You can't do well if you aren't well to begin with.

That's just the truth.

What got me into this area is...

Women are half the population.

And guess what?

We all go through this time.

And for many women, it actually can begin in their 40s.

Right where they're in, they've got a body of knowledge in their career.

They've started their company.

They've got their kids.

They might even have launched or be launching them.

They're most productive years.

And then they go through all these symptoms.

And we're hearing woman after woman goes into doctor and they'll have to go three, four, five, six doctors to get diagnosed.

that just shouldn't be.

And women are experiencing really difficult things, chronic aches, migraines, insomnia, like massive insomnia that can lead to depression.

Whereas on the flip side of that, we can help them with those problems so they can continue to do the work that they're doing

We're hearing one in 10 women telling us they're having to take time off from work because of these symptoms.

That just shouldn't be.

It was definitely been personal for me.
