And so what works in this phase of perimenopause may not work and we'll have to dose adjust.

But the good news is postmenopause, things tend to level out and it's a lot easier to find treatment.

I mean, it could take three to four weeks to make the hot flashes go away.

So, you know, if, if that's our primary end of treatment.

It's not optional, but suffering is not.

Because there was so much to cover with Dr. Natalie Crawford, we've broken down this episode into two parts.

This is part one, and we will publish part two later this week.

Today's guest is one of my favorite humans in medicine, and I want to tell you exactly why before I even say her name.

I followed her on social media for years before I ever met her in person.

Genuinely impressed by her ability to take the most complex reproductive medicine and make it accessible without losing an ounce of the science.

That's harder than it looks.

But here's what I understood once I actually got to know her.

This is not a wellness influencer.

This is a physician who lived the failure of the system and rebuilt herself around fixing it.

And that is exactly why I identify with her the way that I do.

Because I've lived it too.

I have polycystic ovarian syndrome.

I've had two miscarriages.
