Hello everyone. Welcome back to another episode with the crime and copy couple. My name's

Allison. And I'm Mike. Hi, Mike. Hey, Al. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you? Oh, real good,

real good. We're really excited because Allison is going to try to get a control of her hormones somehow.

So every, you know, a control of her hormones somehow.

So every, you know, a couple weeks or whatever, we might have some crying.

Every couple of weeks, really, Mike, every couple of weeks.

Maybe every day?

No, not every day.

Every weekend?

No, maybe once a month. Okay, you're right.

Every few days, there's some problems.

And not problems, just challenges. Let's call them challenges.

I'm pretty even keeled for the most part. I'm a baseline high energy control freak person. Yeah.

It's maybe a couple of days a month. That goes a little off the charts. And then I have terrible insomnia. I'm up anywhere between 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock in the morning.

Today was 3. So it's like, I can't start my day at 3 a.m. It's just not healthy. It's not

feasible. So I'm going to talk to somebody about, who knows, I'm 45. This is hashtag, this is

perimenopause. Yeah, it sure is. And if something like an estrogen patch or a little progesterone thrown at me helps me out, why the hell not? And are you currently reading a book? Would you recommend the book at all to anybody? I finished the book. It's basically what I got from it is that it's not a matter of if you should start hormone therapy.

It's when.

And obviously, there are certain people, and I am not a doctor, and I'm certainly not a hormone

specialist.

There are certain people that can't utilize hormone therapy for whatever reason.

That would be a conversation with your doctor.
