I just wanted to give an update. As in my OP, I have become been doing consistent fasting periods to start autogphagy and - generally - maintain keto or low carb most of the time (I have certainly taken 1-2 day breaks once or twice a month). My ED has most definitely improved to the point where some...

Dirk, The things you ARE doing are most certainly helpful! Staying away from as many carbs as you can and the intermittent fasting are all great but i agree they are not the answer to ED. However, I DO think long term water only fasts will repair ED for some and larger studies are starting to come o...

I would not say that it is impossible to reverse but of course everyone is different. Sounds like you are in great shape/health but I am reminded of a story my cardiologist told me when talking to me as (then) 290lb fat guy who just had a blocked artery. He relayed his ever-amazement at the way the ...

So great to hear people understanding that excessive carbohydrates (sugars) are so detrimental to our health! I have dropped 80 pounds since early June of this year doing KETO and fasting and my ED has improved significantly through autophagy. Our bodies are amazing but they are struggling under wha...

I do not want to come off as hyperbolic and I am most certainly not the first to say this... but I would like to encourage anyone having ED problems that you believe are related to Diabetes (autonomic nerve), Atherosclerosis or even Peyronie's to research Autophagy and consider long term water only ...

Two Week Update So shortly after my OP I started adding a few things to my daily supplement list that have really helped (that or the other things I listed in the OP are just starting to work). I started taking: 1. A microdose of Cialis (<5mg) nightly 2. D-Aspartic Acid 3. Ashwaganda 4. Tribilus I h...

Locked5x5, while avoiding sugars is a good idea. Carbs is what seems to be the big diabetic problem. I would suggest that you try my suggestion of getting some simple blood glucose monitoring equipment. That will show your progress on your glucose levels. Then you can try cutting back on carbs &...

I personally have doubts that lifestyle changes will help with ED. Especially after it has hit you. Let's talk about blood glucose for a minute. My local urologist that I plan on using for my implant has done several informational videos on YouTube for Boston Scientific or AMS. I forget which at th...

In addition to peripheral neuropathy in the penis, high blood sugar can also cause autonomic neuropathy which affects involuntary body functions, including sexual response. However as you mentioned, you believe you have not been pre diabetic for that long, but it is a possibility. You have taken th...

A Very Long Post - But hopefully my story and information will help others and possibly educated myself further as well. First of all let me just say how thankful I am that a site like this exists. I have been lurking for a bit but would really appreciate any feedback on my situation and potential n...
