Three to 75% of women do not get the treatment for perimenopause and menopause that they deserve. And women are asking, why is it that I can't manage stress the way I once did? Why do I have this belly fat that appeared out of nowhere? And my usual techniques for how to deal with that aren't working. Why would I rather mop before and have sex with my husband. But there's more than a hundred plus symptoms that women aren't aware of. But you believe many of the symptoms of menopause are avoidable? Yes. And let's get into that. Dr. Sarah Sal is the Harvard trained physician and hormone expert who's unlocking the science and simple tricks behind feeling your best, no matter your age. Most people have imbalanced hormones. Think of them as text messages that your body sends to keep everything functioning optimally. But for example, out of the 40,000 people I've tested and treated, around 90% of them have a problem with their cortisol hormones. And if my body's making too much cortisol, what is the harm? It's associated with more bell fat. We know that it shrinks the brain in women, but not

Then it's associated with depression, but also if you're someone who's making a lot of cortisol, you're gonna make less testosterone. And that leads to a whole host of serious problems. And what about trauma? Does that impact your hormones? Oh yes. And one of the ways to measure trauma is the ACE test. It's a validated questionnaire, and they found that people who had one or higher ACE scores had a greater risk of forty-five different chronic diseases. And my score is six out of ten. But those aces are living on in your body. And you went on a journey to heal yourself. Yes, with lifestyle medicine, not pharmaceutical. Tell me about that, Johnny.
