00:00Mom! When did you go through menopause?
00:0345!
00:04Oh, sh**.
00:09What do you think perimenopause is?
00:11Ooh!
00:12Smooth swings.
00:13Hot flashes.
00:14Hot flashes.
00:16It's just hot flashes and night sweats
00:18is the biggest crack of sh** that's ever been delivered to people.
00:21We are harming women.
00:25My name is Saadvi Sidhali Sri.
00:27I'm a Jane Monk and apparently I'm in perimenopause.
00:32So menopause is one day in your life, medically.
00:35You should begin noticing perimenopausal symptoms
00:37between the ages of 35 and 45.
00:41The depression.
00:42Brain fog.
00:43Can't sleep at night.
00:45Bones hurt.
00:46No sex drive.
00:47She's not the same person.
00:48She was crazy.
00:49Well, was she really?
00:50It's so empty and it's so lonely
00:52and you feel like there's nothing out there.
00:54You really suffer and you don't know how to communicate
00:57because you don't know what's happening.
00:59I feel steady in my soul.
01:00I feel peaceful in my soul.
01:02But why is my body, why is my mind
01:06becoming an enemy to me?
01:08It's your hormones.
01:14There is practically no estrogen in your system.
01:18Oh, lo and behold, of course, this is perimenopause.
01:21What does a treatment plan look like?
01:24A generation of women has been disadvantaged
01:27by not being offered hormone therapy.
01:30There was this big fear.
01:31Oh my gosh, hormones cause cancer.
01:34No, we're not going to fool around with estrogen
01:36because this is dynamite.
01:37They're dangerous.
01:38That is just not true.
01:40You're really defying Mother Nature's plan for you.
01:43If you are a woman hot flashing your way to a divorce right now,
01:46wouldn't you like to know that there is just a 0.1% chance actually?
01:58Do I have to be on hormones for the rest of my life?
02:00Can there be other ways, like natural ways through food?
02:04We have to teach the journey so that we're adequately prepared.
02:09Unless we get in front of this, frailty is our destiny.
02:12It's going to take a generation of women that stands up and says,
02:16not me.
02:17.
