Gary Brecka explains how hormonal changes during perimenopause, which can start in your 30s, deplete the raw materials your body needs for both emotional stability and bone density. Weak bones predict shorter lifespan, and the mood swings women experience aren't separate from bone loss, they're symptoms of the same hormonal depletion.
For women. When you think of emotion, it's like your hormones are signaling molecules. When your emotions are off and your mood is off, you're not developing a mental disorder, a mood disorder.
You're missing raw materials. It's very analogous to bone.
Most women in their 30s are even thinking about this. Even in perimenopause, there's got to be connection between hormonal depletion, perimenopause, and loss of bone density.
Two million men in the United States have osteoporosis. The way testosterone interacts with the bone. I mean, men will see osteoporosis at 50, if you have a metabolic disease, and women have a 30% chance of dying in the first year. And then if you do survive it 50% of the time, you'll never be independent again. But the reality is, bone health, as I've alluded to, begins in our teenage years. Understand that it's almost a harbinger of total health.
