  If

  you
• 0:31
  have
• 0:31
  a
• 0:31
  moment,
• 0:32
  I

  can't
• 0:38
  be

  perimenopause
• 0:39
  if

  you're

• 0:40
  control.
• 0:41
  Both.
• 0:43
  Oh.
• 0:43
  Okay.
• 0:45
  You

  don't

  need
• 0:46
  to
• 0:46
  treat
• 0:47
  vaginal
• 0:47
  atrophy
• 0:48
  if
• 0:48
  you're

  not
• 0:49
  having
• 0:49
  sex.
• 0:49
  That
• 0:49
  is
• 0:49
  a
• 0:50
  big
• 0:50
  false.
• 0:51
  Okay.
• 0:52
  Progesterone
• 0:53
  is
• 0:53
  only
• 0:54
  needed
• 0:54
  if
• 0:54
  you
• 0:55
  have
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  uterus.
• 0:55
  That's
• 0:56
  just
• 0:56
  false.
• 0:57
  Non
• 0:57
  menopausal
• 0:58
  women
• 0:58
  in
• 0:59
  their
• 0:59
  30s
• 1:00
  should
• 1:00
  get
• 1:00
  a
• 1:00
  basic
• 1:01
  hormone
• 1:01
  blood
• 1:02
  panel
• 1:02
  to
• 1:03
  get
• 1:03
  a
• 1:03
  baseline
• 1:04
  understanding
• 1:04
  of
• 1:04
  their
• 1:05
  hormone
• 1:05
  levels
• 1:05
  before
• 1:06
  perimenopause
• 1:07
  starts.
• 1:08
  Oh,
• 1:09
  is
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  right?
• 1:10
  You
• 1:10
  don't
• 1:10
  need
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  baseline.
• 1:11
  What
• 1:11
  is
• 1:11
  baseline?
• 1:12
  And
• 1:12
  it
• 1:12
  will
• 1:12
  change.
• 1:13
  If
• 1:13
  you
• 1:13
  have
• 1:13
  eight
• 1:13
  blood
• 1:13
  tests
• 1:14
  in
• 1:14
  a
• 1:14
  day,
• 1:14
  you'll
• 1:14
  get
• 1:15
  eight
• 1:15
  different
• 1:15
  results.
• 1:16
  So.
• 1:17
  Wow.
• 1:18
  Okay.
• 1:18
  That's
• 1:19
  how
• 1:19
  much
• 1:19
  our
• 1:19
  hormones
• 1:20
  fluctuate.
• 1:20
  Okay.
• 1:21
  Once
• 1:21
  you're
• 1:21
  in
• 1:22
  menopause,
• 1:22
  your
• 1:22
  hormones
• 1:23
  stay
• 1:23
  low
• 1:24
  and
• 1:24
  steady.
• 1:25
  They
• 1:25
  stay
• 1:25
  low,
• 1:26
  but
• 1:26
  not
• 1:26
  always
• 1:26
  steady
• 1:27
  because
• 1:27
  they
• 1:27
  can
• 1:28
  change,
• 1:28
  because
• 1:29
  our
• 1:29
  muscles
• 1:29
  will
• 1:29
  produce
• 1:30
  some
• 1:30
  hormones,
• 1:30
  Our
• 1:30
  heart
• 1:31
  produces
• 1:31
  hormones.
• 1:32
  So
• 1:32
  they
• 1:32
  will
• 1:32
  fluctuate,
• 1:33
  but
• 1:33
  they
• 1:33
  will
• 1:33
  generally
• 1:34
  be
• 1:34
  low.
• 1:34
  Oh,
• 1:35
  wow.
• 1:35
  Okay.
• 1:36
  Menopause
• 1:36
  does
• 1:37
  not
• 1:37
  affect
• 1:37
  your
• 1:37
  eyes.
• 1:38
  No,
• 1:38
  that's
• 1:39
  false.
• 1:39
  So
• 1:40
  it
• 1:40
  does.
• 1:41
  I
• 1:42
  knew
• 1:42
  it.
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  knew
• 1:43
  it.
• 1:43
  My
• 1:43
  vision
• 1:43
  is
• 1:43
  just
• 1:44
  going
• 1:44
  more
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  more
• 1:44
  each
• 1:45
  day.
• 1:46
  Okay.
• 1:47
  So
• 1:47
  that
• 1:47
  is
• 1:47
  a
• 1:47
  direct
• 1:48
  result.
• 1:48
