162: Erections Are Trying to Tell Us Something And We're Ignoring It with Dr. Elliot Justin

In this episode of Confessions of a Male Gynecologist, Dr. Shawn Tassone sits down with Dr. Elliot Justin, CEO of FirmTech, to break down a topic most men, women, and honestly, most doctors, aren't talking about enough: erectile fitness as a measurable, trackable marker of overall health.

We track our steps.
We track our sleep.
We track our calories.

So why aren't we tracking one of the clearest indicators of cardiovascular, neurological, and hormonal health?

This conversation dives into how cutting-edge technology is reshaping men's sexual wellness, not just for performance, but for prevention, longevity, and overall health optimization. From smart erection rings to neuromodulation, this episode challenges outdated thinking and introduces a data-driven future for men's health and intimacy.
