Last week, I was speaking at the American Diabetes Association and talking about midlife and menopause, which you and I have talked about, and all the metabolic changes that go on when estrogen walks out the door. And we've already talked today about prediabetes and how we need to put on a big alarm because of all the metabolic changes that will lead to diabetes and Alzheimer's.

And we've already talked today about prediabetes and how we need to put on a big alarm because of all the metabolic changes that will lead to diabetes and Alzheimer's.
But when I look at those two things separately, perimenopause and all the metabolic changes and the lipid changes and the fat distribution and the insulin insensitivity and prediabetes, they are nearly identical. And what we know is that this is another alarm to sound if we have not paid attention in the critical decade of our lives.

and become pre-diabetic and then are a woman and lose our estrogen, it compounds the normal metabolic changes that happen with insulin resistance to the loss of estrogen. And after menopause, women have more diabetes and therefore more Alzheimer's. And so if I can back all this up and start people thinking about it when we're 35, that is work worth doing.

You know what, Stephen, if I could get more men to take the attitude that you've just expressed, to have the curiosity to learn about the changes in midlife women, and not only bodily changes, but attitudinal and the sexuality changes, I think we could save a lot of marriages. But I find that...

For the lack of knowledge there is amongst the women, there is even less knowledge among the men, but if it's a partnership. So I think your attitude and curiosity is laudable because I think we could save a lot of relationships if everyone felt that way.

I think how you know when it's enough, when it becomes, if it pertains to work or striving for something or is when you don't love it anymore. When it becomes a grind and you don't love it, that's when it's enough because it's not feeding you.
