Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not just a performance issue—it’s a signal from the body that something deeper is out of balance. Affecting over 30 million men in the U.S., ED can be caused by a complex mix of physical, hormonal, emotional, and lifestyle factors. At Patients Medical in NYC, our integrative doctors go beyond the symptoms to uncover and treat the underlying causes—naturally, safely, and effectively.
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the consistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual performance. While occasional difficulty is common, chronic ED can significantly affect self-esteem, relationships, and quality of life.
Types of ED include:
Our functional medicine approach seeks to uncover the “why” behind ED. Common underlying causes include
We build personalized nutrition plans focusing on anti-inflammatory, hormone-supportive foods. Zinc-rich sources like pumpkin seeds and oysters are included to support testosterone. Nitrate-rich vegetables like beets and leafy greens are added to improve circulation. We remove sugar, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods that impair endothelial function. We also address timing, digestion, and possible food sensitivities to ensure your metabolism supports optimal performance and recovery.
IV nutrient therapy delivers essential compounds directly into your bloodstream, improving absorption and results. We use infusions with B-complex, magnesium, L-arginine, and glutathione to boost nitric oxide levels, reduce inflammation, and enhance cellular energy. These therapies can improve sexual stamina, circulation, and overall vitality. Each IV is custom-blended based on lab data and tailored to your unique deficiencies or goals.
We prescribe evidence-backed supplements like Tongkat Ali, Maca, Ashwagandha, and Ginseng to naturally support testosterone and reduce stress. Nutrients like zinc, selenium, CoQ10, and L-citrulline are selected to enhance blood flow and endothelial health. Each supplement plan is carefully designed based on your labs to restore balance, reduce dependency on pharmaceuticals, and support long-term function and performance.
Emotional and mental stress can inhibit arousal and affect blood flow. We offer mind-body therapies like acupuncture, guided meditation, yoga, and breathwork. Adaptogenic herbs like Rhodiola and Holy Basil are used to regulate cortisol and restore adrenal balance. Counseling and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are available if deeper psychological causes or performance anxiety are involved.
Hormonal imbalances are a top cause of ED. We evaluate testosterone, thyroid, adrenal, and estrogen levels, then treat imbalances with bioidentical hormones or natural support. Testosterone therapy is closely monitored and safely dosed. Many men experience a dramatic improvement in energy, libido, and erectile function when hormone levels are restored to optimal ranges.
Excess weight, inactivity, and poor sleep all worsen ED. We create custom fitness plans with strength training, cardio, and stretching routines to improve blood flow and stimulate testosterone. Our lifestyle team provides tools to improve sleep hygiene, manage screen time, and build long-term habits that support vascular and hormonal health.
John, a 51-year-old executive, came to us after a year of erectile issues affecting his confidence and marriage. Testing showed low free testosterone, insulin resistance, and high cortisol. We initiated bioidentical testosterone therapy, IV nutrient infusions (L-arginine, magnesium), a low-glycemic diet, and stress-reducing acupuncture. Within 12 weeks, he regained full erectile function, improved sleep, lost 14 pounds, and rekindled intimacy with his spouse—without any prescriptions.

Yes. Many men improve naturally with lifestyle changes, hormone optimization, and nutrient therapy. Our goal is to restore your natural function, not rely on short-term fixes.
Testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid hormones directly influence libido, stamina, and performance. We assess and optimize hormone levels with safe, bioidentical protocols tailored to your labs.
Absolutely. Our integrative approach is safe, effective, and age-appropriate. We’ve helped many men in their 60s, 70s, and beyond feel like themselves again.
Some notice improvement within 3–4 weeks. Hormone therapy, IVs, and stress reduction typically yield full results in 8–12 weeks, depending on severity.
Urologists often treat symptoms with drugs. We address root causes like hormones, circulation, stress, and lifestyle—restoring sustainable health and function.
Not right away. We work alongside current medications and taper down as your function improves—always under careful supervision.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
