So there are different nuances in the way that your body responds to the heat and is able to accommodate for those heat shifts versus a man can just go in and accommodate for that and be ready for the race.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

It's pretty varied.

Exercise physiology and metabolism.

And then got into ultra running when I was doing my master's at Springfield. And then I started getting into more Ironman distance stuff before I started my PhD.

Yeah. So that was my master's.

Yeah. So that was my master's.

That again was exercise, phys and metabolism.

So my PhD was looking at differences between men and women in heat performance and how you acclimatize to it and how you hydrate for it, as well as looking between menstrual cycle phases and oral contraceptive pill use in women. And again, all of these topics were designed because of questions I had for myself or teammates had. And then from PhD, I went to Stanford and was working –

in the high-performance lab and then moved over to do a postdoc with Marcia Stefanik, who was the PI for the Women's Health Initiative. So looking at hormone replacement therapy in menopausal women, but also looking at exercise as a cohort to that. And I had another hand in the high performance research in human biology. So I would mesh human performance with public health.

And then that transcend into a lot of the stuff that I do now, looking at what can we do, taking some of the ideas from high performance and apply it to general population.
