  Speaker 1: Hey, I want to thank you for checking out Arrow.net. A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's 21 different podcasts that explore where we are, where
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: we're growing to, where we've been, and oh my God,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it's a brand new movie and who's starring in it.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Have you checked out the podcast yet, Beyond the Calling yet?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: These are the men and women who have served this
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: nation and have come back home to make life even
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: greater on our soil. Be on the calling only on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Doctor, this is such a blessing because
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I get the opportunity to share a conversation with you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: in January. So to have this right here as we
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: jump into October, it's almost like the person that takes
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: great notes in church. And on Thursday, I've got those
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: notes to go back to.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: I love that. That's a great analogy. That's good. I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And what you're covering this time, I swear to God,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the reason why it hits me so hard is because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my wife has gone through menopause and my daughter of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: 48 years is going through it now. It's not the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: same journey. It's not hereditary, dude. I mean, a lot
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: of guys have got to be experiencing this.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, it's interesting. I my wife is going
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: through it, too. It's I started writing The New Menopause
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Kitchen because all my health books, I do a Facebook
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: group for each health book. And I help people who
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: are trying to do the plan and I walk them
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: through it. I provide resources for them. And in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: last group I did, a lot of the women came
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: up to me and said, hey, Dr. Ian, just so
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: you know. you know, this is helping us with our
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: menopausal symptoms. I said, really? I was, I was shocked.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I said, yes, we're having less hot flashes. We're sleeping better.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We're losing a lot of weight. We couldn't lose before.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: They said, could you write a program that specifically addresses
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: women who are in perimenopause, menopause, and even postmenopause. And
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: that really was the premise of the new menopause kitchen.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: They wanted to know, write a plan that uses food
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: as a way to counteract some of the symptoms of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: And I did it and they love it and they've
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: been successful on it. I have a new group now.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That's the title of the book, The New Menopause Kitchen.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So people who are listening can join that Facebook group.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And we have great resources. We have doctors in there,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: trainers in there who are giving free advice. You can
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: ask them anything you want. It's just... a wonderful, safe,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and supportive community.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I want listeners and readers to know that this is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: not Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show, that you are a
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: genuine product on your teaching with people. You physically sit
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: down with us and really do listen. I mean, that's authentic, guy,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and I commend you on that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, I don't know any other
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: way to do it. I mean, I can't phone it in.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I got into medicine because I love people. I love
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: helping people. I want people to live their best life.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And so to me, it's just natural that, of course,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I would be intimate in conversation with them and help
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: every individual. That's just who I am. So it's not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: I don't take it as a like I'm anything special.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It's just that's how I conduct my life.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And then to work with Rachel Ray? Hello, you got
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my attention on that one, sir.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Rachel's been a good friend of mine
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: since I started doing her show, what, 19 years ago?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I did 17 seasons on her show. But I came
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: to her because in the book, I tell women that
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: in chapter two, I tell women that there are certain
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: power nutrients that are really important to load up on
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: during your midlife years. And I tell them what the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: nutrients are, what they do in their body, how they
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: can help alleviate some of the symptoms and then where
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to get them in food. So I wanted Rachel to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: create recipes, very simple, tasty, affordable recipes that will naturally
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: incorporate all these power nutrients. So you don't have to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: think about it. If you just cook this recipe, you're
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: going to be loading up a lot of these nutrients.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And she did it and they're wonderful. And I'm excited
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: for people to to try them. And by the way,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the whole family can. These aren't just recipes for women.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: These are recipes for the whole family. They're good, delicious recipes.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I am so glad that you said that because my
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: wife and I share a lot of time inside that kitchen.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted you to really know is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: that this really is for husbands and wives and boyfriends
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and girlfriends or just a BFF moment, man. We can
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: all gather in the kitchen and really feel good about
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: what we're prepping.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I think that the way I wrote the book, Arrow,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: is there are only three chapters of reading, by the way.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: The first chapter explains what perimenopause and menopause and postmenopause are.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: The second chapter talks about what those power nutrients are
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and where you can get them, what they do in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: your body. The third chapter talks about anti-inflammatory diet because
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: inflammation is a big problem, particularly for women in menopause.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: And then … That's it. That's all the reading. Then
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: there's the exercise. There's a meal plan, the 10 week
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: meal plan. There's the exercise plan. There's Rachel's recipes and
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: their snacks. So it's really a book for men and women,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to be honest with you. And I believe that if
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: men read the book, they would better understand the journey
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that their significant other is going through and be more
