Most men are getting the wrong diagnosis.
Not because their doctor is incompetent.
Because the tools to get the right one haven't existed — until now.
In this episode I sit down with Dr. Elliot Justin — Emergency Medicine physician, Harvard and Boston University educated, serial healthcare entrepreneur, and founder of FirmTech — for a conversation that is going to change how you think about your body, your health, and what your erections are actually telling you.
Here's the reality most men don't know:
A man walks into a cardiologist with chest pain. He gets an EKG. Ultrasound. Bloodwork. A full picture of what's happening inside his cardiovascular system.
A man walks into a doctor with erectile symptoms.
He gets a pill.
No data. No investigation. No curiosity about what's actually going on.
That is a massive problem. Because erections aren't just about sex.
👉 They are one of the most accurate windows into a man's cardiovascular health available.
The frequency of your erections. The firmness. What's happening while you sleep. These are vital signs. And most men — and most doctors — are completely ignoring them.
Dr. Justin built FirmTech to change that.
FirmTech's TechRing is a wearable device that tracks nocturnal erections — the automatic erections men have while sleeping — measuring frequency, duration, and firmness. To date FirmTech has tracked over a quarter million erectile events, building a dataset that is reshaping how we understand men's sexual and cardiovascular health.
And what that data is revealing is this:
A lot of men who think they have erectile dysfunction — don't.
Their nighttime erections are healthy. Which means the issue isn't physical. It's psychological. Relational. Situational. Something that pills will never fix — and that no one ever bothered to investigate.
In this conversation we explore:
- Why erections are one of the most important cardiovascular vital signs a man has
- The difference between erectile dysfunction and erectile disappointment — and why that distinction changes everything
- Why the virility industry is worth billions and still leaving most men without real answers
- What nocturnal erection data actually reveals about blood flow, vascular health, and overall wellbeing
- How FirmTech's TechRing works and what men are discovering about themselves
- Why so many men are treating a psychological or relational issue with a physical solution
- What a real standard of care for men's sexual health should actually look like
- Why the data says this is not just an older man's issue
This episode isn't just for men experiencing symptoms.
It's for every man who wants to understand what his body is already trying to tell him.
Because your erections aren't just about pleasure.
They're about whether your heart is going to keep beating.
