Well, are we giving back 10,000 like pregnancy?

No, we're giving back to be like 50, 60, 70, the way that you are early in your cycle kind of a thing.

Now, testosterone is not even on this graph that everybody gets taught of estrogen, then progesterone.

But we do know testosterone is pretty stable through the cycle, although we do believe it peaks during ovulation, which makes sense because you want to have a baby, right?

So evolution says, OK, you need to be horny around the time that you are going to ovulate.

And so your testosterone starts to go up.

Now, it's really important because you're probably not having a conversation with your nieces about their menstrual cycles.

But it's a problem because no one's talking about it if they're painful, if they're abnormal, if they're – we don't have a lot of conversations around what is a normal amount of bleeding.

We have so many people who have problems.

whether it's PCOS, which is now called PMOS, which is a metabolic issue that causes you to have irregular periods.

There's endometriosis where you have painful periods.

There are so many medications we give to people that can alter their hormonal health and sexual health for that matter.

And then it all starts to get even more chaotic in perimenopause, which is, again, age 35 to 45.

If menopause, we say, is 45 to 55.

right is normal menopausal age average age is 52 and we think perimenopause is when things start to change for people about 10 and they can be about 10 years that means 35 to 45 so how old are you i don't remember 33 33 my partner's 33 all right so 33 so this idea that i'm too young or it's too early or i'm not there yet the truth is things do start to change what changes for women so

So there are so many symptoms to hormonal fluctuations.

So for some people, it's temperature changes.

For some people, it's fatigue.

For some people, it's remembering things.

For some people, it's low libido.
