Conversation Series | Lifestyle Factors and Erectile Dysfunction with Melissa Hadley Barrett

In the third episode of our Conversation Series, Sexologist and Nurse Practitioner, Melissa Hadley Barrett reveals the surprising lifestyle factors that significantly impact men’s sexual health. 

Melissa explains why smoking is “the biggest penis killer,” how excess weight blocks blood flow, and reveals that for every 16kg a man gains, he can lose up to 2cm of penile length. 

Most importantly, she reveals how erectile dysfunction can be the “canary down the mine shaft” – an early indicator of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, often appearing years before a heart attack.
