The placenta?

I mean, I think there's a few of them that I didn't realize were glands.

So what is it that women should know?

If a woman's listening right now and goes, okay, I understand what a hormone is.

I get what the hormone loop is.

And I have all these different glands.

But at the end of the day, you know, I get to this place in my life, which I don't kind of feel like myself anymore.

Or I've had this before.

I went from getting a period to going through reproduction to now here I am.

And oh, I just heard this word perimenopause and now menopause.

What do we need to know through this continuum?

What made you write the book The Hormone Loop?

Because I know you didn't say menopause in the title, and I appreciate the fact that it is all of those different stages, those four stages that you just mentioned.

Why are they shifting like that?

Really?

Yeah.

Why is that?

So if we have a woman that's going through one of those stages or we have a mom that's listening and their daughters may be going, you know, it's obviously PMS, dealing with PMS, PMDD, what do you want them to know about what to pay attention to?

Because I wish I had you when I was a lot younger, but I didn't.

I mean, I didn't even know what endometriosis was when I was growing up.
