• 0:37
  Episode before this, I discussed the changes that are coming to our practice and how I'm pivoting from focusing on people's got an in having them lose weight a hundred percent to focus into menopause and helping people balance the hormones.
• 0:52
  And also.
• 0:53
  Gain in the house and body back.
• 0:56
  And, and I've been getting some questions as of why you want to do menopause now, like.
• 1:00
  What's going on with menopause.
• 1:02
  What is it to you?
• 1:03
  So to speak that the gen Z menopause.
• 1:05
  and I discussed you all, how I'm getting so many patients that are coming to my practice.
• 1:10
  With hormonal imbalance, they come into me for gut, Because they know me for gut issues.
• 1:14
  I help them with the gut issues.
• 1:16
  I have them eliminate at least 90% of the symptoms.
• 1:19
  They are happy.
• 1:20
  They have way more energy than they did.
• 1:23
  They lost way more weight than they did.
• 1:25
  They have the, you know, more cognitive function than they did.
• 1:29
  They are literally happy in the body they have, but they always ask me what after J what can you do for my hot flashes?
• 1:36
  What can you do for my nice sweat?
• 1:37
  My moods are very treatable.
• 1:39
  I have lack of concentration, right?
• 1:41
  Lack of motivation, poor concentration.
• 1:43
  I'm still having some brain fog here and there.
• 1:45
  I would like to lose a little bit more weight.
• 1:48
  I lost.
• 1:48
  I know 10, 20, 35 pounds, but I still have some more way to do what should I do with this midsection in my abdomen?
• 1:55
  Or my period is irregular, I'm going through the changes that the J I'm having that have, you know, Muscle cramping and or having the image Yosis, it's painful to have sex with my partner.
• 2:06
  How can you help me?
• 2:08
  And in the past I've been telling them, oh, you know, just, I don't know.
• 2:12
  And that's just violence.
• 2:13
  Go to your gyno and have that your gyno balance, your hormones.
• 2:17
  And, see how it goes and they'll do so they'll go to the gynecologist, have.
• 2:22
  Evaluation.
• 2:23
  By the doctor and then they'll get put on hormonal treatment.
• 2:27
  Synthetic fake.
• 2:28
  Dangerous.
• 2:29
  Facts.
• 2:30
  They come on or treatments that are not working and what I've seen the most.
• 2:34
  And this population, my menopause population is that people are not being managed.
• 2:38
  Or monitored properly.
• 2:39
  They get put in homeowner treatments and that's it.
• 2:42
  Here you all.
• 2:42
  Goodbye.
• 2:43
  You're cured.
• 2:44
  Don't come back.
• 2:45
  But they are suffering.
• 2:46
  They are doing everything simple.
• 2:48
  Some people got pallets and palace is terrible, but like the creams, vaginal creams they are using, or the transit.
• 2:55
  Demo equipment they're using, but yet nobody's really having them come.
• 2:59
  On a monthly basis or every, you know, communicate with them on a weekly basis to see.
• 3:04
  How the symptoms are improved, eliminating.
• 3:08
  If they underwrite.
• 3:09
  Homeowner.
• 3:10
  Treatment, they just get put on hormonal treatments and that's it.
• 3:13
  And of course this is conventional conventional give you medications and you don't know when to stop the medications.
• 3:19
  When is the end date of the medication you get put on it?
• 3:21
  That's it.
• 3:22
  Any questions continue taking the medication until you die.
• 3:24
  So that's the same thing with the hormonal.
• 3:26
  Population is that we get the hamano.
• 3:29
  Maybe you getting more estrogen and progesterone.
• 3:32
  Maybe you get in pedestrian only that IUD is pedestrian.
• 3:35
  Only, or maybe you get in a balance, a combination, but it's not.
• 3:38
  Truly identical to the levels that you have, To your body to give you the symptoms.
• 3:44
  Some people are still suffering.
• 3:46
  And there are so many talks out there about home homeowner treatment causing cancer.
• 3:50
  And this was a main reason why I was shying away from helping people, but not as we were learning, that's not true.
• 3:57
  It is not true at all.
• 3:58
  And I can do a whole podcast about that.
• 4:00
  How people get breast cancer.
• 4:02
  or stroke or a heart attack.
• 4:05
  After they start in.
• 4:07
  Estrogen.
• 4:07
  There's a whole mechanism behind this.
• 4:09
  It's not because the estrogen is causing, the stroke or the heart attack or the breast cancer it's because you had plaques already laid out there, or you had cancer cells that were already brewing, and now you have this estrogen in your body is just moving things along.
• 4:24
  So it's kind of.
• 4:25
  increasing things because estrogen can also be a growth hormone.
• 4:27
  For some people, but that's another.
• 4:30
  That is another episode we can talk about.
• 4:32
  But I, as I mentioned before in the previous.
• 4:36
  Podcast.
• 4:36
  I'm about to go into perimenopausal.
• 4:38
  And if I'm being honest with you, I'm scared.
• 4:40
  Because I do love my life now.
