And that's the conversation shift that I'm hoping is going to, instead of being a detriment and a downer and talked about, she must be on whatever derogatory, yes, derogatory things are said about us that, oh my gosh, she is so healthy now.

Yeah.

Or if you traveled around the world three times last month.

I just feel sitting here not being anywhere within this field thinking, wait a minute, because I was a cancer nurse first, right, before I did this.

Wait a minute.

There's got to be a cell surface marker that's unique to the endometrium that we could make a monoclonal antibody against.

There's got to be a cell surface marker.

Well, I'm sitting here from a musculoskeletal standpoint thinking about the high percentage of women who have endometriosis and PCOS and the complete, soundingly,

imbalance of natural hormones.

Plus, for a lot of reasons now, girls are not cycling normally.

And I'm sitting here terrified for their bones.

Yep, 100%.

Because we build bone from 15 to 25.

And if we are so inflamed that we're producing all kinds of inflammatory cytokines, Ig interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor, which halt bone development, we don't have enough estrogen for whatever reason, we're going to shut off our testosterone because it makes us feel better.

And we're not exercising.

And we're sitting around.

No wonder I have 20- and 30-year-olds with no bone density that are then going to go into perimenopause, which we will get to, and lose another 20%.

So I was feeling pretty hopeful that the Generation Xers are going to get to the millennials and get to the whatever they're called after this.

Exactly.

That's what I'm sitting here terrified.
