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
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

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!
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...
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!!!!
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
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 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.
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.
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😊
@@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.
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.
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.
I hit 34 years old and I was never in bad shape. I didn't change anything within my diet or normal workout routine when I started taking AWG. I gained 7 pounds of muscle, got abs for the first time in 20 years, and gained confidence beyond belief. It is for real.
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.

What I can tell you about Ashwaganda is that “IT WORKS WELL, I’ve been taking it since I was 25 y/o, (I’m now 63 y/o, in Central America, I have six kids, through the years… my erections are GREAT, even in my actual age, no sexual problems at all. You see… in Hispanic Countries we still use a lot of Natural Medicine and ALL of them (taking it cautiously), are WONDERFUL. And Ashwaganda is one of many, many curative herbs we use. No secondary effects, no damage to any organ in my organism and my sex drive to know is like when I was in my 20’s… This is my Testimony about Ashwaganda. Besides other herbs use to maintain my healthiness.
interesting, i think the usual thought is that atleast in high and constant usage could cause liver damage. Do you take it every day? or perhaps 2 or 3 times a week? what dosage have you used? do you take breaks from it time to time etc? thanks
@@wread1982 No, in all this years I haven’t gain a lot of weight, when I was in my late twenties, I just to weight 155 Lb. I’m right now 63 and my weight is 178, but that gain I could guess because the age… no the herb 🪴.
@@the1burf As a kid I was diagnosed ADHD, in adult life many other things, Had the kitchen sink thrown at me, nothing worked. Had a sleep study done in my late 30's), got a cpap almost cried at how much better it made me feel to just sleep properly. Wondering if it's common because I haven't met many people who have actually been helped by psychiatric medications.
I had a sleep study about 6 months ago because I snore worse than a freight train, but only when my head is turned to the right side. The sleep study said that I had very mild sleep apnea, and the doctor was convinced that I had a problem with my nose. He sent me to an ENT specialist who determined that I had a very severe deviated septum. I am having surgery to correct it in July.
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 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.
Be very careful! I asked my doctor if i could take it got told yes, my thyroid gone mad , got to the point I couldn’t even breathe, I ended up in hospital and got told I could have died, even after stopping taking it , it took me ages to get back normal, be very careful!!!
I take ashwaganda in the morning for it's enhanced cognitive function benefits. I reduced the amount of modafinil I take throughout the day and significantly reduces my excessive daytime sleepiness
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
@@mondoahmd8088 I've been taking it Mon-Sat every morning. I usually don't take it Sunday because I am not as active Sundays. I can't tell you how to take it for the best results. Everyone is different. I suggest that you try it yourself and go with whatever dosages and durations work for you. I haven't had any negative side effects from ashwaganda. Hopefully you won't either
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.
I've taken this in powder form and liquid drops. It definitely helps with reliving stress, more relaxed. Not sure about helping me with Erections,took it every day for 5 months
I’m a hypnotherapist and I’ve noticed that sexual disfunction in healthy males more often than not is related to intimacy issues. If a client has been hurt in romantic relationships it can affect lots of things including ED.

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
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.
In south India it has been used for ages along with asparagus racemosus. Aswagantha won't suit pitha type bodies so taking it along with asparagus neutralises the heat creating effect.
Everyone talks about "erectile dysfunction" and "premature ejaculation", but I never hear or see anyone talking about what causes us guys to take forever (I have gone up to 9 hours before ejaculating before) to ejaculate or the inability to ejaculate. So much information about ED and PE, but not the opposite. Why is that?
I don't think it's recognized as a serious enough problem though is quite serious if you're afflicted. Wow, nine hours! Has to be some kind of record, my arm would fall off after four hours.
Taken from Wikipedia: The plant, particularly its root powder, has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine. Although used in herbalism and sold as a dietary supplement, there is insufficient scientific evidence that it is safe or effective for treating any health condition or disease
One thing that is correct. It does help out with stress, inflammation depression ect.. I take just enough after my strongman workouts. As for increasing testosterone..no increase on my end. Might be different for others.
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
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.

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've heard that Ashwagandha is a glutamine inhibitor, which is useful in cases of cancer, where the tumour is dependent on glutamine as its fuel source. The other fuel source is glucose so it's worth knowing about these two fuel sources. For the record, green tea is also a glutamine inhibitor and Dr Thomas Seyfried has discovered that glutamine and glucose are the only two known cancer fuel sources.
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.
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
----- 222--- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes.
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.
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 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