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: supportive and be more sensitive and everyone would be happier.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That inflammatory thing is huge, huge, huge because my wife,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: she's going through it and she keeps going to the doctor.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: They give her a pill. I physically sat down with
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: her and I said, you have got to try this book.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Please try this book because we have got to do it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I'm a nature freak. Everything's got to be done naturally.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So to pop a pill in my gut is just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: not what I'm going to do. So this book is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: coming at such a major point for a lot of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: people as we jump out of summer and get ready
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: for those fall months.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: 100%. And she'll like it. That's chapter three. She'll like
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: it because I will tell her these are foods that
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: are contributing to your inflammation. These are foods to avoid.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: These are foods that help decrease your inflammation. It's all
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: right there. It's a simple anti-inflammatory food guide. And this
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: is the whole point is so that people can do anti-inflammatory.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: By the way, people hear the word anti-inflammatory. They think, oh,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it's going to be complicated or expensive. It's not. It's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: very simple. And this book keeps it simple for people.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: How is it that you're able to pull this out
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: of the universe? I would love to sit down and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: either meditate with you, write with you, or something. Because
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: when an idea comes to you, my God, you must
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: take off in the research department.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Well... I'm a long-time learner. I love to learn about everything.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: If you say to me, I had a friend just
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: hit me up on Facebook, and he's a financial guy.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: He does derivatives. And he was like, if you want,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I can explain it to you, even though it's really boring.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, of course I want to know about it.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I want to learn everything, you know, like you have
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: one life here. So for me, when I come up
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: with ideas like the new menopause kitchen, when they asked
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: me to write this book for them, I had to
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: go back and do my research on because it's been
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: a while. I've been out of medical school for so long.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I had to go back and read about, you know,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: hormones and endocrinology and menopause. And then I had to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: do the research on the food. So, yes, when I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: have new ideas, I love the research part of it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: because it not just reeducates me, but it grounds me
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: and what I want to help people with.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you where I'm seeing a lot of people
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: get lost at the grocery store and it seems like
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: everything has protein in it. And sure enough, dude, I
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: put my nose inside your book right away trying to
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: figure out if this diet drink over here really needs
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: to have protein in it. I just think that there
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are so many false gods in that grocery store that
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think that we get in the book, get what
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: you're saying, and play the path right.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting you mentioned protein. So protein is one
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: of the midlife power nutrients because, number one, not enough
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: women or men, by the way, are consuming enough protein.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Number two, we need protein to be able to maintain
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: and to grow our muscles. Number three, women during menopause.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: tend to experience something called sarcopenia, which is muscle loss.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And the reason that's problematic because when you lose muscle,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: guess what happens? Your metabolism slows down and you also
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: increase the chance of having joint pain and falls and
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: all kinds of other issues. So more protein and doing
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: some resistance training. There's an exercise program in the book
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: along with the 10 week nutrition plan is an exercise plan.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: When you consume the right amount of protein and do
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: three days of 20 minutes of resistance training, that goes
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a long way in not just maintaining, but building that
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: muscle mass.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: See, we need something inside our phone, a Dr. Ian
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: app that consistently tells us that's not protein, that's not protein.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Because my wife is that one, and I think there's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: so many millions of other women just like her that go,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I had something to eat. I had a cracker. That
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: wasn't protein. What are you talking about? But you know
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. They feel like, oh, I had
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a bite of an apple. That's not protein.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. No, people, it's interesting, and I don't fault people,
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: but people just don't sometimes understand the basics. And what
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I try to do in my books, and in this book,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: The New Menopause Kitchen, is I try to explain to people,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: this is what calcium is. This is what it does. Mm-hmm.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: This is how much you need. This is where you
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: get it. Same thing for protein. Same thing for omega-3 fats.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I think that when people get a basic understanding of
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: these concepts, not only are they smarter, but then they
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: can be more intentional when they're going to the grocery
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: store or when they're sitting at a restaurant and choosing
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: something on the menu and they're saying themselves, okay, I'm
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: going to have the salad. but I'm going to add
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: some protein to it. I'm going to have some chickpeas
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: in my salad. I'm going to have some fish or
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: some chicken. And so that is the kind of idea
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and strategy of the book is to get people some
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: basic understanding so that they can make better decisions.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Please don't move. We'll be right back with Dr. Ian Smith.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The name of the book, The New Menopause Kitchen. It's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: not just for women. It's for the entire family. Trust me,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: you're going to be growing better You're going to be
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: feeling better. More importantly, you're going to be working closely
