If you’ve received the P-Shot or are considering it, you’re probably excited about the benefits: improved erectile function, increased sensation, better circulation, and enhanced performance. But once the treatment is done, what next? While the P-Shot delivers significant results, what you do afterward plays a major role in how strong and long-lasting those benefits are.

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we don’t just administer the P-Shot — we support you through your entire wellness journey. From lifestyle strategies to complementary therapies, there are several ways to help you get the most from your treatment. In this article, we explore how to boost and maintain your P-Shot results with practical tips that fit easily into your routine.

Use a vacuum erection device (penis pump)

One of the most effective tools for enhancing your P-Shot results is a vacuum erection device, often called a penis pump. Using a pump for 5 to 10 minutes a few times a day helps increase blood flow, which is essential for promoting tissue regeneration and optimizing the effects of the platelet-rich plasma injected during the P-Shot.

The pump gently stretches the penile tissue, encouraging new growth of blood vessels and collagen. This is especially beneficial in the weeks following your P-Shot, when healing and regeneration are actively taking place. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we often recommend pump use as part of your recovery and enhancement plan.

Follow a healthy, balanced diet

What you eat has a direct impact on your vascular health, hormone levels, and sexual performance. To maintain the benefits of your P-Shot, focus on a diet that supports strong circulation and reduces inflammation.
Include the following in your diet:

• Leafy greens (rich in nitrates for blood flow)
• Berries (high in antioxidants)
• Fatty fish (omega-3s for cardiovascular health)
• Nuts and seeds (support testosterone and nitric oxide production)
• Whole grains (help stabilize blood sugar and improve stamina)

What you don’t eat is just as important. You must avoid processed foods, excess sugar, and trans fats, all of which can impair circulation and lower testosterone.

Prioritize regular exercise

Exercise is one of the most powerful ways to maintain and amplify your P-Shot results. Regular physical activity, especially cardiovascular exercise, improves blood flow, supports healthy hormone levels, and reduces stress — all crucial factors for sexual wellness.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week. To maximize the benefits, try a mix of aerobic workouts (like walking, cycling, or swimming) and strength training. Kegels can also help by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which play a key role in erectile function.

Manage stress and mental health

Stress, anxiety, and poor mental health can significantly affect your sexual performance and blunt the results of treatments like the P-Shot. Elevated cortisol levels, which result from chronic stress, can interfere with testosterone production and blood flow.

To combat this, develop habits that lower stress naturally:

• Practice mindfulness or meditation
• Try deep breathing exercises
• Maintain social connections
• Get adequate sleep each night
• Consider therapy if anxiety or performance concerns are affecting your confidence

At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we understand the mind-body connection and can guide you toward holistic solutions to support both mental and sexual health.

Get quality sleep every night

Your body regenerates during sleep — and that includes the healing and restorative processes that make your P-Shot more effective. Poor sleep is linked to lower testosterone levels, reduced libido, and increased fatigue.

Strive for 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep per night. Keep a consistent bedtime routine, limit screen time before bed, and create a dark, cool, quiet sleeping environment. If you struggle with sleep, let your Genesis Lifestyle Medicine provider know — we can help address underlying issues like sleep apnea or hormonal imbalances.

Stay hydrated

Hydration may seem like a small detail, but it plays a big role in vascular health and overall energy. Your blood is mostly water, and staying hydrated ensures that nutrients, oxygen, and hormones are efficiently delivered to your tissues. Drink at least 8 cups (about 2 liters) of water daily, and more if you're active or in a warm climate.

Consider maintenance treatments

While the P-Shot provides long-lasting benefits, these can fade over time due to aging, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions. Many men benefit from maintenance treatments every 12 to 18 months to preserve their results.

Depending on your goals, our team at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine may recommend a repeat P-Shot or complementary therapies like GAINSWave® or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) to further enhance your performance. We work closely with you to create a personalized plan.

Avoid smoking and limit alcohol

Smoking and excessive alcohol intake are two of the most damaging habits for sexual health. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and reduces blood flow, while alcohol can interfere with hormone production and nerve function.

To preserve your P-Shot results:

• Quit smoking or use nicotine cessation aids
• Limit alcohol to moderate levels (no more than two drinks/day)
• Avoid recreational drug use

Schedule routine checkups

Ongoing communication with your provider is essential to track progress, monitor hormone levels, and adapt your wellness plan as needed. Routine checkups allow us to fine-tune your treatment strategy and ensure you're seeing continued improvement. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we’re with you every step of the way — not just for your treatment, but for the full journey toward renewed vitality.

Maximizing your P-Shot results is about more than just the injection — it’s about how you live, move, eat, and care for your body afterward. By incorporating these strategies, you can extend and enhance the benefits of the P-Shot naturally and effectively. At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, we help you reach your goals and feel your best every day. Schedule your consultation today and take the next step toward lasting sexual wellness.
