Sexual Health & ED Reversal: Dr. Anne Truong’s 6-System Approach to Get Hard

Dr Ron Ehrlich [00:00:00 ] Hello and welcome to Unstress Health. My name is Dr. Ron Erlich. Well, today we are diving into a topic that affects so many men. And for that matter, it affects so of their partners as well. And yet often it remains hidden, never discussed. And that is the topic of sexual health. Now, my guest is Dr Anne Truong. And Anne is a pioneer in this field with over 25 years. Of experience in anti-ageing and regenerative medicine. And she shares her own personal experience with her and her husband. She’s helping men reclaim their vitality through cutting edge treatments and holistic approaches. Now, there’s a common theme that runs through so many of our programmes. And it’s interesting to hear how the solutions may sound also remarkably similar. Although there are some real cutting edge stuff here that you need to pay attention to now She is the creator of and here’s a catchy title if there ever was one The Six Systems to Get Hard and the host of Sexual Health for Men podcast now Dr. Anne is breaking taboos and empowering men to take control of their wellness journey and get ready for this fascinating conversation that challenges conventional thinking and offers some real solutions. I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with Dr. Anne Truong. Welcome to the show end.

Dr Anne Truong [00:01:34 ] Thank you for having me here.

Dr Ron Ehrlich [00:01:37 ] And I’m always intrigued to hear about a practitioner’s personal journey into their area of specialty. And this area of speciality, of course, is something that is of interest to at least half of our listeners, if not all. Let’s just, could you just share with us, what drew you into this specialty of men’s sexual health?

Dr Anne Truong [00:02:01 ] Right, right. So, like, why would a woman like me, not a man, talk about men’s sexual health? Well, I not only talk about man’s sexual, but women’s sexual as well, but I focus more on men. And the reason why is actually for selfish reasons. It’s for self-interest. So, I, you know, in my mid-40s, I was noticing that, you know, I had some sexual issues as well. And so was my husband. And my husband also had some heart issues and he had to have a procedure and had to be on a heart medication. So when you have heart medication, it affects your sexual function and that is also contraindicated to even take any type of ED medication. And since being a doctor and I have backgrounds in doing acupuncture, Um, and, and from doing acupuncture, I know that I, um, I know the, I’ve learned how the body can heal itself and how the body is really one, uh, organ rather than separate, uh organ. And I wanted to find a natural solution for, uh uh, uh sexual dysfunction, particularly ED. Uh, so that’s when I deep dive into it. And at that time I was already doing. Stem cell therapy for pain. So I am a board certified medical doctor, treated over 37,000 patients for pain, and one of the things that I use is using your own stem cell to treat and reverse the condition. So, but with that knowledge, I dive deep into how to restore sexual function and did a lot of research, and I, as well as my husband, were my own first patient. And that’s how we explore and redefine or get heart system that we are using now. And I have found that your sexual function really just needs to be reawakened and boosted for it to start working. And oftentimes, it’s down to the basic things that we take for granted that is pivotal. To sexual function. So my interest in this is, again, it was self-interest and then it became a passion because I feel that, you know, sexual health is such an integral part of our health and it’s integral part who we are, but yet it’s shameful, it’s dirty, it is a taboo. Is, you know, we talk in the closet, we don’t talk openly, and it’s even prohibitive to even talk about the sexual organ name on social media, but yet we see movies that are sexually explicit all the time, but if I say the word penis on social media oh my god you know my video is banned and it’s like you know I get, I get a warning from social media. So, you know, it’s such an integral part of who we are. And it’s really, if they weren’t for sexual activity, we wouldn’t be here, right? And so it is, we won’t be there. And so I wanted to really my passion is to raise awareness of sexual health. And alternative to treatment for sexual dysfunction besides just medication. And to bring it to the forefront, like what we are doing now with mental health, that is not shameful, it is not dirty, and it’s not weak if you have it.

Dr Ron Ehrlich [00:06:02 ] Yes, and it’s always interesting, isn’t it, as a health practitioner, to motivate your own personal journey, you know, because we’re not just practitioners, we are individuals on a journey through life. And when something comes up that challenges us, particularly health-wise, and we happen to be health practitioners, it can certainly drive our interest even deeper and further. And it’s interesting to, I mean, that’s why I was so looking forward to talking to you because I do believe, as you’ve said, it’s a taboo. But, you know, to put it into perspective, and you mentioned heart medication affecting sexual health, and one can only imagine the effect that so many other medications have on sexual health. I’m thinking particularly antidepressants and the ubiquitous nature of those. I mean, how big a problem is… Sexual dysfunction, you know people not being as healthy in their sex lives as they would hope or like

Dr Anne Truong [00:07:04 ] Well, it’s very common, more common than we think. And there was a large study that was done in 1994, that was a long time ago, that shows that 50% of men over 50 have ED. It’s very, very common. The reason why it’s common, and that rises as you get older, 60% have ED when they’re 60 and 70% have when they’re 70 as well. And so the reason why that ED is so common is because ED is affected by common condition as you get older. When you get old, you have high blood pressure, you have high cholesterol, you get diabetes, you gain weight, you become more stressed, you don’t sleep as well. So all these factors accumulate as you get older and ED is really defined as decreased blood flow. You’re not getting enough blood flow to the penis and therefore you’re not able to get a functional erection. And all those conditions that I mentioned, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, or being overweight, stressed, and not sleeping well, all of that compound that it happened to happen when we get older. And then also as we get older, we also tend to make less testosterone or hormone, which also affects the erection as well too. So there’s a lot of factors that plays a role as you get older, but they’re all reversible. They’re all reverseable, except for maybe testosterone. Now you can increase your testosterone inn
