I feel like nowadays I hear women, especially coming into perimenopause, confused about what's going on, feeling like there's no focus, feeling like they can't remember things, feeling like they're struggling in some way, feeling like they were managing perfectly before but not anymore.

Are you seeing that more and more or do you think you're seeing it more and more because it's a conversation we're having online?

It is.

And I know that, you know, we've had Dr. Lisa Moscone on the show in the past talking about our brain and the menopause brain, obviously.

And I think that talking about it, was that something that you had ever paid attention to was estrogen?

Because I don't know that anybody had.

I mean, this has been a very recent conversation.

So when women, and I hear it all the time, like, why didn't anyone tell us?

I'm so frustrated.

Why didn't I know this?

It's not our fault.

Like, this was not a conversation that was being had.

And I don't even know if all the data was there, quite frankly.

Well, and we have estrogen receptors in the brain, and I've seen enough of those.

I'm not a doctor, but I've seen enough of those graphics to know when something is missing.

So if you have a woman that is coming to you that's in perimenopause or menopause and says, like, look, I think I have ADHD.

I can't focus.

I don't know what's going on.

I can't remember things.

I'm feeling off.
