But wouldn't it have been better to start out with the maximum?

so that the natural decline doesn't take you into dangerous levels.

For my youngest daughter,

I was worried about, she was a dancer also.

She was teeny tiny, so tiny, even though she had great muscle mass, but she, like me, wasn't having periods.

And so the advice was to put her on birth control to regulate periods.

But I was always uncomfortable with that because she didn't, to be a dancer, she didn't have to be quite as tiny as she was.

And so what we've done now is I've encouraged her to gain a little weight

and get a little bit more body fat.

Because I took her off of that, she only had to gain five pounds, I think I said to you, maybe seven.

And it has more regulated her.

And she's having her own periods now.

And so I don't know what she's going to decide.

She's going to be 18 soon.

But I think what we should be telling our daughters is all the information so that they can make an educated decision.

Because I just did what I was told.

And I'm a doctor, but I'm not an OB, so I don't understand the nuances of what the pill is, that it's synthetic, that this is how it works, this is what it doesn't do.

So I would want to give my daughters all the information so that they can make an educated decision.

There are apps for that you can try.

So wearables data masters then need to segregate populations and make new norms for women and maybe new norms for different fitness levels of women.
