   The racket is from the menopause cocktail and the same version for men straight into the nursing home. And when I talk to people I go, it’s not too late until you’re in that nursing home. Once you’re in there, it’s too late.

Whenever I write a book, the last three, I’ve done this twice with each book

that I’ve written on hormones, I go to a nursing home. I went to one in Toronto, I went to one in Miami, same thing in both places.

You walk in all the old people are tied to their wheelchairs tied; they’re drugged on something because all their mouths are hanging open. If one yells, the whole hallway yells, and it is a most depressing place.

There’s not one person in this room who can conceive of ever ending up in a nursing home, and probably in this room, you won’t. Because you know, you get it. You’re on to it. But outside of this room, I’ll tell you; it’s a direct route. And it’s a tragedy. Here you’re doing all this incredible work so you can live longer and take advantage of this long life, and it is incredible.

Once your kids are out of the house, and they’re married and have got their own mortgage, it’s not your problem anymore; you look at your husband and go “Hey, nice. Remember me; I’ve got a sex drive because I’m on bio-identical hormones.”

And let’s not discount that. I had a couple of years there before I found this where I had no sex drive. And it was humiliating because I was sort of known in my younger years as a sex symbol, and this is terrible that this sex symbol has no sex drive. I better not tell anybody, including my husband.

Because you know we can fake it, but frankly, I’d rather have a smoothie. And then I found bio-identical hormones, and WOO WOO, wow, it’s great. You know, I talked to women, and they say I’m glad that’s over with, I’m glad I passed that, and I go you forgot, you just forgot how nice it is.

And it’s so lovely to be married at this age and not be married to someone who is looking over your shoulder when you’re dancing because there’s a sexuality between you, there’s pheromones between you, when I’m in a room I can tell who is on hormones or who still has their hormones.

We put out pheromones, you can’t see them but you can feel them around someone; there’s an electricity between people who still have their sex hormones.

It’s an incredible thing that makes for a happier life, a happier marriage, a satisfying life. Life is really wonderful from middle age on, better, really better, you don’t have all the angst of your youth, and you don’t have to worry about what you’re going to do with your life.

You’ve done it, or you haven’t done it, whatever it is, that’s that. Or, when you get on bio-identical hormones, everything peaks up again and you can start thinking or second careers; a lot of people do that.

I did that; this is about my tenth career. But it gives you the energy to regenerate yourself. I was with some people last week who are my age and a little older, and what I noticed about aging is that there are those who have energy and those who are out of gas. And that’s really the difference, it’s not about the number it’s not about the chronological age. It’s about energy. And one of the things that I’ve been practicing in my anti-aging regimen with my Dr. Gallagher is energy rejuvenation, and that is just an incredible thing.

I just came back from New York last night, I don’t know about any of you, but I was on the tarmac for about six and one-half hours But you know I thought because I’m on bio-identical hormones I’m not stressed, I’m kind of happy, I’ll just read a book, get real relaxed and I’ll think about the three years I was without hormones, and I would have been yelling at everybody.

And I saw everybody yelling at everybody, but I didn’t feel like it. And I saw that I had energy, and the people that were around me did not have any energy, and that is such a gift to be able to get that back.

You see it in older people, they’re stooped over, and every step is laborious, every thought is laborious; it takes so much energy, and they don’t have it anymore. So all of these things are incredible advantages, and that’s what you all are practicing now, and that’s advantageous medicine.

It’s an advantage to be on bio-identical hormones; it’s an advantage to be able to clean viruses out of your system, it’s an advantage to be able to build up after a trip like I will tomorrow when I go back home because I’ve been on different regimens. I want to go in and have whatever he decides, vitamin C or Glutathione, or whatever it is to build me back up again.

This is connect the dots thinking I lost energy on the trip, we’ll put it back, I lost hormones in the aging process, we’ll put it back. One of the things I run into all the time relative to bio-identical hormones is all the different ways people are doing them. Bio-identical hormones are the answer but doing them right is really the answer.

The way I feel, and this is just my opinion only is that we want to replicate nature and nature-made estrogen every day of the month in a rhythm nature made progesterone two weeks of the month. And so by replicating nature my body, my brain thinks that I’m still a reproductive person no problem I have no eggs left we really should call menopause a egglessness we’re out of eggs.

I hear women say I don’t want to get pregnant again and I say oh, don’t worry, don’t worry, eggs are interesting all of us women are born with eggs we all only get a certain amount of eggs. Some of us get more, some of us get less, but when they’re out, they’re out.

Stress uses up your hormones; you want to do things in life that minimize hormonal loss and so bio-identical hormones when given incorrectly can cause as many problems for women as the synthetics maybe not quite so dangerous.

I was with a woman last night that had a hysterectomy she’s hot flashing, her eyes were watering, and she’s talking about how she’s gaining weight, she’s not eating, and she exercises, and I said, are you on bio-identicals, and she said yes I’m on bio-identicals.

She’s on a patch that’s a static dose, and I didn’t want to get into it, and I asked what kind of progesterone are you on, and she said, I’m not on progesterone, and I asked why are you not on progesterone and she said I don’t have a uterus anymore. And I said yeah, but you have to trick the brain into believing that you still have a uterus; you should talk to your doctor about that.

Women are very confused, and one day when there’s standardization, it will be a great thing for everybody when everyone decides on static dosing, continuous combined, or rhythmic cycling. I personally do rhythmic cycling. I like the idea of mimicking early man. I like taking my estrogen a lower amount early in the month by the 12th-day peaking, then shoving in the progesterone and taking that, and I feel so great on bio-identicals

I have no hot flashing, weight is not a problem I sleep 8 to 9 hours a night, I have lots of energy, I like the way I look my brain is working great. It’s just an absolute bliss to have at my fingertips this kind of medicine.

And I know that going back to the doctors that I once went to I loved is the hard part, I loved them and everybody’s doing their best, there’s no bad people in this field, everybody’s doing their best, but I tell women when I speak to them is you are on your own right now you have to go out and find one of you.

I can only do so much with my books. You can look in the back of my books and if there’s somebody in your area go to that person. If you have to drive, if you fly to find them because it’s the first visit that’s the most important after that you can do a lot by phone calls and lab work.

But do it, find it, go out of your way. No one will be as sorry as you if you don’t do this for yourself. So this incredible thing that you’re all doing and the fact that you come to these conferences several times a year is so impressive since you’re all busy people.

You’ve all got practices, it’s hard to close down a practice for a couple of days to come to a conference but it’s so essential because I know what I’m learning and interviewing doctors for my next book and I can imagine what you’re learning.

I’ve been interviewing some amazing doctors. I interviewed Dr. Johnathan Wright a couple of weeks ago, and I said things to him like well, do we have to (my mother was blind) do we have to accept Macular Degeneration as part of the aging process? Or is it the depletion of the ozone level? Or is it a leucine deficiency? Is it a genetic predisposition? My mother was blind with Macular Degeneration for the last 15 years of her life.

He said you know you’ll be very surprised to find out where Macular Degeneration starts, I said exposure to the sun? No. He said in the stomach. I said the stomach. He said yes, as we reach middle age, we’re depleted in hydrochloric acid I find when I put the hydrochloric acid back in, we have had great success
