- 0:18Speaker 1: back to the episode.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Welcome to Revealing Wholeness podcast dedicated to revealing the profound
- 0:26Speaker 2: connections between body, mind, and spirit, where we believe that
- 0:29Speaker 2: true wellness arises from addressing the root causes of our
- 0:32Speaker 2: health challenges, not just masking the symptoms. Here we dive
- 0:35Speaker 2: deep into how holistic approaches such as advanced chiropractic care,
- 0:39Speaker 2: personalized nutrition, and natural healing practices can transform your life.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Now Here is doctor Troy.
- 0:53Speaker 3: Hello and welcome. I'm doctor Troy. It's an interesting proposition
- 0:58Speaker 3: to explain to somebody why they have sexual dysfunction, and
- 1:04Speaker 3: there are many, many causes, but oftentimes will go after
- 1:08Speaker 3: the quick fixes, like for men, a viagra or something
- 1:12Speaker 3: like it. And while viagra is it's really quite a
- 1:17Speaker 3: wonderful thing for men that have issues with a rectile dysfunction.
- 1:21Speaker 3: But the problem is is that it's not effective for all.
- 1:23Speaker 3: In fact, fifty percent of men will find that it
- 1:26Speaker 3: is not helpful. And I hope to give you at
- 1:29Speaker 3: least an explanation why and what to do, and at
- 1:32Speaker 3: least acknowledge that in both men and women we have
- 1:36Speaker 3: a rectile tissue. Now, men is a bit more obvious
- 1:41Speaker 3: than women. Women have a clitteris, but they also have
- 1:45Speaker 3: parts that men do. Yet men is in the form
- 1:49Speaker 3: of a penis, which is obviously on a much grander scale.
- 1:52Speaker 3: And so they're both very similar because we both share
- 1:56Speaker 3: origins of tissues, and so they both require actual engorgement
- 2:02Speaker 3: in order for the nerves to become excited or aroused
- 2:06Speaker 3: and now climax or orgasm to happen. Now, if we
- 2:11Speaker 3: enjoy sex and we want that to happen, then both
- 2:14Speaker 3: men and women are going to actually benefit from this pathway.
- 2:18Speaker 3: This is not just a men's podcast, this is both
- 2:23Speaker 3: sex's podcast. So here you have women who have trouble
- 2:27Speaker 3: achieving orgasm or men have trouble achieving an erection. They're
- 2:33Speaker 3: often the same. And so let's go into the whys
- 2:38Speaker 3: and what fors and the hows. So in our blood vessels,
- 2:42Speaker 3: we have the inner space where the blood is well.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Around that blood is the blood vessel. But the first
- 2:49Speaker 3: cell you come to that is next to the blood
- 2:52Speaker 3: is a thin layer of endothelium or endothelial tissue or cells.
- 2:58Speaker 3: They're usually one thick, but there's some important things that
- 3:03Speaker 3: have to happen in that endothelial cell. Now, for those
- 3:06Speaker 3: of you out there that have heard from your doctor
- 3:09Speaker 3: or have been told that you have placking, those are
- 3:13Speaker 3: endothelial cells that are now proliferating. And so this fix
- 3:20Speaker 3: for why viagra doesn't work, or why a woman can't
- 3:24Speaker 3: achieve an orgasm or a man can't achieve an erection,
- 3:29Speaker 3: are actually the same kind of thing. So you have
- 3:31Speaker 3: women having heart attacks because they also have placking in
- 3:35Speaker 3: these blood vessels of theirs, just like men. And yet
- 3:38Speaker 3: the issue is is that when we have blood vessel stress,
- 3:42Speaker 3: they call it sheer stress. When blood pressure now elevates,
- 3:47Speaker 3: pulse rate elevates, there is stress on the endothelial tissue
- 3:51Speaker 3: that lining in the blood vessel that we talked about.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Those cells, they're supposed to get kind of like a
- 3:58Speaker 3: signaling from a molecule called nitric oxide synthase. Now, in humans,
- 4:06Speaker 3: we produce an amino acid called l argenin. In our kidneys,
