Dr. Kahn’s Approach to Men's Sexual Health (Erectile Dysfunction)

Dr. Kahn’s Approach to Men's Sexual Health and Microcirculation

Evaluate: Vascular Risk Factors

Top 3 Lifestyle factors:

Diet
Exercise
Sleep

Inherited/Family History:

Lipoprotein(a)
Familial hyperlipidemia
MTHFR with homocysteine elevation

Lab Measurements:

hs-CRP
Lp(a)
Nt-proBNP
hs-CRP

“Check their heart health, because erectile dysfunction is the canary in the coal mine.”

Treat: Recommendations

My most powerful interventions:

Add whole foods with a lot of fruit and ditch processed foods
Exercise 22 minutes a day or more
Stop smoking

Supplements I Use

Neo40
Bergamet Pro+
Arterosil (green seaweed capsules that restore artery linings)
Beet powders (BioSchwartz) and Affirm tablets

When do you use Arterosil?

I will try Arterosil with all patients. Men with sexual health concerns are desperately seeking improvements, and I want to help them. Arterosil is unique as the only endothelial glycocalyx supplement backed by research.

In men with erectile dysfunction, three factors that lead me to recommend Arterosil include:

High blood pressure
Diabetes
Processed food diet

Arterosil Dosage:

Initial Dose: 1 tablet twice a day

Maintenance dose: Same

Discontinue: At least a six month trial

Measure: Progress Monitoring

I’m looking for improvements in the following measurements in men:

EndoPAT improvements
ADMA improvements
Nitric oxide production improvements

Results:

My patients have had improved success, with or without erectile dysfunction medication.
Engage: Patient Compliance

Educate up front about the reasons, the anatomy, and the importance of endothelial health.

Biggest Tip?

“Give them hope. Use a multimodal approach like Arterosil and GAINSWave shockwave therapy along with the home device Phoenix Pro”

“Check their heart health, because erectile dysfunction is the canary in the coal mine.”
