What we realized was she had so little cortisol when you look at it on a chart of a normal cortisol pattern climbing in the morning,

you see that yours was flat lined.

She had no waking hormone.

And at the same time, you couldn't even register any more melatonin in your system.

Your melatonin was off the charts.

She wasn't even taking melatonin, but her melatonin was off the charts.

So imagine that it's like taking an Adderall to go to bed and then taking a sleep medication to wake up.

Yeah, and you were a lot more energetic at night than you were during the daytime.

And so what were like the big signs that you would say, okay, if you start to experience this, women, this is when it's time to get your hormones checked.

And I also want to just dispel a myth really quickly.

There was a study, it was published in the 2018-2019 timeframe and it was one of those studies or 2012, I apologize, that linked hormones

to breast cancer and linked estrogen therapy to breast cancer.

That very same study and I'm gonna put the study link below, found upon a longer, more exhaustive study that hormone therapy was actually not linked to breast cancer.

In fact, it was linked in some cases to a reduction in breast cancer.

So I know a lot of women are listening to this and they think estrogen, breast cancer or testosterone, breast cancer.

And those two are not...

linked any longer.

Just because you are taking hormone replacement therapy does not mean you have an increased risk of breast cancer.

So I wanted to put that out there, I wanted to actually give you the study, so you can read it yourselves, because I know a lot of women are hesitant to even start hormone replacement therapy.

It's easy for men, we're like a rifle shot, just give us testosterone, we're good to go.
