Number one, they're acknowledging that as you are aging, you are more susceptible to these things.

But it's also acknowledging that we just have an immune system as women that is more provoked in women.

women are four to five times more likely to develop autoimmune conditions in middle age.

So things like celiac, rheumatoid, Hashimoto's.

When I finished my medical training, I was talking to a colleague recently.

I said, well, were there like 20, 30 diagnoses?

That's what we knew of.

Now there's over 100, including things like long-haul COVID and chronic Lyme.

So autoimmune conditions in women will start seeing an uptick.

And I remind women all the time that once you have one autoimmune condition, you're likely to have more.

And so the immune system is there to protect us.

We have kind of a basic immune system.

You know, the barriers like cilia in our nose, our skin is designed to be a barrier.

And then there's a more targeted immune system that develops antibodies is more sophisticated.

Both of them start to change as we are navigating this decline in hormones.

Women may see things like the autoimmune condition, leaky gut, as their microbiome and their vaginal, they may have more urinary tract infections.

They may have painful sex, pelvic floor issues.

They may be getting up at night more often to pee.

Not a fun thing.

That can also happen to men, but obviously it can be from an enlarged prostate.