  That's
• 1:48
  good
• 1:48
  to
• 1:49
  know.
• 1:50
  You
• 1:50
  can't
• 1:51
  take
• 1:51
  HRT
• 1:52
  if
• 1:52
  you've
• 1:52
  had
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  family
• 1:53
  member
• 1:53
  with
• 1:53
  breast
• 1:54
  cancer.
• 1:55
  Okay.
• 1:55
  So
• 1:55
  you
• 1:55
  can
• 1:56
  take
• 1:56
  it.
• 1:57
  You
• 1:57
  can
• 1:57
  take
• 1:58
  it.
• 1:58
  Okay.
• 1:59
  You
• 1:59
  only
• 2:00
  lose
• 2:00
  bone
• 2:00
  density
• 2:01
  after
• 2:02
  menopause.
• 2:02
  You
• 2:03
  lose
• 2:03
  about
• 2:03
  16
• 2:04
  in
• 2:04
  perimenopause.
• 2:05
  Oh,
• 2:06
  my
• 2:06
  gosh.
• 2:07
  Just.
• 2:07
  The
• 2:07
  good
• 2:07
  news
• 2:08
  keeps
• 2:08
  coming.
• 2:10
  Menopause
• 2:11
  makes
• 2:11
  your
• 2:11
  feet
• 2:11
  grow.
• 2:12
  Make
• 2:12
  sure.
• 2:12
  What?
• 2:13
  Feet
• 2:13
  grow?
• 2:14
  Feet
• 2:14
  grow.
• 2:14
  No.
• 2:15
  Probably
• 2:15
  shrink
• 2:15
  a
• 2:15
  bit,
• 2:15
  actually,
• 2:16
  with
• 2:16
  bone
• 2:16
  loss
• 2:16
  and
• 2:17
  cartilage
• 2:17
  loss.
• 2:18
  Ah,
• 2:18
  okay.
• 2:19
  Night
• 2:20
  sweats
• 2:20
  only
• 2:20
  happen
• 2:21
  at
• 2:21
  night.
• 2:22
  Well,
• 2:22
  if
• 2:22
  you
• 2:22
  call
• 2:22
  them
• 2:22
  night
• 2:23
  sweats,
• 2:23
  then
• 2:23
  they
• 2:23
  will.
• 2:24
  But
• 2:24
  sweats
• 2:24
  can
• 2:24
  happen
• 2:25
  any
• 2:25
  time
• 2:25
  of
• 2:26
  the
• 2:26
  day.
• 2:28
  Okay.
• 2:28
  Hormones
• 2:29
  don't
• 2:30
  affect
• 2:30
  your
• 2:30
  gums
• 2:31
  or
• 2:31
  teeth.
• 2:31
  No,
• 2:32
  they
• 2:32
  do.
• 2:33
  They
• 2:33
  do.
• 2:34
  So
• 2:34
  there
• 2:34
  is.
• 2:34
  There's
• 2:35
  gum
• 2:35
  loss.
• 2:36
  Yeah.
• 2:36
  The
• 2:37
  teeth
• 2:37
  become
• 2:37
  weaker.
• 2:38
  All
• 2:39
  the
• 2:39
  things.
• 2:39
  Great.
• 2:40
  You
• 2:41
  can't
• 2:41
  get
• 2:41
  pregnant
• 2:42
  during
• 2:42
  Perimenopause.
• 2:44
  Okay,
• 2:45
  so
• 2:45
  listen
• 2:45
  up,
• 2:45
  ladies.
• 2:46
  Be
• 2:46
  protected.
• 2:48
  Menopause
• 2:49
  starts
• 2:49
  at
• 2:49
  50
• 2:50
  for
• 2:50
  some
• 2:50
  women,
• 2:50
  but
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  lot
• 2:51
  of
• 2:51
  women
• 2:51
  know
• 2:52
  it
• 2:52
  can
• 2:52
  be
• 2:53
  other
• 2:53
  ages.
• 2:53
  Okay.
• 2:54
  If
• 2:55
  your
• 2:55
  periods
• 2:55
  are
• 2:55
  regular,
• 2:56
  you're
• 2:56
  not
• 2:56
  in
• 2:57
  perimenopause.
• 2:58
  Oh,
• 2:59
  okay.
• 3:00
  You
• 3:00
  only
• 3:00
  need
• 3:01
  estrogen
• 3:01
  for
• 3:01
  hot
• 3:01
  flashes.
• 3:02
  Both
• 3:03
  bioidentical
• 3:04
  hormones
• 3:04
  are
• 3:05
  always
• 3:05
  natural
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  safe.
• 3:07
  So
• 3:07
  they
• 3:07
  are
• 3:08
  natural.
• 3:08
  Usually.
• 3:09
