There's a horrible statistic that I want to back up with what you just said that 4000 women a day are entering menopause , meaning entering pre menopause per menopause of those people with many studies that they've shown about 19% know what's going on the rest , don't . So how are they gonna ask their partners to support them when they don't know themselves , know the signs of moodiness of a physical change in your body , whether it's lack of sex drive or , or dry vagina , which is a huge issue . Now that we know Viagra is running the show , you've got these big boats coming into the harbor and the women have no water .

Nobody wants to talk about it . But we need a support system and you are now creating the support system through pause . I want to ask you something in this dialogue is when you say we don't talk about it , we joke about it , don't we ?

Deborah Pardes

Yes . But we don't support one another . We don't talk about , hey , look , I'm taking this and this is really helping me or , hey , have you tried this or ?

I mean , that's amazing . Honestly , approaching 40 is difficult for so many reasons as a woman , but I find myself lost like all my friends and there's nowhere to really go and get the answers and there's so many answers we're afraid to ask . There's a horrible statistic that I want to back up with what you just said that 4000 women a day are entering menopause , meaning entering pre menopause per menopause of those people with many studies that they've shown about 19% know what's going on the rest , don't .

But we're not the same kind of , no , two bodies are the same , which is another issue about , about health care . A doctor will shrug their shoulders and say , well , everybody is different and that sort of breeds this culture of like , since everyone's different , we're not going to throw research money on flat flashes because some women don't have it . Why we spend lots of money and most of the purse chains , the purses are held by a lot of men who don't see it as an important issue .
