You know, back in 2002, we had about 40% of women that were on hormone therapy, not necessarily the patches, but that dropped off after a test or after a study that really scared a lot of people.
And now only about 4% of the country, up to 5% is on hormone therapy.
The number has been ticking up, but the demand is increasing so much at this point, again, for patches that they really have to relook at what's going on.
So I spoke before the FDA.
last week with a small group of women to say like we need to get manufacturing where we can make you know get more patches out there so i'm hopeful that's going to happen at some point but right now at this point we still have a lot of a lot more demand than what we have uh product going on out there and that's going to keep rising but i would ask about that especially if you're breaking out with acne yeah i mean that's a common side effect of of estrogen right
Well, it can be.
It's not necessarily that you're talking about a compound.
So there can be all sorts of different side effects just depending on things.
But I would pay attention to that because usually when estrogen level drop is when testosterone remains high and then you can have those acne breakouts.
Right, right.
If I didn't want to do, if I'm not ready for that phase quite yet, are there supplements that you love?
Oh, that's a good question.
So, you know, I'm not a doctor, but I will tell you what I do.
So tell me everything.
Magnesium is my big one for sleeping.
So I don't know if you have problems sleeping, but sleep, glycinate.
So if you have problems sleeping, that is what I would 100% recommend.
We talk about bone health and we talk about building muscles.
So creatine is another one that I would add in.