  You
• 3:09
  just
• 3:09
  have
• 3:09
  to
• 3:10
  be
• 3:10
  careful
• 3:10
  who
• 3:10
  makes
• 3:10
  them.
• 3:11
  Really.
• 3:11
  It's
• 3:11
  like
• 3:11
  anything,
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  hormones
• 3:13
  bit's
• 3:13
  fine,
• 3:13
  but
• 3:13
  it's
• 3:14
  how
• 3:14
  they're
• 3:14
  made
• 3:15
  and
• 3:15
  their
• 3:15
  formulation.
• 3:16
  They're
• 3:16
  formulated.
• 3:17
  Weight
• 3:18
  gain
• 3:18
  in
• 3:18
  midlife
• 3:18
  is
• 3:19
  all
• 3:19
  about
• 3:19
  eating
• 3:19
  more
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  exercising
• 3:21
  less.
• 3:22
  N
• 3:23
  False.
• 3:24
  Menopause
• 3:25
  means
• 3:25
  your
• 3:25
  sex
• 3:26
  life
• 3:26
  is
• 3:26
  over.
• 3:26
  No,
• 3:27
  not
• 3:27
  at
• 3:27
  all.
• 3:28
  It
• 3:28
  can
• 3:28
  actually
• 3:28
  get
• 3:29
  better.
• 3:30
  Yeah,
• 3:30
  we
• 3:30
  should
• 3:31
  all
• 3:31
  be
• 3:31
  having
• 3:32
  if
• 3:32
  we
• 3:32
  want
• 3:32
  it.
• 3:33
  You
• 3:33
  know,
• 3:34
  sex
• 3:34
  isn't
• 3:34
  a
• 3:35
  bad
• 3:35
  thing.
• 3:35
  You
• 3:36
  know,
• 3:37
  look
• 3:37
  how
• 3:37
  easy
• 3:37
  it
• 3:37
  is
• 3:38
  to
• 3:38
  get
• 3:38
  Viagra.
• 3:38
  Like
• 3:39
  for
• 3:39
  men,
• 3:39
  it's
• 3:40
  very
• 3:40
  accepting.
• 3:40
  It's
• 3:41
  something
• 3:41
  that.
• 3:42
  Yeah,
• 3:42
  we
• 3:43
  feel
• 3:43
  embarrassed
• 3:43
  talking
• 3:44
  about
• 3:44
  sex
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  we
• 3:44
  shouldn't,
• 3:45
  we
• 3:45
  shouldn't.
• 3:45
  It's
• 3:45
  the
• 3:46
  age
• 3:46
  old
• 3:46
  double
• 3:46
  standard.
• 3:48
  Menopause
• 3:49
  only
• 3:49
  lasts
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  few
• 3:49
  years.
• 3:50
  If
• 3:50
  you're
• 3:50
  going
• 3:50
  to
• 3:51
  die
• 3:51
  a
• 3:51
  few
• 3:51
  years
• 3:51
  after
• 3:51
  your
• 3:52
  menopause,
• 3:52
  yes,
• 3:52
  but
• 3:53
  otherwise,
• 3:53
  no.
• 3:56
  And
• 3:57
  testosterone
• 3:58
  is
• 3:58
  a
• 3:58
  male
• 3:58
  hormone
• 3:59
  and
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  female
• 4:00
  hormone,
• 4:01
  so
• 4:01
  that's
• 4:01
  true,
• 4:01
  but
• 4:02
  it's
• 4:02
  not
• 4:02
  exclusively.
• 4:03
  And
• 4:04
  your
• 4:04
  body
• 4:04
  doesn't
• 4:05
  need
• 4:06
  hormones
• 4:06
  after
• 4:07
  menopause.
• 4:07
  It's
• 4:08
  natural
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  age.
• 4:10
  No,
• 4:13
  no.
• 4:14
  We
• 4:14
  have
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  remember
• 4:15
  about
• 4:15
  natural
• 4:16
  and
• 4:16
  aging.
• 4:16
  You
• 4:16
  know,
• 4:17
  there's
• 4:17
  lots
• 4:17
  of
• 4:17
  things
• 4:17
  that
• 4:18
  occur
• 4:18
  as
• 4:19
  we
• 4:19
  age,
• 4:19
  like
• 4:19
