libido or difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection during
sex are tell-tale signs of erectile dysfunction, and they can be
uncomfortable to address. Sure, aging and performance anxiety are
part of the story, but believe it or not, erectile dysfunction is
not just about sexual health. It’s often the first clue of bigger
health issues. In this episode of my Health Bites series, I explore
the root causes of erectile dysfunction, delving into the
limitations of conventional medicine, the little blue pill, and how
we can utilize the power of Functional Medicine by making changes
to our diet, lifestyle, and even trying things like supplements,
peptides, and hormone therapy.  This episode is brought to you
