1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Dr Stacy seems welcome to Project one hundred. How are 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:03,519 Speaker 1: you going? 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Oh, thanks for having me. I am currently freezing in 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,480 Speaker 2: New Zealand because it's winter, but pretty. 5 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 3: Much really, yeah, it's cold. There were you in the 6 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 3: south part of New Zealand right the north. 7 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: Now I'm on the North Island about two and a 8 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 2: half hours southeast of Auckland, but we get the wind 9 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 2: that comes straight up of Antarctica, and so it might 10 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: be sunny and you go outside like, oh, that's freezing. 11 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: I appreciate the opportunity to talk to you. 12 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 3: I mean, like you've really been at the forefront of 13 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 3: talking about women's health, particularly in relation to exercise and 14 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 3: all the regimes that we have to have to be, 15 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 3: you know, to be healthy and live longer. What is 16 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 3: it though, in particular that females or women should be 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: looking at relative to muscle strength, you know, long term 18 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 3: health longevity generally speaking. Why is it different for women 19 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 3: to say relative to men or is it the same thing? 20 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 2: Well, I have to bring everyone back to like the 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: origins of research and medicine and how all this trajectory 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 2: of health started and we have to think about who 23 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 2: was in the room and it was men because women 24 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 2: weren't allowed in the room because they weren't deemed to 25 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: be smart enough or have a seat at the table 26 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: to have a voice. So as we start looking at 27 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: all the research and everything that's come out and the trajectories, 28 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: it's all on a false spaceline for women, so based 29 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: on male data. So if we look at the trajectories 30 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 2: of longevity, it's also viewed through that false spaceline. Because 31 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: men and women age differently, there's systems age in a 32 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: linear fashion, but that linearity is different, so we'll see 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 2: different time points of cardiovascular issues that have between men 34 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: and women. We know women have an uptake in cardiovascular 35 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: issues when they hit late perimenopause, but men, depending on 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 2: if they're an athlete or not, might start in their 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 2: forties or it might start in their sixties, So we 38 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: see different delineations. And when we talk about muscle and bone, 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: there's specific delineations for that. As we think about aging 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 2: between men and women, we know that as women age, 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: we tend to have a dual effect of the loss 42 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 2: of hormones as well as an aging factor, so that 43 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: affects our ability to have a really strong muscle contraction 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: to produce power to have the ability to have lots 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 2: of appropriate reception and agility, and this happens a lot 46 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: faster and a lot sooner than is in men. Men 47 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: have a linear decrease in both lean mass and that power, 48 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: but it's at smaller decrements where women have a big 49 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 2: whack of a loss of power and then they start 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: to lose mass. So we start talking about what is 51 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: optimal for men versus women for longevity and health span. 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 2: We have to actually think what is the baseline for 53 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: one sex versus the baseline of the other sex, and 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: what are the risk factors for major implications of avoiding 55 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: frailty and things like Alzheimer's As we get older. 56 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: Is there enough daughta around or do you need more 57 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: daughter and women to be able to start to build 58 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 3: out really solid, good baselines as to how women should 59 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: protect against all these diffferences. 60 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: We have enough data to start writing the guidelines, but 61 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: what we do need is more robust data on the outliers. 62 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: So if we think about the typical woman who has 63 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: access to health care and therefore has access to being 64 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: in databases for research or being a research participant, it 65 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: tends to be an upper middle class white woman, and 66 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: so we know that there are complete ethnic differences socioeconomic differences. 67 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,839 Speaker 2: So we have enough for the middle of the Bell 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: curve to make general recommendations and to guide the middle 69 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: of the Bell curve. Right now, we're really trying to 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: upscale the outliers, like what happens if you come from 71 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: a Latino or pacifica background. How does culture and your 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: genetics impact different risk factors. So the data gap is 73 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: still there, but unfortunately it is still growing instead of 74 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: shrinking between men and women, especially in the age of AI, 75 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: because we start seeing AI and AI is turning out 76 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: outcomes and insights based on that broken baseline of male data. 77 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 2: So you know, we'll have healthcare professionals that are turning 78 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: to places like open evidence for information. But when you 79 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: compare open evidence versus a general chat like anthropics, Claude 80 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: claud is actually better than what this particular medical one 81 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: is supposed to be because the algorithms are learning from 82 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: that poor baseline, whereas if you have a large data lake, 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: then it can learn from more robust information. 