(1 min) Transcript. This video explains that arterial clogging is not limited to our heart alone. Many other parts of our body are affected. For example, clogging in pelvic arteries may lead to sexual dysfunction in both men and women.

(7 mins) Transcript. Dr Greger's summary: "Addyi (flibanserin), the drug marketed for 'hypoactive sexual desire disorder,' is ineffective and unsafe. What about dietary approaches for female sexual dysfunction?"

The first part of this video explains HSSD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) in premenopausal women, and the challenges in HSSD diagnosis. For HSSD, a drug called Addyi got FDA approval in 2015. Dr Greger summarizes its history… that it was rejected twice by FDA because it simply doesn't work (!) but that it did get approval in response to public pressure… what kind of pressure? See the video! Also, Addyi has serious side effects and a "black label" FDA warning — this drug should not be taken with alcohol, for example!. An interesting article: Addyi Explained: Medical Breakthrough or Marketing Marvel? (2019) — has details of various studies and side effects of Addyi.

Next, Dr Greger draws an analogy between male sexual dysfunction (primarily ED) and female sexual dysfunction by saying, "the anatomy and physiology of sexual responses are actually quite similar between the two." He then remarks that improved blood flow should help both conditions.

How to improve blood flow in all our blood vessels throughout our body? Would all those lifestyle ideas (WFPB, exercise, restorative sleep, …) known to help with ED, heart disease, hypertension, … be applicable to female sexual dysfunction as well?
