Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: A couple of months ago was saying no one should
- 0:02Speaker 1: ever use menopause hormone therapy because it causes breast cancer.
- 0:05Speaker 1: It's like old data, old data, it's been disproven.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Oh here, right, that's a problem. That's a problem.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Right.
- 0:15Speaker 1: But if you've ever seen anything written by Claude, it's
- 0:18Speaker 1: through that mail ends and it always puts the men first.
- 0:21Speaker 1: It's like we've got to fight that.
- 0:23Speaker 4: Hi everyone, my name is Haley, and this is Laura,
- 0:26Speaker 4: and welcome to the body Pod. All right, Selene and Stacy,
- 0:34Speaker 4: welcome to this special edition of the body Pod. This
- 0:37Speaker 4: has been my dream to have both of you on,
- 0:40Speaker 4: so welcome to the body Pod.
- 0:43Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I'm excited. It's like friend reunion, freend reunion.
- 0:48Speaker 4: And I'm actually I'm so glad I got to see
- 0:51Speaker 4: Stacy for a little bit. But Selene, I got zero time,
- 0:54Speaker 4: minus the awkward hug that we had to do with
- 0:56Speaker 4: the randos. That was nobody do that icebreaker ever again, Stacy,
- 1:04Speaker 4: we had to hug somebody for twenty seconds.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Where well it was so weird. Peper, that was like
- 1:10Speaker 2: the icebreaker.
- 1:11Speaker 5: You were in the green room at the time. You're
- 1:15Speaker 5: very glad that you were in the green.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Room because I can't even Oh was it the woman
- 1:19Speaker 3: who was the embassy?
- 1:22Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:22Speaker 5: Then ye then yeah that was awkward.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Yeah, so she's literally sorry, literally, I'll behave she had us.
- 1:31Speaker 3: We did have to hug someone we were supposed to do,
- 1:33Speaker 3: and twenty seconds is an eternity. I mean, if you're
- 1:36Speaker 3: in a boxing ring and somebody is punching you for
- 1:38Speaker 3: twenty seconds, go see what that feels like.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Hug a stranger for twenty seconds.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Terrible.
- 1:46Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know we got to connect.
- 1:48Speaker 2: For twenty twenty seconds seconds.
- 1:54Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Well, speaking of the conference, let's go over This was
- 1:59Speaker 4: probably my favorite conference that I've been to. Number one
- 2:02Speaker 4: because I got to see Stacy on stage, but obviously
- 2:07Speaker 4: all of the guests were amazing. Jane Fonda and Stacy
- 2:10Speaker 4: this was like the most iconic moment ever to have
- 2:14Speaker 4: Jane Fonda, Stacy being able to interview Jane and Jane
- 2:19Speaker 4: crushing on you.
- 2:20Speaker 5: Well, that's what I was just to say. That was
- 2:23Speaker 5: the highlight for me. I mean there were many highlights
- 2:25Speaker 5: of that moment, but like Jane.
- 2:29Speaker 3: Being excited to share the stage with you because her trainer.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Was it because of the trainer?
- 2:35Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 2:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well, you know, I'm like, whoa when they
- 2:39Speaker 1: asked me, the interviewers like, I've not been on the
- 2:41Speaker 1: interviewer part. I've only been on the interview part. So
- 2:45Speaker 1: digging into your background and finding so much information about
- 2:48Speaker 1: her that no one knew, and then she blew through
- 2:50Speaker 1: all my questions like the first five minutes. But it's fun.
- 2:55Speaker 5: She did.
- 2:56Speaker 4: She did, but it was just kind of like this
- 2:58Speaker 4: iconic moment of Jane being this massive fitness figure and
- 3:02Speaker 4: then Stacy taking over the rains was kind of my
- 3:06Speaker 4: That's how I took it was this.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Like passing of the oh cool, thanks, Yeah, it was
- 3:13Speaker 2: pretty It was pretty cool. So I was a big
- 3:16Speaker 2: fan of them.
- 3:17Speaker 3: And then she like literally got on the floor and
- 3:19Speaker 3: everybody was just like, oh, is she gonna get up?
- 3:23Speaker 2: It's gonna be okay because she's.
- 3:25Speaker 5: Eighty eight years old and is an amazing ship. Here
- 3:29Speaker 5: those heels on. I don't even wear heels like that.
- 3:31Speaker 3: But it was just like I was able to get
- 3:33Speaker 3: that great shot of you, like because she was fine
- 3:35Speaker 3: to get off the floor, but she dropped the mic
- 3:37Speaker 3: right her little mic that was on the back of
- 3:39Speaker 3: her pant waist. Bad, So you helping her sort of
- 3:43Speaker 3: like fix that back up while she was getting up
- 3:45Speaker 3: was it was. It was really great and everybody I
- 3:48Speaker 3: think that was probably everybody's highlight because people were riveted.
- 3:52Speaker 5: It was a very.
- 3:53Speaker 3: Quiet and you can feel the engagement in the air.
- 3:56Speaker 3: People were very, very into that whole conversation.
- 3:59Speaker 5: It could have gone could.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Have gone sideways, That's gonna say.
- 4:03Speaker 3: It could have gone much longer, but I am sure
- 4:05Speaker 3: we could have gone sideways.
- 4:08Speaker 2: But yeah, it could have gone longer.
- 4:09Speaker 3: But listening to her talk about it was interesting hearing her.
- 4:14Speaker 3: The takeaways that I got from her. You know, we
- 4:17Speaker 3: all know that as you hit milestones in your life
- 4:21Speaker 3: that you have such clarity looking backwards.
- 4:23Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
- 4:24Speaker 3: And she definitely could feel that from her that I want,
- 4:27Speaker 3: I want to be friends with my kids.
- 4:29Speaker 5: I want my kids to like like me. I I'm
- 4:33Speaker 5: in therapy.
- 4:33Speaker 3: She started with therapy in her eighties. And we need
- 4:36Speaker 3: to talk about death more because death gives meaning to life.
- 4:39Speaker 3: And just the wisdom that she and the honesty and
- 4:43Speaker 3: the vulnerability and all of that that she brought. When
- 4:46Speaker 3: a lot of people recess at that in that age group,
- 4:50Speaker 3: especially women, it was great to see her being so
- 4:54Speaker 3: open and bold and vulnerable. I really I that will stay.
- 4:57Speaker 5: With me for quite a while, honestly. Yeah.
- 5:00Speaker 1: It was good that she reflected and it is like,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you know, my last what does.
- 5:04Speaker 5: She call it?
- 5:04Speaker 4: The third chapter?
- 5:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, right, yeah, I can't remember exactly what she
- 5:11Speaker 3: called it, but it was whatever, what a chapter it was.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Thirty years of your life or something, and how she
- 5:19Speaker 1: turned it on the head. It is like, let's be
- 5:21Speaker 1: open and let's yeah, not have any kind of regrets
- 5:25Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. And I was like,
- 5:26Speaker 1: I wonder how many people actually think about that? Just
- 5:29Speaker 1: so like you hear about a lot of hospice workers
- 5:31Speaker 1: where the person who dies and the one regret they
- 5:34Speaker 1: have is not spending enough time or not connecting with
- 5:38Speaker 1: their loved ones.
- 5:38Speaker 2: And stuff before they die.
- 5:40Speaker 1: So I thought that was really insightful for her to say, hey,
- 5:42Speaker 1: you know what, I need to right all these wrongs
- 5:44Speaker 1: because I don't want to leave the world with all
- 5:46Speaker 1: these regrets.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a big theme and it was great
- 5:50Speaker 3: to see her. I think she was just so emblematic
- 5:53Speaker 3: of the conference in general, because because she is the
- 5:57Speaker 3: OG and the like let's get strong space and was
- 6:02Speaker 3: just like a living example of what that can look
- 6:05Speaker 3: like at eighty eight, you know, just getting up and
- 6:07Speaker 3: down off the floor and being so nimble and and
- 6:11Speaker 3: brain cogniti know, very with it and very sharp like
- 6:15Speaker 3: all of that. And you know, I was going to ask,
- 6:18Speaker 3: like what everybody's sort of highlight was about the conference
- 6:21Speaker 3: in general, because I mean, she definitely was. But I
- 6:23Speaker 3: think she was for me not only because of what
- 6:25Speaker 3: we just talked about, because she was such a living
- 6:31Speaker 3: emblem of everything that the conference itself was about. And
- 6:34Speaker 3: what I think the longevity movement broadly for women is
- 6:38Speaker 3: becoming is that you know, for so long, not only
- 6:41Speaker 3: that women want to study it so much, but medicine
- 6:43Speaker 3: itself was so specialized, and women's medicine was so specialized
- 6:48Speaker 3: to bikini medicine, you know, like our breasts and our
- 6:51Speaker 3: reproductive system and having babies. But like now, I love
- 6:55Speaker 3: the integration of how our ovaries and the hormones they
- 6:59Speaker 3: produce are conducting so much in our body and our physiology,
- 7:03Speaker 3: and so looking at the menstrual cycle through that lens,
- 7:06Speaker 3: and looking at her hormones through that lens, and looking
- 7:08Speaker 3: at muscle and brain and just the through line that
- 7:11Speaker 3: of course as organic organisms. You know that all of
- 7:15Speaker 3: this has like we're finally connecting people in a holistic
- 7:18Speaker 3: way in a Western culture. Amen and Amen.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Yes, And the speaker lineup, I mean, obviously Stacey headlining
- 7:29Speaker 4: and opening that opening the conference was amazing. I obviously
- 7:35Speaker 4: I adore Jessica Shepherd, so anytime I can hear her,
- 7:39Speaker 4: I just think that she speaks so eloquently, she has
- 7:43Speaker 4: such a beautiful demeanor.