84 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty amazing. 85 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: I don't think many people know about this, and I'm 86 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 3: sort of already taken back by that, are you saying 87 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: there is a difference in the chemical system of a 88 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 3: woman relative to a man, or a female relative to 89 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 3: a mile or is it getting right down to the 90 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 3: cellar level, at a cellular level, is there a difference 91 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 3: between mile and female? 92 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 2: Both? 93 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: Right? 94 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: Both? 95 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: Wow? 96 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: So if we think about in utero, we have XX 97 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: versus XY, like this is primarily the research that we 98 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: have right now on the binary sex differences. So we know, 99 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: oh that what happens is the Y is just. 100 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: A small chromo chromosomes. 101 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, So the Y chromosome is actually an X 102 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: with half of it's turned off because as we start 103 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: to have testosterone, it mutes the second half of an X. 104 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: So when we see under a microscope, the X is 105 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 2: huge and the Y is very small. So when we 106 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: start thinking about sex differences from a chromosomal standpoint, it 107 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: depends on the X and we have a silent X. Factors. 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: That means when you have two x's they talk to 109 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: each other to be able to turn certain genes on 110 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: and off. When you have an X Y you lose 111 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: some of that capability of having that conversation, which is 112 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: why feeding forward we see things like less metabolic dysfunction 113 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 2: in men versus women when we're looking at something like 114 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 2: shift work, because the two x's are having a stronger 115 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 2: conversation and a turn on the genetic profile to create 116 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: metabolic dysfunction under circadium misalignment than the x y. So 117 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: we have these specific sex differences, and then we have 118 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: environmental considerations as well as sex hormones that then can 119 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 2: create an epigenetic change. So we think about a lock 120 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: and a key, So the hormones can be the key 121 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: that unlocks a certain gene code even though it's not 122 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: changing DNA. So what I mean by that, I'll take 123 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: estrogen for an example, a muscle fiber. So everyone thinks 124 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: that testosterone is responsible for building muscle tissue. This is 125 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: why men get so bulky and can really put on 126 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: lean mass really effectively. We look at testosterone in women. 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way. Testosterone actually can inhibit muscle growth. 128 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: Wow. 129 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: But estrogen is a driver factor, driving factor for women's muscle. 130 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: So it's responsible for how our basic basal cell or 131 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 2: our satellite cell of muscle responds to tension, so it'll 132 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: upturn it and turn on some stem cells of muscle 133 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 2: to grow muscle. It's also responsible for how our contractile 134 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 2: proteins will come together to create a contraction. So we 135 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 2: know that estradyle or estrogen is so important for muscle 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: function and bone function and women, where everyone on the 137 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: outside of the bubble think it's testosterone because we've had 138 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 2: all of this conversation about testosterone being muscle and bone building. 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: Yes in the male body in the xy but in 140 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: the female body it's completely different. 141 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: Women have testosterone as well, but obviously not to the 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 3: levels of men have. So what is the function of 143 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: testosterone and women then. 144 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: So we see that it does help with bone strength, 145 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: it's libido oriented. It also counters some of estrogen's what 146 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: we call cell building capacity, so it counters some of 147 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: what estrogen does. So does progesterone, and then all three 148 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: of the female sex hormones can kind of break down 149 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 2: to certain steroids to then help other systems of the body. 150 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 2: So they work in conjunction. It's just what is the 151 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: ratio Whereas men have a lot of testosterone and they 152 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 2: have a little bit of estrogen and a little bit 153 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: of progesterone, so they counter each other but in different ways. 154 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: Is it fair to say therefore when you were talking 155 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: about the X and Y chromosomes and how the Y 156 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 3: chromosome is effective, the next sort of like an X 157 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: chromosome with half the half functions turned off. 158 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: Is it because. 