How crazy when you have this huge tool at your fingertips that you're not using it. And then you say, oh, let me give you a pill. What are we thinking? Your mind and your body are one. How could we think that they are separate?

Oh, you're so sweet. And by the way, I think the chronologic age just sucks as an idea. So, out the door.

Well, clearly not from medical school. And clearly not from medical education. I learned it because like everybody else, it had to happen to me. So while I was trained and I knew what I was doing and I ran a major trauma center as my first job at 28, which was unusual for a woman. Think about it. This was in the late 70s, early 80s. Women did not do jobs like this.

So I ran a big trauma center and then I went into private practice and I did internal medicine. and I was just kind of ping-ponging patients, and when I wasn't referring them to specialists, they would say to me, why aren't you referring this patient to specialists? And I'd be like, because I know how to take care of them, and why do I need a specialist if the patient's healthy?

So anyway, what happened when I turned 46, and I'm 74 now, that's why I said to you, age doesn't matter, really. I mean, chronologic age. So I was 46 and I went into menopause and I was treating women in menopause already with all kinds of garbage that we were trained to treat with that were kind of working, kind of not working anyway. So I started feeling not so good.

I started taking care of myself according to what I was trained and it wasn't working. And then one of my patients came in and showed me this prescription and said, why don't you order this at the compounding pharmacy, which I didn't even know what it was. So she said, just write it for me in California. So I wrote it.
