00:00:00
So in this part of the conversation I
00:00:01
want to talk about exercise, nutrition,
00:00:03
fasting, lifestyle, sleep, environmental
00:00:05
factors. And the first question is why
00:00:06
does muscle matter as a woman in
00:00:08
particular?
00:00:09
Muscle matters because it helps your
00:00:11
brain produce more neurons and that's
00:00:13
super important for brain health. As far
00:00:16
as protection as we age, it's directly
00:00:18
correlative to the amount of muscle that
00:00:20
we have. And if you have something like
00:00:22
PCOS or endometriosis, it's even more
00:00:25
important for you because building
00:00:26
muscle is going to fight insulin
00:00:28
resistance and inflammation.
00:00:29
I've got two questions to ask. Should
00:00:31
women exercise differently across the
00:00:33
menstrual cycle? And what is the reason
00:00:34
why women hear what you guys say and
00:00:36
they don't do it?
00:00:38
I'm so glad we're having this
00:00:39
conversation because for women forever
00:00:41
it was all about aesthetics. I'm
00:00:42
healthy. I'm thin. Because they are
00:00:44
under the assumption through
00:00:45
socioultural ideas that a woman is
00:00:47
coming to the gym to lose weight, not to
00:00:49
get strong, not to gain muscle. But what
00:00:51
we've ended up with is an epidemic of
00:00:53
osteoporosis and frailty and really
00:00:54
dementia
00:00:55
where 40 to 50% of women will have low
00:00:57
bone density. 70% of all hip fractures
00:00:59
happen in women and when you have that
00:01:02
30% of the time you have a chance of
00:01:04
dying in one year
00:01:05
because most of it is based on male data
00:01:07
and I see a large number of women trying
00:01:09
their hardest to be healthy but what
00:01:11
they are choosing to do is actually
00:01:13
having a negative impact on their
00:01:15
hormonal health. And it's not your
00:01:16
fault. And this is where we have to
00:01:18
educate and it starts now.
00:01:20
Which
00:01:20
brings me to questions from the audience
00:01:22
like what's the best and healthiest way
00:01:23
to lose weight? Is there a diet for
00:01:25
fertility? Should women ask is there a
00:01:27
link between environmental toxins and
00:01:29
early menopause?
00:01:30
We think so.
00:01:30
But also, if you were to design perfect
00:01:33
workout regimes for menopause and
00:01:34
permenopause, what would you Oh, Stacy's
00:01:37
clapping. Go ahead.
