How should we look at those issues?

Now that you're finally seeing far more female doctors are graduating medical school.

We're getting far more female researchers.

You're starting to see them move to the top levels.

And now they're starting to say, hey, we need to go after these issues.

It's not okay.

to treat a man's body as the default body, you've got to look at the women's issues too and what's going on for them.

Yes.

No, we just, it was almost as if whole areas of a woman's life were invisible in the medical research, right?

Like we've expected women for so long to put up with pain and suffering instead of saying, look, every woman goes through these transitions in life.

They go through their reproductive years and then they go through these perimenopause and menopause years.

Let's look at a full woman's life cycle and not just her reproductive years.

Let's look at the whole thing and say, how can we help her through?

And women spend nine years of their life

ill.

And we often think of the later years, like the Alzheimer's years or the geriatric years that they face, that is only about half of it.

Half of those years are in her most productive part of life.

But if she's dealing with perimenopause and she's not getting the right information, she's got massive insomnia often, she might have

a lot of anxiety.

We know about hot flashes.
