Memorable Quotes
“But when their sexual performance starts to decline, suddenly they’re willing to come in and seek help. And so, my emphasis, my priority, my focus when it comes to really shifting the men’s health paradigm is to get men to think about it very differently and to take a very proactive approach.” – Dr. Tracy Gapin
“So that is my big why. And everything I do revolves around that. And every decision I make, is it in alignment with my why. And if it’s not, then it doesn’t belong in my life because it doesn’t serve my higher purpose. And so, it helps me get grounded. It helps me really focus on my purpose and it helps drive me to do the hard things that you don’t want to do.” – Dr. Tracy Gapin
