So we have a lot of heavy lifting to do another statistic that I just learned that I'm so upset about and you're gonna help me feel through it . We , we actually talked about this in our last podcast , which is that Johns Hopkins did a study that Forbes did a uh uh article about uh in 2019 just recently that they interviewed um doctors in residency programs and the OBGYN specialty , only 20% of the programs cover menopause . So 80% of these doctors are saying we're not prepared to talk about it So imagine 80% of the Ob Gyn in this country , don't ask you .
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 . 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 .
It's a conversation coming and our friends , we don't talk about it . It's not , nobody wants to talk about hot flashes or dry vagina or feeling like shit . Nobody wants to talk about it .
It's a huge issue . So let's say I'm tuning in and I'm listening to pause and you're talking about , you know , the early signs of menopause and I have a question I can call in and you'll answer my question , you can't call in because it's not live streaming , it's live audience . But the good thing about that is we know how social media works .
