Embodiment As A Route to Empowerment And Agency with Marina Nabão

Are you looking to elevate your sexual health and wellness? ED, aka Erectile Dysfunction, can cause real struggles in relationships.  And, ED is not just a later in life problem. 30% of men at the age of 30 suffer from ED. This number increases 10% every decade of age after. If this issue affects your relationship, you’re in luck as today on the podcast I’m talking with Dr. Elliot Justin, MD, the CEO and Founder of FirmTech, the first sex tech company dedicated to improving men’s erectile fitness. He has a background in Emergency Medicine and healthcare technology consulting.  Happily married for 35 years, and father of three children, Elliot and his wife Ann live in Montana with three energetic mares and a flock of chickens. He is a passionate trail rider who sometimes imagines, to his wife’s chagrin, that he’s a centaur. Listen in to discover: ED Affects All Ages: ED isn't just an older guy problem; men of all ages can experience it, and it impacts both their mental and physical health, plus their relationships. Dr. Justin’s Journey: Dr. Justin’s story is inspiring—after a major accident, he got into sexual wellness and invented a smart cock ring that helps with ED and gives important health insights. Breaking the Stigma: We dive into why it's so important to talk openly about sexual health and work on breaking the taboo around ED. Root Causes Matter: Instead of just treating symptoms, we need to look at and address the root causes of ED for better long-term results. Non-Pharma Solutions: Firm Tech’s products offer a drug-free way to boost sexual performance and overall health, which is a game-changer for many. Relationship Tips: There’s practical advice on how partners can introduce these tech solutions into their relationships to enhance intimacy and sexual health.   Ready to “put a ring on it”?
