So I'm just hitting all my antioxidants, my anti-inflammatory, my fiber all in one. So omega-3s, if you can't get a good source of that, that's a very reasonable thing to supplement every day. One of the richest sources of that is gonna be your salmon, your mackerel, your tuna, your fatty fish, your cold water fish.

And then I check a vitamin D level on every woman who'll let me stick a needle in her. 80% of my patients, not just low, I mean deficient. And there's a million reasons for this. We don't absorb it very well because our gut health declines. We're protecting our skin from the sun, you know, which is another place. And we're not really creating it in our skin as fast as we used to.

So, and vitamin D is a hormone that has a million, you know, processes in the body. So I'm like, let's start here and get those vitamin D levels up because you're just not working as efficiently as you could. So again, about 70, 80% of my patients have an unexplained, no changes in diet or exercise, rise in cholesterol, absolutely secondary to estrogen deficiency.

And again, rushing to put her on a statin is not, will make her cholesterol go down, but is not going to decrease her risk of cardiovascular disease. And women who are on HRT have higher HDLs and lower LDLs than women who are not when you compare the two groups. So just being menopausal is an independent risk factor for an unhealthy cholesterol profile. So what kind of exercise is critical?

I grew up in the 80s, and I was the cardio queen. I did so many step aerobics classes. I taught them. It would make your head spin. I did not.

All of my exercise was to be thin. Yep. And to maintain a certain body shape. That was part of my social currency. And if I could go back and talk to my, what I tell my children all the time, we need to move our bodies to be strong, not skinny. Right.

And that we are chipping away this constant caloric restriction and all this cardio is chipping away at our bone and muscle strength, which we are going to desperately need as we age, especially if you're built like me. Yeah. And... I didn't pick up weights until I was well into my 40s. And there's never too late. Anybody listening at any age can start weight training. And you should.
