Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more than a bedroom issue—it's often the body's first signal that something deeper is wrong. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover the metabolic and vascular roots of ED that are frequently overlooked in standard care.

You’ll learn how insulin resistance silently damages the blood vessels required for healthy erections—often years before diabetes is diagnosed. We also dive into the liver-hormone connection, where poor liver function leads to estrogen buildup, disrupting testosterone balance and worsening ED even when lab values appear “normal.”

We explain why ED medications only work if the underlying systems are intact, and what it means when these drugs fail. More importantly, we share the five essential lab tests every man should consider to identify the real cause of ED—and how this knowledge can help prevent cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and further hormonal decline.

If you’ve ever been told ED is “just aging,” this episode will change your perspective—and give you a roadmap to take back control of your health.
