If you're someone who's like me, who's an exercise physiologist and a nutrition scientist and understands that and environmental stress, I talk about that. I can give a high touch on hormone therapy, but I'm not going to be a definitive person on that because that is not my area.

I'm going to refer you to Jen Gunter or Mary Claire or some of the other experts that are out there who actually know the nuances of hormone hormone therapy and how it can be applied to you as an individual.

So that's part of the confusion, too, because everyone's kind of in their silo and trying to be an expert in everything instead of saying, you know what, this is my lane and these are the things that I know. And I can talk at a high point on some of the things I don't know. But I really want you to seek out these experts who know what it is in that lane.

So as a physiologist, I'm going to explain what's happening on the undercurrent of everything. So we look at estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and they affect every system of the body.

So when we start losing the higher doses and pulses of estrogen, and we have more and more anovulatory cycles, so we don't necessarily produce progesterone, every system gets affected, specifically bone and muscle. So we'll have women who are complaining about waking up feeling squishy overnight and they can't even open like the jar of pickles because they don't have the strength.

And they're like, what's happened? That's an estrogen effect. Because when you look at how estrogen affects skeletal muscle and the feedback mechanism for strength and power development, it's in every part. It's on the satellite cell to develop more muscle fibers. It's on the nerve endings to be able to say, yep, let's create a really fast nerve conduction mechanism.

across the gap junction to be able to fire a lot of fibers to create a strong contraction. And it's also part of the contractile proteins itself to be able to grab together to create a strong contraction. So when you lose estrogen, you're losing the impetus for those three main points of strength and lean mass development. So when I start explaining this, people are like, shit, now what do I do?
