Men's Health Starts Here — with Gerald Quigley

Men's Health Starts Here — with Gerald Quigley

In this episode of Stars and Stories, MJ sits down with Gerald Quigley, Community Pharmacist and Accredited Herbalist, for an honest chat about men’s health—and why the hardest part is often taking that first step.

Gerald reminds us that while many men put off going to the doctor, it's usually not until something serious forces us to act. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Where do you start?

• Book a check-up
• Be honest about your sleep, diet, stress, and habits
• Write down a few things you’ve noticed
• Get some basic blood tests

Your health isn’t just about you—it’s about your future, your family, and your quality of life.

As Gerald says, “We all want to be around for our partners, our children. We want to grow old gracefully and be as fit as we can for as long as we can.”

Taking care of yourself starts with one decision. Make it today.
