The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

That's because this is a very, very powerful form of estrogen.

Why does your skin look like all of a sudden you started aging?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

And why does the elasticity of your skin change?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Why does libido just leave the building?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Because this is the main driver of all four of those things.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka

Okay, so when we look at the Dutch test, let me erase this for a minute.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

I'm just gonna walk you through this.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

When we look at the Dutch test,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

you see, this is the summary of the testing, and thankfully Sage has just been very willing to be vulnerable about this.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

Now, the good news is we fixed all of this, but she's been very willing to be vulnerable about this, and I'm gonna show you guys a follow-up test when we get one done, because she's on hormone therapy now, and almost all of these consequences have been mitigated.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So you see this little arrow right here that's pointing to this little purple square?

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

This purple square represents postmenopausal.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It is pointing directly at the postmenopausal area.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It's not in the green range where it would normally be if she was still having a normal menstrual cycle.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

The same with progesterone, which by the way,

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It helps women sleep.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

It can also help men sleep.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

So what I would suspect is that mood would be off, skin elasticity would be off, the menstrual cycle would have ended or be very, very off.

The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
227. Menopause: Symptoms, Hormones, Tests & Solutions with Sage Workinger-Brecka & Gary Brecka

I mean, massive gaps in timing because this hormone, which is between 10 times and 100 times more powerful than the other estrogens, is floored out and in the postmenopausal range.

So if you see this, you have a perfect explanation for why you're feeling the way that you do.