159 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: We have those like a male have those X Y 160 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 3: chromosomes in them in their cells, that as a result 161 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: of that, those chromosomes then express different chemicals, so different 162 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 3: hormones into our whole system. And as a result of that, 163 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 3: we males respond differently to the way the two X 164 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: chromosomes and the female cell will get express certain hormones 165 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: for them to respond their way. Is that what we're 166 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 3: talking about when it come we're going from the settling 167 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 3: a level now to the chemical level. 168 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: But that is the that seems to be the procedure. Yeah, 169 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: Is that right? 170 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 2: Exactly? Yeah? And I mean I like using caffeine as 171 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 2: an example, right, We know that caffeine can affect you 172 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 2: or not affect you. And so when we look at 173 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: a genetic standpoint, we see that there are certain what 174 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: we call alleles. So that's part of a genetic code, 175 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 2: and if you have two alleles of this particular gene, 176 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: then you're really sensitive, regardless of your man or a woman. 177 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: And do you get one from mom, one from dead right, yep. 178 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 2: But when it comes down to when you drink caffeine 179 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 2: what happens. So when you drink caffeine, women's bodies tend 180 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: to hold on to it for a longer period of 181 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: time because those alleles that turn on the response to 182 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: caffeine and women, they turn on an enzyme, but the 183 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: response of that enzyme is not as fast or as 184 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 2: robust as it is when it's turned on by the 185 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: X Y. So we can have the same chemical coming in, 186 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: we could have the same what we call sip gene 187 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: and alleles, but it's the expression of the chemical response 188 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: from those alleles based on xx versus x Y that 189 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: determines caffeine clearance. 190 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Can I just check on that caffeine paige? 191 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,080 Speaker 3: Based on when you say caffeine clearance, do you I 192 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 3: mean the time it takes for the caffeine to have 193 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: an effect on the on you know, on on my 194 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 3: brain or do you do amount the time. 195 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 2: It lasts, how long it lasts, and how long it clears. 196 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: So this is why you have a lot of the 197 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: guys you're like, Oh, I could have an espresso after 198 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: dinner and I could still go to sleep, not a problem, 199 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: not me. But then then women are like, oh, I 200 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: can't have it afternoon because then I really can't sleep. 201 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Wow. 202 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, how does that then inform a woman as to 203 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: let's say we're talking, because it's going to be difficult 204 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 3: because you've got different age groups, But let's say a 205 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: thirty to forty year old woman who maybe hasn't had kids. Perhaps, 206 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: how does that what you just told me? Then inform 207 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 3: a thirty to forty year old woman to prepare for 208 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 3: an exercise regime? And what is it that you if 209 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 3: you were advising this particular individual, and this is not 210 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 3: an advice show, but if you advising this particular individual hypothetically, 211 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 3: what would they be trying to build? 212 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: So this this is a really interesting decade from thirty 213 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: to forty because one, we're still trying to understand did 214 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 2: you reach peak bone mass and were you capable of 215 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: reaching peak bone mass and muscle mass when you were 216 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: in your teens in twenties, Because if you start hitting 217 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 2: your early thirties and you didn't hit your peak bone mass, 218 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: then that's what we have to worry about. Because you 219 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: get to your mid thirties and you start getting into 220 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: more hormone dysfunction or perimenopause, which can accelerate bone loss. 221 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: So when we're talking to someone about an exercise routine, 222 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 2: especially in our thirties to forties, we lean into what 223 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: has been lifestyle habits and what is the trajectory if 224 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 2: you haven't reached the peak span of that particular system. 225 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: So for someone who's thirty to forty, those are the 226 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: first things I talk about. I'm like, Okay, what was 227 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: your lifestyle when you were a teenager, what was your 228 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 2: lifestyle when you were in your twenties, what's your training history? 