- 7:44Speaker 2: And then Vonda just brings like she's just the fire crack. Yes,
- 7:50Speaker 2: I love her, She's awesome.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I love it, And she just like can Wonda,
- 8:03Speaker 4: I think is the best speaker of anyone that I've
- 8:05Speaker 4: ever known, Like she just can get the emotion, she
- 8:09Speaker 4: lives for it saying it, and she's so good at it.
- 8:12Speaker 4: And it was really fun. I had her on last
- 8:15Speaker 4: night for one of my group calls, and she just
- 8:17Speaker 4: can She's just a powerhouse. I mean that really is
- 8:22Speaker 4: the word for Bonda. So it was so fun to
- 8:24Speaker 4: see everyone there in once.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Yes, and what we're learning about bone health and how
- 8:30Speaker 3: bones I mean, I think for way too long we've
- 8:33Speaker 3: considered bones as just scaffolding, right, It's just like things
- 8:37Speaker 3: that hold up us up instead of also living organisms
- 8:41Speaker 3: that are communicating with the rest of us through you know,
- 8:44Speaker 3: all kinds of hormonal signaling and mile kinds and all
- 8:47Speaker 3: that stuff.
- 8:47Speaker 2: So, yeah, they have a new thing.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It's called the bone brain muscle axis.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Yes, I love that talk about that, of course.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:56Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, when you look at the
- 9:00Speaker 1: combination of cycopenia, so low muscle quality with osteopenia osteoporosis,
- 9:08Speaker 1: it creates an even greater inflammatory response and a change
- 9:12Speaker 1: in you gut microbiome. And so when you start doing
- 9:14Speaker 1: exercise to build muscle or to build bone, it dampens
- 9:18Speaker 1: that inflammation, improves gut microbiome and improves myokine signaling to
- 9:23Speaker 1: improve overall health. And it's not one or the other.
- 9:26Speaker 1: It's when both of them are bad, it's really bad,
- 9:29Speaker 1: and if you can work on one, the other one responds,
- 9:31Speaker 1: and then it also feeds forward to having better neuroconnectivity
- 9:35Speaker 1: in the brain. And it's just this whole connective aspect
- 9:38Speaker 1: that people haven't really put together until now.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Pretty impactful too.
- 9:42Speaker 4: To have that like that that goes back to being
- 9:45Speaker 4: frail is fatal. Yeah, and that I think that from
- 9:50Speaker 4: what I see and I love how the conversation's shifting.
- 9:53Speaker 4: And I say this knowing that I run a lot
- 9:57Speaker 4: of fat loss education. Yeah for women that if you're
- 10:01Speaker 4: going to do it, let me give you the right
- 10:03Speaker 4: information and let's show you how to do it modestly. However,
- 10:06Speaker 4: the the the aspect that Stacy preaches, and that the
- 10:12Speaker 4: direction that you go where we have to be feeding
- 10:16Speaker 4: these bodies, Like if you're going to do this, get in,
- 10:18Speaker 4: get out.
- 10:18Speaker 2: I always say, get in and get out.
- 10:19Speaker 4: Do it well, do it fast, safely, but like, don't
- 10:23Speaker 4: live there all of the time. Because the thing that
- 10:26Speaker 4: I see is that women didn't even know that you can.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Lose bone when you're not eating enough. Like no one
- 10:36Speaker 2: knew that.
- 10:37Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody knew that. They knew that they even muscle.
- 10:40Speaker 4: It was like, oh I can lose muscle.
- 10:42Speaker 2: I don't remember, yeah bone. Yeah, well so that was really.
- 10:48Speaker 4: I think that's something that has changed, at least for
- 10:50Speaker 4: my audience over the last year is is having the
- 10:54Speaker 4: bone conversations with speakers like Vonda, experts like Stacy and Vonda,
- 11:00Speaker 4: all of these these leaders that are talking about all
- 11:03Speaker 4: of the benefits of having more food, putting on getting
- 11:08Speaker 4: stronger and having stronger bones opposed to just muscle muscle muscle, right.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I gave it talk yesterday at the Stanford Healthy Living Conference,
- 11:20Speaker 1: and it was muscle and power and stuff, and it
- 11:23Speaker 1: was supposed to be while it was geared for people
- 11:25Speaker 1: who were fifty plus men and women, and I was like,
- 11:28Speaker 1: I opened it up with what I see all the
- 11:30Speaker 1: time now in a DEXA is a woman will come
- 11:33Speaker 1: in and she looked relatively lean and fit, and she's
- 11:35Speaker 1: running a lot. She's not doing much strength training a
- 11:37Speaker 1: little bit here and there because she heard it's good
- 11:39Speaker 1: for her. Gets a DEXA. She's almost osteophoritic, and she
- 11:44Speaker 1: has really high visceral fat and she's like, what's going on?
- 11:46Speaker 1: Like why because no one is talking about that muscle
- 11:49Speaker 1: brain connection and the muscle bone connection, and she's not
- 11:54Speaker 1: eating in us. So you're like, okay, we have to
- 11:56Speaker 1: have you eat more, and we also have to get
- 11:58Speaker 1: you doing real muscle work and bone work in order
- 12:01Speaker 1: to correct all these things that are going wrong before
- 12:05Speaker 1: you get to be eighty eight, because then you definitely
- 12:07Speaker 1: won't be getting off the stage.
- 12:08Speaker 2: I changed Vonda.
- 12:10Speaker 3: Well, and that's an issue because so many people in
- 12:12Speaker 3: my audience, and I bang the drum all the time
- 12:15Speaker 3: to get please, please, please, get your DEXA scans because
- 12:19Speaker 3: they'll see, you know, for people who don't know, I
- 12:21Speaker 3: have you know, hip plane out pause and a group
- 12:23Speaker 3: of women of thirty six thousand or so women in
- 12:27Speaker 3: that group, and there are a lot of endurance athletes
- 12:30Speaker 3: who are outwardly very fit.
- 12:33Speaker 5: Some of them look very.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Lean, and they go to their doctrine because they look
- 12:37Speaker 3: like the least problem that that doctor is going to
- 12:39Speaker 3: see today. They're just like, you're fine. They don't have
- 12:43Speaker 3: a DEXA scan, so the weight is fine.
- 12:45Speaker 5: They step on the scale.
- 12:45Speaker 3: And everyone's like, oh, you're good, and they don't see
- 12:48Speaker 3: that that invisible problem that you're talking about.
- 12:51Speaker 4: Well, and Bonda and I were talking last night about
- 12:54Speaker 4: the difference in DEXAS scans. You have the hospital grade
- 12:58Speaker 4: DEXA scan and now you have all of this, all
- 13:01Speaker 4: of these body composition scans that you can get for
- 13:03Speaker 4: thirty nine dollars. Yeah, you know in a in I
- 13:07Speaker 4: always say like the mobile van, like the book mobile,
- 13:10Speaker 4: and now it's like the.
- 13:13Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And.
- 13:16Speaker 4: The difference between that because it's not the same as
- 13:20Speaker 4: the hospital grade DESKA.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Right, yeah, they see, No, it's not they've done some
- 13:25Speaker 1: validation of the higher higher end in body versus a holist.
- 13:31Speaker 1: What is the the g and A brand that's always
- 13:37Speaker 1: in the hospitals, the Dexa that they always use holographic
- 13:41Speaker 1: or something like that. Anyway, against the gold standard and
- 13:44Speaker 1: for body composition of muscle and fat weight, it's good,
- 13:50Speaker 1: but it doesn't take in bound So if you need
- 13:52Speaker 1: to get bone, you have to get the gold standard Dexa. Yeah,
- 13:56Speaker 1: and then that's important.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 13:58Speaker 1: And then with an end body, you can can't really
- 14:00Speaker 1: compare against the norms because water and the amount of
- 14:05Speaker 1: water you have hydration all interfeers, so you have to
- 14:08Speaker 1: be very yeah, you know, you have to be looking
- 14:11Speaker 1: at your own trends over time and making sure that
- 14:13Speaker 1: you're hydrated and go at the same time every time
- 14:16Speaker 1: you go, do it, same time and day, same kind
- 14:18Speaker 1: of food.
- 14:19Speaker 2: It's really standardized.
- 14:21Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Again, people trying to make a buck and not very well.
- 14:27Speaker 2: No.
- 14:28Speaker 4: And I had a client that got one and on
- 14:32Speaker 4: her report when she sent it to me, at least
- 14:34Speaker 4: this company said like they were taking no liability for bone.
- 14:40Speaker 4: So they're like, well, here's kind of your bone range.
- 14:44Speaker 4: But this actually doesn't you know, we're pretty much saying
- 14:48Speaker 4: we're going for body composition. We're telling you more about
- 14:52Speaker 4: this than we are about bone and so that needs
- 14:56Speaker 4: to be clear. That hospital grade is not the same
- 15:00Speaker 4: as any other uh scan that you can get out there.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Well, what other what other takeaways? Selene? You you had
- 15:08Speaker 2: a whole email on it, didn't you?
- 15:12Speaker 1: Well?
- 15:13Speaker 2: I always think I always.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Read your emails out like, yes, that's saying exactly that
- 15:18Speaker 4: I read.
