It's a team effort.

All of it is always a team effort.

And so and say, I don't know what I don't know.

And so let's figure it out together and we can dive into some of the resources together.

I think that would be the best.

I'm thinking from personally as well, like what I what I need as far as support, just to acknowledge that, yes, you are going through something and

we can figure it out.

And I think it's, it's just, um, and what treatment might work this, this year may not, may need to be adjusted next year potentially.

And that's, that's okay as well.

So yeah, I hope that answers.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll just speak from what I've experienced my own self, but then I'm not prescribing by any means.

This is not necessarily taken as medical advice, but I think too, your provider can really help to tease out like what might, if you have a chronic condition, such as like a type two diabetes, or you're monitoring that or pre-diabetic, or there's family history of heart disease,

But then also if you're experiencing, like when you talked about the hot flashes, there is the sleep disturbances, whether it's sleep because of stress or it's a hormonal issue.

I think it's mood swings.

We've had a lot of women that I've talked to around their 40s all of a sudden diagnosed with like ADHD

or they're having more anxiety, or they're having more depression.

And that's certainly hormonal potentially, but I think it's well, not necessarily, you don't have to grin and bear it per se and say, oh, this is just, this is what it is.

This is my midlife.

No, there are treatments available.
