Erectile dysfunction is more than just a bedroom issue—it’s often an early indicator of more serious health problems. In this episode of “The Doctor’s Farmacy,” I look back on conversations with Dr. George Papanicolaou and Dr. George Shapiro to explore the surprising connections between sexual health and overall wellness and why ED is often an early indicator of metabolic issues, insulin resistance, and heart health. I’ll cover conventional treatments, as well as emerging therapies, and share how lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, and sleep can boost testosterone and improve sexual performance.

What common misconceptions exist about erectile dysfunction?
That's not going to go well. For many of my patients, caffeine can disrupt sleep, spike anxiety, lead to hormone imbalances. It's also incredibly hard on the gut, causing irritation that many don't even realize is happening. And that's why I'm so excited to share with you a truly remarkable alternative, Peaks Nanduka. Nanduka is the first-in-class coffee alternative that offers
all the comfort of a warm morning drink, but without the downsides of coffee. It's crafted from fermented pu-erh tea, which provides a clean, sustained energy boost and a powerful blend of adaptogenic mushrooms that enhance stress resilience and support hormone health.
The ceremonial-grade cacao not only gives Nanduka a delicious chocolatey flavor, but also activates your metabolism, helping you avoid the crashes that come with coffee. I've made the switch myself, and the benefits are clear. Calm, sustained energy, better focus, and no gut irritation. If you've been thinking about giving up coffee, now's the perfect time to try Nanduca.

What do you reach for after you finish a workout? If you're like most people, you probably reach for a sports drink to replenish the water and electrolytes you lost.
And that's great, except that most of these drinks are also filled with sugar, food coloring, and other junk. When I want to get the benefits of a sports drink without all the nasty stuff, I reach for Element. Their tasty drink mix has everything I need to give myself a science-backed electrolyte boost whenever I need it.
and there's no sugar, coloring, artificial ingredients, gluten, or fillers, which means it aligns perfectly with my dietary choices. Element is one of the most important tools in my health and fitness toolkit, and I know it can be for you too. Right now, Element is offering my listeners a free sample pack with any purchase. That's eight single-surfing packets free with any Element order.
This is a great way to try all eight flavors or share Element with a friend. Get yours at drinkelement.com slash hymen today. That's l-m-n-t dot com slash hymen. Before we jump into today's episode, I'd like to note that while I wish I could help everyone by my personal practice, there's simply not enough time for me to do this at this scale.