- 15:19Speaker 3: Yes, No, yeah, No, I mean I think we talked
- 15:24Speaker 3: about a lot of the things that that I took
- 15:26Speaker 3: away from that conference. It's just, you know, one of
- 15:29Speaker 3: the other highlights broadly for me, is just there were
- 15:33Speaker 3: like two thousand women there. Right, it was packed and
- 15:38Speaker 3: it was not inexpensive, and it was a beautiful weekend
- 15:42Speaker 3: in California. So you have all these women giving money
- 15:47Speaker 3: and time and effort to to to fill this this
- 15:50Speaker 3: place and and be educated. I think there's it's someone
- 15:54Speaker 3: else said like it's a really really exciting time in
- 15:58Speaker 3: women's health, and I that that is proof.
- 16:01Speaker 5: Like you could just feel it was there was so.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Much energy in the whole in the whole space.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and I keep reflecting, like on the global political
- 16:09Speaker 1: environment that's having this pushback against women, and I feel
- 16:13Speaker 1: like it's making all of us kind of gravitate together
- 16:15Speaker 1: to totally kind of fight the system back and say,
- 16:18Speaker 1: you know what, we were going to come together and
- 16:20Speaker 1: we're going to get informed and we're going to share
- 16:22Speaker 1: education because we're not getting help from the outside.
- 16:25Speaker 2: And yeah, no one's coming to save this.
- 16:28Speaker 5: We have to save ourselves.
- 16:29Speaker 3: That came up a huge that comes up all the time,
- 16:33Speaker 3: sir mind, like everybody says.
- 16:35Speaker 5: That, and I'm like, yeah, that's that is a true.
- 16:37Speaker 3: Yeah, that is about correct, you know, just understanding hormones
- 16:43Speaker 3: and giving women agency in their own health and hormonal
- 16:47Speaker 3: and longevity journey, I think is really important. For far
- 16:50Speaker 3: too long, I think women have have just been passive
- 16:54Speaker 3: about that and taught to be passive about that. And
- 16:56Speaker 3: you can really feel the shift, you can really feel
- 16:58Speaker 3: that all changing and get strong. I mean the work
- 17:01Speaker 3: that you know, like Haley you do and of course
- 17:03Speaker 3: Stacy helping women get strong. And I do want to
- 17:07Speaker 3: talk about getting more women lifting, like I'd love like
- 17:09Speaker 3: how many people I'm curious in that audience, what percentage
- 17:13Speaker 3: do you guys think have a real strength chraining.
- 17:17Speaker 1: Practice if we're not counting like your small peloton weights
- 17:22Speaker 1: and stuff like that, or are we counting resistance training
- 17:25Speaker 1: or strength training.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Let's say any let's say like, let's say any picking
- 17:32Speaker 3: up a weight purposely at all in that group.
- 17:35Speaker 2: I would say maybe twenty percent at the max.
- 17:37Speaker 5: I was thinking the same thing.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty low, and we have to we need to.
- 17:40Speaker 5: Change that, right.
- 17:42Speaker 3: Like, one of the things that has stood out to
- 17:44Speaker 3: me over the past six years that I've been doing
- 17:47Speaker 3: this work, specifically in the metopause space, is that the
- 17:53Speaker 3: transformation that happens when women learn how to lift. You
- 17:59Speaker 3: can't overstay, right, you can't overstate I see the look
- 18:03Speaker 3: in their eyes. I'm like, you want to change, woman.
- 18:05Speaker 3: I mean you can just see it, and it happens.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Really pretty quickly.
- 18:09Speaker 3: And just for all these other Like I really want
- 18:11Speaker 3: Stacey to talk about the work she's doing, like you
- 18:14Speaker 3: just did out in the Cleveland clinic to the study
- 18:15Speaker 3: that you have going on. But like I, how how
- 18:20Speaker 3: do we make these very engaged women who are really
- 18:23Speaker 3: interested like take that next step.
- 18:26Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:26Speaker 1: One of the things that comes out up all the
- 18:28Speaker 1: time is the intimidation and the fear because no one's
- 18:31Speaker 1: describing like what's resistance training versus strength training, because the
- 18:35Speaker 1: conversation is about building muscle, but there's different nuances within that. Yes,
- 18:40Speaker 1: if you're going to do fifty push ups, you're going
- 18:42Speaker 1: to build some muscle and endurance, but you're not going
- 18:45Speaker 1: to optimize what we're trying to optimize as we get older.
- 18:49Speaker 1: So that's when we start talking about our rep ranges
- 18:51Speaker 1: and what do we do resistance training That could be anywhere.
- 18:53Speaker 2: From body weight to Olympic lifting.
- 18:55Speaker 1: But if we're looking at pure strength training, this is
- 18:59Speaker 1: actually being very cognitive that you have built your body
- 19:03Speaker 1: up enough through resistance training to be resilient enough to
- 19:07Speaker 1: start lifting heavier loads, and we want to optimize women there,
- 19:10Speaker 1: but we have to get rid of that fear factor.
- 19:12Speaker 1: So now it's like, Okay, where are you in your journey.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Do we have ten minutes three times a week where
- 19:16Speaker 1: you're just doing body weight circuits and then you're going
- 19:18Speaker 1: to start adding some load And then you find a
- 19:20Speaker 1: friend and you can jump on Haley's app or you
- 19:23Speaker 1: can go to a small outdoor class or women's class
- 19:27Speaker 1: to start to learn how to get more confident in
- 19:30Speaker 1: a gym and that kind of stuff, and explaining the
- 19:33Speaker 1: journey because we're hearing all these absolutes, and you know,
- 19:36Speaker 1: I was very fault of that being so absolute as
- 19:39Speaker 1: last year or so, but really understanding to be able
- 19:43Speaker 1: to describe what that journey looks like empowers women and
- 19:46Speaker 1: they're like, oh.
- 19:47Speaker 2: I can do that.
- 19:48Speaker 1: I see that in order to do pure string of training,
- 19:51Speaker 1: which benefits my bone, really benefits cognitive function and neuro conductivity.
- 19:57Speaker 1: That that's the journey I'm reaching for, and it might
- 20:00Speaker 1: take me a year or so to get there because
- 20:02Speaker 1: I'm trying to make my body resilient. I tell people
- 20:05Speaker 1: it's like you hear about a marathon, but you're not
- 20:07Speaker 1: going to wake up the next day to run it.
- 20:09Speaker 1: And that's the same thing with heavy lifting and pure
- 20:11Speaker 1: strength training. So we want to really get the body
- 20:14Speaker 1: resilient with tendons and ligaments and muscle and form and
- 20:18Speaker 1: function with the goal to be able to get into
- 20:21Speaker 1: that optimal way of lifting.
- 20:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 20:24Speaker 3: I also think that there's there's the conflation of terms
- 20:27Speaker 3: becomes problematic because when you talk powerlifting, a lot of
- 20:31Speaker 3: times people are just talking they're really talking about the moves,
- 20:34Speaker 3: so talking about the big lifts, so talking about like
- 20:36Speaker 3: doing squads, doing a press, doing a dead lift, But
- 20:40Speaker 3: but they're not necessarily talking about like I am going
- 20:43Speaker 3: to like make my eyes bulge out and try to
- 20:46Speaker 3: hit like one rep max.
- 20:48Speaker 5: You know.
- 20:48Speaker 3: I mean, you like lifting like your whole body loves
- 20:52Speaker 3: some load. But that does not mean that you need
- 20:55Speaker 3: to be a power lifter per se because you're doing
- 20:58Speaker 3: those moves and lifting heavy, you know. I mean, Andy Hayley,
- 21:02Speaker 3: you can certainly talk to this, but there's still some
- 21:04Speaker 3: reps in reserve. There's still a report to in reserve.
- 21:06Speaker 3: You're not like, you know, you're you're challenging yourself, but
- 21:09Speaker 3: you're not putting yourself into that place of like you're
- 21:12Speaker 3: in a competition where you're going.
- 21:14Speaker 5: To fail, you know.
- 21:14Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a different And I try to
- 21:17Speaker 3: explain to my audience who's endurance space. Like for endurance
- 21:23Speaker 3: cyclists and runners, I mean they all lift heavy, all
- 21:26Speaker 3: of them left heavy, like especially this time of year,
- 21:28Speaker 3: they're turning down the volume and they're just keeping you know,
- 21:31Speaker 3: that five rep repetition range in there to stay strong
- 21:35Speaker 3: without going for the hyperchasee. You know, I mean, there's
- 21:39Speaker 3: a lot of nuance that just really gets lost. And
- 21:42Speaker 3: I think some of this is the conflation of terms.
- 21:44Speaker 5: Honestly, people get confused.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Well, Haley was talking about just doing heavier lifting and
- 21:49Speaker 1: still being able to ride her bike up the hills,
- 21:51Speaker 1: and it's like, with the travel that I do, the
- 21:54Speaker 1: only consistency I can have is finding a gym to
- 21:56Speaker 1: do like the heavier lifting.
- 21:58Speaker 2: But then I can still rent a bike and go
- 22:00Speaker 2: smash with my friends.
- 22:02Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the conversation in the
- 22:04Speaker 1: early endurance space that doesn't get had. It's like, if
- 22:07Speaker 1: you want to be able to continue to do stuff
- 22:09Speaker 1: even though you're not able to ride all the time
- 22:12Speaker 1: or run all the time, that strength is there and
- 22:15Speaker 1: it's going to help preserve your economy movement, and preserve
- 22:18Speaker 1: your fitness.
