The Erectile Fitness Vital Sign with Dr Elliot Justin

Send us Fan Mail

Your erections might be telling you more about your future than your smartwatch ever will. We sit down with Dr. Elliot Justin, an emergency medicine physician and serial healthcare entrepreneur, to talk about a topic most guys only bring up when something breaks: erectile fitness and what it can reveal about cardiovascular health.

Dr. Justin explains why nocturnal erections aren’t just “morning wood” jokes. He frames them as a measurable, trackable vital sign and a potential leading indicator of heart risk, especially when the number, duration, or firmness drops over time. We also dig into why sexual health has lagged behind other smart wearable tech, and how objective data can replace shame, guesswork, and vague definitions of erectile dysfunction.

We go deep on real-world use cases, including prostate cancer recovery after radical prostatectomy or radiation. Dr. Justin shares why many men regain nocturnal erections before they regain “sex erections,” and how tools like penis pumps and medications like tadalafil can be evaluated with trend data instead of hope. We also unpack the physiology of getting hard versus staying hard, arteries versus veins, and why a comfortable erection ring can work as both therapy and performance optimization.

If you want a practical, data-driven conversation about men’s sexual health, erectile dysfunction, and prevention-minded cardiovascular wellness, hit play. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
