This YouTube video (by Robert Whitfield MD) discusses why people in their early 30s should not accept symptoms like low libido, fatigue, hair loss, and digestive problems as "getting old" or perimenopause. Whitfield emphasizes these are abnormal at that age, urges patients to question narratives on social media, and recommends seeking appropriate medical evaluation rather than assuming normal aging.

I mean, I have people come in their 30s and they have zero libido. Like, I'm like, okay, so why? Why. You know, that's not normal. And I have women all the time come in. It's like, I just thought, you know, I just thought I was going through, you know, perimenopause. Like, you're in your early 30s. That's not perimenopause at all. That's. That's ridiculous. Like, your hair is falling now. You have no energy, no sex drive, your guts a mess. Like, no, that's not right. That's not how that works. So.
Right.
When you have those things early on. And I, you know, like I said, I'm 55. When I hear somebody who in their early 30s says, I just thought I was getting old, that's laughable.
Right? But there. Yeah. There's so many things being put out there on social and all the things and all these narratives, and there's a lot of things and layers going on. But regardless, I think as we stated, you should be asking why.
Yeah.
Instead of like, like questioning it like that's not normal, or putting a story behind it. Like, I think you should still question if you want.
In your early 30s, if you think you're getting old, that's. You need to go find someone else to help you with whatever it is that you're experiencing, because that is not getting old for all your listeners. Your early 30s is not old.
Yeah, I would love to. And we're going to get into solutions soon because I'm trying to get, like, lay the land of how does somebody like. Or what to look for when there could be possible BII to address. But I want to get a bunch in, so kind of.