- 22:19Speaker 3: And that's it makes you more resilient and durable, I mean,
- 22:23Speaker 3: all the things that you need to be. I mean,
- 22:26Speaker 3: you had a post about Tendon's about Tendon's loving load,
- 22:29Speaker 3: Haley that I thought was great because Tendon's love load,
- 22:31Speaker 3: they did they do well under it.
- 22:33Speaker 2: They definitely did.
- 22:34Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's this is the biggest thing I'm I'm
- 22:36Speaker 4: rounding out ninety nine thousand women that have that have
- 22:41Speaker 4: worked on my app over the last x amount of here.
- 22:45Speaker 4: But I've learned a lot, and my support team has
- 22:48Speaker 4: learned a lot because they're the ones that get inundated
- 22:50Speaker 4: with all of these questions. And honestly, I think the
- 22:54Speaker 4: biggest mistakes that I see are women right shing in
- 23:00Speaker 4: too soon and the tendons aren't ready, and then they
- 23:03Speaker 4: spend months like healing a tendonopathy. It is not a
- 23:07Speaker 4: quick turnaround at this age with those and they could
- 23:10Speaker 4: have been prevented if they would have just eased in
- 23:13Speaker 4: a little bit more so, as we always say, like
- 23:15Speaker 4: there's no race to the finish.
- 23:16Speaker 2: But I will say with this new Power.
- 23:19Speaker 4: Happens program Stace, that we just launched Express two point
- 23:22Speaker 4: zero where we're moving the bar with speed, so.
- 23:26Speaker 2: We're movingster after load.
- 23:28Speaker 4: This is the first time that I have trained specifically
- 23:32Speaker 4: this way for a season leading up to my bike season,
- 23:37Speaker 4: and the first time I got out on my bike,
- 23:40Speaker 4: which was embarrassingly only like a month ago. Outside I
- 23:45Speaker 4: went up the canyon and I was expecting, like you
- 23:48Speaker 4: just sometimes you just know it's going to suck, it's
- 23:50Speaker 4: going to be painful, It's going to hurt, It's part
- 23:52Speaker 4: of the process. It's the first time I'm going on
- 23:55Speaker 4: a long ride this year and I got up to
- 23:58Speaker 4: the top and I was like, did I have an
- 24:00Speaker 4: extra gear on this like this time?
- 24:03Speaker 2: Because it just didn't feel as hard.
- 24:07Speaker 4: I mean, and I've done this for over I mean,
- 24:09Speaker 4: you guys have done it for multiple decades. I've done
- 24:12Speaker 4: this for maybe twelve twelve years. Never once have I
- 24:16Speaker 4: felt that way on the first ride going up. And
- 24:18Speaker 4: the only thing I've done is more of this power
- 24:22Speaker 4: based moving the load with speed, but also the dynamic
- 24:25Speaker 4: jumping and the just true power and speed terms. I
- 24:30Speaker 4: will say this when you're talking about the terms of
- 24:34Speaker 4: when we look at a population that we're talking to,
- 24:37Speaker 4: and of course we know that the general pop like
- 24:40Speaker 4: general population are probably not lifting weights and they're not
- 24:44Speaker 4: doing this.
- 24:45Speaker 2: However, my audience and I.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Know for sure, I mean, Stacy, you have a much
- 24:52Speaker 4: more global audience, but Selene, for you as well my audience.
- 24:57Speaker 4: The thing that's most confusing is still that pilates and
- 25:01Speaker 4: yoga are going to change and sculpt your body. That
- 25:05Speaker 4: conversation I thought was dead.
- 25:08Speaker 2: I thought it was dead.
- 25:10Speaker 4: So I'm not hearing so much about I have. Of
- 25:13Speaker 4: course beginners coming into the weights room, and that's great,
- 25:17Speaker 4: but the majority of my women are training. They are training,
- 25:20Speaker 4: they're just still not sure what the heavy lifting really
- 25:25Speaker 4: means because the definition is really hard to define and say, well,
- 25:32Speaker 4: this is actually what heavy means. Because they're telling me
- 25:35Speaker 4: what they do and I'm like, uhhhh, great, that's great.
- 25:39Speaker 4: But if you're wanting what you just said for bone
- 25:42Speaker 4: health and getting your bone stronger and all of this,
- 25:45Speaker 4: that isn't going to cut it. And honestly, it was
- 25:49Speaker 4: a little shocking.
- 25:50Speaker 2: For me to.
- 25:52Speaker 4: Have these recent conversations where I just assumed, because all
- 25:57Speaker 4: of us are talking about it, that everyone knows that
- 26:01Speaker 4: this isn't going to cut it.
- 26:03Speaker 2: It's not never Oh yeah.
- 26:06Speaker 1: I had to me yesterday at the conference and go,
- 26:09Speaker 1: oh yeah, I've been doing yoga and pilates, and you know,
- 26:13Speaker 1: I really want to talk to you about it, especially
- 26:15Speaker 1: after some of the clips that have gone around, and like,
- 26:17Speaker 1: I don't hate pilates, I do it once a week.
- 26:19Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's not the be all, end all.
- 26:21Speaker 1: And strength training isn't the isolation either. It's like they
- 26:25Speaker 1: both compliment each other so you're going to be doing
- 26:28Speaker 1: plates fantastic. It's great for appropriate reception, balance control. So
- 26:33Speaker 1: that's strength ligaments, tendons. But it's not going to budget
- 26:37Speaker 1: the needle. When we're talking about bone and muscle and
- 26:40Speaker 1: strength training. When we talk about the optimization of strength training,
- 26:43Speaker 1: that's not necessarily going to help with your balance and
- 26:46Speaker 1: stability either, right, right, So they both.
- 26:49Speaker 3: Comp it's all, yeah, it's all, it's all helpful. I
- 26:53Speaker 3: had a really great, great conversation with Belinda Beck. Yeah, yeah, awesome,
- 27:00Speaker 3: she the Liftmore study investigator, and just so much about
- 27:04Speaker 3: like how you need your bends to bone bend, bones
- 27:08Speaker 3: to bend a little bit, you know, to stimulate the growth,
- 27:10Speaker 3: and like like just exactly what heavy load does to
- 27:13Speaker 3: the bones is so fascinating.
- 27:16Speaker 5: I could have geeked out for hours.
- 27:18Speaker 4: That is such a hard like for me when I
- 27:21Speaker 4: first heard that, I was like, how does the bone bend?
- 27:24Speaker 5: Like how do sister weight on it?
- 27:28Speaker 2: It just.
- 27:32Speaker 4: It's just like it is fascinating because you just don't
- 27:36Speaker 4: you fascinating that like how does the bone actually bend?
- 27:39Speaker 4: But mad, I mean again, thankful for for you, Stacy,
- 27:43Speaker 4: but also Bonda and all of these Wonda with her
- 27:47Speaker 4: femur and really talking about how strong bones are are
- 27:52Speaker 4: formed and capts.
- 27:55Speaker 2: That we're not missing the message there as well.
- 27:58Speaker 1: Now now she's awesome that because I was looking at
- 28:01Speaker 1: all of us that we're speaking at the conference, It's
- 28:04Speaker 1: like we all have our own niche and we all agree,
- 28:08Speaker 1: and sometimes we all get pitted against each other, but
- 28:11Speaker 1: we're all effectively saying the same thing, just from a
- 28:13Speaker 1: different angle. It's like, Yep, Vonda's definitely orthopedic bone with
- 28:17Speaker 1: some muscle. I'm you know, let's look at exercise, exercise stress,
- 28:22Speaker 1: and then the hormone conversation, and we have Jessica and
- 28:25Speaker 1: Mary Claire that's more hormone and then exercise in it.
- 28:28Speaker 1: But we all in the thread of things all agree.
- 28:32Speaker 1: It's just yeah, And it's interesting that when you hear
- 28:36Speaker 1: us all together on the stage, we still have to
- 28:39Speaker 1: say we all agree, because people just keep taking little
- 28:43Speaker 1: bits here and there what they want to hear and
- 28:46Speaker 1: then try to pit each other against each other.
- 28:48Speaker 5: Yeah, and you might have which is we're all humans.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I mean, you might have slightly different nuanced thoughts on
- 28:55Speaker 3: something like a hormone therapy than Mary Claire. I mean,
- 28:57Speaker 3: even though you overlap in the ven diagram, she may
- 29:00Speaker 3: have some thoughts that you're like, I'm not really there,
- 29:02Speaker 3: and you may have some thoughts where she's like, I'm
- 29:04Speaker 3: not really there exactly.
- 29:05Speaker 2: That's okay, it's fine, that's like, that's okay, yep.
- 29:09Speaker 4: I think that's the important point too, and that the
- 29:12Speaker 4: vent diagram, because when you look at it, is there
- 29:14Speaker 4: one person in your life that you agree one hundred
- 29:19Speaker 4: percent with?
- 29:20Speaker 5: Not even myself.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Maybe person.
- 29:25Speaker 1: I could agree with my dog maybe because he doesn't
- 29:28Speaker 1: really talk.
- 29:30Speaker 4: Yeah, and so everyone, I mean, and I think that's
- 29:32Speaker 4: that's our job. I know for me and these groups,
- 29:37Speaker 4: they always the nutrient timing will come up, and I
- 29:40Speaker 4: always refer back to Abby Smith, Ryan's work and all
- 29:44Speaker 4: of these things. And it's like, to the consumer, it
- 29:47Speaker 4: might be well, this person says this, This person says
- 29:50Speaker 4: that as.
- 29:51Speaker 2: The educators, we are confused.
