Because I think that none of us knew this.

Yeah.

Because at 17, I wasn't that interested in having a baby.

So it didn't occur to me that I should care.

Right.

Right.

And it's the only time.

If you're thinking about it in that way that you're worried about your period is if you don't have one and pregnancy, right?

And so if we're shifting the conversation to this is physiology, this has to do with every part of female physiology.

maybe it will be easier for people to know, right?

No, but based on what you just said, I just took a phone call this morning from a patient when, and it's just such a typical conversation, she doesn't like the way her body looks.

Her solution is not to eat.

This happens almost every day when I'm talking to people.

We're having coffee for breakfast.

We don't eat till midday when we do eat.

So the gut reaction, because of the way many women are raised, is that we're going to starve ourselves, which is the opposite of good when it comes to physiologic wholeness.

And then you don't have the energy to do the kind of exercise you need.

Or on the other side, the response is, I am going to work so hard every single day that you actually increase your stress.

There is overload.

overtraining.
