How are you feeling?
So we have not kind of brought the experiential part of perimenopause onto the actual fundamental science behind it.
And that's where we are now is being willing to hear women when they say, I feel A, B, C, D, may not show up in a lab as a hormone malfunction or dysfunction.
It actually is experientially what the receptors to the hormones are experiencing, which gives them the symptom.
So we just have to listen more.
Imagine that, listening more.
Right.
So imagine that laundry list that you were talking about of sleep, of anxiety, of periods changing, of hot flashes nights.
That list is pretty hefty.
So imagine going through that list when you're in a doctor's office, but there's nothing on a lab to say, yeah, I understand what you're saying.
It's really all of the above.
I say that, you know, every woman who enters this midlife phase is really a moment for them to be more self-aware.
Self-aware in the sense that I'm actually going to pay attention to me.
Imagine that, right?
So pay attention to what's going on in my body because...
guess what, the story is going to be different for the next one beside you and thereafter.
And so that can come in the brain fog.
I would say even for me, my journey, it was brain fog.
So imagine this.
I'm a board-certified OBGYN, menopause expert, wrote a book, and my first symptom was that brain fog, that executive functioning, clarity, memory.
