And I would say you can have all those conversations once their insulin is normal.

I have lots of women in childbearing years that are excessive producers of insulin.

And their vitamin D is low.

Their estrogen is low.

They have hair loss on the top of their head.

They have skin tags throughout their body.

Or maybe the first sign was they had PCOS.

Okay, all of these are a sign that insulin came in and it's too high in their body.

So lowering it has rules.

And if you want to have a baby, carry a baby, have the weight come off after you've gestated a baby, have weight not be your enemy during menopause, you have to be making ketones at a routine and regular interval.

And start with the food.

Start with the menus in the kitchen.

Don't run to the gym first.

Right.

Their hormones can hear each other.

I mean, when insulin is high, insulin dictates what that sugar does, but it also is the dictator for every morsel of fat.

And estrogen, testosterone, vitamin D, they're all a derivative of fat, of cholesterol.

And they're put into the fat cells.

If you biopsy an obese woman and say, can I see, is there any vitamin D hidden in there?

Is there any estrogen?
