Yeah, absolutely. We see that women who go into the sauna get better control over things like hot flashes because it's all about temperature and temperature control. So if the blood going through the brain is really hot, it understands, hey, this is what hot is and can then have subsequent peripheral changes for controlling heat and understanding heat as well as central changes to understand heat.

We want a higher protein intake, of course, because as we get older, we become more anabolically resistant to protein. So that means our body isn't responding as much to the amino acids. So we need a higher dose to invoke muscle protein synthesis and bone regeneration, nerve regeneration.

Also knowing that the recommended daily allowance that's out there for protein, especially for women, is based on sedentary older men. So it's not really adequate for what we're looking for. So we want higher incidence of protein at regular intervals across the day. And again, taking care of that gut microbiome. So we want a lot of colorful fruit and veg.

That also helps with blood glucose control, as well as creating that diversity so that we are able to reduce the amount of bacteria that is responsible for storing body fat. We want to have that great amount of diversity of gut microbiomes or great diversity of the gut microbiome to have more of the bacteria that says, hey, you know what? We want more lean mass. We want to have less body fat.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Why do you... Say something different. Yeah. I got a lot of my chops in menopause work through the Women's Health Initiative. And I'm not going to apologize for that cohort because this study was designed to look at older women going through menopause and does it work. So there's a whole issue around WHI and other things.

But when we look at specifically women who are going through menopause or perimenopause into menopause, we're not looking to replace hormones. We're looking at a therapy to attenuate change. If we're looking at hormone replacement, that could be thyroid. That could be a premature ovarian failure that we need to have some estrogen progesterone.

We're looking at menopause and perimenopause in itself. We're looking at using a hormone dose that is a very low physiologic level so that we don't have symptomology. So the body is not going to have vasomotor symptoms and is not going to have mood changes and is not going to really have an incredible amount of body composition change.

If we're replacing hormones, people have the idea that it's going to be the same physiologic level as when we were in our reproductive years. And that's not the case.

Yeah, that we are replacing our hormones to stay young and be in our reproductive years. So we look at Western society, and I like to use the cast of Friends as an example from, you know, 90s to now, right?
