In this video, the speaker discusses erectile dysfunction and its underlying causes. He explains that erectile dysfunction is not just a problem with the penis, but rather a result of issues with endothelial health, which affects the arteries and veins in the body. The speaker emphasizes that erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of peripheral artery disease. He suggests several natural remedies to improve erectile function, including drinking a combination of watermelon juice, beetroot, and celery juice, which increase nitric oxide production. Additionally, he advises stopping the consumption of pornography, practicing nose breathing, and exercising to boost nitric oxide levels.

Key Insights:
- Erectile dysfunction is often treated without understanding the underlying cause.
- Hormone levels are often normal in men with erectile dysfunction.
- Erectile dysfunction can be an early sign of peripheral artery disease.
- Symptoms of peripheral artery disease can include cold feet, leg cramping, and slow wound healing.
- Erectile dysfunction is not only a problem with the penis, but with the overall health of the vascular system.
- An erection involves inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system, an increase in the parasympathetic nervous system, increased blood flow, and increased nitric oxide.
- A high-sugar diet can contribute to insulin resistance, which may worsen erectile dysfunction.
- A combination of watermelon juice, beetroot powder, and celery juice can increase nitric oxide levels.
- Porn-induced erectile dysfunction is a condition that can be caused by excessive consumption of pornography.

Today I’m going to talk about a natural remedy that can act as a homemade Viagra. All you have to do is drink a glass of this daily and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results. Our topic today is erectile dysfunction.
The biggest problem with erectile dysfunction is that men often get diagnosed and treated without fully understanding the underlying cause. Many times, hormone levels are normal when tested, but men with erectile dysfunction often have other health issues such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and smoking.
Prescribed medications like Viagra may not work for about 30% of men and can have severe side effects, such as gangrene of the penis. This highlights the need to understand what truly causes erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction is not just a problem with the penis, but rather a reflection of a larger issue known as endothelial health. The penis serves as a barometer for this health condition. Endothelial refers to a single layer of cells inside your arteries, veins, and lymphatic system.
Early signs of peripheral artery disease, which affects the arteries in the peripheral parts of the body like the arms and legs, can manifest as erectile dysfunction. Symptoms of this disease include cold feet, painful legs, leg cramping, color changes in the lower legs, slow wound healing, and hair loss on the lower legs.
The penis is a sensitive hydraulic organ, meaning it requires high levels of blood pressure in a confined space for movement. Several factors contribute to an erection, including inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system (the fight-or-flight response), an increase in the parasympathetic nervous system (responsible for relaxation and recovery), increased blood flow, and higher levels of nitric oxide.
The same factors that affect peripheral artery disease, such as age, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and stress, also influence the levels of nitric oxide. Additionally, an enzyme called pde2 plays a role in erectile function, and Viagra inhibits this enzyme.
To improve endothelial health and restore erectile function, addressing the underlying cause is crucial. Insulin resistance caused by a poor diet is a significant contributing factor. Adopting a ketogenic diet can help correct insulin-related issues. Meanwhile, there are several things you can do to enhance nitric oxide levels.
Citrulline, an amino acid precursor to nitric oxide, can be found in high amounts in watermelon. If you follow a strict ketogenic diet, you can juice the rind part of watermelon, including the white portion, to minimize sugar intake. Another natural nitric oxide booster is beetroot, which can be juiced or taken in powder form. Celery root juice is high in nitrates, similar to celery, and can also be added to the mixture. Dark leafy greens like arugula, kale, and spinach are rich in nitrates and can be included as substitutes or additions.
The recommended daily intake is one glass of this mixture every morning for about four to six weeks. It’s also essential to stop watching porn, as it can cause porn-induced erectile dysfunction. Breathing through the nose and engaging in regular exercise can further assist in increasing nitric oxide levels.
