Let's go.
You know what, the more kids you have, the harder the pregnancies become. Because if you got pregnant now and you had to run it after you're older. Well, now I'm 58, that'd be hard for that reason.
Because I'd go like... Helen of Troy, basically.
So Hallie, I'm so curious because this is something me and my friends talk about a lot that we know like all of our mothers went through menopause, but they've never discussed it with us, right? Like they've never said anything to, is this like an African mother thing? No, just all of the, all my girlfriends, black, white, we're always like, you know, we're like, when are, you know, perimenopause?
We have lots of questions because we're like, a lot of us are going into perimenopause now, right?
Perimenopause is a period before menopause, which is chaotic and very difficult for women. And you have like memory loss and anxiety and you-
But like most women don't actually know what perimenopause is, right? And it's bad. debilitating. And me and my friends of all backgrounds, we talk about the fact that our mothers and grandmothers and great grandmothers must have gone through this. They haven't given us this guidebook. Do they even have the language for what they went through?
And I'm curious how you came to it and were like, I'm going to use this as transformation because from my perspective and from our friends, it's just something that's shrouded in shame. Like it's a conversation we still haven't even had with our own mothers. And you're like out here really publicly claiming it.
Because not everyone's heard it, and it's important to them.
And you've given birth without drugs, by the way.
And this is like your primary care doctor had no idea? No. No.
And not telling you how to prepare for it. Or that it was even coming.
But the thing is, they know our periods cease at a point. Like, I would accept that. Like, as a reason, yeah, there's something you don't know. But this is not unknowable. We know that women, at a certain point, if you live long enough, you'll probably stop menstruating. And the period before that can be difficult. Well, doctors should know that, I guess.
Well, the suicide rate goes up for menopausal women.
50%.
I'm so curious because women aren't necessarily talking to other women about this and don't have the resources themselves. Doctors don't seem to know. Where does a woman go who's like perimenopausal or menopausal and is trying to figure out what is going on and who can help me?
And that's something I actually wanted to ask you about because the older women who do speak about it with me are so terrified of hormone replacement therapy. Yes, because of that study. Yeah, and I say, well, the study's been debunked. And you can go on Instagram and see in the comments section, there's a big pharma trying to kill us. Wow.
No, but, you know, because it's like breast cancer is a thing that does increase with age and people are terrified to get breast cancer.
So there are women suffering right now who maybe are good candidates for HRT.
Curious, like... Drinking bone broth, collagen supplements, would that help?
