The ED Recovery Blueprint: Your 14-Day Journey to Better Vascular Health
The ED Recovery Blueprint is a structured, 14-day lifestyle plan designed to improve vascular health and erectile function by eliminating vascular stressors, incorporating supportive foods, and activating the circulatory system through daily exercise.
Erectile dysfunction is often a sign of underlying vascular health issues. This 14-day blueprint is your first step toward taking control. Affecting an estimated 52% of men between ages 40 and 70, ED is projected to impact 300 million men worldwide by 2025.
This guide provides a simple, science-backed, 3-rule protocol and a tracking log to help you gather personal data, identify positive patterns, and build a foundation for lasting improvement.
Important Medical Disclaimer
The information in this guide is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of serious underlying health conditions, including heart disease and diabetes. Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional for diagnosis and before making any significant changes to your diet, exercise, or health regimen.

Why This 14-Day Blueprint is Your Most Important First Step
This 14-day blueprint is your most important first step because the primary cause of most Erectile Dysfunction is poor blood flow, and this protocol provides a structured mission to collect personal data on how specific lifestyle choices impact your vascular health.
Vascular disease is the most common cause of ED, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). The “artery size hypothesis” explains that ED often serves as an early warning for heart disease because the penile arteries are smaller than coronary arteries, meaning blockages cause symptoms there first.
The Artery Size Hypothesis Visualized
The same amount of plaque has a much greater impact on the smaller penile artery, reducing blood flow and causing symptoms of ED sooner.
A targeted 14-day protocol → provides clear data on lifestyle impacts → empowering you to build a long-term strategy for vascular health.
The Foundational Protocol: Your 3 Daily Rules for the Next 14 Days
The foundational protocol of The ED Recovery Blueprint consists of three simple, non-negotiable daily rules for the next 14 days: completely eliminate vascular stressors, incorporate specific vascular support foods, and activate your vascular system with daily movement.
The 3 Pillars of Vascular Health
1. Eliminate Stressors
Remove foods that cause inflammation & endothelial dysfunction.
2. Incorporate Support
Add foods rich in nitrates & flavonoids to fuel Nitric Oxide.
3. Activate System
Use daily exercise to stimulate blood flow and NO production.

How to Track Your Progress: The 14-Day Action & Tracking Log
You will track your progress using the “14-Day Action & Tracking Log,” which serves as your daily “field report” to create a clear feedback loop between your actions and your outcomes.
The Erection Hardness Score (EHS) is a clinically validated, 4-point self-assessment scale used by urologists (1=Soft, 4=Fully Hard), providing an objective way to track rigidity (Source). The majority of testosterone production occurs during REM sleep, which is also when vital nocturnal erections occur.
Data shows a strong correlation between sleep duration and testosterone levels.
| Day | Rule 1 (Y/N) | Rule 2 (Y/N) | Rule 3 (Y/N) | Morning Score (1-4) | Best EHS (1-4) | Sleep (1-5) | Stress (1-10) |

Frequently Asked Questions
Glossary of Clinical Terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Vascular Health | The overall health of the circulatory system, including arteries, veins, and capillaries, which is responsible for blood flow. |
| Endothelial Dysfunction | A condition where the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels) is damaged and cannot function properly, leading to reduced production of Nitric Oxide. |
| Artery Size Hypothesis | The clinical concept that vascular disease symptoms appear in the smaller penile arteries (1-2 mm) before the larger coronary arteries (3-4 mm). |
| Nitric Oxide (NO) | The primary signaling molecule in the body that causes vasodilation (the relaxation and widening of blood vessels). |
| Erection Hardness Score (EHS) | A clinically validated, 4-point self-assessment scale used to measure the rigidity of an erection. |
