How To Be The Hero of the Bedroom

Transcript:

[00:00] Welcome to the recharge podcast. This is segment number four of the bedroom hero. What I'm talking about in this segment I call gas station medicine herbal products and a little bit of the fringe and I hope you stick around till the end because there's a message there that you won't want to miss. I want to cover a few supplements here and give you a little bit about the how and the why. So the first is Maka. It's also known as Peruvian Ginseng. It's actually a route and I think it tastes pretty good. It comes in a powdered form. You can find it on Amazon and a variety of other companies and supplement places offer that. And the way it works is it actually increases testosterone receptors so your body can actually benefit from them. They also boosts Libido and uh, there is some reports that Maka can actually counter effect some of the side effects of Ssri Ssri antidepressants, like sertraline, Prozac, Zoloft, things like that that can affect Libido in Makkah is just one of the ways that as reported in the literature to counteract that. [01:01] One of my favorites is cacau or dark chocolate, and I usually buy the 85 to 90 percent forum because I want the benefit of this food. Food is medicine, but I don't want the sugar. I don't like extra added sugar for a variety of reasons and uh, you know, it was hippocrates who stay, who stated that instead of using medicine, why not try to fast for one day or also to use food as medicine? And so I really take that to heart in my own life practice. And for those that I work with on a coaching basis, there's some great recipes of Cacao on the web, including some, some cacao hot cocoa. I particularly like a product a from four sigmatic. You can find the link on my instagram bio, a delicious products. I take it for a variety of reasons. Um, some might want to check that out. [01:46] Gives, gives you an excuse to eat chocolate. The way it works, that actually boosts flavonoids, which increases nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a substance that is how blood vessels dilate and improves blood flow. That's how Viagra and Cialis and medications like that. They actually work on an enzyme that's involved in nitric oxide. Moving onto Tang Tongkat Ali or long jack, the medical scientific name is your Acoma long folio and this increases libido. I have a lot of my clients and patients take this hoping that they'll have better erectile strengthen. There'll be able to perform like there in 19, but the reality is it's primarily a libido booster. You'll want to know what you're taking and um, I'll get to that in just a minute here. A nexus pycnogenol or pine bark extract. It works similarly to dark chocolate cacao by increasing flavonoids and therefore increasing nitric oxide production. I have a lot of my clients or patients take horny goat weed. [02:48] This is what I call gas station medicine. It's actually tribulus is the formal name of it, but it's designed to increase our boost libido and many people take it hoping for a different effect. And I have diabetic people that are using the product and not getting results in wondering why I've got other people on a variety of other prescription medications that don't quite respond the way they think in. Part of the issue is it doesn't actually necessarily do a whole lot in terms of erectile function or dysfunction and knowing what you're taking in, what's in it in how it's supposed to work is a huge problem with a lot of these supplements. They go buy fancy names. The packaging is enticing. Their impulse buys usually at the gas station near the counter or the magazine section. And I get this question almost every day like I'm using this. [03:36] It doesn't work. All it does is gives me a headache. I'm not sure why it's supposed to do x, y, or Z. and you can't trust or believe the packaging on a lot of these things. They're not tested, they're not regulated. They can be tainted, adulterated, full of toxins. Occasionally, they may even actually contain some active ingredient, such as Tadalifil or Sildenafil. Which are the active ingredients in some of the brand name drugs that you are likely familiar with, the issue with this is depending on what medications a person's taking, whether they have any heart problems, whether they have eye problems, uh, there's a variety of contra indication to taking some of these medications. And if they're in these unregulated herbal products that may or may not be producing United States, there's really all bets are off. So I strongly encourage anybody listening to this to avoid the gas station pharmacology. So that wraps up this segment and a next, I'm going to be talking a little bit about some bio hacking techniques in terms of Ed and I look forward to your questions as I always have. Fantastic week. Be well.
