Right

... over and over again versus a little trickle.

You know, you could flood it a little bit in the beginning.

That's not gonna hurt anything.

But, like, a little trickle every day is gonna make things work much better than this flood every-- this flood and then this drought, right? Like, you're j- you're just not gonna-- Your, your body's the same way, right? It doesn't, it doesn't wanna be on this rollercoaster ride.

And so, you know, you can cycle them a little bit in somebody who's still cycling.

So if you're perimenopausal in your, you know, 40s, you know, we'll use a lot of just progesterone and maybe some testosterone or something like that.

And Dr. Amy, wrapping up today, what's a better question that you think women can ask themselves, or maybe men too? They're getting to this point in midlife when they might need to start looking at is hormone, BHRT hormone replacement therapy, bioidentical, is this the answer for me? Or what in general would you say is a better question for them to ask about approaching midlife and their health? What would you say?

You know, what happened? What made you decide to make this shift?

Yeah.

I started out in family practice, like you said, and I love that because I was able to deliver babies and then take care of them.

So doing the full circle family thing.

And then luckily through whatever happened, the OBGYN office that was right next door, I'm in a very small town in South Carolina.

They lost a practitioner, asked me to come on board and do primary care for the women's health there.

as well as share the OB call.

So walk us through someone, how does someone go from looking for someone to help them with their organization hormones or their health issues to finding you, to becoming a patient, to becoming a member.
