Like, what are you the most getting sued?

Or are you just afraid that you don't know how to write the prescription and how to follow that patient?

What are you afraid of?

And we go through that idea of like, how can we give you the confidence to know that transdermal hormones don't have the same blood clot risks as an oral hormone therapy?

How do we teach doctors and clinicians to know that we don't necessarily have all the data in the world on dementia, but if your patient has osteoporosis and or osteopenia and wants to prevent osteoporosis, then why is one more, you know, like we use the data that we have and the logic that we have instead of the data that we don't have.

And so I help doctors and clinicians use the data that we do have to really make educated, logical decisions and shared decision making with the patient in front of them.

And so it really becomes, what are you afraid of?

And I love that.

And, you know, I love that sort of thought process because it pushes them to say, like, well, would you do it?

Like, why?

Why are you afraid?

And really question that.

And so for your doctor who says you can't have this, your question back to them is, well, what are you afraid of and

what does the data actually show are you afraid because you don't know how to do this or are you afraid because you're unclear at the updated data that sort of exists and the way it's been interpreted now and so and then you know it's really teaching that you can do all of the things in the toolbox you can do some of the things in the toolbox but you deserve as the patient to know what your toolbox is so right now most men can walk into any clinic actually there's whole clinics on sidewalks i see with giant signs where they can go and get an evaluation for sexual dysfunction

And women are struggling to get the same level of care.

And women in most clinicians' offices are told that the majority of their issues are psychological.

But now that they listen to this podcast, they're realizing that this is probably biology and less psychology.

But why do you think, because you have a foot in both worlds, male and female medicine, why do you think that there's this double standard?

It's research and science.

I mean, it's that we have more... We haven't valued?
