alcohol is a huge problem when you have alcohol you have an acute inflammatory reaction in the blood vessel wall but the most the most that we see is sugar sugar sugar is extremely inflammatory if you have a coca-cola with basically the donut or a coke or an erection you gotta choose right within two hours right within two hours of having sugar we can actually measure in the urine an inflammatory mediator
We can actually measure your blood vessel by looking at endothelial function testing to see that it's vasoconstricted after sugar. Sugar could precipitate a heart attack. There was a good video. So basically you don't have dessert if you wanna have sex, is that the idea? You gotta pick what you want.

So sugar's a big problem, but what we're finding out is blood flow is huge, and like you said, to see the diseases or what we're eating, and that can affect us a lot. I want people to really get that.

Well, sugar is the biggest cause of inflammation inside the blood vessel lining, which is a big factor, the reducer of blood flow. It's all about blood flow. So what are some of the things that we can do to increase blood flow? A technology that I recently started using about a year ago is called Gaines Wave.

GainsWave uses low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and it basically can optimize men's health. It can optimize performance. What it does is it creates a small injury. Injury then sends a message to the brain. The brain releases mediators, mesenchymal stem cells, to go to that site and increase blood flow by causing what's called angiogenesis.

Actually, the Gaines Wave treatment, which has been very popular lately, and it's available all over the U.S. We do it in New York City and my Westchester location, but it's involved everywhere. But it's for two things. It basically helps increase blood flow. And it does that by angiogenesis.

Correct. So anytime you have an injury, your body's trying to repair that injury. And our natural repair mechanism is stem cells. So you have a cut on your finger or a shave, you're shaving and you have a cut. What happens in two days? It's healed. Why does it heal so fast? We have a self-repairing mechanism.

So this low intensity shockwave therapy, GAINS Wave, basically gives you this small injury And we're all familiar with shockwave therapy for lithotripsy, right? Lithotripsy is higher intensity for kidney stones. So this is low intensity. So the GAINS wave therapy basically works by angiogenesis, new blood vessel growth, and growth factors, bringing new growth factors to the area.
