Erectile Dysfunction Is an Early Warning Sign: What Your Body Might Be Telling You
If your erections are changing, it may not be “just aging.” Rita De Michele sits down with Dr Arthur Burnett II, a Johns Hopkins urologist whose research helped make treatments like Viagra possible, to explain why erectile dysfunction can be an early signal of bigger health issues like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. They also unpack common testosterone misconceptions, when men should ask for PSA screening, and how modern prostate cancer care can protect long term sexual function. This is a practical, straight talking conversation to help men advocate for their health earlier, not later. 🔗CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST https://drarthurburnett.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drarthurburnett/ https:/https://www.instagram.com/dr.arthurburnett/ https://www.facebook.com/DrArthurLBurnett/ Welcome to Beyond Diagnosis, a podcast that will raise your awareness, strengthen your decision-making, and amplify your voice for Alternative practices, so you can take back control of your health.
