Adrenarche

And, um, they can, they can be operative.

And if people wanna look up an interesting thing, look up, uh, adrenarche, so A-D-R-E-N-A-R-C-H-E. Um, it's like menarche, right? Like the coming of menses, but it's the male side of that.

And, and so between six and eight, for instance, is a time when there can be some shots of hormones, and it's this period.

Huh.

And here's the important part.

Adrenarche is not the same thing as true puberty.

True puberty starts somewhere totally different.

So where? It starts in the brain.
