This doctor is super smart, articulate, and knows how to break things down with a sense of humor and so that people understand it. Her patients are lucky, considering most doctors have a terrible bedside manner and don’t always explain things well
shes also gorgeous
What do you think about using a penis pump? Can it increase your chances of erections?
@@matthewlee9728 definate hottie and smartie
@@J2DaB33 Lmao are you attracted to her?
@@philr.2661 be honest she is a cutie and intelligent so yeah she has my attention
I use ashwaganda more for the cortisol effect. Sex wise, not noticeable unless you take it regularly for a certain amount of time. If you’re looking more for a noticeable boost in sex drive, use tongat ali, boost your zinc intake, tribulus is pretty good too. Other factors that definitely affect my drive is sleep, food and exercise. Correct those things first for best results.
I think ashawanda is highly overhyped for it's cortisol effects, or just plain didn't work for me like at all, something that did calm everything down and actually felt it was something I tried out of nowhere was lemon balm
Hmm so u know about Tongkat Ali, yes it good.
You're spot on. Sleep helps me a lot
Tongkat Ali, Maca root, and Ashwagandha case closed! 😎
@@davesaenz3732 Good sleep, clean diet and strength training are all you need.
Becoming a big fan of this show! So we’ll done and you’re tackling issues that used to be embarrassing to talk about or especially admit as a man I’m having issues! Thanks Doc.
I’ve been taking this twice daily for 2 and a half years. Recommended by my trainer. I’m 61 now and there’s no drop off in my energy and beyond!
What do you think about 500 mg capsule in the morning and 500 mg night and one tea Bag in the morning and thank you so much
I always enjoy your lectures on health. The broad knowledge you possessed is impressive, and your physical beauty is a plus !
Thank you for this timely vid. I've just started taking ashwaganda but I can't say I notice any difference. It could be I'm taking it at the wrong time of the day, based on this installment. Another astoundingly informative video. Rena Malik for president!
This is probably the best video I’ve seen on it so far.
Remember when you had less than 200,000 subscribers. Just saw you were at 1.5 million, it’s because of quality content in this video and it’s easy to understand. Keep up the great work.
I could listen you you all day and not get bored. I feel very engaged in listening to your info.
It works! I've tried it and amazing results.
Man Rene is in a roll I’ve never seen anything like this go get ‘‘em tigress !!
I absolutely love your videos! So educational!
I've been taken in for quite a while now and I tell you I love it❤❤
Beautifully narrated!
Thank you for providing this informative video.
She's the #1 doctor on RUclips!
Rachel Ross is better
I take it when I’m frustrated at work, helps calms me within 20 min. So I love it. If there are other benefits, fantastic.
Which brand do you take ?
i find myself listening while losing myself cant help but to stare and so much useful information amazing doctor
Really appreciate your videos Doc
Thank you for mentioning the contra indications, i.e., immune suppressants.
thanks Dr Malik, your video helped me understand when I should take ashwagandha, I'm talking it as supplement for low t. Appreciate this video
for the price and the low risk assuming no additional complicating health conditions, that testosterone boost is no joke.
So useful info I love❤❤❤❤ your videos you are so cute & smart to explain to us your patients so lucky
Love it doc! For the algo! 😊
Every time I watch your videos I like what I see.
Extensively times that step we are afraid to Take might just be the right one. Thank thanks for your Compassion and for not allowing me down throughout the whole revolution. Your medication that cured me is super remendous I Am delighted I came across your channel.
As a British person I can never get used to the American pronunciation of "herb". Here in the UK we pronounce the "h" in that word.
I ear you

@@abacdse😂😂😂😂
From what I've learned about ashwaganda is that it reacts to blood pressure medications, which I am taking.
@RenaMalikM.D. What is your opinion on a tea that has Ashwaganda in it? Does have any benefits or side effects?
Brilliant. Thank you.
Dr.sahiba i am waiting for your kind and valuable suggestion...Allah bless you.
Thanks Doc. You cleared this up nicely. I always suspected we may not even be getting the substance which is on the level. How do you go about ensuring there has been 3rd party testing?
I feel like it helped with me and my wife stress and anxiety.
Dr. Malik, has there been any studies on this and people with Hashimoto’s Disease?
The effects on cortisol might be helpful in their defeating stubborn fat stores, but with it being a nightshade it could also be an inflammatory for them specifically because of the nature of the autoimmune condition response.
Hi! I love your videos...i have a question: can I use this herb with ACE inhibitors? Thank you
Ugandans gather!!! This is locally called "Omulondo". Glad there's a proven scientific explanation. It's highly consumed in this part of the world mostly by men.
