Mm-hmm.

"A sleeping pill is not the answer." And I was very lucky.

I was invited by my friend to go to the very first longevity conference in the world, and there I was, second seminar, second slide, "Women without progesterone frequently have insomnia." I tested myself, and I ended up having no progesterone whatsoever.

Went to see a compounding pharmacist, had it made for me, and slept like a baby in four days and honestly have ever since.

I am a power sleeper.

So it is really-

Yeah.

So everybody had to have an IV or it didn't work.

up on a

livestock and grain farm in West Central Illinois in Macoupin County, kind of the corner of Macoupin, Green, and Morgan.

Grew up showing livestock, sheep in particular, and wanted to be involved in ag.

And at that time, really, it was some barriers for women in those days.

So Even to the extent of girls and boys clubs were separate for 4-H when I was growing up.

It took Title IX to pass in my high school before we were allowed to be involved in FFA.

So all the time... showing livestock and being involved that way, but wanting to be more involved.

And I love that.
