This "overlooked aging crisis" isn't just about a broken bone; it's often the starting point for a decline in health, confidence, and independence. According to Dr. Alan Rozanski, a distinguished professor of medicine, the solution isn't a new drug or a complex medical procedure. It's a proactive, powerful strategy he calls "muscle care." The Real Reason We Fall The primary driver behind this crisis is a natural process that we've accepted for too...

The Quest for Harmony Born amid the chaos of World War II, Udo Erasmus's journey began with trauma and survival. Fleeing Poland as a child, dodging bullets and bombs, he experienced fear, hunger, and deep mistrust in the world. By age six, he was already wondering, "There must be a way people can live in harmony." That question became the compass of his life. As Erasmus grew, so did his search for answers. He studied science, biology, psychology, and medicine, only to find these disciplines offered fragmented insights—not the holistic understanding he craved. Psychology taught thoughts and...

In the wellness world, many chase surface-level fixes, like creams, cleanses, and crash diets, while ignoring the internal systems that actually drive energy, detoxification, and glow. Cathy Goldstein, a holistic practitioner with over 40 years of experience, sees the body differently. She believes the real fix lies in supporting two overlooked systems: fascia and lymph. Cathy describes most people as walking around with a “traffic jam of toxins.” This buildup in the fascia and lymphatic system can lead to puffiness, swelling, fatigue, dull skin, and even emotional heaviness. Fascia is...

In today’s world, many people struggle with weight gain, a slow metabolism, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle, despite healthy diets and exercise. Health expert Sarah Banta says the cause is often in thyroid and liver health.

The high-tech world of biohacking often focuses on physical factors for longevity, like supplements and cold plunges. However, author and biohacker Tony Wrighton suggests that mindset plays a more significant role. Drawing from his experience in behavior change and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Tony reveals that our beliefs about aging may impact lifespan more than diet or exercise. A Yale University study supports this idea, showing that individuals with a negative mindset towards aging live 7.5 years shorter than those with a positive outlook. This effect is more detrimental than...

info_outlineThe Innovation Journey
Elliot Justin, an emergency physician, was inspired to explore sexual health and rehabilitation techniques following a horseback riding accident in 2015. He experimented with neuromodulation and other methods to address gaps in existing tools and treatments, which led to advancements in intimacy wearables.
The Link Between Sexual and Cardiovascular Health
Research indicates a strong connection between sexual and cardiovascular health: Men who experience fewer than one nocturnal erection per night have a 50% chance of having a heart attack within two years. Additionally, 88% of men who suffer strokes report experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED) in the three months before the stroke. The medical field often treats the symptoms of ED instead of addressing underlying cardiovascular or systemic health issues.
Modernizing the Cock Ring
Traditional cock rings are often stigmatized and uncomfortable. To address these issues, Elliot Justin developed a modernized version that is comfortable even when flaccid. This device increases erection hardness, duration, and orgasm intensity. Clinical studies have shown that this device is comparable to Cialis in maintaining erections while enhancing orgasm quality.
Tech Ring and Data-Driven Approach
The tech ring collects and analyzes sexual health data. This includes tracking frequency, duration, and quality of nocturnal erections, as well as monitoring performance during intercourse. It provides personalized insights to assess the impact of treatments. The data is anonymized, securely stored, and HIPAA-compliant to ensure user confidentiality.