• 4:43
  And I've worked so hard in decreasing my symptoms and healing myself and getting rid of my digestive issues.
• 4:49
  And.
• 4:49
  Not looking pregnant all the time and have more energy and more brain cognitive function.
• 4:54
  Alertness and I've worked so hard.
• 4:56
  And now for society to tell me as I'm going to perimenopausal and as I am fully menopause.
• 5:02
  I'm going to have more issues.
• 5:04
  So the way I see it.
• 5:06
  Another for me to prevent all these terrible symptoms that people are being told that are normal, that are not normal is to pre-gaming many night is to start balancing my hormones.
• 5:16
  Now.
• 5:17
  Let's see.
• 5:17
  What home was it?
• 5:18
  A declining slowly.
• 5:20
  And start bringing them up.
• 5:22
  And when I say homophones, I'm talking about your sex hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone.
• 5:26
  and also looking at two a D H E a R N D Jan.
• 5:29
  These hormones, I want to make sure that these things are balanced and have a nice healthy dose.
• 5:34
  But another reason I want to really focus on menopause because every woman who survives the middle age stage of life would experience menopause.
• 5:42
  This is more like more than half of the population.
• 5:45
  Usually when you age between.
• 5:47
  40.
• 5:48
  And 52 that's when you go into menopause and people can go into menopause all the way up to 60 something years old.
• 5:56
  Well, the Y populations are projected to age over there.
• 5:59
  The upcoming decades with the number of women aged 50 years and older expected, I expected to grow significantly.
• 6:07
  And the 1990s, 471 million woman world wide, where age, at least 50 years old.
• 6:16
  In 1990.
• 6:17
  471 million of people went into menopause.
• 6:21
  In 2015.
• 6:22
  This number increased by 82%.
• 6:25
  That's 861 million in 2015, 2015.
• 6:30
  Which correspond to a 2.4% increase per year and average.
• 6:35
  So what does that mean?
• 6:35
  Not us.
• 6:36
  You that's listening to this podcast.
• 6:38
  We're going to menopause.
• 6:39
  What are you going to menopause happy?
• 6:41
  Or you can go to men or boys struggling and sad and in despair and disappointed and feeling like you're broken.
• 6:48
  You're going through menopause.
• 6:48
  My friend.
• 6:49
  So bad at year of 2020, which is when 2020 now.
• 6:51
  we didn't even report the number of us women who will be age at least 50 years is estimated to be 64 million.
• 6:59
  So right now.
• 7:00
  It's more than 64 million.
• 7:02
  People going through menopause.
• 7:03
  This population is huge.
• 7:05
  And it's expected to grow to 90 million in 2060.
• 7:09
  So how many of us are going to suffer with all the side effects of menopause?
• 7:13
  You see how important menopause is, how we should really focus on healing.
• 7:18
  Our bodies focused on addressing the symptoms so we can have the life that we deserve because 90 millions of people were going through menopause.
• 7:25
  The overall life expectancy for us females is 81.2 years old, 81.2.
• 7:33
  That's the life expectancy.
• 7:35
  81.2.
• 7:36
  Which hasn't been changed since 2012.
• 7:38
  So we are going to go through menopause.
• 7:40
  The survival from age 50 to 80 in the us is estimated to be 67.2 and 2013.
• 7:47
  So we are living longer.
• 7:49
  We're going to live into 80 something years old.
• 7:51
  According to the us census bureau Study the population where you going to go, like 64 million of us going to go into menopause.
• 8:00
  So it is very important.
• 8:02
  That we really take this matter into consideration.
• 8:05
  If you want to not again, be miserable.
• 8:08
  You cannot, at the end of the day, we're not going to die.
• 8:10
  We're just going to suffer.
• 8:12
  Which is going to suffer.
• 8:13
  So people who survive to age 50, I expected to live an average of 33.3 more years.
• 8:20
  Wow.
• 8:21
  With increasing life expectancy, many women will spend up to 40% of the lives in post-menopausal.
• 8:28
  With more than 60% surviving, at least until the age of 80.
• 8:32
  For me, I want to live to be a 90, to be 90.
• 8:34
  I want to live to be 90 years old, a hundred years old.
• 8:37
  To be honest with you.
• 8:38
  So that's why I'm pre-gaming to address all these menopausal symptoms.
• 8:41
  Make sure my body's into homeostasis.
• 8:43
  Balancing my hormones taking care of my brain.
• 8:46
  So I don't have dementia because estrogen has a lot to do with that as well.
• 8:49
  Taking care of my body.
• 8:51
  But we need to really pay attention to this.
• 8:54
  Menopause is viewed as an important stage in a woman's life.
• 8:58
  Characterized by changes in bleeding patterns, hormone levels.
• 9:03
  Body composition, psychological wellbeing.
• 9:06
  and a standard we productive staging system.
• 9:09
  And.
• 9:10
  Except the menopause terminology are critical to advance for doctors and researchers to understand, and that's what we need to do as doctors, we need to understand what menopause means to different people, because some people have the knife.
