Because I think what we're going to do is, if I was to hypothesize, we're going to see the big data at WHOOP. Support what we're seeing in in lab values and whatnot for for women. So better for them to just restrict their calories over a longer period of time and to pile them in into a very shortened window.

And what we also see on the labs is, you know, the pituitary, which actually regulates our thyroid, our metabolism is also regulating the menstrual cycle. It's releasing luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone. And men and women, by the way. So these are regulating the production of testosterone, they're regulating the cycle, how they go from ovulation to follicular to luteal phase.
