Who needs Viagra?

Yes, erectile dysfunction can reverse with the Wheat Belly lifestyle. But why and how? Erectile dysfunction, ED, and thereby erections, are fairly complicated phenomena. But the capacity to mount an erection parallels arterial health elsewhere in the body, particularly in the heart, since penile erections are a blood flow regulation phenomenon. In my cardiology practice, for instance, it was virtually the rule to see ED coupled with coronary disease, since coronary disease is essentially an expression of poor arterial function and health, also. If you have coronary disease, you likely have ED; if you have ED, you likely have coronary disease or at least prominent risk factors for coronary disease, especially hypertension. This is true whether you are 30 years old, 50, or 70. It means that many of the lifestyle changes that benefit cardiovascular risk also improved erectile function. If we remove wheat, grains, and sugars to reduce expression of small, oxidation-prone LDL particles that cause coronary disease, it also benefits erectile function. If we supplement omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil (and fish oil ONLY, not krill oil or other sources!), it improves arterial health and flexibility and likewise erectile capacity. If we restore vitamin D blood levels to the truly healthy range, such as 60 ng/ml, arterial health is dramatically bolstered in the heart and in the penile circulation.
