I would say hormone in the sense of thyroid. Thyroid is that, but also going back to our lifestyle factors. What are some environmental factors? Are you taking maybe medications that are contributing to hair? What foods are you eating? And are you stressed?
Yeah.
I think that there are products that actually work. So for example, minoxidil. Minoxidil is an actual medication that's used for hair growth and helping in that hair cycle and maximizing the hair cycle, but also creating vasodilation, which just means opening the vessels and allowing the blood to flow to that area more. So it does work.
The caveat to that is when you're not using it, then it can't do the thing that it's going to do. So you may have some hair changes or hair growth cycle changes when you stop the drug.
I think hormonal health represents who we are as women. And the more that we vilify it or kind of fight against it, then that's not ultimately helping who we can be in our best version of ourselves. And so this transition really should be embraced and it really can herald the change in who we think of ourselves in identity, in relationships, in our power, in our advocacy for ourselves.
And so I don't want you to leave yourself behind. You should never leave yourself behind and bring yourself into this transition with your hormones in a way that it can be beautifully constructed to be the best version of yourself.
I would say that the recreation of yourself requires that inner look into having self-care and self-love because we all deserve it.
And so as you go through transitions in your life, whether it's adolescence, whether it's pregnancy, whether it's menopause, is those are moments in which you get to reflect inward and decide what would I like to do for myself and asking the important questions of who am I and where would I like to be?
My parting words would be that we all have this opportunity to change the journey of what we've been given, whether that's with circumstances, whether that's with our family life, whether that's with obstacles we go through, to recreate and redirect who we are in our health. But our health really requires the ability to take mind-body connection and And many times we dissociate and we disconnect.
And I would encourage anyone who's listening today and anyone that they can tell is that the importance of who we are in the end requires a mind-body connection. And I encourage everyone to take that opportunity to do that.
Okay, great. Here we go. I'm so excited. That was so unexpected when I walked out. I'm typically not like a crier, and I was like, oh, my God. It was, yeah.
You good?
All right, let's get you on TV. I know. I'm just so grateful. Thank you. You were just magnificent.
