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