They do, but their decline is much slower over a longer timeframe.

And so that's why you still can have men who are in their 70s and 80s still being able to have or contribute sperm and you get pregnant, but we no longer can after a certain age, which is why women experience menopause.

Well, all hormones for men and women obviously play that specific role. But when we speak to just women and how they're going to experience life, I think that's the best way to frame it is how are you experiencing life? What's contributing to the factors that really are kind of key and specific to women? I would say estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, as well as our thyroid hormones.

But men do have thyroid hormones as well, as well as estrogen and testosterone. We just have it in different levels. But for women, I would say estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and our thyroid hormones.

So they're kind of like in separate pods, but they're kind of in the same neighborhood and really contribute towards each other. But estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

I usually like to categorize it as maybe if we were to say our menopausal, metabolic, and mitochondrial hormones. And so cortisol is really, I like to put it in the metabolic kind of family of when we talk about hormones because it has such a broad impact on our entire body system.

So metabolic means the things that function in how we regulate the activity of our entire body. So metabolically, we would say if you have metabolic hormones that are being shifted, that's usually when we talk to insulin and glucose and how our body is able to absorb glucose, utilize glucose as a fuel. So cortisol really has a lot to do with that as far as metabolic functions. Okay.

So I would definitely say what we have started to see, you know, over the last few decades is typically when we start our period, that age has become younger. Why? And so that age has become younger because of environmental factors. A lot of the things that we have in our environment, a lot of the foods that we eat. So it actually is something that we should be researching in a way of
