Erectile dysfunction is a complex issue with various factors at play, including vascular, hormonal, and psychological elements that all intersect. Did you know that it can also be a strong predictor of future cardiovascular disease? Yes, ED is often a symptom of some underlying health issue, making it crucial to address holistically. 

When trying to optimize erectile health, one aspect that often gets overlooked is nutrition. Your diet can impact all three of these factors - vascular, hormonal, and psychological. In this episode, we'll explore how factors like cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes can have a detrimental effect on your ability to achieve and maintain healthy erections.
