So these are little hormone and feedback molecules that go from the skeletal muscle to the liver and the storage area of body fat and says, you know what? We don't need to store body fat. We don't need to take these circulating molecules. fatty acids and make them visceral fat. We need to use them and store them in really active tissue.

So the aspect of doing those three things is the mainstay during perimenopause is to benefit body composition, our metabolic health, our cardiovascular health, and then most importantly, our brain health. Because if we're doing strength training and creating neural pathway plasticity, we're doing lactate training to improve brain metabolism.

Then again, we are able to support the brain when it is starting to lose the receptor sensitivity of estrogen, progesterone, because we don't have those sex hormones anymore.

When you look at those classes, it feeds into the mentality that we've grown up with where you have to feel smashed, absolutely smashed and burnt out when you finish a class to make it worth anything because it's about the, quote, calorie burn and the smash aspect. I think Orange Theory even has splat points or something like that, trying to navigate how hard it is.

But the length of those classes and the speed at which those movements are done is really a precursor for injury with how fast the movements are underweight. And you can't really recover well enough to hit that 80 plus percent for your interval. Because if you're looking at a 45 to an hour long class, you cannot hold high intensity for that long. That puts you in moderate intensity.

Now, the problem with moderate intensity is our bodies, when we're perimenopausal, are already under a significant amount of sympathetic stress. So this means we're tired but wired. We have a really difficult time coming down from that anxiety and that boredom. awakeness, flight or fight sensation, and moderate intensity perpetuates that.

When we look at what it does from a metabolic standpoint, it doesn't have a post-exercise response that true high intensity does of increasing growth hormone and testosterone that drops cortisol. So when we're doing this moderate intensity stuff, we end up with a higher circulating amount of cortisol, which becomes our new baseline. And we don't get any of the metabolic change.
