of consumption, it causes vasoconstriction that reduces blood flow.
Recognize erectile dysfunction as early indicator of heart disease
The first sign of endothelial dysfunction, which causes heart attacks and strokes, is often erectile dysfunction because it's a systemic vascular problem.
Reduce alcohol to prevent testosterone conversion to estrogen
Alcohol increases an enzyme called aromatase, which converts testosterone into estrogen, leading to symptoms like 'man boobs' and lower testosterone levels.
Demand proper cholesterol testing for better metabolic health
An estimated 99% of people are not getting the right 21st-century cholesterol panel (lipoprotein fractionation), which is crucial for understanding metabolic health.
Reduce belly fat to boost testosterone levels
Visceral belly fat contains an enzyme called aromatase that actively converts your testosterone into estrogen, leading to lower T levels and hormonal chaos.
Address erectile dysfunction in young men to break stigma
