I like to frame it where women are under recovering, not over training.

So if we're under recovery, then it makes it more acceptable to fuel.

And I always want to bring it back to, it doesn't matter, like, because I come from high performance, I'm going to use those words where it's like, you're not recovering enough.

We want to focus on recovery on these days.

We want to make sure that you're eating and fueling around.

So it's never overtraining.

It's always under recovery.

The balance is wrong.

I hate that because it's a construct of society, right?

Especially Western society.

This is where we have to educate.

It's not your fault.

These are the things that have come into play and lined up to create this situation where

But now we have tools to offer you to take one step out of that situation.

And let's see how many more steps we can get you away from the situation to improve your health.

So this is where we really need to look at how we can use exercise and some environmental stress to create a really strong adaptive stress and a really strong recovery stress.

So if I go and I do some resistance training, some heavy lifting, I want to create a stress on my body that's going to then have a signaling cascade to repair the muscle in a stronger way.

Because lifting the muscle damages the muscle?

Yes.

And it creates a series of feedback mechanisms that make it repair stronger than when you first went in.
