    Erectile Dysfunction Is A Warning Sign: Men’s Health Truths With Elliot Justin | Raw Minds S2 Ep.66
    2025/12/19
    Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.Tonight I sit down with Elliot Justin, an emergency physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and innovator who has spent over 25 years working at the intersection of men’s health, technology, and real world medicine.Elliot is the co founder of FirmTech, the company behind the TechRing, an FDA registered wearable designed to objectively measure nocturnal erections, which are a critical early indicator of men’s sexual health, cardiovascular health, hormone balance, and overall male wellbeing.This conversation goes far beyond sex.We talk about why erectile dysfunction is often an early warning sign, not the problem itself. ED can signal deeper issues like heart disease, poor circulation, hormonal imbalance, mental health struggles, chronic stress, trauma, sleep disorders, and lifestyle collapse.Most men are told to pop a pill and move on.This episode explains why that mindset is dangerous.Elliot breaks down how data driven health tools are changing the way men understand their bodies instead of guessing, masking symptoms, or avoiding the conversation altogether. He shares insights from analyzing over 100,000 documented erections, and why objective data helps men catch problems before they turn into life altering health events.This episode is about:men’s mental healtherectile dysfunction explained honestlysexual health and male identityperformance anxiety and shameheart health and ED connectionwearable health technologypreventative healthcare for mentaking responsibility before it’s too lateThis is not a gimmick episode.It’s a real conversation about men, truth, health, and accountability.If you’re serious about understanding your sexual health, heart health, and overall male performance, check out FirmTech and the TechRing.The TechRing is an FDA registered wearable that gives you real data, not guesses, about what’s happening in your body while you sleep.

    CTE Almost Killed Him Hyperbaric Therapy Saved His Life | Raw Minds S2 EP65
    2025/12/12
    Welcome back to Raw Minds. I’m your host Erick.Tonight I sit down with William Person, a former nine-year Team USA Bobsled athlete who pushed his body and brain to the absolute limit — and paid the price in ways most people never see.After years of extreme impacts and head trauma, William began experiencing CTE-like symptoms that slowly destroyed his memory, emotional control, and sense of self. At his lowest point, he could barely get up off the floor. He lived in confusion, depression, intense headaches, and a deteriorating brain that doctors struggled to explain.Like so many men, he tried to push through it in silence.Then everything changed.William discovered Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, and for the first time in years, his mind began to come back online. His thinking cleared. His vision sharpened. His emotions stabilized. And his life — which he thought was slipping away — returned with purpose.Today, William is on a mission to raise awareness around brain injuries, CTE, men’s mental health, and untreated trauma in athletes, military veterans, and civilians. He is working to open a nonprofit CTE Recovery Center where people battling brain injury symptoms can receive treatment at no cost.This episode is about survival, healing, and doing something meaningful with the pain you’ve lived through.If you or someone you love has experienced personality changes, memory loss, rage, depression, or unexplained mental decline, this conversation may answer questions you’ve been carrying for years.CTE and brain injury explainedLife as a Team USA bobsled athleteExtreme head trauma and long-term damageMemory loss and identity collapseDepression and silent sufferingHyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)Healing the brain instead of masking symptomsMen’s mental health and accountabilityVeterans, athletes, and untreated traumaBuilding a nonprofit CTE Recovery CenterHelping families recognize warning signsTurning pain into purposeThis is not a soft conversation.It’s real.

Clean through grit, grace, mindset, and God. He helps men rebuild their lives after addiction, trauma, violence, and self-destruction.

  • The Time Master’s Truth: From Olympic Glory to Rock Bottom John K. Coyle | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60

    The Time Master’s Truth: From Olympic Glory to Rock Bottom John K. Coyle | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60
    2025/10/31

    Raw Minds S2 Ep. 60 – Erick sits down with Olympic silver medalist and Emmy Award winner John K. Coyle for one of the deepest conversations ever recorded on the show. This episode is a raw exploration of identity loss, ego death, trauma, fatherhood, grief, and how to slow time when life speeds out of control.

    John opens up about:

    • What it felt like to lose his Olympic dream — twice

    • The dark decade that followed

    • How he clawed his way back and rebuilt everything

    • His journey into neuroscience, resilience, and the psychology of time

    • The moment he realized helping others meant more than a gold medal

    • Why physical touch, movement, and real friends are critical for men's mental health

    • And the brutal truth: “You can't have agency while you're in overwhelm.”

    Erick gets deeply personal in this one, too — sharing his own battles, grief journey, and why Raw Minds was built from loss.

    This episode is for every man (and woman) who’s ever asked:
    “Who am I without that identity?”
    “Am I still worth something if I fail?”
    “How the hell do I move forward when I’m stuck in the dark?”

    You are not alone. Keep showing up.