- 4:11Speaker 3: we break down l argenine because we don't want a
- 4:14Speaker 3: lot of l ergenine, and so in our kidneys we
- 4:17Speaker 3: have this wonderful enzyme called rgenase. Now that's important because
- 4:21Speaker 3: too much argenine is actually linked to heart disease and
- 4:25Speaker 3: cancer and other things not good. So we don't want
- 4:29Speaker 3: a lot of rgenine in our diet. And it happens
- 4:32Speaker 3: to be quite prolific in seeds, but it is in
- 4:37Speaker 3: pretty much all dietary needs. The trouble is is that
- 4:41Speaker 3: what counterbalances l ergenine, as I've done in other podcasts,
- 4:45Speaker 3: is l iszine, yet again another amino acid. But for
- 4:50Speaker 3: sake of argument, let's move on. L. Rgenine actually combines
- 4:55Speaker 3: with this nitric oxide synthase and it produces from the
- 5:01Speaker 3: two of them nitric oxide and L cituline, another amino acid.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Now that nitric oxide is the most important thing that
- 5:08Speaker 3: we're talking about, because nitric oxide leaves that endothelial cell
- 5:15Speaker 3: on the lining of that blood vessel and enters the
- 5:18Speaker 3: smooth muscle on the other sides. We go from blood
- 5:22Speaker 3: to endothelial tissue to smooth muscle. So the artery has
- 5:26Speaker 3: these different layers, and so we're at now the muscle
- 5:30Speaker 3: layer that actually is trying to push back or relax
- 5:33Speaker 3: depending on what needs to happen, if you need to
- 5:36Speaker 3: increase blood pressure or decrease blood pressure. And so when
- 5:39Speaker 3: nitric oxide enters that smooth muscle cell, it combines with
- 5:44Speaker 3: guanyl cyclase that is inactive and now becomes an active
- 5:48Speaker 3: form of cyclase. That cyclase is yet again another enzyme,
- 5:53Speaker 3: and when combined with GTP guanyl triphosphate, it now becomes
- 5:59Speaker 3: cyclic GMP monophosphate. And what happens is a calcium atom
- 6:05Speaker 3: is liberated and relaxation occurs. Now all of that, if
- 6:10Speaker 3: you want to rewind it and really follow it because
- 6:12Speaker 3: you're interested, you can, but it's not horribly important. What
- 6:17Speaker 3: is important is where viagra actually is active, and where
- 6:22Speaker 3: it's active is at the cyclic GMP. So viagra acts
- 6:28Speaker 3: on cyclic GMP to instantly produce relaxation in the smooth muscle.
- 6:33Speaker 3: Why is that important because we need engorgement in the
- 6:37Speaker 3: clitoris or the penis in order to achieve that excitation
- 6:44Speaker 3: that is necessary to achieve things like orgasm or climax
- 6:48Speaker 3: or what have you to enjoy a sexual response. And
- 6:52Speaker 3: so that being the case, if you don't produce nitric oxide,
- 6:57Speaker 3: you don't get to cyclic GM. And therefore, if you
- 7:01Speaker 3: don't have cyclic GMP, viagra has nothing to activate and
- 7:06Speaker 3: now relax smooth muscle. So here's the thing, Well, how
- 7:10Speaker 3: do I make this nitric oxide? Then should become the
- 7:13Speaker 3: question on everybody's tongue, so that I can make this
- 7:15Speaker 3: cyclic GMP, and therefore my viagra can work. Now, nitric
- 7:19Speaker 3: oxide is produced from vegetables. When we eat vegetables that
- 7:25Speaker 3: have potassium nitrate amongst other nitrates, they're converted to sodium nitrite.
- 7:32Speaker 3: You might think, well, isn't that like a hot dogs
- 7:34Speaker 3: and stuff? I was just looking at a natural package
- 7:37Speaker 3: of bacon and on it it said that it had
- 7:41Speaker 3: cell rejuice. Well, why cell rejuice? Because cell rejuice is
- 7:47Speaker 3: potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. Wait a minute, but isn't
- 7:52Speaker 3: sodium nitrate nitrite bad?
- 7:54Speaker 1: No?
- 7:55Speaker 3: Check out my other podcasts on why sodium nitrite and
- 7:58Speaker 3: potassium nitrate are not necessarily bad, though they can produce nitrosamines,
- 8:06Speaker 3: which are carcinogenic. If the animal is not a pastured animal.
