#76: Is Erectile Dysfunction the Body’s Early Warning System? Dr. Elliot Justin Explains

Is It Time to Redefine Sexual Health? A Disruptive Conversation with Elliot Justin, MD



What if we told you that your sexual health is one of the most accurate indicators of your overall health—and that a wearable device might detect early signs of heart disease before your doctor does?

In this powerful episode of Beyond The Pills, we sit down with Dr. Justin, a pioneering physician, entrepreneur, and founder of FirmTech, a company on a mission to transform sexual wellness through science-backed technology. With over 25 years in emergency medicine, Dr. Justin has seen firsthand how overlooked signs in the bedroom can signal deeper issues in the body.

Now, he’s leveraging cutting-edge “underwearables” to do something unprecedented—track, enhance, and protect sexual health for both men and women, while empowering intimacy through data and design.

💡 Did you know?

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects over 30 million men in the U.S. alone.
  • Men with ED are up to 50% more likely to develop heart disease.
  • ED often appears 3–5 years before more serious cardiovascular issues emerge.
  • According to the Cleveland Clinic, 1 in 2 men over 40 has some form of ED—yet many go untreated.
  • Studies now show a direct link between sexual performance and metabolic health, making ED a window into future diabetes risk.

🔍 Inside the Episode:

  • What “erectile fitness” actually means—and why it matters far more than you think
  • The truth about cock rings (and the problem FirmTech’s patented TechRing solves)
  • How sexual health tech is advancing for women, including FirmTech’s new clitoral health monitor and RingMate vibrator
  • Success stories from users who’ve regained confidence, pleasure, and deeper connection in their relationships
  • The emotional, relational, and physiological benefits of tracking sexual health—not just for performance, but for prevention

Dr. Justin also breaks down the real story behind ED meds, the pros and cons of each, and why sextech might be a safer, smarter, and more sustainable solution.

Whether you’re a patient, practitioner, or just passionate about health innovation, this episode goes beyond symptoms and stigma to uncover the future of sexual wellness—powered by tech, empathy, and evidence.
