Why does muscle matter for women?
So in this part of the conversation, I want to talk about exercise, nutrition, fasting, lifestyle, sleep, environmental factors. And the first question is, why does muscle matter as a woman in particular?
Muscle matters because it helps your brain produce more neurons. And that's super important for brain health.
As far as protection as we age, it's directly correlative to the amount of muscle that we have. And if you have something like PCOS or endometriosis, it's even more important for you because building muscle is going to fight insulin resistance and inflammation.
Of
two questions to ask should women exercise differently across the menstrual cycle and what is the reason why women hear what you guys say and they don't do it i'm so glad we're having this conversation we're back with the leading voices in women's health to unlock the specific insights data and tools needed to combat the growing challenges women face throughout their lives
For women, forever it was all about aesthetics. I'm healthy, I'm thin. Because they are under the assumption through sociocultural ideas that a woman is coming to the gym to lose weight, not to get strong, not to gain muscle.
But what we've ended up with is an epidemic of osteoporosis and frailty and really dementia.
Where 40 to 50% of women will have low bone density, 70% of all hip fractures happen in women. And when you have that, 30% of the time you have a chance of dying in one year.
Because most of it is based on male data. And I see a large number of women trying their hardest to be healthy. But what they are choosing to do is actually having a negative impact on their hormonal health. And it's not your fault. And this is where we have to educate. And it starts now.
like what's the best and healthiest way to lose weight? Is there a diet for fertility? Should women fast? Is there a link between environmental toxins and early menopause?
We think so.
But also, if you were to design perfect workout regimes for menopause and perimenopause, what would you... Oh, Stacey's clapping. Go ahead. This is part two of my conversation with four of the world's leading experts in women's health. And in this episode, we go even deeper into actionable, practical things you can do to improve your health. And by the way, if you're a man and you've been sent this episode by a girlfriend, a wife, a daughter, whoever it might be,
Should women exercise differently during their menstrual cycle?
I know you might not think this conversation's for you, but more than 50% of this planet are women. You have a tremendous advantage in your relationships, at work, and just being a human being going through life if you understand the majority of the population. And for so long, women's health... Women's bodies, women's anatomy, their psychology and physiology has been a mystery because there hasn't been the same amount of scientific research done to understand them. So in this conversation, we're going to demystify all of that so that you can understand your wife, your partner, your daughter, your colleague, your mother, your grandmother even better. So in this part of the conversation, I want to talk about exercise, nutrition, fasting, lifestyle, sleep, environmental factors, and all the things that we kind of alluded to when we were referencing hormones and menopause, but in a more actionable sense.
And I guess the first question is similar to the first question in part one, which is, why does it matter for us to have a conversation about women in this context versus fitness generally or nutrition generally?
Sport and exercise science in itself is a small subset of sports medicine and medical research. And most of the research has been done on men. So if we look inherently at most of the recommendations of exercise, recovery, nutrition, it's based on male data. And we established earlier that that's not generalizable. Right. So when we really want to get into the nuances of how do we create an adaptive stress for women, we have to look at it differently. We have to look through the female lens, understand the female physiology, and acutely how hormones can affect adaptations and how women respond to different environmental cues than men.
