In this powerful episode of Gent’s Talk (E#157), presented by Depend, host @SamirMourani sits down with Dr. Gerald Brock, a leading expert in men’s health, to uncover the reasons of avoidance and the real cost of neglecting your health. From routine checkups to sensitive topics like incontinence and mental wellbeing, this conversation breaks the stigma and exposes what’s really at stake.
Too many men push through pain, brush off symptoms, and suffer in silence — not out of weakness, but because we've been conditioned to “tough it out.” This episode challenges that mindset and replaces it with something better: awareness, action, and long-term strength.
Topics Covered:
- Why men avoid doctors (and how to change that)
- The dangerous signs you should never ignore
- How culture and pride are hurting men’s health