- 8:11Speaker 3: If it's a animal that is fed so isolate protein
- 8:16Speaker 3: and corn that's genetically modified, they will rapidly turn the
- 8:20Speaker 3: nitrates and nitrites of the preserving process of that meat,
- 8:24Speaker 3: whether it's bushitito or bacon or ham or whatever, it's
- 8:29Speaker 3: going to then turn those nitrates and nitrites into nitrosamines,
- 8:34Speaker 3: which are cancer causing or carcinogenic. So if you want
- 8:39Speaker 3: to have your bacon, you need it to make sure
- 8:41Speaker 3: it's a pastured animal, and you don't care what preservative
- 8:44Speaker 3: they used, meaning you don't care that they use sodium
- 8:47Speaker 3: nitrate or potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. Now, they do
- 8:53Speaker 3: tend to use baits like sorbates. Sorbates you actually want
- 8:58Speaker 3: to stay away from. So if you have a cants, hey,
- 9:01Speaker 3: the nitrates and nitrites are okay, but the bait's not
- 9:04Speaker 3: so good. So if you're actually thinking about picking some
- 9:07Speaker 3: type of preserved meat, then that's your at least go
- 9:12Speaker 3: to ideas. So a pastured animal, sodium nitrite and potassium
- 9:17Speaker 3: nitrate not a big deal. Nitric oxide. When we eat
- 9:21Speaker 3: vegetables and we get this potassium nitrate, our microbiome in
- 9:25Speaker 3: our gut turns it to sodium nitrite and then sodium nitrite.
- 9:29Speaker 3: About twenty five percent of our production is stored on
- 9:31Speaker 3: our salivary glands so that it gets released when we
- 9:35Speaker 3: chew food. And now we actually produce nitric oxide immediately
- 9:40Speaker 3: in our mouth as a gas, but it also goes
- 9:43Speaker 3: into our vascular system, and so you can get nitric
- 9:46Speaker 3: oxide from your diet that way. And fifty percent typically
- 9:50Speaker 3: of our nitric oxide is dietary. Now the other fifty
- 9:55Speaker 3: percent is exercise. So let's say we take the average
- 10:00Speaker 3: sedentary man and woman they don't exercise. How much nitric
- 10:04Speaker 3: oxide are they producing, Well, not very much from their
- 10:08Speaker 3: exercise because they're not doing it. Then we look at
- 10:10Speaker 3: their diet and they're eating fast food all day and
- 10:13Speaker 3: they're not eating anything green or anything that will contain
- 10:16Speaker 3: decent amounts of potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite. Yes, they
- 10:23Speaker 3: might eat some preserved meat, but it's not going to
- 10:26Speaker 3: go real well for them because they're probably not choosing
- 10:28Speaker 3: an organic source. So all those nitrates and nitrites are
- 10:31Speaker 3: being converted to nitrosamines, and they're really not getting it
- 10:33Speaker 3: either from their diet. So now they can't get smooth
- 10:36Speaker 3: muscle relaxation. To engorge those tissues, and now they wonder
- 10:40Speaker 3: why they have a low sexual desire, and even when
- 10:43Speaker 3: they do, it's pretty flat and it's not enjoyable. So
- 10:48Speaker 3: if you want to enjoy sex and you love it
- 10:50Speaker 3: and you think it's awesome and love to be with
- 10:53Speaker 3: your partner, then both of you are going to want
- 10:55Speaker 3: to start considering, I've got to do some things to
- 10:58Speaker 3: change my diet. You're going to produce nitric oxide more
- 11:02Speaker 3: and more as your diet gets better, and you're eating
- 11:06Speaker 3: green foods, red foods, things that have actual good nutritional value.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Fresh foods would be great because most of our vegetables
- 11:17Speaker 3: are not fresh, so the fresher they are, the better
- 11:20Speaker 3: beats will do nicely. All types of greens would be awesome.
- 11:23Speaker 3: And then as you begin to actually feel better and
- 11:26Speaker 3: have more energy because you're now producing nitric oxide like
- 11:30Speaker 3: you should, you're actually going to protect your mitochondria, which
- 11:34Speaker 3: is where all your energy comes from, in every cell
- 11:36Speaker 3: of your body. And now you're actually going to feel
- 11:38Speaker 3: like doing some sort of moderate exercise or mild exercise
- 11:43Speaker 3: would even be awesome. And then all of a sudden,
- 11:46Speaker 3: as your body starts to change, you're gonna be thinking, Wow,
- 11:48Speaker 3: I actually want to be amorous with my partner, and
- 11:53Speaker 3: I find that I enjoy sex now more. It just
- 11:56Speaker 3: feels better. I'm able to achieve those goals in that
- 12:01Speaker 3: sexual accounter that make me feel good and make me
- 12:05Speaker 3: love my partner even more. So I hope that is
- 12:08Speaker 3: helpful in trying to explain how viagra works within that
- 12:13Speaker 3: smooth muscle so that you can achieve that erection, but
- 12:17Speaker 3: also how women do it too, because they do it
- 12:21Speaker 3: just like us men. So I hope that was helpful.
- 12:24Speaker 3: Until next time, I'm doctor Troy, and remember there is
- 12:27Speaker 3: way more right with you than there is wrong with you.
