Why a One-Size-Fits-All Approach to Erectile Dysfunction is Inadequate

Nitric oxide is absolutely necessary to attain an erection..The penis stays flaccid most of the time due to the intrinsic tone of smooth muscles that restrict blood flow to the area. In order to achieve and maintain an erection those smooth muscles need to be relaxed. That’s the role of nitric oxide.

To clarify, every underlying condition ultimately results in a decrease in nitric oxide. The problem is that because this decrease in nitric oxide has many different causes, each underlying condition needs to be discovered and addressed separately.

You’re looking for a solution to a serious problem. You should want to get to the bottom of it - not just do a one-size-fits all approach or put a temporary band-aid on the problem.

A short term solution will leave you disappointed in the end and do nothing to address the root causes and serious health issues that often accompany ED like damage to small blood vessels. Damage to these vessels can lead to high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.

Erectile Dysfunction is often the canary in the coal mine alerting you of a hidden health problem.

At Health Utah our goal is to identify all the contributing factors and address them all. Doing less than that can result in a less than satisfactory outcome.

Through a combination of testing and queries we evaluate all of the following potential causes:

- Damage to endothelial tissues that line your blood vessels.

- Dysfunction of your autonomic nervous system that controls smooth muscle tone

- Insulin resistance

- Diabetes

- Poor oxygen delivery

- Abnormal pulse and/or blood pressures

- Increased systemic vascular resistance

- Dehydration

- Hormone imbalances

- Excessive body fat mass

- Poor nutrition

- Swelling and edema

- Depression

- Anxiety

You might be wondering how we evaluate all of these possible contributing factors and charge you only $59 for doing it.

The answer is that we use specialized testing equipment out of Europe. Four different scientifically-substantiated tests are run. These include HRV testing, skin galvanic response, bio-impedance and pulse wave analysis. The testing arguably provides more information than thousands of dollars of blood testing.

Our provider combines the information gathered by this testing and the extensive review of your health history to determine the most probable underlying causes and prescribe the best course of care to resolve them.

Both of these men have obvious contributing factors: one has diabetes and the other obesity.

The reality is that any clinic selling a so-called cure for ED without addressing these contributing factors is doing you a tremendous disservice. Even if you have temporary results, they won’t last long without addressing the real causes. 

Let’s take the 70 year-old diabetic for example. Diabetes destroys capillaries, the smallest blood vessels in the body. The excess sugar in the blood breaks down the inner lining of the capillaries causing them to either die or collapse. Without these capillaries, the penis can’t fill with blood. So the capillaries have to be repaired or replaced. Taking the blue pill will never heal these vessels, acoustic wave therapy won’t heal them. 

The only way to heal them is to restore the fragile inner lining of the capillaries called the glycocalyx. This is done with very specific nutritional supplementation. The healing is then accelerated by therapies such as Photobiomodultion. You can learn more about these in upcoming videos. 

Then of course we need to address the diabetes itself. It won’t do any good to repair the capillaries just to have them destroyed again by uncontrolled diabetes. We address diabetes with proprietary protocols you will learn about at your initial consultation. 

Once the diabetes is addressed, we focus on the production of new blood vessels. This is where Acoustic Wave Therapy comes in. It has been shown in studies to increase a process called neovascularization or the production of new blood vessels. 

This particular combination of therapies and nutrition are perfectly customized to the 70 year old with diabetes and collapsed capillaries. But just like you, the 40 year old obese man will have a different set of issues that will need to be treated differently.

As you can see, each protocol of care is customized to each individual’s particular needs.