You are wonderful Doc and maybe a psychic!!! I purchased 2100 mg ashwagandha over a month ago and haven't taken a single pill. I've purchased this to boost my testosterone levels and to relax dummy resting time. I've noticed that as I am aging (53) it harder and harder for me to workout and see positive results. I also work 12 - 14 hours per day 5 to 7 days a week. I'm a little nervous about trying this without consulting my Doctor, however I had lab work done where my testosterone levels are slightly lower than normal for my age group. I will be having my physical exam here real soon and I'll wait for her to say yeah or nay. This is a supplement unknown to and I don't want to be want to be foaming at the mouth and flopping on the ground if I don't need this. If my Doc says it's okay then I'll will give it a go and hope that my workouts and sleeping patterns improve. Thanks as always Doc for being a Awesome and Knowledgeable Professional!!!!❤ Enjoy the rest of your day Doc!!!!
You can try i am taking 500 mg tablets twice a day without any side effects, it's Ayurvedic medicine.
Maybe look at tongkat ali too, 2100mg ash is a big dose, is it ksm66? Usually 300mg twice a day is the most that's recommended over a long period, although have seen up to 900mg a day
Bro just ask your doc for trt 100 mg test c u gonna feel 20 yo
I do testosterone cream 100mg per day. Research before you go that route. It's good and bad. One bad is you'll be on it for life. One good is you feel good.
I take the same amount in KSM-66, is that bad?
@@sircefiro
Just wondering if you could explain morphology and how antioxidants affect that. I remember years ago when my wife and I started with fertility clinic route, they had me on a lot of stuff to improve my "morphology," but they didn't really explain much beyond it helps.
I take it because it stops the release of cortisol whilst training, so I don't worry much about overtraining
Great video and information. Something I'll pass on for sure. Sounds like it causes more harm than good.
I'm taking kava now days. I tried this herb few years back when on vacation in the Pacific. It works very well in removing stresses and relaxing the mind for me.
I heard kava can cause liver damage I would stop taking it if I was you. I think it is banned in certain countries
thats her winning formula, the explains the structure of the studies and helps interpret the results of those studies and she stays soo close to the scientific method and will not stray. I think you can even find the studies she is finding and read them yourself. Shes tops and i will always check with her like i just did.
What I got from all of this is, it is better to focus on resistance exercise before looking at supplements as a preventative proactive measure.
It's not supplement sir it's proper medicine for anxiety, lack of concentration, weakness, memory loss and for lot of other things , and it's has long lasting effect of we take properly...
@@irshadhussain2856 Wow, thanks for the unsolicited education.
Your 100% correct sir.
Emotional blunting!! That’s a perfect description for the fact that ashwagandha takes me from being an agitated, impatient driver that verbalizes my annoyances with others to an extremely relaxed, calm driver that doesn’t really care when or how I get to my destination. It definitely works as a mood changer. 1/2 of a 300mg capsule works fine for me. Though, 300mg can be mind numbing.
I have a question, I would like a response, what is the period for which I take ashwagandha, is it harmful if I take it continuously, or should I stop for a while, and what is the duration of its use and the duration of the cessation, I hope for a response please😊
@@mondoahmd8088it is not harmful, it is not a medicine, it is just a natural herb, u can take it continuously all of your life
Checks my supps.. apparently taking 900mg a day lol.
@@mondoahmd8088
I’ve never researched the side effects if there are any. It could be perfectly safe everyday. I just sprinkle half of a 300mg capsule in my blended coffghee once in awhile. I wouldn’t do anything everyday. Especially supplementation.
Of course, people wouldn’t need to supplement if they weren’t eating anti-nutrients from plants that steal and block the absorption of key nutrients for healthy cellular function, energy production and brain function.
It also doesn’t help that modern people are now eating sugar and carbs daily that cause their gut bugs to release drugs which creates addictions and withdrawal symptoms leading to various “mood swings” and temperaments. Ashwaghanda and other supplements to the rescue I guess.
I'm going to be honest, I save my ashwaganda for multiple workout days where I can completely channel its effects, as sometimes the cool efficiency and drive I get from it can otherwise lead me to say and do subtly cruel things to people I would otherwise ignore.
Which blood pressure meds might it interact with?
I take ashwaganda regularly and I love it. It really helps with stress and boosts libido. It also does lower emotions but mostly just negative ones.
I also recommend taking Shilajit, wich feels like ashwaganda on steriods and if you combine these to, you will sleep like a baby, have a huge increase in terms of libido and be way more calm.
where do you get both products?
What brand do you use
So don’t take it if diabetes
What time is the best to take
Don't let your men take Ashwagandha and Shilajit, it will make them horse in bed and you won't be able to sleep because of unending sex😢
Dr. Rena, what is in your opinion the best exercise or way to loose belly fat for men in their 60s. Thank you.
