Women face major health gaps: hormonal illiteracy among patients and doctors, evolutionary mismatches in modern life, and mounting physical, emotional, and chemical stressors that most people don't understand or address.
There are two major issues that are going on for women. One is this illiteracy problem. I can't tell you how many women that I've talked to that don't even understand when estrogen comes in during their cycle, when progesterone. Most women don't know that they get testosterone in a big way only at one point of their whole cycle. So we have this lack of knowledge, not only with women, but doctors, like you said, as well. But then we are in an evolutionary mismatch. with our hormones. So we have more physical stressors, emotional stressors, chemical stressors. The world is packed, as you know, with endocrine disruptors. And so the hormonal problems are getting bigger and bigger and bigger because the world is getting more and more toxic, not just from a chemical level, but from an emotional level. And then we don't understand ourselves. So we have this mismatch that's happening and it's creating this hot mess for women.
