We have six children.
We have gone through adolescence and puberty six times, right?
Everybody knows the chaos in a person's life when they get their hormones.
It's hormonal, psychological, physiological, social.
Well, I started thinking about what happens in menopause when estrogen walks out the door.
Our ovaries lose, they retire, they essentially senesce.
They're unable to produce estrogen.
It is the same physiologic chaos.
It is hormonal, psychological, physiological, and social.
It affects everybody surrounding the woman in the center of the family.
So I made up the word menolescence.
Because people instantly get it.
They're like, oh, it's not just the cessation of your menses.
It's this whole environmental and physiologic change.
But I think words matter, Jonathan.
And so I tend to make up a lot of words, mental lessons.
Maybe we'll talk about the musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause, skeletal longevity.
And I just made up another one, the skeletonization of women.
Because I think when we can say something like menolescence and people immediately understand that it's this cataclysmic ecosystem of change...
It helps people explain themselves better or maybe not feel quite so gaslit when they go to the doctor or they tell their spouse something I don't feel like myself.
