Dr. Elliot Justin is an Emergency Medicine specialist and health care technology consultant in urology, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. As an entrepreneur, he has originated and advised several health service, telemed and tech startups. His interest in regenerative medicine and his passion for regular playful lovemaking and its health benefits have inspired FirmTech, his latest venture promoting sexual wellness. Keenly interested in keeping men firm and fit for a lifetime of lovemaking, Justin began exploring aphrodisiacs in medical school in 1975. (Bad news, none of them work). More recently he researched neuro-modulation therapy for sexual dysfunction. Part of the study involved testing a pacemaker-like implant to help achieve erections in rams (and himself). Nicknamed “Project O,” the experiment ultimately failed, although it refuted published claims by urologists. His wife has nicknamed him “The Louis Pasteur of Human Sexuality” for his bold research and self-experimentation. Undeterred and focused on “sexcess,” Dr. Justin and his FirmTech team have developed a transformative tool to help men optimize personal “erectile fitness,” and to inspire better cardiovascular health. In 2014 he established Pegasus Liberty Foundation to fund research on the prevalence of slavery and efforts to rescue and rehabilitate slaves in India, Nepal and Burma. He also has served on the advisory board of the Freedom Fund. Passionate about history, economics and pre-20th century literature and art, Dr. Justin wrote the novel “The Chastity of Honor,” about the country’s first war against jihadis during the Jefferson presidency. Happily married for 33 years and the father of three adult children, Dr. Justin and his painter wife live in Montana with two energetic mares. He is a passionate trail rider who sometimes imagines, to his wife’s chagrin, that he’s a centaur. https://myfirmtech.com/

He is the co-author of The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America, the first book to name and bring awareness of the cultural rift in America, which has become a war. The Great Divide received national press coverage, including reviews in the New York Times, Newsweek, the Los Angeles Times, and a presentation to the National Press Club that was covered by C-SPAN. In 1995, Sam was hired to put together the strategy to legalize marijuana. The program was in part funded by George Soros. Sam’s focus groups and polls showed that the only way to “legalize” marijuana was to “medicalize” it first. Another funder, John Sperling, Founder of University of Phoenix, described it as a “genius” idea. It worked. A total of thirty-six states have approved medical marijuana and sixteen states have legalized marijuana. Sam now splits his time between writing and digital communication. He specializes in advocacy, marketing, and fundraising for nonprofits and corporations. He also leads an entirely online yoga company, YMEDICA, which educates yoga teachers on medical yoga.
