CHAPTER

The Importance of Openly Discussing Women's Health

In this chapter, they discuss the importance of openly discussing women's health topics such as periods and menopause. They explain that by bringing these topics to the surface, men and women can better understand and support each other. The speaker then shifts to talking about the hormonal hierarchy and how balancing sex hormones is dependent on being insulin sensitive. They mention that cortisol, which is stress, is in charge of insulin and that various stressors like food stress, lack of sleep, and relationship stress can raise cortisol levels. They also explain that oxytocin, which is released during human connection, helps lower cortisol levels. They suggest that women are meant to be in community and connecting with each other to maintain hormonal balance.
