Dr. Elizabeth Comen

So I had this back injury and I used to be like a crazy runner.

And now I do kettlebells and I strength train and I'm working on my pull-ups.

So I've definitely drank the Kool-Aid.

You can tell Vonda, right?

Absolutely.

I'm in on it.

I'm lifting heavy.

I don't need hormonal therapy now, but, you know, if I need it, I'll explore it.

I think there's also a sense of community, too, that women need real community, real connection.

And these this sort of idea that it's I don't know if you cover this in your philosophy, but that, you know, this sort of effort era that I'm looking forward to.

Well, here's the thing.

Here's what's great about your generation is you don't have to wait till menopause to do this.

Yeah.

Right.

I wish I had known that in my 20s, but I kind of am feeling it now.

And I'm grateful to be on the shoulders of incredible women like you who are teaching me now to set boundaries, now to kind of pursue what I want.

Leave that job and go find one that's going to serve you and your patients.

We don't have to wait that long, right?

We can start doing that work now and find our people and stop apologizing.

So I am really grateful for this narrative and for the women that have supported me and said, you know what?
