Most of the time we're lifting, we're hitching our shoulders. If we're thinking about dropping our traps and we're using our back muscles to pick something up and then extending through the hips to lift it up, we're reducing the load in our shoulders and in that rotation. which reduces the whole onset of injury or soft tissue damage that can perpetuate injury.

All the glute work where you're thinking about deadlifts, you're thinking about Romanian deadlifts, you're thinking about hip or glute bridges, hip thrusts, all of those things, right? And really focusing on getting the hips strong. And a lot of other things that can perpetuate it is we have weak and tight hip flexors.

So really working on developing that hip flexor strength so we can lift the hip and the leg up and over instead of stumbling.

Yeah, definitely. Yeah, absolutely. And it's scary because the conversation has not been out there. And now it's a buzzword and everybody's grabbing onto it. And there's a lot of misinformation that's being spread. And...

from a scientific point of view where I've been in the whole perimenopause, menopause research world for 15 or so years to all of a sudden see the conversation out there and people are misconstruing a lot of the research or they're in one camp bucket of pharmaceuticals or one camp bucket of suffering through it and none of it's actually right. And then there's just so much, it's just so noisy.

Exactly. Exactly. That's it. Yeah. And I'm finding that a lot of the and I don't want to put people on the bus, but unfortunately, those with some of the loudest microphones tend to not stay in their lane. And what I mean by that is like if you're an endocrinologist or you're a medical specialist and you understand things like hormone therapy, then talk about that.
