But have you seen a correlation of if your mom went through similar things and, you know, the daughter goes through similar sort of menopause?
18:21
Certainly, we know the timing is pretty similar.
18:24
So it seems to be genetically determined.
18:27
And so when your mum goes through menopause, if she indeed did and and you know that history, then it's pretty closely tied.
18:37
And, yeah, I would certainly be looking at that because the genetics and the epigenetics are there and be thinking, okay, if that's the trajectory my mother's taken and there are things about that trajectory I don't like, then that's when you want to – certainly be paying a lot of attention.
18:58
And of course, there's a lot of chronic illness that can start to potentiate through the menopause transition.
19:07
So the risk of diabetes is higher, the risk of cardiovascular disease goes up dramatically and women tend to be protected until menopause and then they catch up rapidly through the menopause transition to where men are at.

But So how have you seen women in their 30s and early 40s? What can they sort of do now so that can optimize both the fertility hormones and really that smooth transition into menopause and longevity? So apart from what you've spoken about, is there anything else that women in their 30s and 40s need to really be doing now to optimize that sort of nice, sort of long, healthy life where we're not going through a lot of those sort of changes, like you said, Alzheimer's, dementia, and all of that?
