And then it's my go-to first thing in the morning where then I'm getting my 30 grams of protein. I'm getting my caffeine. It tastes like a latte. I'm good to go. And so that's a first hit. It's a first eating opportunity to bring in some of that protein that we need. And if you're going to go do any kind of exercise, knowing that exercise mutes your appetite.

then it also helps with that recovery part because you're going to have those amino acids circulating. Your brain's going to say, hey, yeah, okay, I've got stuff to rebuild tissue. So it's a really good way of being able to have what you need without feeling over full and still enjoying some of the good things of life like coffee.

There's a few things to unpack there. So first we look at eating opportunities because there's so many women who are one, trying to lose weight or two, already in the fitness space and following some of the trends that don't eat enough. So if you aren't eating enough, you're not going to actually change your body composition. So we look at eating opportunities.

First thing in the morning, 30 grams of protein, boom, that's an eating opportunity that you're not really feeling overly full, but it's such a great benefit to the body and you're ahead of the game by having 30 grams of protein. We also look at some of the newer research that's coming out about our circadian rhythms or how our body goes through 24-hour cycle.

And for people who break their fast regularly, by around 8 a.m., and then they don't eat after 6 p.m., have all these great metabolic outcomes that you would expect from, quote, intermittent fasting. But we see that people who hold a fast till noon or after don't get any of that benefit. So if we look, well, why, why is that?

We have to understand that half an hour after a woman wakes up, we have a spike in cortisol. That's our stress hormone. If we don't have food to tell the brain to drop that, then we stay in this heightened stress state. And what cortisol is responsible for is that fight or flight, but also providing fuel for being able to fight or flight.

So the first thing that goes is we start chewing into our lean mass, which is bone and muscle, and a signal to keep our body fat, especially as we start to get older.
