The brain signals it not as strong to keep that corpus luteum, what happens after the follicle, alive.

And a lot of women, I still have my period, so I'm okay.

But if we're using our cycle as a vital sign, we can actually say the ratio of energy balance is not great.

And it's often because we're doing it at sacrifice of other things.

So if you're doing the strength training three times a week,

And you're running however you're spacing out your other days.

That's such a healthy balance.

It's hard that you're going to be in a bad position with that.

And you'll actually improve your running more so than if you're to run every day or every other day.

Because if you're getting strong through full range of motion, then that feeds forward to better running economy.

Then you can vary your pace without getting injured.

But for people who are running every day and they're shuffling and they're getting stronger in their strong muscles and weaker in their weak muscles, then it perpetuates this.

And they're in my clinic.

Yeah.

Oh, welcome to my world of Texas.

There are some that are naturally predisposed to that.

So naturally predisposed to having really good running economy, running biomechanics.

having a leaner body.

And this is what we were talking about the Olympics earlier, where you can see the ideal body type for that particular sport.

And then there are those like me who build muscle naturally.