@@the1burf As a kid I was diagnosed ADHD, in adult life many other things, Had the kitchen sink thrown at me, nothing worked. Had a sleep study done in my late 30's), got a cpap almost cried at how much better it made me feel to just sleep properly. Wondering if it's common because I haven't met many people who have actually been helped by psychiatric medications.
I had a sleep study about 6 months ago because I snore worse than a freight train, but only when my head is turned to the right side. The sleep study said that I had very mild sleep apnea, and the doctor was convinced that I had a problem with my nose. He sent me to an ENT specialist who determined that I had a very severe deviated septum. I am having surgery to correct it in July.
@@the1burfYou have a little too much fun back in the day yeah? Well hope the surgery helps ya.
I have taken it in the past, I need more .
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
Which one is more beneficial for older men? 65 and older? For sexual health and performance? Maca root, or Ashwagandha? Thank you kindly. :)
What’s better Ashwagangda or Maca Root?
Better for what? Ash better for calming. Maca better for energy, erections. Boost test? Neither, use tangkat ali.
I drink a tea that also has elderberry in it
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 ! 😂
soooo.... exactly what has this to do with ashwaganda?
Mine is sky high already 💪. And SD is off the roof.
What are you saying is sky high?, did ashwagandha benefit you?
@@capster728 no. I'm 27 year old. My SD is naturally high due to my life style but most importantly "genetics"
Be very careful! I asked my doctor if i could take it got told yes, my thyroid gone mad , got to the point I couldn’t even breathe, I ended up in hospital and got told I could have died, even after stopping taking it , it took me ages to get back normal, be very careful!!!
I'm diabetic type two and on blood thinners. Is there anything I can take that has similar effects without the side effects?
I take ashwaganda in the morning for it's enhanced cognitive function benefits. I reduced the amount of modafinil I take throughout the day and significantly reduces my excessive daytime sleepiness
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
@@mondoahmd8088 I've been taking it Mon-Sat every morning. I usually don't take it Sunday because I am not as active Sundays.
I can't tell you how to take it for the best results. Everyone is different. I suggest that you try it yourself and go with whatever dosages and durations work for you.
I haven't had any negative side effects from ashwaganda. Hopefully you won't either
Day without Ashwagandha for me is day full of depression, irritation and anxiety
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
I've taken this in powder form and liquid drops. It definitely helps with reliving stress, more relaxed. Not sure about helping me with Erections,took it every day for 5 months
I’m a hypnotherapist and I’ve noticed that sexual disfunction in healthy males more often than not is related to intimacy issues. If a client has been hurt in romantic relationships it can affect lots of things including ED.
@@HerveBoisde This explains a lot.
Anything that reduces stress helps with erections.
Especially best when the one you want an erection for?
Isn't stressing you out. LOL

If you identify as a man but are a woman does it still help with erection post op?
Dr. Rena, what is in your opinion the best exercise or way to loose belly fat for men in their 60s. Thank you.
Is it also contraindicated in case of Hashimoto's thyroditis???
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

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.
In south India it has been used for ages along with asparagus racemosus. Aswagantha won't suit pitha type bodies so taking it along with asparagus neutralises the heat creating effect.
Everyone talks about "erectile dysfunction" and "premature ejaculation", but I never hear or see anyone talking about what causes us guys to take forever (I have gone up to 9 hours before ejaculating before) to ejaculate or the inability to ejaculate. So much information about ED and PE, but not the opposite. Why is that?
I don't think it's recognized as a serious enough problem though is quite serious if you're afflicted. Wow, nine hours! Has to be some kind of record, my arm would fall off after four hours.
You might want to see a doctor
@@MikeNaples , I wasn't talking about spanking the monkey, I was talking about screwing.
@@MikeNaples 😂😂😂😂
Stressubation
You are the HOPE of my life.
Does help in calming you down but also diminishes all pleasures.
Taken from Wikipedia: The plant, particularly its root powder, has been used for centuries in traditional Indian medicine. Although used in herbalism and sold as a dietary supplement, there is insufficient scientific evidence that it is safe or effective for treating any health condition or disease
Wikipedia 😂😂😂😂
@@robiehiggins Do you have another source?
Until pharma finds a way to make ash profitable you won’t see any studies on its benefits, once it becomes profitable then the studies will emerge :)
It actually reduced mine since recently consuming, it as a new supplement.
@RenaMalikM.D. What is your opinion on a tea that has Ashwaganda in it? Does have any benefits or side effects?
Hi! I love your videos...i have a question: can I use this herb with ACE inhibitors? Thank you
The Wi-Fi to to the subscription box broke.
You still do personal checkups?
Great video and information. Something I'll pass on for sure. Sounds like it causes more harm than good.
One thing that is correct. It does help out with stress, inflammation depression ect.. I take just enough after my strongman workouts. As for increasing testosterone..no increase on my end. Might be different for others.
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
Where can I get it send all the details
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.

With respect, how does a laboratory study determine whether or not a mouse is feeling stressed!!?? Do they interview the mice??
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?
what is your opinion on Mimic-V chewable for male performance?
YOUR HUSBAND IS SO LUCKY RENA

I've heard that Ashwagandha is a glutamine inhibitor, which is useful in cases of cancer, where the tumour is dependent on glutamine as its fuel source. The other fuel source is glucose so it's worth knowing about these two fuel sources. For the record, green tea is also a glutamine inhibitor and Dr Thomas Seyfried has discovered that glutamine and glucose are the only two known cancer fuel sources.
Most of the ayurveda doctor do not recommend this in auto immune diseases
@@irshadhussain2856 would that include people with parkinsons?
@@colincarter7086 may be but Parkinson's disease direct relate to brain cells, and it has good effect on brain cells
What about for CLL
Por que unos videos vienen traducidos al español y otros no...
Saludos..
I tried Ashwagandha as well as Shilajit and surprisingly my body doesn't react well to either of those
Is Shilajit any better
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.
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?
Yea its for real. I know from my own use of it. Before ever seeing any videos about it.
----- 222--- I took ashwaganda for a long time, 3..4 days per week. I liked the effect on psychology and regulation of sex drive. However, and that's a big one: It caused inflammation of the liver, AST got as high as 40. When I took it off, all other things roughly the same, AST returned to 28 after 8 months. So, if you start taking it, observe your liver enzymes.
Whata AST? And how much were you taking????
Maca root powder & pomegranate juice 😉
Which blood pressure meds might it interact with?
ANy place where we could get a good quality of ashwaganda ?
I could listen you you all day and not get bored. I feel very engaged in listening to your info.
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.
