So nothing kind of surprising in terms of it's kind of just going in a direction of a healthier dietary pattern. The strongest association was the seeds and the nuts. which I think is really interesting. But I wouldn't say there was a silver bullet as such that came out. But we're still crunching some of the numbers. This isn't published yet, this data.

Yeah. So having done all of this work, looking at how many symptoms people had and the impact that they had on their quality of life, we started to learn what was really important. What were the most troublesome symptoms? And we started to also reflect and look at what questionnaires are out there. The questionnaires that are out there are developed in the 70s, for example.

So they're 30, 50 years old. They're using quite what I think is inaccessible language. I mean, they ask Questions like, what is your excitability levels? Now, as a female, if I was asked that, I would probably want to punch my GP, my doctor, for asking me that. You know, they were developed at a time where things were very different for women.

And so what we wanted to do is we wanted to develop a questionnaire that was informed by our science, that covered the most prevalent symptoms, that was user friendly, that used modern language, but that also assessed the impact that the symptoms were having on their quality of life. And so we developed this questionnaire and it's got 20 questions.

These are what we find are the most common symptoms. So 20 different symptoms that we ask about. And then for each symptom, people tell us from a scale of zero to five, how much it impacts their quality of life. And then out of that, they get a score of 100 because you've got the 20 symptoms and the grading of five. And that grading of five, I think, is really important because

rather than just adding up the number of symptoms, because you could kind of have an endless number of symptoms, you know, because the oestrogen affects so much, as I said earlier, of our body, it's important to recognise what's the overall burden that menopause is having on you. And that's what that scale of zero to 100 gives to us.

And so, for example, if you're having really problematic sleep issues because of the menopause, that can affect everything. The next day can affect what you're eating, how much physical activity, your mood, your anxiety, your interactions with other people, your work, for example. If, however, you're experiencing problems with your hair and skin, which is a very common symptom,