- 29:54Speaker 4: We we we know, well, okay, well, in this context,
- 29:57Speaker 4: this this is how it goes, and in this context
- 30:00Speaker 4: this might work. But really interesting just to kind of
- 30:03Speaker 4: look at the different audiences and how our audiences are different, Selene,
- 30:09Speaker 4: but they're also a lot the same.
- 30:12Speaker 5: Oh yeah, there's over a lot for sure.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Have you heard Keith Barr talk about the nutrient timing part?
- 30:18Speaker 4: No?
- 30:18Speaker 1: Oh, really interesting because you know he's not in our
- 30:22Speaker 1: world per se.
- 30:23Speaker 2: He's all ligamant and tendon and exercise.
- 30:26Speaker 1: He was there yesterday too, But I've listened to a
- 30:29Speaker 1: few of his podcasts and that question always comes up.
- 30:31Speaker 1: He's like, when you're younger, maybe not, but as you
- 30:34Speaker 1: get older, the exercise stimulus is what really allows adaptation,
- 30:39Speaker 1: So why are you not going to feed that stimulus
- 30:41Speaker 1: as soon as possible? And the protein is really important
- 30:44Speaker 1: for tendon and ligaments and it's not. And I think
- 30:47Speaker 1: the conversation about nutrient timing comes into all about muscle growth,
- 30:51Speaker 1: where all like, when we talk about it, we're not
- 30:54Speaker 1: talking about muscle growth per se. We're talking about let
- 30:56Speaker 1: ship down the breakdown effects so that we can start adaptation.
- 31:00Speaker 1: And those adaptations need fuel. So let's get it as
- 31:03Speaker 1: close to the exercises fossiles, especially as we get older,
- 31:06Speaker 1: because we're more resistant to that, to that regrowth in
- 31:10Speaker 1: that that anabolic stimulus. So, and he is someone that's
- 31:14Speaker 1: outside of our circles, explains it, well, I'm like, we
- 31:18Speaker 1: need more of.
- 31:19Speaker 4: That being out there too, Yeah, it's interesting and all
- 31:23Speaker 4: of the all of the big rocks. I mean, as
- 31:26Speaker 4: we always say, Selene, we've had a conversation about this
- 31:29Speaker 4: on a podcast, Like we all know that somebody coming
- 31:33Speaker 4: in as a baby, if they were learning violin, you're
- 31:36Speaker 4: not going to teach them back. You're going to teach
- 31:39Speaker 4: them the foundations and the basics, and that is start
- 31:43Speaker 4: eating a little bit better, Start fueling with protein, Start
- 31:48Speaker 4: adding in some weights, start some habit, make some habits,
- 31:53Speaker 4: and then you get to build onto the next level.
- 31:56Speaker 4: And then after that then you can build onto the
- 31:58Speaker 4: next level. And then there you are where we're all
- 32:01Speaker 4: at with our training, where we have the foundation, we
- 32:05Speaker 4: have the base, and now.
- 32:06Speaker 2: We can really play around with.
- 32:09Speaker 4: Different things and it all will pretty much work because
- 32:13Speaker 4: we have our bodies have that muscle memory and they
- 32:17Speaker 4: have that conditioning to allow us to live an athlete's life.
- 32:23Speaker 4: I mean, I've never been a pro. You guys have,
- 32:26Speaker 4: But for me, I mean I can pretty much do
- 32:29Speaker 4: whatever I want.
- 32:31Speaker 2: Not great.
- 32:31Speaker 4: I mean you should have seen me at the yoga,
- 32:34Speaker 4: the Costa Rica yoga. That was everyone there was just
- 32:40Speaker 4: nailing all of these poses.
- 32:41Speaker 2: I was the one.
- 32:43Speaker 4: Wait a second, I crept with my balance all the time.
- 32:46Speaker 4: I don't know how to do any of these moves,
- 32:48Speaker 4: but you can really get through a lot when you
- 32:51Speaker 4: have the cardio base and you have the resistance that
- 32:56Speaker 4: the strength training base.
- 32:57Speaker 2: You can do what you want.
- 32:59Speaker 3: You can say yes to a lot of things in
- 33:00Speaker 3: your life. And I think that that is what is
- 33:02Speaker 3: so important, is that if you don't, if you don't
- 33:06Speaker 3: nurture those things, your life becomes smaller. And they talked
- 33:10Speaker 3: about that too right at the They talked about that
- 33:13Speaker 3: for brain health, like don't let your life become small
- 33:16Speaker 3: And I thought that is so important because it's so
- 33:19Speaker 3: easy to recede and to let your life become smaller,
- 33:23Speaker 3: especially if you haven't stayed physically strong. There's such a
- 33:28Speaker 3: connection be between being able and strong and having that
- 33:32Speaker 3: self efficacy and that confidence to engaging in your life
- 33:36Speaker 3: more broadly. And it also gives you more energy. Your
- 33:39Speaker 3: mitochondre is better, like it's physically giving you more energy.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Right yeah, yeah.
- 33:44Speaker 1: I lament that maybe two years ago I could be
- 33:49Speaker 1: fit enough to do whatever. If someone's like, let's go
- 33:51Speaker 1: for this two hour two hour run, I could do that.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Let's go do this, Let's go to this adventure two
- 33:57Speaker 1: years ago. Sure that the past two years, with injuries
- 34:00Speaker 1: and travel, I'm like, I have to hesitate and I
- 34:03Speaker 1: hate that. So that's like the motivation to really get
- 34:06Speaker 1: back into being strong and balanced and appropriate reception and
- 34:10Speaker 1: all the things that I've lost that it's so frustrating
- 34:13Speaker 1: having that limitation. And I think about people who are
- 34:16Speaker 1: limited by the fact that they haven't had the kinds
- 34:18Speaker 1: of lives that we've had. It's like, how small and
- 34:22Speaker 1: unfortunate they have to experience life because they can't just
- 34:26Speaker 1: go do whatever they want and have these adventures.
- 34:30Speaker 2: We've got a mountain to climb next year for my
- 34:32Speaker 2: big fifty. That's Selene, you in, I am in, I
- 34:37Speaker 2: am in.
- 34:38Speaker 5: We'll be riding up a volcano. Yes.
- 34:41Speaker 4: I was on the side of the road multiple times
- 34:44Speaker 4: while Stacy and our friends were all up there. I
- 34:47Speaker 4: literally have never stopped. Every five feet I said, I
- 34:50Speaker 4: got to take a rest, and I would just get
- 34:52Speaker 4: off the fight.
- 34:53Speaker 2: It was the hardest thing that I've ever done.
- 34:57Speaker 1: But one of the things that we had that was
- 34:59Speaker 1: harder is we had rented bikes.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Bikes, and I feel like that was the That was
- 35:06Speaker 4: a few months before we had launched power in my life.
- 35:09Speaker 4: I don't even remember those months. I don't remember, but
- 35:13Speaker 4: I know I wasn't on my bike training, so.
- 35:17Speaker 1: But I am bringing my own bike because.
- 35:23Speaker 2: They're good.
- 35:24Speaker 1: They're not good for riding that.
- 35:27Speaker 2: Yeah, too hard for.
- 35:29Speaker 5: A legendary artist world climb.
- 35:33Speaker 1: So we get extra crudos because we were on rented bikes.
- 35:37Speaker 4: Extra yeah, and and very little practice for myself. That
- 35:41Speaker 4: was h That was a very humbling, hard but also
- 35:47Speaker 4: quite fun event, very casual event. So if we move
- 35:51Speaker 4: on to the fundraising event that you invited us to
- 35:58Speaker 4: in San Francisco, I just have to say, it's.
- 36:03Speaker 2: Typical Hayley for me to show up. I can't.
- 36:07Speaker 4: I can't open my phone because I'm like, I know,
- 36:09Speaker 4: they gave directions and said to go in the backyard,
- 36:12Speaker 4: and there's two ways. We're going to go this way,
- 36:15Speaker 4: and I can hear Stacy's speaking, and then we come
- 36:18Speaker 4: up right behind Stacy's speaking and everyone's looking at us.
- 36:24Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. Great, Hi, welcome to the party. So
- 36:29Speaker 2: that was quite fun. But Stacy tell us about that.
- 36:33Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 36:33Speaker 1: So I've been sitting on this idea for quite a
- 36:36Speaker 1: few years because of watching the frustration of the gender
- 36:39Speaker 1: data gap growing and my frustration with algorithms and AI
- 36:44Speaker 1: and seeing how now AI is really perturbing the information
- 36:48Speaker 1: that women get because it's this.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Echo chamber of male data.
- 36:52Speaker 1: And I was talking with my friend Amber, who's also
- 36:55Speaker 1: an American based in New Zealand and she's in the
- 36:57Speaker 1: tech and she's like, we've got to do something about this.
- 37:00Speaker 1: So we created this company that has a nonprofit arm
- 37:04Speaker 1: that's research oriented, and Moments put money into that. So
- 37:08Speaker 1: we have research grants and we also have data repository
- 37:13Speaker 1: from different companies de identified data. So what we're trying
- 37:17Speaker 1: to do is enhance the funding and availability of data
- 37:22Speaker 1: for people to do research specifically on women. But the
- 37:25Speaker 1: big thing is we've vetted over one hundred thousand journal
- 37:29Speaker 1: articles for methods and results and the data that comes
- 37:33Speaker 1: from that. And it's not just me vetting it, because
- 37:37Speaker 1: I have so many friends who are topping their field
- 37:39Speaker 1: in academia. Each one of them have come in and
- 37:42Speaker 1: have vetted the methods and everything. So we've created a
- 37:45Speaker 1: large language model that's based just on female physiology. And
- 37:51Speaker 1: the way that it works is like it's a correction
- 37:53Speaker 1: factor right now, so Aura or we or someone freaks
- 37:57Speaker 1: out because you know you ovulated and all of a
- 38:00Speaker 1: sudden your temperature goes up and your heart rate variability
- 38:03Speaker 1: goes down and says you're not recovered. But our language
- 38:06Speaker 1: model come in and say, well, actually it's because you
- 38:08Speaker 1: opulated and this is completely normal.