Fad. In fact you should be extremely careful. I took it for a few days and ended up in a downward depression spiral. Luckily I realized it and stopped pretty quickly. Everyone reacts differently to mind-benders like this. YMMV!!!
Same experience, also opposite of stress relief for me. Gave me terrible anxiety.
I read some people even got extremely aggressive. Its best not to play with these things. Eat healthy, stay fit. Thats it.
Same with weed, just have to get over the hump as your brain resets your baselines.
I may have misunderstood. At around 4:20 were you supposed to say the environment around the testicles has alot of antioxidants, which causes infertility? I thought that high oxidation levels were the cause and that free radical scavenging compounds such as antioxidants would improve fertility. Great video.
Thanks
Glen
What about Maca and Maca root powder?
Great video as always. I have tried Ashwaghanda and defo feel the benefits. However I have also been told about Shilajit. Could you do a video on Shilajit and let us know if it's better or similar to Ashwaghanda? I have stopped ashwaghanda and switched to shilajit so will hopefully find out myself.
What's ur review about shilajit
thanks for the great info.
Was wondering doctor if there is a correlation between a tail bone injury and ED and if so what type of doctor should I see first.
Thanks Doc.
Yea its for real. I know from my own use of it. Before ever seeing any videos about it.
I have a question dr, I’m taking escitalopram 10mg for anxiety is helping me but slowly, if I take ashwagandha do you think it will help me????? Thanks
Could you please do a video on hyperspermia?
Im trying to get more in shape after college. I struggle alot with low energy and not getting 8-10 hours of sleep i average like 3-5. Started melatonin and got up to 7. Im gonna look into bringing this into my cycle
Are there any kidney/liver concerns when taking Ashwaganda?
There are no gov.regs.on these herbs.where do i find quality herb for sale?what company or brand is highest quality?
Is it possible to take multivitamin and ashwagandha tigether???
Weight training more seriously has been helping me. I was a long distance cyclist and stopped when I was getting issues that I thought were mechanical as everyone thinks, but I think I overdid it and the fatigue, stress, etc may have hurt me. As I hit the gym harder, I realized I'm in the minority with hair anyway, so now that I'm thinning again, I think it's due to the increased Testosterone, but I'll take it. But I still gotta fix my libido/ed.
What was yhe reason for your ED?
@@youguysaretherealheroes. I don't know, it's still broken, it'll take deep scientific research (head trauma, meds, who knows) but no dr. wants to do more than prescribe and get you out of office. I'm about to give up, if I haven't already (depression could also be a cause).
@@girohead keep working man
Don't give up
@girohead Try tongkat Ali powder, super effective. Also fix your sleep - major impact factor. Check your cardiocascular health - a major precursor of sexual dysfunction is blocked arterial flow or atherosclerosis throughout the body. Also try fasting for more than 30 hours once a month.
@@TheCycloneTrooper Thanks, I have also correlated severe sleep issues starting around the same time but nothing has helped consistently, including working out harder and stopping all caffeine entirely, I still don't sleep enough. I've questioned cardio, but only solution was statin, which hasn't helped much; is there a way to check/further clear arteries if needed? Statin just seems to prevent further, but I bert there is some blockage down there; difficult to get a listener. Docs wanna prescribe and get you out of office. One suggested implant, I'd rather be celibate.
Something she mentioned about they're not being enough studies on how the human body does with extended periods of low-level cortisol. Cortisol is a stress hormone. You need it to motivate you to get things that you need for survivability. It wakes you up in the morning, it drives you harder to find food when scarce, it drives you to protect your spouse and progeny and dangerous situation. However, it breaks down into oxidants in the bloodstream wish that carried through your body and may cause illness and premature aging and high quantities so I would say that you wouldn't need to eliminate cortisol but just to mitigate excessive amounts of it. If ashwagandha reduces your stress to healthy levels, it's better likely than not that having lower levels of cortisol can have long-term health benefits. The only way to know for sure is to try. Obviously, it should go without saying, stop taking it if you are experiencing negative effects, such as the supposed sedation in those mice she mentioned that were given high amounts.
@Maxima how long are those cycles?
Not 100% but seems like a month in and month off.
Have you reviewed MACA root? If you haven't can you, preferably all versions?
Dr. Rena, can you kindly speak on neem as well??
The problem with this 'supplement' is that is can have an impact on the thyroid hormones and moreover cortisol reduction is not always a good thing. Someone might be on the low end of normal and therefore reducing cortisol could cause problems. Likewise cortisol is pulsatile so in this respect timing can be key as well.
