Dr. Betty Murray argues menopause is chemical castration: ovaries exhaust their egg supply from oxidative stress, causing sudden estrogen loss. Women experience the same symptoms as castrated men—depression, anxiety, hot flashes, bone loss, cognitive decline—but the medical system offers few solutions.
Men at the same age as a 50-something-year-old woman in menopause have more estrogen than you do. Menopause is equivalent to castration, right? So I promise you, any man experienced castration, especially not by choice, cuz again, we can't control whether we go through menopause, we would be up in arms. $2.8 billion wouldn't even be close to the amount of money that the medical system would pay to figure out how to reverse that. So men don't go through castration. And guess what? We already know what happens in men in castration. Depression, anxiety, hot flashes, loss of bone mass, loss of muscle mass, cognition problems, no sexual activity, on and on and on and on. Right? So menopause is a castration event. Yes. It's a castration event that happens to us naturally because our ovaries run outta eggs because of the oxidative stress. And we burn through lots and lots of eggs each month. It's not like just one gets utilized. Thousands get, get basically used up every month until we're out. So menopause is like a chemical castration, right?