- 38:10Speaker 2: These are the steps that you can do from.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Evidence that will allow you to level the playing field.
- 38:16Speaker 2: So we know there's sleep disruption.
- 38:18Speaker 1: These are the things that you can do from evidence
- 38:20Speaker 1: that will help you sleep better. So it's about empowering
- 38:23Speaker 1: women with actual data, and then the research arm will
- 38:28Speaker 1: come back in and feed the language model, so keeps
- 38:30Speaker 1: learning because we want to fight back against all the
- 38:33Speaker 1: stuff that's happening with AI and all the misinformation because
- 38:36Speaker 1: in the bell curve of information, who gets left out?
- 38:39Speaker 2: The outliers?
- 38:40Speaker 1: Who are the outliers, primarily women and our ethnic and
- 38:45Speaker 1: racial diversities, like everything is being left out. So we're
- 38:49Speaker 1: encompassing lived experiences, We're encompassing all the true physiological, biological
- 38:56Speaker 1: data that has been vetted and is real to teach
- 39:00Speaker 1: this language model. Yeah, so that's the company Collective X
- 39:04Speaker 1: and I'm very excited with where it's going and what's
- 39:07Speaker 1: happening because I'm like, we're going to get into women's
- 39:09Speaker 1: sports so that all the platforms that the coaches are.
- 39:11Speaker 2: Reading that the data there.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Actually informs or informs them how their.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Athlete is responding.
- 39:17Speaker 1: Also helps women understand their bodies more, get touch points
- 39:21Speaker 1: into the wearables, get touch points into eventually into healthcare
- 39:25Speaker 1: and everything. So yeah, it's it's my vision and want
- 39:31Speaker 1: to be able to have every woman served.
- 39:35Speaker 2: So yeah, a lot of that.
- 39:37Speaker 5: It's powerhouse team too. Do you have, yeah, put together.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Bringing in more so.
- 39:43Speaker 2: So who who was on the team. Is it Dorothy
- 39:47Speaker 2: from Aura?
- 39:48Speaker 1: Yes, so she's an advisor, So Dori Kilroy is an
- 39:51Speaker 1: advisor and she's from Aura.
- 39:55Speaker 2: We have mel mel Strong wrong from Next.
- 39:58Speaker 3: Long time friend of mine, I'm not since we were
- 40:00Speaker 3: in our twenties, so she's.
- 40:02Speaker 2: An advisor as well.
- 40:03Speaker 1: We have Anne Bradley, she's a lawyer, corporate lawyer, she's
- 40:06Speaker 1: an advisor. And then we have James Senior who came
- 40:10Speaker 1: over from Meta and he's our CTO. So he's boots
- 40:13Speaker 1: on the ground creating the architecture and changing in almost
- 40:17Speaker 1: every day because things move so quickly. And then from
- 40:20Speaker 1: the research side of things, we have Claire Bondenhorse, who
- 40:24Speaker 1: was a PI with me in New Zealand. Now she's
- 40:27Speaker 1: moved to Perth the head up a hospital system for research,
- 40:30Speaker 1: so she's head of research. And then those of us
- 40:34Speaker 1: that are vectors. It's like, I'm there, Abby Smith, Ryan
- 40:37Speaker 1: is there, Bond is there?
- 40:39Speaker 2: Stephen Chung's there.
- 40:41Speaker 5: Yeah, he's great.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 40:43Speaker 1: Holly Thorpe who's a sociologist, Yeah, on a duffy so
- 40:48Speaker 1: she's coaching in psychology.
- 40:51Speaker 2: Who else do we have?
- 40:53Speaker 1: We have Jen Wagner coming in, We have Emily Krause.
- 40:57Speaker 5: Wow.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a whole Like it's a top tier because
- 41:01Speaker 1: we all have been in it for so long and
- 41:03Speaker 1: we've connected and we all have the same idea of
- 41:06Speaker 1: like we want to work together to be able to
- 41:09Speaker 1: really make a difference rather than having these silos of voices.
- 41:13Speaker 2: That keep in fighting that create confusion. Well, I loved
- 41:17Speaker 2: meeting Well, I met Naomi.
- 41:20Speaker 4: I loved meeting Naomi from momentous, but Dorothy was I
- 41:27Speaker 4: went up to her, I had a compliment her on
- 41:29Speaker 4: her beautiful arms. I felt like she always gets armed too.
- 41:33Speaker 4: She's like, well, I'm I've been doing the Power Happens program.
- 41:37Speaker 2: I know you are.
- 41:38Speaker 4: Yeah, she's like, okay, well the arms are looking smashing,
- 41:43Speaker 4: and yes, she's just cute.
- 41:44Speaker 2: She's really adorable. So if we talk.
- 41:47Speaker 4: About the AI, doesn't that the AI can't get behind
- 41:52Speaker 4: paid research right like or not like the firewall, Like
- 41:58Speaker 4: it can't get access to those certain like PubMed articles
- 42:03Speaker 4: that aren't available to everyone.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Can AI get that.
- 42:07Speaker 1: We are in negotiations with some of the journal publishing
- 42:12Speaker 1: houses to then be able to access there behind the paywall.
- 42:16Speaker 1: So we already have an agreement with Sage Journals, and
- 42:19Speaker 1: we're in conversation with a couple of others so that
- 42:23Speaker 1: we can actually get to those to those journal articles
- 42:26Speaker 1: to be able to bring that data in. But for
- 42:29Speaker 1: like the general like Claude or chet GTP or Consensus,
- 42:33Speaker 1: it's all just what's on PubMed. So it's a language
- 42:35Speaker 1: model over PubMed, so they don't actually have the availability
- 42:39Speaker 1: to get all of the research that's there, which is
- 42:41Speaker 1: another problem because again it's just the echo chamber and
- 42:44Speaker 1: Amber you met Amber Taylor, one of my co founders.
- 42:48Speaker 1: She's like this thing with open evidence that's a touch
- 42:51Speaker 1: point for physicians. A couple of months ago was saying,
- 42:54Speaker 1: no one should ever use menopause hormone therapy because it
- 42:57Speaker 1: causes breast cancer. It's like old data, old data that's
- 43:01Speaker 1: been disproven.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Oh that's here, that's a problem. That's a problem.
- 43:07Speaker 3: Right.
- 43:08Speaker 1: But if you've ever seen anything written by Claude, it's
- 43:11Speaker 1: through that mail ens and it always puts the men first.
- 43:14Speaker 1: It's like, we've got to fight that right now. It's
- 43:16Speaker 1: like we're at the cusp of new scientific design and
- 43:20Speaker 1: we need to get in there to have women at
- 43:22Speaker 1: the table to change what's going on. Otherwise it's going
- 43:25Speaker 1: to perpetuate this gender data gap and misinformation and misogyny
- 43:30Speaker 1: and everything, because that's how those models are being formed
- 43:34Speaker 1: and developed. And every day I wake up and I'm like,
- 43:38Speaker 1: oh my gosh, we've got more too late, We've got
- 43:40Speaker 1: to move faster.
- 43:41Speaker 4: Yeah, well it's happening. I mean, a AI is happening
- 43:46Speaker 4: at an alarming rate. But getting the right research in
- 43:49Speaker 4: there is Yeah, white Yestics.
- 43:54Speaker 2: Here we go.
- 43:56Speaker 1: And it is a collective. It's not a Stacy Simms thing.
- 43:59Speaker 1: It's a collective.
- 44:00Speaker 5: No, that's awesome, And it's such a good team. It's
- 44:02Speaker 5: such a good team.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Thanks.
- 44:04Speaker 5: Thanks, Yeah, talk a little bit.
- 44:06Speaker 3: About the study you are embarking on with brain health.
- 44:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 44:11Speaker 1: So Ruth mcfannen is the kind of the head of
- 44:16Speaker 1: women's research at the Cleveland Clinic, and she's also good
- 44:19Speaker 1: friends with Maria Streiver And I was on Maria's podcast
- 44:23Speaker 1: earlier or no end of last year, and we connected
- 44:27Speaker 1: really on brain health because her mash program she has
- 44:30Speaker 1: with her her son where they make the mash bars.
- 44:34Speaker 1: And she's also really behind the women's Alzheimer's movement and
- 44:37Speaker 1: they have grants and Ruth and I and a couple
- 44:41Speaker 1: other people wrote a grant to look at strength training
- 44:44Speaker 1: in Alzheimer's.
- 44:45Speaker 2: So we're looking at.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Can we effectively design a program it's going to attenuate
- 44:52Speaker 1: the onset of dementia or slow the rate of development
- 44:55Speaker 1: for those with the apo E forging early onset, and
- 44:58Speaker 1: then those who are at home with a caregiver creating
- 45:03Speaker 1: a program that helps the caregiver and the person with dementia.
- 45:07Speaker 1: So we know that if you're doing intensity through your
- 45:10Speaker 1: strength training, it affects prefrontal cortex, it increases in neural conductivity,
- 45:15Speaker 1: it also helps with brain metabolism.
