And I just want to, you know, off the top commend you for that.

just your work and also all the awareness you're bringing to so many of these topics that just, to your point, you've said nine out of 10 doctors get hormone replacement therapy wrong or hormone therapy wrong, or just aren't educated.

You've shared that getting your medical degree or for your

medical degree, you had one hour of training around menopause, and then your four-year specialty degree, six hours of training, and that's it.

And so for a lot of us, even if we're blessed to have really incredible doctors, they likely have no training around menopause, around perimenopause, around hormone therapy, around any of these topics.

And so for a person listening right now, I think picking up your book is such a great

tool to take the power into our own hands about even understanding what these concepts are.

And for someone who really likes their doctor and maybe they have a gynecologist that they like and they have their routines, but they're listening to us going, okay,

My insurance covers my doctor.

I don't want to go find new people.

But how do I build my own menopause toolkit?

When you talk about, let's say, taking... We talk about...

idea of being the CEO of your own health.

And so for a woman sitting here listening to us sharing this conversation with us right now, what are some surveys, websites they can go to right now to enter some of their symptoms, some of their situations to find out, am I potentially in perimenopause?

Am I potentially in menopause?

What are some of the sites and tools you recommend?

I love this so much because

For the person that's like, oh gosh, well, I want to keep my doctor.

And also I think they might not know anything about menopause, but I like them.

And for the person that maybe is just going to go to their current doctor and that's it.
