I struggle with that. I struggle with that too. Sometimes I'll catch that gremlin in my mind that's like, you're not doing enough. You're not... I'm like, oh, oh, oh, there you are. So we all struggle with that. I think that that's a universal... I don't want to say everyone, but I would say most women that I have spoken to, and that just might be me attracting other me's to my into my life.

But most women struggle with that kind of, you know, self, you know, depreciating self-talk. I think that we're taught to hate ourselves. I think that we're taught like, you're never going to be pretty enough or smart enough or capable enough or successful enough or... a good enough mother, a good enough doctor, whatever category, you're never going to be enough unless you do this next thing.

Unless you buy this mascara, unless you have this bag, unless you live in this house, you drive this car, you marry this type of person, you wear these types of clothes. There's always this external dangling carrot that we've been brought up on.

And I think that, you know, you've really been a really good, you know, sort of demonstrably shown that you can really, in many ways, unhitch that need to have that external validation and really start to look within for your own internal validation. That's been certainly my journey, but do I completely never get bothered when someone says something online or do I completely...

Am I the recipient or the observer of that voice? Is it she speaking to me or can I just observe that voice and say, huh, well, that's interesting. I wonder why that voice is coming up. Is she trying to protect me? Is there something fearful? Why is that voice coming here? I know she wants to keep me safe and keep me small, but why is she trying to do that? So I just take her to the gym.

Sure. Yeah. I like you very much a protein first or protein forward style of eating. I think this is maybe the one macronutrient requirement that changes as we age.

We do need to be consuming more protein because we tend to become more what's called anabolic resistant, which means the muscle just doesn't like to grow as much as you were saying in menopause and beyond as it does when we are in our fertile years and our reproductive years. So, protein, definitely like to consume maybe more protein than what, certainly more protein than what the RDA.