- 45:17Speaker 2: So if we know these things.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Inherently, we want to put it in the population that
- 45:20Speaker 1: needs to be served us.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the sills. That's amazing. Thanks. So how long
- 45:26Speaker 2: does that study take from.
- 45:28Speaker 1: A diz, Yeah, we have a it's step wise. First,
- 45:33Speaker 1: we have a focus group because we want to see
- 45:35Speaker 1: what the barriers are, right, we want to see the
- 45:38Speaker 1: attitudes towards strength training, resistance training, what is it so
- 45:41Speaker 1: that we can design an adequate program that will address
- 45:45Speaker 1: those barriers. So we get all the focus groups done
- 45:48Speaker 1: in the first six to eight months. Then we design
- 45:51Speaker 1: a program for each of the groups so we could
- 45:53Speaker 1: have the one on ones when we have a group
- 45:56Speaker 1: fitness class, and we have the ones at home, so
- 45:58Speaker 1: that we can have those touch points and the availability
- 46:01Speaker 1: of getting the data across the board, and then we'll
- 46:04Speaker 1: be able to publish and explain what happened.
- 46:08Speaker 2: It's amazing. And that's just one other studies coming out
- 46:13Speaker 2: of the collective. Yeah. Yeah, Well that we have.
- 46:17Speaker 1: Not allocated the grant that Momentous has given us yet
- 46:21Speaker 1: and so that starts the first of junehere people start
- 46:23Speaker 1: applying and the way that it works, I've taken a
- 46:27Speaker 1: book out of I know this is going to be
- 46:29Speaker 1: a fighting where it's really out of the Women's Health Initiative.
- 46:32Speaker 2: The way they get.
- 46:34Speaker 1: There a lot of their research is you can apply
- 46:38Speaker 1: to use the data points, or you can propose a study,
- 46:42Speaker 1: and you have to be mentored through all of that
- 46:45Speaker 1: to make sure that the methods is sound, the statistical
- 46:48Speaker 1: rationalei is sound, and that's kind of how we're doing it.
- 46:51Speaker 1: So you propose a research project and you're mentored by
- 46:55Speaker 1: one of the vector leads to make sure that the
- 46:58Speaker 1: methods is going to keep of true value for women
- 47:01Speaker 1: data because we want to put your research outcomes back
- 47:04Speaker 1: into the language model. And then once you've done that
- 47:07Speaker 1: a few times, you know the methods and you have
- 47:10Speaker 1: the rights to access the data that we have in
- 47:13Speaker 1: our data repository.
- 47:14Speaker 2: So it's a kind.
- 47:16Speaker 1: Of mentoring program, especially if we have younger academics, and
- 47:20Speaker 1: also a way to get funding without having you go
- 47:22Speaker 1: through universityighborheads. Trying to reinvent the system because the baseline
- 47:28Speaker 1: is broken and we want to create a new baseline.
- 47:31Speaker 4: Quite exciting though, as we have all been in the space,
- 47:35Speaker 4: you to a lot longer than me, but to watch
- 47:39Speaker 4: it where we are the generation that's changing the conversation. Yea,
- 47:46Speaker 4: right right now that's going to be in the history
- 47:50Speaker 4: books and what younger women come up and have such
- 47:53Speaker 4: an easier time, and hopefully that just keeps getting easier
- 47:56Speaker 4: and easier. But I always say that in these groups,
- 48:00Speaker 4: these women that are lifting Selene for the first time
- 48:03Speaker 4: and having these massive aha moments, and you can see
- 48:07Speaker 4: the confidence building in them, they are changing the trajectory
- 48:11Speaker 4: of their life for the first time. And most of
- 48:14Speaker 4: these women have watched their parents or their grandparents at
- 48:20Speaker 4: the later stages of their life and seeing how the
- 48:24Speaker 4: slippery slope of just watching the decline.
- 48:27Speaker 2: There and there.
- 48:28Speaker 4: Now we're we have all of this information, and while
- 48:31Speaker 4: sometimes it might be confusing for the consumer, we have
- 48:35Speaker 4: all of the information our parents did not have. They
- 48:39Speaker 4: didn't know about creatine, they didn't know about protein, they
- 48:41Speaker 4: didn't know about strengths training, and we have it all
- 48:44Speaker 4: right now. It's a really exciting time to be alive.
- 48:48Speaker 4: I know that for some women they think it's confusing,
- 48:51Speaker 4: and I just want to pull back and say, listen,
- 48:53Speaker 4: you have all of this information. You really can't go
- 48:57Speaker 4: wrong if you're doing sixty percent of it right totally.
- 49:02Speaker 3: It's like get engaged to get the basics and take
- 49:05Speaker 3: it from there.
- 49:06Speaker 5: I mean, there's no you don't need to complicate it.
- 49:09Speaker 1: So one of my friends, Kelsey Bailey, she's a rockstar dietitian,
- 49:14Speaker 1: and she tries to explain it where.
- 49:16Speaker 2: You know, you go and you follow.
- 49:17Speaker 1: A recipe for a cake kind of half asked, and
- 49:20Speaker 1: it comes out lopsided and burnt, and you're like, I'm
- 49:23Speaker 1: going to try to make it better by putting butter
- 49:25Speaker 1: cream on and make a beautiful icing, But then the
- 49:28Speaker 1: icing melts off and it still looks like a lotside
- 49:30Speaker 1: of cake. So it's like, using that analogy, just follow
- 49:34Speaker 1: the recipe, get consistent, right, and then your cake's gonna
- 49:37Speaker 1: come out, and then you can think about what kind
- 49:39Speaker 1: of beautiful butter cream of your hot or cold contrast therapies,
- 49:45Speaker 1: your peptote, all that.
- 49:46Speaker 2: Stuff that's out there.
- 49:48Speaker 1: Maybe that could be the sprinkle on top of.
- 49:49Speaker 2: The butter cream.
- 49:51Speaker 1: Right, But let's first get the recipe. Let's get the
- 49:53Speaker 1: consistency to bake a beautiful cake.
- 49:56Speaker 4: Yes, well, are we allowed to talk talk about a
- 50:01Speaker 4: project that you two are doing or is that untrust.
- 50:06Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 50:10Speaker 1: I think we're allowed to talk about it, aren't we.
- 50:12Speaker 5: I mean we're doing another book.
- 50:13Speaker 2: I mean I think, okay, that's what I was going for.
- 50:16Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, okay, awesome about any heats there.
- 50:25Speaker 1: The one that we're working on right now is longevity
- 50:28Speaker 1: and active women, because we know that there's all these
- 50:30Speaker 1: epigenetic changes that happen with consistent exercise. And if you're
- 50:34Speaker 1: an endurance athlete and you've always been an endurance athlete,
- 50:38Speaker 1: what's that projection towards your health span versus if you've
- 50:42Speaker 1: only been a strength athlete or a power athlete, And
- 50:45Speaker 1: trying to tease those out so that women can say, oh, well,
- 50:48Speaker 1: I'm an endurance athlete, and I can see the benefit
- 50:50Speaker 1: if I put in some high intensity some strength training,
- 50:52Speaker 1: or I've just been a power athlete. Maybe I need
- 50:54Speaker 1: to put these in so that I can get these
- 50:56Speaker 1: outcomes for a greater health span. We start off with
- 51:00Speaker 1: all the sex differences and how we got to this point,
- 51:02Speaker 1: and we see, like Selene was really got me thinking
- 51:07Speaker 1: about heart and the way the heart remodels. So we
- 51:10Speaker 1: dug in and found like men's hearts remodeled differently from
- 51:13Speaker 1: women's under chronic exercise. This is why we see v
- 51:17Speaker 1: tech and a fib and a lot of stuff in
- 51:20Speaker 1: mayl and endurance athletes in their mid forties onwards. But
- 51:23Speaker 1: for women, they'll have an anomaly and they're told, oh,
- 51:25Speaker 1: you need to sit out and you can't do any
- 51:27Speaker 1: kind of exercise because you have this arrhythmia, when actually
- 51:30Speaker 1: it's just the way their heart's remodeled and it's being
- 51:32Speaker 1: compared against male data. So we're trying to tease that
- 51:35Speaker 1: out so that women can actually get the good picture
- 51:38Speaker 1: of what's happened to their bodies as they've been exercising
- 51:41Speaker 1: across the years.
- 51:43Speaker 4: Amazing And for those of you, I'm going to assume
- 51:46Speaker 4: that the majority of women listening to this podcast, no Selene,
- 51:51Speaker 4: but if you don't, I would say you need to
- 51:55Speaker 4: follow her. And Selene has been over the last two years.
- 51:59Speaker 4: If I can think of one person that has been
- 52:01Speaker 4: my voice of reason.
- 52:06Speaker 5: My husband would just die to hear that. Helene.
- 52:11Speaker 4: So, Selene, you have written books for how many experts?
- 52:17Speaker 5: My god?
- 52:18Speaker 3: I mean I have authored co authors are contributed to
- 52:23Speaker 3: well over thirty at this point in my career because
- 52:26Speaker 3: I started in nineteen ninety four, so it's been a
- 52:29Speaker 3: long time.
- 52:30Speaker 4: Yeah, well it is. It's an honor to know you,
- 52:35Speaker 4: because it's fascinating. I've read a lot of these books
- 52:38Speaker 4: of the experts that you're behind a lot of that.
- 52:42Speaker 5: So I love it.
- 52:44Speaker 3: I love I mean, it's just I learn a lot,
- 52:46Speaker 3: and I I like bringing ideas into the world.