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: together with no walls. That's what Dr. Ian Smith really
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: does put inside these pages. What I love about your book,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: The New Menopause Kitchen, is the fact that there are
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: two times, and I can say this because I'm living it,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that you have those conversations with your daughter. When you're
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: becoming a woman and now when you're becoming somebody who's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: older than middle-aged and you're going to go through that change.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I swear to God, it's the same look in her eye.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that I saw when she was 13 years old. And
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: it's like, everything's fine. We're here. We're going to do
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this together and we're going to make it. And this
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: book is so perfect for that moment, that sandwich generation,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: because we're all going through it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we are. I'm going through it. A lot of
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: my friends are going through it. And by the way,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it's not just menopause. It's also perimenopause. And that's the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: time before menopause. And perimenopause can start, you know, in
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: your mid 40s. So, you know, it's a lot of people.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: who are going through it, which means a lot of
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: households are going through it. And I just think that
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: we are now in a moment where menopause is allowed
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: to be talked about for many years. It was a stigma.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Women were ostracized and ashamed and told that they were
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: just making it up, that it was something they should
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: just deal with. Now we can have real, honest, loving, supportive,
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: scientifically-based conversations anywhere. uh, to help women and really to
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: help the whole household because when women are happy, the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: house is happy, you know, it helps relationships. So I'm
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: really excited. The impact this book has been having and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: will have for those who read it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Well, you're also not afraid to use that word chaos.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: A lot of people like to shove it into a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: corner and never come back to it, but you're, you're
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: open with that, which allows me to even get closer
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to what you're sharing with us and to believe in, in,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: in the end results.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think that, you know, life is like
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: life is a journey, man. It's a lot of vicissitudes
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: when it comes to life, ups and downs, even for me,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, everyone. And I think that you have to
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: find that through line in the chaos. The menopausal transition
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: journey can be a very chaotic time for women and
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: for men who are supporting women, who are living with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: them or know them. And I'm hoping with this, and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: by the way, that's why I started the Facebook group.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: The Facebook group, the whole purpose of that is for
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: me to bring some calmness, to bring some information, to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: support women. for the women who are in the Facebook group,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: The New Menopause Kitchen. And I don't know. I just
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: think it has a positive impact on people.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Well, speaking of that positive, what I love about everything
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that you release, it's always got to have the best
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: recipe on the planet. It's always your dedication to your
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: wife right there at the front. I look for that
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: every single time, dude.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, she my wife is like, you know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: behind every good man is a better woman. I mean,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: my wife is my sounding board. She talks to me
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: off the ledge. You know, she she's right. I always
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: say my wife is right. Ninety five percent of the
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: time because she is. And so, yeah, I do all
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: this work because she's there supporting me, advising me, telling
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: me don't do that. It makes it's really helpful for me.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And I'm happy to acknowledge that.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Can we challenge influencers right now? Because there are 55
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: different recipes in this. And I challenge them to really
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: take the time to dig into this and to create
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: weekly meal plans. Because you give us every ingredient that
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we need to feel great, look great, and to think straight.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And it's all right here. We just got to get
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: those influencers to live it and to activate it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting. So Rachel Ray wrote the recipes in
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the book. They're awesome. And I said to her, she's
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: a very good friend of mine. I said, Rachel, could
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you do me a favor? I said, I have these
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: nutrients that would help women during midlife menopause. Could you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: take these nutrients, these power nutrients and incorporate them in
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: foods that that will be good in recipes. And she
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: did it. And it's typical Rachel. They're affordable. They're easy.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: They're very tasty. And I'm just hoping people will enjoy
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: making the recipe. Think about it. There's 50 plus, you know,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: once or twice a week, make a new recipe. It's fun.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: The whole family can eat it. It's not just for women.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: They're not women recipes. They're just good, tasty recipes.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Well, you're also not afraid to talk about when estrogen dips.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where, you know, you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: talked about, you know, that when she's happy, we're all happy. Well,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: when estrogen dips, we all dip. And that's one of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: those things where it's like we've got to work together
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: to rebuild this platform and grow. And just the fact
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that you're being so honest with us on these pages.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, estrogen is a big player and that's
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: why it's a real, there's real biological and physiological underpinning
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: to the symptoms that women experience. It's not a figment
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of their imagination. And estrogen, of course, which is so
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: important for the woman's reproductive years, well... When you go
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: through perimenopause and menopause, it starts to decline dramatically. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the idea now, though, is that for some of these symptoms,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: we call them vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Some of those symptoms can be counteracted with something called
