Dr. Judson Brandeis: Should I Go On Hormone Replacement? And Popular Protocols For Perfecting Penile Performance

I am so pleased to welcome Dr. Judson Brandeis, America’s favorite urologist, back to the show for a second interview! His Brandeis MD clinic is at the absolute cutting edge of male sexual wellness and longevity technology, and we talk about some of the treatments and protocols I went through when I was at his office for our first show. In this episode, we get further into the discussion of sexual health and how sexual function is a reliable indicator for your overall vascular health (in fact, diminished sexual function is a 10-year warning for eventual cardiovascular disease risk!) and talk about blood flow, how and why certain drugs work, and GAINSwave shockwave therapy to improve penile vascular health. You will learn about the science of erections and how you get erections, how to sustain them, where drugs like Cialis and Viagra help, and where they will just be bandaids on your dysfunctional vascular system.  You will also hear about the benefits of certain drugs (such as Cialis, which decreases the incidence of heart attacks and improves urinary function, and Viagra, which reduces the risk of dementia) and the importance of testosterone optimization, both naturally and through pharmaceutical intervention, for sexual health and penile performance.   BrandeisMD is a national leader in technology and innovations in sexual medicine. Dr. Judson Brandeis is the National Director of Clinical Excellence for GAINSWave and created the largest study of Shockwave Therapy for ED ever, and BrandeisMD was one of the first offices in California to offer PT-141, Oxytocin, and Apomorphine for erectile dysfunction. Listen to our previous interview linked below.   TIMESTAMPS: If you are keeping your muscle mass, if you’re looking good in your body composition, this correlates directly with sexual function.   [00:38] What tendencies does he see in his clinic at the different ages of the patients? [02:29] Gainswave is a high frequency shock wave treatment that’s designed for penile function. As you age, you begin to clog blood vessels. [04:45] You have to optimize the blood flow to the penis. [06:49] You need an injury response for blood to the penis like damaging the muscles tissue after bicep curl. [10:37] Nitric oxide boosters are a wonderful way to decrease blood pressure.  [11:40] The psychological aspect is 50 percent of the whole process of erection. If your relationship is not where you want it to be, then it is not going to work.  [16:56] If you are developing erectile dysfunction, it is important to see a doctor because taking a pill is not going to fix the underlying problem. [22:40] Going into Gainswave office because of erectile problems, is not a magical cure.  One has to live a healthy lifestyle. [26:59] If you are not real active, your body won’t make as much testosterone. [32:43] The downsides of replacement therapy are growth of the prostate, although it does not cause cancer, and loss of hair. [35:10] Educate yourself about testosterone.  There are many people harming themselves from misuse of what they think will help them. [38:27] It is important to understand the effects of testosterone therapy.  You might be telling your testes to stop making their own. What is happening to your muscles? [49:16] Adequate sleep is most important for overall health. [56:24] To summarize, what are the messages for the patients from Dr. Brandeis?