- 52:50Speaker 5: And it's just it's always been. It's just what I do.
- 52:53Speaker 5: I don't know what else I do if I didn't
- 52:54Speaker 5: do that.
- 52:56Speaker 1: And watching how the trends have changed and come back
- 52:59Speaker 1: and changed.
- 52:59Speaker 5: Again and so much. I mean, it's so crazy.
- 53:02Speaker 3: Like when we were talking about nutrient timing, I'm like
- 53:04Speaker 3: I wrote about that in nineteen ninety eight, you know.
- 53:07Speaker 3: I mean, like a lot of these ideas aren't aren't
- 53:10Speaker 3: super new.
- 53:12Speaker 5: Yea, yeah, it's just been.
- 53:14Speaker 3: I I have such an interesting perspective to watch how
- 53:20Speaker 3: the conversation about everything, you know, whether it's low carb,
- 53:23Speaker 3: high carb, no carb, eggs, fat, like all of it.
- 53:27Speaker 3: Just watching how the conversation evolves and all the voices
- 53:30Speaker 3: that come in and the powers that be and how
- 53:32Speaker 3: things get polarized, and it's just so many times I'm like,
- 53:35Speaker 3: I've seen.
- 53:36Speaker 5: This movie before, I know how it ends, you know,
- 53:38Speaker 5: and it's.
- 53:38Speaker 4: Just well, that's why I would say that you're the
- 53:41Speaker 4: voice of reason because anytime i'm I'll come to you
- 53:44Speaker 4: and I'll say, well, Selene, what do you think about this?
- 53:47Speaker 4: And you have said I have seen every conversation I've
- 53:53Speaker 4: you can find a research article to back up whatever
- 53:57Speaker 4: you want with every yep you can Oh.
- 54:01Speaker 5: Well yeah, I mean I you you really you really can't? Yeah?
- 54:07Speaker 2: Yeah, so interesting.
- 54:09Speaker 4: Well, as we wrap this up, ladies, anything any parting
- 54:12Speaker 4: words of.
- 54:15Speaker 2: What we want to leave this part?
- 54:16Speaker 3: I mean the women listening, No, like, get strength training,
- 54:20Speaker 3: but just keep if you're if you're if you're new
- 54:24Speaker 3: and you're you're a little bit struggling or whatever. I mean,
- 54:28Speaker 3: just just even a couple of times a week, whatever
- 54:31Speaker 3: you can do.
- 54:32Speaker 5: It really makes a difference.
- 54:33Speaker 3: I just I think doing a dedicated strength training practice
- 54:38Speaker 3: is the number one thing that's really going to change
- 54:40Speaker 3: the trajectory of your health span and your longevity.
- 54:44Speaker 5: I very much believe that.
- 54:45Speaker 2: Yeah, I do too.
- 54:47Speaker 1: And thinking about quality over quantity, because I think people
- 54:51Speaker 1: get so oh I have to do an hour and.
- 54:53Speaker 5: A half in the gym, Oh my god, you don't run.
- 54:56Speaker 1: No about being in and out very good with the
- 54:59Speaker 1: quality of the work that you were doing.
- 55:01Speaker 2: That's how you get benefit.
- 55:03Speaker 5: Yeah, because I don't love it. I don't.
- 55:05Speaker 3: I mean, I love how I feel after I'm done,
- 55:07Speaker 3: but I would in a million years rather be running
- 55:09Speaker 3: on the trail, riding my bike. Like I am not
- 55:12Speaker 3: a gym person. I don't like the gym. I don't
- 55:14Speaker 3: you know, it's not my thing. But I am not
- 55:17Speaker 3: no offense, I mean, I love you, but I like
- 55:19Speaker 3: I I would. I love it, but I but the
- 55:26Speaker 3: But I do crave the activity because I love how
- 55:31Speaker 3: it makes me feel and I can feel, and the
- 55:34Speaker 3: benefits are concrete and they're real, and they're.
- 55:37Speaker 5: Actually pretty quick.
- 55:38Speaker 3: Yeah, newbies get that newbie strength that's so great, that
- 55:41Speaker 3: neural musket you know, those newbie gains you can't you
- 55:44Speaker 3: can't beat.
- 55:45Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, I read this really interesting study.
- 55:49Speaker 1: It was really cool where they're looking at the neuron
- 55:52Speaker 1: responses to strength training and young versus old and in
- 55:57Speaker 1: novice lifters. So food it's a strength training and they
- 56:00Speaker 1: both had the same response. So you think, when you're
- 56:03Speaker 1: old and this is like sixty five to eighty five
- 56:06Speaker 1: year old men and women, that you can't develop that
- 56:09Speaker 1: neural pattern and that strength of contraction you can't. Your
- 56:13Speaker 1: body is very willing to, you know, be malleable and adapt.
- 56:18Speaker 1: You just have to make sure that you put the
- 56:20Speaker 1: load on. But then you have a fear factor because
- 56:23Speaker 1: we still have that in the healthcare of practitioners.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Off you're old, you shouldn't left. You're going to get injured.
- 56:28Speaker 2: You should just use a machine.
- 56:30Speaker 3: You're going to get injured and hurt if you don't rightly. Right,
- 56:34Speaker 3: when you don't lift, everything hurts, right, I think about
- 56:37Speaker 3: that all the time. Yeah, I'm like, when I am
- 56:39Speaker 3: lifting and doing things regularly, nothing hurts.
- 56:42Speaker 5: I don't hurt. My knees never hurt. When I run,
- 56:44Speaker 5: nothing hurts.
- 56:45Speaker 3: If I don't do that, If I don't keep my
- 56:47Speaker 3: body strong and durable and all that, things fall apart.
- 56:51Speaker 5: Real fast, really.
- 56:53Speaker 3: Really really fast.
- 56:54Speaker 1: Yeah. I read an editorial and there's a group of
- 56:58Speaker 1: people that are really trying to put wish to change
- 57:00Speaker 1: that narrative in the older older population, because we have
- 57:05Speaker 1: the data to show that doesn't matter what age you are.
- 57:09Speaker 1: It's all relative to your age and ability. But if
- 57:13Speaker 1: you lived with intensity and intent, you get so many
- 57:18Speaker 1: gains from.
- 57:19Speaker 2: Brain, muscle, hurt, bone, all of those things.
- 57:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 57:23Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm going to give a little shout out
- 57:25Speaker 4: to the women that feel like they're left out if
- 57:30Speaker 4: they have anatomical reason or an injury or something that
- 57:38Speaker 4: I have our osteoarthritis. I can't like this hurts me.
- 57:43Speaker 4: Do what you can push yourself where you're able to
- 57:47Speaker 4: and make that program work for you. You don't need
- 57:52Speaker 4: permission to and you don't need to feel bad. There
- 57:55Speaker 4: are so many workarounds, and these are the questions that
- 57:58Speaker 4: I get all the time. Well, I can't do this,
- 58:01Speaker 4: I have this injury. Great, there's nine million other exercises.
- 58:05Speaker 2: That you can do.
- 58:07Speaker 4: And if you can't do a backsquat because it hurts
- 58:09Speaker 4: your spine, if you have a gym, do all of
- 58:13Speaker 4: these other things where you can push that doesn't hurt
- 58:16Speaker 4: the spine. But then find ways that you can really
- 58:19Speaker 4: make your program your own. There's a whole wide range
- 58:24Speaker 4: of getting benefits, and there's I always say good, better, best.
- 58:28Speaker 4: The best is the what we're putting into these programs
- 58:31Speaker 4: and the advice that we're giving for this optimization here.
- 58:35Speaker 4: Then there's good that works. Think of all the women
- 58:39Speaker 4: that aren't even doing that, and then there or there's better,
- 58:41Speaker 4: and then there's good anywhere on that spectrum. If you
- 58:45Speaker 4: are doing something ideally, if you can do all of it,
- 58:49Speaker 4: you should do all of it. You should be pushing yourself.
- 58:52Speaker 4: You should be the body is adaptable and really making
- 58:56Speaker 4: that change. But if for whatever reason you have these limitations,
- 59:02Speaker 4: great work with the framework that you have and get
- 59:06Speaker 4: the benefits that way as well.
- 59:08Speaker 2: Everyone deserves to be in the weights room.
- 59:10Speaker 3: Absolutely, Rea the end amen.
- 59:12Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 59:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 59:14Speaker 2: Yeah, well, ladies, this has been I would go on
- 59:18Speaker 2: and on, but I have a meeting, so.
- 59:23Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm kind of hungry.
- 59:27Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope for you too.
- 59:29Speaker 4: I hope we get to get together in person again. Yes,
- 59:34Speaker 4: and if not, for my fiftieth birthday next year, I'm
- 59:37Speaker 4: making it mandatory you both are there and we're doing
- 59:42Speaker 4: the mountains or just everyone prep right now, Selene can
- 59:45Speaker 4: do it tomorrow and not even have it be hard.
- 59:48Speaker 4: So Stacy will be right after her and I'll eventually.
- 59:51Speaker 2: Get there on my own.
- 59:53Speaker 4: But anyways, Stacy, I just want to end this by saying,

- 1:00:17Speaker 4: menopause on the map and having such a big part
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: in these communications and conversations where when we go to
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: a conference like Longevity and you're the headliner, two thousand
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: women are showing up without even a second thought, and
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: the majority of them are there for you.
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: Jane Fonder was the bonus. But I think that as.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: You have been in the limelight and had all sorts
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: of angles thrown.
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: At you, you are.

- 1:00:51Speaker 4: have the accolades that come with that. So thank you
