And that's what we're trying to get people to intervene there before it gets too bad.

And I see a large number of women who do fall into that zone where they are trying their hardest to be healthy, but what they are choosing to do is actually having a negative impact on their hormonal health and how their brain is interpreting their hormones.

And it's very rare to see that in a man.

Meaning the number one reason why I will see low testosterone is purely because many men are taking testosterone or because of other exogenous factors like marijuana use.

It is very rarely my brain is not sending out the signals to cause my testicles to make testosterone.

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.

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 over-training.

It's always under-recovering.

But the balance is wrong.

They're not recovering.

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.
