And at the time, there were reasonable hypotheses to explore.
And as scientists, we test those and then we look at the data and we form our opinions based on the data.
As a woman, if I honestly thought there were things we should do differently to optimize our results, of course I would be doing them myself and telling other women to do them too.
The narrative that women need a sex-specific program or nutrient timing guidance or a particular intensity of exercise or rep range or all of it.
It makes women feel like they're being spoken to and being considered and they're in their part of this community instead of, oh, you know, just do what your boyfriend does or what your husband does.
So the narrative is very much, we know this works for men, but women are not men.
And so obviously women need something different.
The data says...
men and women respond to exercise very similarly.
I think the fitness space is so saturated that a lot of people think they need to kind of reinvent the wheel or that message that you and I have discussed, which is consistent, effective, progressive training.
That's not exciting enough.
That doesn't give you the edge.
And so you need something else.
And that something else is often
misinformation or something that just over complicates everything and makes, but when it's more complicated, people are convinced that you know something they don't.
And that's why misinformation spreads.
And I'll say this, when I explored menstrual cycle phases, yes, I was interested in, would there be differences in these different hormone profiles?
But the other reason, the more exciting take home from the fact that there was no difference is one of the biggest reasons why we don't have as much data in female participants is because of the challenge associated with
standardizing the testing and the training and the recruitment for people with equal length phases and standardizing ovulation timing and excluding people who are on contraceptives.
It adds in a whole study on top of a study.
