“Yes, low libido is real. No, it doesn’t have to only be due to [your] partner. No, it’s not [your] fault. And yes, there are things that we can do to try to help get you on that journey of improving your status.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
Notable Quotes:
“It (low libido) is not your fault. It’s not your partner’s fault. It just kind of happens.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“You need professional help [to] get that back in line because there is no solution to your low libido if we don’t treat the [underlying] problem. I don’t want to tell you that there’s a magical pill that you can take and then your libido’s great, especially when I think about my men…There isn’t a magical pill that I can give you and boom—your low libido is up…It’s a matter of identifying what’s the problem when dealing with this low libido—what’s the real issue and then hitting it on head first.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
“This (low libido) used to be an old person thing. This used to be a thing that we would expect some years to go by before you start experiencing it. But that’s no longer the case. A lot of young people—my 20s and my 30s—are experiencing these same issues [and] these same effects.” – Dr. Berry Pierre
