Course Details
The primary objective of this program is to help practitioners gain a level of knowledge and confidence to offer Sexual Dysfunction Treatment to male and female patients in their practice. This is accomplished by providing in this training course comprehensive instruction in the overall approach, diagnosis, evaluation, and all the effective treatment modalities currently available for your patient.
Your instructors are Physicians who have been very successful with offering ED and FSD treatments in their own practice. Anne Roberts, MD, who continues to be a favorite instructor of Empire, will meticulously teach the details and finer points for you to properly offer this treatment. Dr. Roberts is a board certified internal medicine physician, Yale Graduate, and Residency trained from Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic. She is most notable for her dynamic lecture ability and her thoroughness in presenting information to our students that goes beyond the formal course study. Dr. Roberts also teaches the additional Bio-Identical Hormone Therapies and Anti Aging Courses offered at Empire.
Erectil Dysfunction in Men
We will review all pertinent anatomy, neural and venous pathways, drug interactions and psychological factors for men suffering from erectile dysfunction. During the course study you will understand the various factors in men experiencing erectile dysfunction including:
- Neurogenic
- Vasculogenic
- Endothelial dysfunction (up to 95%)
- Discrete lesions
- Venous leakage
- Failure of venule constriction
- Psychogenic
- Mixed (psychogenic & organic components)
- Iatrogenic
- Surgical Trauma
Patient history, testing and evaluation will allow you to identify and diagnose the condition and enable you to evaluate the various treatment options that can be administered safely. These protocols include clinical approach, integrative medical solutions, and mechanical options depending upon the diagnosis. Included with the course you will receive "standard of care" in regards to:
- Initial Treatments (i.e PDE 5 inhibitors)
- Alprostadil (PGE 1) Intracavernous injections or intraurethrally.

In addition, premature ejaculation, sex aids, and psychological evaluation including the partner are discussed and or treatment options given.
Protocols, intake forms, standardized testing, and alternative testing is presented and available for download. Extensive amount of time is spent on the safe administering of any of these solutions including contraindications, side effects, and possible complications.
Treating ED is no longer just for Urologists or other specialists. Learn the protocols that you can use to help the patients you currently have in your practice. With all the patients you have been referring, now is the time to start helping them yourself and retain the large income stream you have been diverting away from your practice.
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD):
Female sexual dysfunction affects more of the population than that of males. Only recently have we been able to effectively identify and give definition to the disorder. During the course study you will be able to evaluate the patient based upon the following criteria:
Testing, evaluation, and treatment options vary greatly based upon the presence of these symptoms which can be stand-alone or combined. Treating female sexual disorders require additional testing that can possible correlate deficiencies and/or other medical related issues such as drug interaction/sensitivities, psychological, or hormonal. An extensive amount of time is spent on determining the types of testing, typical results, and possible remedies to these disorders.
The objective of the training in relation to female sexual dysfunction is to be able to evaluate through histories, patient forms, consultation, and certain testing the possible and probable cause of her lack of sexual desire. Once diagnosed we offer the "standard of care" and protocols in treating these various symptoms through clinical approach, integrative approach, and in naturopathic solutions that can be utilized by themselves or in combination depending upon the patient.
The correlation of being overweight to heart disease, diabetes and other serious medical complications is well documented.