Aloha,
I've been into vitamins & herbs for many years. I just started getting into drinking beet power mixed with ginger & turmeric & bought some ashwaganda on the suggestion of someone I work with.
I'll start drinking my ashwaganda power mixed with lite apple juice & see how it goes.
I'll update this post in a few weeks.
😉🤙
Ok so what happened?
@@manzchello4752 seems to help. I prefer the beet powder over da ashwaganda.
Por que unos videos vienen traducidos al español y otros no...

Great herb I always got lot of benefits
You are the HOPE of my life.
God bless you on what you do always from Jeff
I'm diabetic type two and on blood thinners. Is there anything I can take that has similar effects without the side effects?
I have consistently drunk it in a tea form. I do find it best before bedtime. It helped me during recovery from surgeries from an auto accident. I think the biggest effect for me was it relaxed me and I was able to rest better...not sure about the sexual side of things.
I have a question, I would like a response, what is the period for which I take ashwagandha, is it harmful if I take it continuously, or should I stop for a while, and what is the duration of its use and the duration of the cessation, I hope for a response please😊
Wow Doc that outfit will make the patients happy!
Basically, inconclusive results for taking ashwaganda. Cool, I've been taking it for two years now. Will continue to take it.
Can you please tell me which product you are using and how to take it
Just a side note, I am certainly not anhedonic, my emotions are acute and I feel wonderful. It is worth noting that I do take St John’s wort as well so some of the effect can be from that. A few years ago I was on SSRI antidepressants and that made me completely anhedonic so ai can appreciate the huge difference.
I’m currently living in India most of the year and am taking ashwagandh, tongat ali and shilajit which are all available here at an affordable price.
I’ve found that this combination works for me
I take this, lecithin, CBD, and niacin for all the benefits plus last one for blood flow. Also many more vitamins, but haven’t seen a differenc, but do feel less stressed.
Friend, can you please tell me what dose of niacin to take and what is your experience, if you see improvements in the erection. thank you.
It actually reduced mine since recently consuming, it as a new supplement.
I took it consistently for about a month in a half and got gyno. I stopped taking it and the gyno went away after a couple weeks. Only going to take it in periods of high stress like you said.
Dr Malik I've had proton therapy radiation for prostate cancer. I've also had a urolift and I still have trouble urinating and get up at least 4 to 6 times a night. What else can I do. I've had Turbt my urologist has given me cystocopy no tumor but I'm miserable. Please respond
@len yes but took me off it
I take daily 5mg cialis
Which helps sometimes
Hi, Dr. Rena Malik, Can you send videos on how to reduce the PSA levels? mine is like 7.7
Great, what about GABA? Could you make a vídeo about this?
I have a question, I would like a response, what is the period for which I take ashwagandha, is it harmful if I take it continuously, or should I stop for a while, and what is the duration of its use and the duration of the cessation, I hope for a response please
Thanks!
How about Citrullin, Horse Chestnut and Yohimbe doc?
I gave my wife a dose a few hours before our "date" and OMG just that one time and VRROOM! This herb works.
Really? Boost your wife libido?
There is a product called Ignite.. is there any good feedback ? love to know..
Thanks beautiful.
Appreciate ❤️
I am going to try this for myself, going to buy a bottle of ashwagandha pills tomorrow. Wish me luck boys
How was it
Does help in calming you down but also diminishes all pleasures.
La ashwaganda SOLO es útil a personas con un estres severo. A gente con un grado normal de cortisona produce efectos indeseados al bajarla demasiado. El cortisol también lo necesita el cuerpo para funcionar, sólo que a niveles limitados.
Hi doctor, can you explain why some dopaminergic stimulants cause short term erectile dysfunction which is non responsive to medications like viagra. What is going on there?
I m sold, I will give ashwaghanda a second chance even though I find it a bad choice for reducing stress. I do use kratom and am a male, but it seems more effective for women in my experience.
The Wi-Fi to to the subscription box broke.
You still do personal checkups?
None of the products I’ve looked at for ashwaganhda list the 35%gly in them?
What about the use of it in athletic greens, people take it daily for months on end?
I grew up in polygamy family and my dad had 4 wives i have 15 siblings growing up my best memory was having lot of siblings it was fun. My mom was happiest she had sisters wives when they gave birth or need help other sister wives helped with kids. Its beneficial now a days specially in economic uncertainty familis can pool there resources together.
4 wives ! 😂
Watching this reminds me of an anatomy and physiology class I took and during the reproduction module it was brought up that in addition to the male selecting the xx/xy, that there was some research suggesting that the acidity or alkalinity of the vaginal environment also contributed to the selection of the xx/xy- is there any truth to that? or is there any recent science on predicting sex outcome?