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: a phytoestrogen. Those are estrogen like compounds found in plants.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So in chapter two, I tell you what a phytoestrogen is.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I tell you what food sources for the phytoestrogen. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: it's important to acknowledge that there's this big dip in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: estrogen and progesterone. But also, how can foods help counteract that?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: So would I be a male chauvinistic pig if I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: came out and said, I understand you're going through the
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: night sweats right now, but trust me, on the opposite side,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: every time you turn around, you're going to be saying,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I'm cold.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I'm cold.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Because it seems like being cold is the opposite side
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of menopause. How do we deal with that as well?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It's not just the heat. It's the cold.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: That's right. And the best way to do it is
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: when a woman says she's cold, accept that she's cold
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: and make the adjustments. When she says that she's hot,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: make the adjustment. These are real things. And the best
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: thing that partners can do is acknowledge it and be supportive.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: When my wife says we're sitting watching TV in the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: bedroom and she's saying that she is so hot. and
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I am freezing, you know what I do? I go up,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I turn the air down, and I put on a sweater.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: That's it. A sweatshirt. That's it. That's the best way
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: to do it, is just to be responsive and make
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the adjustments.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't want to be my dad. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that's what I think I really love most about this, Doctor,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is the fact that you, for guys, you don't have
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: to be your dad. That you can physically get involved
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: emotionally with those around you that are going through this.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I just feel like if you love your spouse,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: your partner, whoever, if you really love them, this is
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: very challenging for them. It's not fun. They don't want
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it to happen. They didn't make it happen. So if
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: you really love them, then help them get through it.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It's just like if someone fell down. broken ankle and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: that you need to help them walk sometimes or get
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: into the car this is the same thing you know
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: a woman going through perimenopause and post and menopause you
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: know being helpful and supportive and understanding listening to them
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: not chastising or disparaging them that goes a long way
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: for women.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Your book is so helpful to me, the grocery store guy.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I do work at one, and I am facing people
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: every day, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan. This is such a
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: tool for me because when they're coming to me for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: any type of answers, your book is what I'm going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to be pointing them toward. You've got to go to
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the book. You'll understand where you are inside a grocery store.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, the new idea, one of the big
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: ideas behind the new menopause kitchen is that I want
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: people to take this book and say, OK, these are
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: the foods I need. Yep. These are the recipes I
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: can make and literally go shopping with the book and
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: pick what you want. And I think that that's going
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: to be very helpful for people.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: You know the way it is, doctor. You don't even
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: have to go to the dang store anymore. Just do
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: it online. Just order it. Just sit there. Be in
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: the book at home. Order it while you're in the
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: book at home. Go pick it up or have them
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: deliver it. It is such the perfect time to have
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: this book in our hands before the holiday season.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is. It's simple. It's easy. It's doable. And
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I think that what the idea is that women will
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: become empowered, that someone hit me up on Instagram and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: they said, Dr. Ian, I have an advanced copy of
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: your book. And I now feel like I have more control.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: And by the way, for those listening, if you want
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: to hit me up on Instagram. It's at Dr. Ian Smith,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: spell the doctor out, I-A-N Smith. But the woman said
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to me, I just feel so empowered now. She said before,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: I felt like this is it. I was resigning myself
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: to all these things. And now I feel like there's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: something I can do. And that to me is gold.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Speaking of empowerment, the book cover, yellow. You chose that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: for a reason, didn't you? Because power is in yellow.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: And I felt it the moment that I saw it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted it to feel like you're powerful, feel
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: like you're happy, to pop out instead of being a
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: dark kind of drab color. I want it to be
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: bright and light because women have to understand that this
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: is the time of their life to be positive and
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: upbeat and don't look at it as a time of
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: like resigning themselves to this is the end. My life
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is never going to be the same. Have a much different,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: more optimistic perspective.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Aren't you a wiser man by putting this book together
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: and to go through it yourself? I mean, because I mean,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: these are things that they don't teach you in high school.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: No, no. I feel, you know, like every book, I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: feel like when I do my research, I learn so much.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: it makes me better this book in particular by the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: way made me a better spouse it made me more
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: sensitive made me more understanding.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: See we need taylor sift to write us a love
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: song then that's what it is.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: If you don't tell tell taylor i need a love
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: song written on a new menopause kitchen.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Dude, you got to come back to this show anytime
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: in the future. In fact, I expect to hear from
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you sometime in January or February. Can we look forward
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: to that?
