- That "longevity enhancing" Mediterranean diet not working out so well for your gut? Try doing it, but just get rid of the grains, or at least make sure they are fermented, soaked, sprouted, etc. if you do include them: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2022.1088693/full

| 0:00.0 | In this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Show, what to do if a Mediterranean diet hurts your gut? |
| 0:05.8 | The benefits of isometric training, nine ways you could be sabotizing your social life, and much more. |
| 0:17.1 | Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living, |
| 0:25.7 | biohacking, and a whole lot more. Welcome to the show. |
| 0:30.0 | You may have been like a gas station or convenience store or a random grocery store wherever, and you see these |
| 0:41.0 | horribly branded sexual enhancement pills, erection pills, whatever you want to call them. |
| 0:45.6 | And those can be tempting, throwing them back and get an insti pleasurable experience. |
| 0:51.3 | But we're talking about like four hour erections that won't go away, and nasty side effects, and heart issues, and sweaty palms, |
| 0:57.6 | and a possible trip to the hospital, get rid of that thing. And you know, these are pharmaceuticals, |
| 1:03.6 | or there are crappy herbal compounds that are somewhat effective, I guess, with a ton of nasty side effects. |
| 1:10.4 | So there is one natural sexual performance booster that I will stand behind. It's called Joy Mode. |
| 1:16.3 | Joy Mode. So what it's got is El citralline, arginine, yohimbing, and vitamin C. |

| 1:26.9 | cause nitric oxide production, penile tissue relaxation, they work for women too, in your sex organs, |
| 1:32.8 | and increased sex drive, and the antioxidant vitamin C protects the nitric oxide from getting degraded, |
| 1:39.1 | and enhances the blood flow promoting effects of nitric oxide. So it's a very intelligently designed, |
| 1:44.4 | sexual performance enhancing self-minutes. A little powder, you tear open the sachet, by the way, |
| 1:48.8 | it's amazing as a pre-workout too, if you need a pre-workout and a pinch. You put it in a little bit of |
| 1:53.2 | water, just like an electrolyte, and you do this like 45 minutes up to four hours prior to sexual |
| 1:58.4 | activity. You get better blood flow, you get better erection quality and firmness, better orgasms |
| 2:03.2 | for both males and females, better sexual energy, better sex drive, and just overall an amazing |
| 2:09.1 | experience without nasty prescription drugs or weird gas station pills. I'm going to give you a |
