Heroin chic.

Yes, heroin chic, which is the worry now with the GLP-1s coming back and the ballerina body and all the things that we're seeing come back again.

And it is worrisome.

Yeah, the fit and forgets.

In some of the nutrition research, finding that low iron and low vitamin D are huge contributors to it.

So there's that research to investigate too, which is interesting because there are some women also who don't want to go on SSRI or estradiol.

So this is where wearables come into play.

Yeah.

So wearables are not designed to capture women's physiology.

So what happens after ovulation is your respiratory rate goes up, your resting heart rate goes up, and your HRV plummets.

So on the wearables, most women about five days before their period start will never be in a

the clear so to speak they will never look recovered they will never look like they can take on a lot of stress they're not stress resilient because of the way the algorithms are reading this change that is natural that is produced by progesterone to alter our respiratory rate and our heart rate it doesn't mean that she's not stress resilient is what the wearable is saying

This is why we do not let athletes use wearables leading up to a peak event because they feed into what the wearables are telling them.

And it's not true data with regards to how their body can actually perform.

Exactly.

I've always been pushing for the past five or six years interacting with wearable companies.

It's like, if you want to capture it well, then you need to be able to compare follicular to follicular and luteal to luteal.

So comparing...

Yes, definitely helpful.

But no, then it comes back again on the woman trying to understand and interpret the data herself.
