Isn't that fascinating?

So the legacy of your entire family exists within the ovaries of these baby girls that we have, right?

So it's the natural history of ovarian life that, you know, and to contrast it, the analogous structure in an XY person, a male, is testicles.

But

you build 1500 sperm a day or a minute, it's rapid, right?

A female child is born with all the eggs, the natural history is that by puberty we've lost a large percent of those.

And then what we are designed to do, which we don't always do, is every month cyclically as hormones predictably rise and fall,

We use and exhaust a percentage.

But here is why midlife is so profound for women and so different between men and women.

Because it is wrong to say that the physiology of men or women are the same.

My own data show down to the stem cell level that they're different.

So by the time a woman reaches 35 to 40...

you start to not feel like you've always felt because we have less than 1% of our eggs left.

Estrogen by and large, a very tiny percent is made in the adrenals, but most of a woman's estrogen is made in the follicle or the eggshell of an egg.

So when you have so few you're just not producing the same level, healthy levels you've always produced.

And the reason that's important and there's one of several things I want your audience to walk away with is estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are not sex hormones.

They are hormones just like thyroid hormone or any hormones our body makes.

they're not specifically sex hormones, there are estrogen receptors, alpha and beta, on every tissue of the body.

So imagine every tissue in the body becomes rapidly starved of one of its key ligands, of one of its key signaling pathways,
