Yes, there are symptoms that we've discussed over and over again now, but also longevity.
What does it do for preventing chronic disease?
What does it do for brain health or bone health later on in life?
Those are the conversations that we really should have focused on when looking at the benefit of hormone therapy.
I think a lot of women...
That was one of the things that the WHI did get wrong in the study because the ideal fundamental of the study was cardiovascular risk.
And what can we do to decrease cardiovascular risk as heart disease is the number one killer of women.
So that, you know,
When we're looking at a study, we're like, this is good.
We're going to look at something that has great outcome.
Unfortunately, who they used hormone therapy in in the study were not the best.
And we're talking about good, better, best of who we should have been using.
These were women who were on the average older than menopausal age.
So they were way in their elder 50s into 60s.
Smokers, people who had history of heart disease.
So again, that's not ideally who you want to start hormone therapy in.
Who you do want to, for anyone who's listening, is in that late perimenopause into early menopause transition, which could mean if you wanted to put a tag on it on the age, maybe 45 through 55.
And that is when we start to see the flux in hormones and perimenopause, you're still having your cycle into that early timeframe, probably within the first five to 10 years of not having a cycle is the ideal time.
Do you want to know why?
I think you want to know why.
