  Excellent, and I recommend her book to all my clients. There's one myth here: that bone density somehow peaks in late 20s naturally and falls naturally. Bone density is a function of use. Most people become more sedentary and less competitive as they turn 30. For the competitive rowers, tennis players, and others doing impact sports, bone density stays high as long as they are doing their high-intensity activities. It's Wolff's law - your bones will grow and stay strong in anticipation of future use and abuse. Nothing to do with age. Lumberjacks and construction workers can keep strong bones as long as they are working, and it falls off a cliff as soon as they stop. You need enough protein, estrogen, calcium, and other minerals to support growth, but your bones are happy to grow as long as they are stressed.

  Its make me so happy to see more and more of these conversations on a big scale. I'm sitting here teary eyed at thinking of how many times I've probably been considered a "whiny woman" and was completely dismissed while going thru internal hell. THANK YOU for removing the muzzle that's kept our voices quiet. This is soooooo important! 🥹❤

  Finally, I got my gyno to support getting me (61) some bioidentical testosterone  after having a very low libido for 4 years. It's not kicking in yet, but I'm hopeful.

  I looked for a dr on the menopause society and the dr that was listed there was the one I had seen and she didn't seem to know about HRT she wanted me to come off HRT and seemed to not know.

  I'm loving this interview but I wish that PCOS and how that plays into hormones, etc... wasn't mentioned.  It seems like providers are just as clueless about it as with peri and menopause.

  Every dr I see wants me to come off my HRT because I am 67! Came off for 8 months one time was a mess! By dr suggestion to decrease my Estradiol that was not good either. It was such a fight to  get  back my 2mg Estradiol. Haven't had sex since my divorce in 2005 drs want to continue doing pap test, I don't want to any more 😕. I exercise and eat very clean. Such a battle out here. 😢

  The problem is I can't find a provider who is educated in this stuff, or even open to educating themselves. They push birth control and SRIs. The only people listening to this perimenopause and menopause research are holistic practitioners not covered by insurance, which I can't afford. Regular practitioners have gaslit me that I am too young to be in perimenopause despite being 40 and ticking all the boxes including the cholesterol increasing with no change to diet and exercise. One hormone clinic said I needed to have permanent birth control before they'd prescribe HRT. What can I do?!