• 9:23
  Nice sweat.
• 9:23
  I have flashes some people don't they just feel like they're going crazy and they don't know why they are depressed.
• 9:29
  They don't know why they have anxiety.
• 9:31
  They don't know why they're crying.
• 9:32
  They don't know why they have no lack of desire, things that they love to do.
• 9:35
  Poor concentration, lack of motivation.
• 9:38
  Like they just not thriving in the lives.
• 9:41
  And that is menopause.
• 9:43
  So it is very important that we take this in consideration.
• 9:47
  Again, what you do today will set you up for success.
• 9:50
  Three.
• 9:51
  Years from now.
• 9:52
  Three months from now.
• 9:54
  Even a month from now, depending on what you are doing, how much of it you're doing.
• 9:57
  So my goal moving forward is to to help.
• 10:00
  patients address the menopausal symptoms so that we don't fall victim, so that doctors and practitioners and society.
• 10:06
  And it'll tell us, oh, it's normal.
• 10:08
  It's normal for you to go into changes when it's not normal.
• 10:12
  They are like 85.
• 10:14
  Plus from what I understand, symptoms of menopause.
• 10:17
  And the number one reported symptoms of menopause is exhaustion.
• 10:21
  That we always tired.
• 10:22
  And which is the number on Newport is symptoms.
• 10:24
  When you have a viruses, which is a number of nobodies symptoms, when they have different illnesses.
• 10:28
  Auto immune conditions.
• 10:30
  So, what are we going to do when we have 64 millions of women?
• 10:34
  And I live up to be 80 something years old.
• 10:37
  And the life expectancy.
• 10:39
  It's extended.
• 10:40
  So I would love for you to join me on this movement.
• 10:43
  Of learning about your symptoms of learning about your body, of learning about your hormones.
• 10:48
  Which homeowners you need to focus on the most, which home when needs to be balanced the most and not accepting the level.
• 10:55
  You into menopause.
• 10:56
  Life is doomed.
• 10:57
  You need to go sit somewhere and this is why it is.
• 11:00
  Everybody goes through.
• 11:01
  This is part of aging.
• 11:03
  No, it's not, but an agent why sort of Asian is really thriving and we birth them because menopause to me.
• 11:09
  So we birth of a new life.
• 11:11
  Cause your productive organs can not give babies anymore.
• 11:14
  Your ovaries are done.
• 11:15
  In perimenopause or your ovaries is like, I'm done.
• 11:17
  I'm back.
• 11:18
  I'm done.
• 11:19
  I'm back.
• 11:19
  It's like I'm back.
• 11:20
  I'm done.
• 11:21
  So that's what I'm going to pause.
• 11:22
  So you have like a fluctuation of hormones up and down, up and down, but in post-menopausal you over, it's a done deal out of service.
• 11:29
  They're on vacation and permanent.
• 11:30
  Like definitely they're not coming back.
• 11:32
  So does that mean that we just sit and suffer and go through all the hormonal changes?
• 11:37
  No.
• 11:37
  You don't have to really deal with the hot flashes.
• 11:40
  You don't have to really deal with all the mood swings, although it would ability.
• 11:43
  The, you know, each ness in the vagina area, dryness painful intercourse.
• 11:49
  Like skin changes, mood changes, brain changes, You don't have to deal with any of that in menopause.
• 11:54
  We can offset all of that so we can have a beautiful life.
• 11:59
  And then when we're ready to go.
• 12:00
  We're just going to go lay in bed.
• 12:02
  And go.
• 12:03
  With no pains, no suffering.
• 12:04
  Because having menopause.
• 12:07
  Doesn't mean like you have to suffer, you still can be active.
• 12:10
  I can need to be active.
• 12:12
  And you need to be thriving and you deserve a life that is not painful.
• 12:17
  That is not.
• 12:18
  Sad that is not, That is not the way not struggling.
• 12:22
  A life that is beautiful.
• 12:23
  Because when you go into menopause again, it's new beginning to get to do whatever when it's joy and happiness to your life.
• 12:30
  But I wanted to do this episode to show you the importance of focusing on menopause.
• 12:35
  Because as we are getting older, we are aging.
• 12:38
  A lot of people are going to go to menopause.
• 12:40
  A lot of people are going to go through menopause and some of them are being told it's normal.
• 12:43
  Do nothing and suffer.
• 12:45
  Oh, they are not accepted.
• 12:46
  Not people like myself.
• 12:47
  No, it's not normal.
• 12:48
  Because I have proven evidence.
• 12:50
  People are balancing the hormones and they are thriving.
• 12:52
  So why should I settle for less?
• 12:54
  I'm going to fight until I'm done.
• 12:55
  So, if you want to be part of this movement, but of this journey, I would love to invite you.
• 13:00
  And I would love for you to invite others.
• 13:02

  We're going to take matters into our hands.
• 13:08

• 13:10

• 13:13

• 13:16
  And not settle for less.
