Memorable Quotes:
"Sulforaphane opens up some 200 pathways. It's like opening all the doors. It unclogs all the drains. It pulls up all the manhole covers. It just opens and says, get out. You can go now. And it's great for your detoxification pathways. Not just estrogen, but chemicals and toxicants and other hormones that just need to go, medications that are on their way out, all those things." [00:13:35] – Dr. Carrie Jones
"I feel a lot of empathy for all the women everywhere, because you and I are in this field. So, we know what's going on biologically, physiologically. But if you have no idea, I 100% empathize with you. I know it can feel rough. And I know in medicine, it's not very well talked about or told about. And so even if you go to your OBGYN, you know, they may be more focused on the younger baby years. That's what their expertise in. They are not an expert yet in perimenopause and menopause. And so, it can be really frustrating." [00:32:18] – Dr. Carrie Jones
