And
I, like, I wrote this book with my co-author, Sadina Skorsky, Complete Boundary Joint and Health Plan, because people just don't understand their bodies.
Like, they don't understand arthritis and osteoporosis.
And we tried to explain like, what is arthritis?
What is osteoporosis?
What are the things you can do to change your course?
Because, but again, so it's not only for women, but because arthritis is more of an issue for women and osteoporosis is like, I do have a lot in there explaining that because I just think if people don't understand, like if women don't understand that, yes, I am going to be more prone to arthritis than a man at age 50.
And I am going to be more prone to frozen shoulder, um,
I think just having an understanding of that can help them advocate more for themselves.
And like just taking an index of your own symptoms, like are you having this increased joint pain or your frozen shoulder at the same time that you're having like vasomotor symptoms and general urinary symptoms and like talk to your women's health doctor about that.
I love my male orthopedic surgery partner so much and I have actually so many of them are now
talking to women.
I don't want to pick on my husband, Tal, but he's also an orthopedic surgeon.
And we actually work with, we're like a rotation for our fellowship.
So one fellow will come and work with both of us at the same time.
And one day one of the fellows told me, I think you need to help Dr. Lassiter.
He's talking to women about the change.
But I said, no, that's so great.
He's asking women with shoulder pain about their symptoms and texting me.
How do I refer to women's health?
