Men need to spend more time in the low-intensity being able to

produce more of our fat burning capacity.

But for women doing that high intensity work and being able to produce lactate to then allow the heart and the brain to use that preferential fuel feeds forward to reducing the misstep in this

brain metabolism component that occurs and it's such a sex difference when we're seeing a change in glucose metabolism in and around perimenopause into menopause so it's a lactate production that i it's kind of the offshoot of the high intensity work that's super important for brain health

And the sociocultural component.

I keep bringing it up because I work.

Yeah.

But also, if we're looking at women who are 80, 90 years old now, their upbringing to this point is completely different than ours, meaning that the job availability and the brain stimulation they had when they were in their 30s, 40s, 50s, completely different than what we have now.

Worse.

So they didn't have necessarily the opportunity to be scientists, lawyers, medical doctors.

So they didn't have as much stimulation of brain and implications on that neuroplasticity.

So we're seeing a higher episodic issue of dementia and Alzheimer's in older women now because they didn't have the same lay down effect that we have.

now as 50-year-olds, 40, 50-year-olds, and the stimulus we have for neuroplasticity.

Yes.

Yes.

That's right.

Yeah.

Stress from both ends.

Lactate production for the win.

Lift weights.