229 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: Because from there I can say, hey, you know what, 230 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: we want to really boost the peak span of your 231 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 2: bone because we know that bone mass peaks for both 232 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 2: men and women in their early twenties, and if we 233 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 2: haven't reached that peak bone mass, we've missed peak span. 234 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: We want to build that before we lose it, because 235 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 2: if we don't build it as much as we can, 236 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: then the cliff of the drop off is so severe 237 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: that we're facing osioporosis in our late forties. 238 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: Wow. 239 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 2: So this is where it becomes really I guess, particular 240 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: in the type of exercise that we do in which 241 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: decade we're in in our teams. Through our twenties or 242 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: early thirties, you can pretty much do what you want 243 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 2: and you're going to get pretty good results. When we 244 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 2: start getting into our early thirties to our late thirties, 245 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: women really start to question what's going on. We start 246 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: seeing more and more what we call ann ovulatory cycles 247 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 2: or regular minstrual cycles. That's an early sign of perimenopause. 248 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: If you're not seeing that, when we start to see 249 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: less of a response to the training that you're doing, 250 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,599 Speaker 2: so it might take a greater effort or more recovery 251 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 2: to get the same gains as a male counterpart. Or 252 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: even if you're comparing yourself to your early thirties to 253 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 2: your late thirties, you'll see that there is a significant 254 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 2: difference between the way that your body responded. And it's 255 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 2: not an age factor. It's a sex hormone factor because 256 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 2: men won't start to experience that until they're in their 257 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: mid to late forties to fifties, So there is this 258 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: whole decade shift in the thirties to forties is really important. 259 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: We're talking about how are we going to maximize our 260 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: peak span, which is each system reaches a peak at 261 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: different points in our life, and we want to be 262 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: able to maximize that so that the cliff of drop 263 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: off is way less that we have to worry about 264 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: hitting the bottom when we get to our late forties 265 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,599 Speaker 2: early fifties and having to rebuild. 266 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: And I'm picking on thirty forties for particular reason because 267 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 3: they don't want to go to forty fifty to fifty sixty, 268 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 3: but just starting on thirty forties, what are the sort 269 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,599 Speaker 3: of questions they're asking themselves in informing themselves as to 270 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: how they should excose between thirty and forty relative to say, 271 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: what they should have they made done from fifteen to thirty. 272 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 3: I mean, do they ask themselves or did I play 273 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 3: soccer or football? Was I a basketball or a netballer? 274 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: Did I lift weights? What are the sort of questions 275 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 3: or none of those? 276 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: Probably? What are the sort of questions are those are? 277 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 2: So if we're looking at interminute sport like soccer or 278 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: rugby or even netball, those are all high intensity, low 279 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 2: intensity that's really good polarization and there's lots of agility, 280 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: appropriate reception. Did I lift weights? Great? Yes, because then 281 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: we know that you're also putting impact on the bone 282 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: that's going to help reach that peak bone mass. The 283 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: other question that we really need to dig into is 284 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: what was your nutrition. Were you able to fuel for 285 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: your exercise and recover appropriately from training. Were there times 286 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: where you lost your period or times where became really 287 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: irregular or did you start late like the minstrual cycles 288 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: a big telling on what we call energy availability, because 289 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: if we get into times of low energy availability, it 290 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: mutes all of our systems. So we're not really maximizing 291 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: muscle cell development and growth and strength development, we're not 292 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: really maximizing bone turnover. If a woman is saying, oh, yeah, 293 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 2: I played soccer, but I had a lot of stress reactions, 294 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: so not full stress fractures, but stress reactions in the bone, 295 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: then I know that they didn't reach peak bone mass 296 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: because their bone isn't strong enough to withstand the intermittent 297 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: activity of soccer. Did you have an ACL injury or 298 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: any kind of other soft tissue injury. From a mechanistic standpoint, 299 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: most women who play soccer have some kind of knee issue, 300 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: and that's because they're overdeveloped in their quad and not 301 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 2: developed enough in their posterior chain. So then we have 302 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: to look at the strength training that they're doing. So 303 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: it's really if I was going to sit down with 304 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 2: someone and ask them a question so they can ask 305 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: this themselves. When I was fifteen to thirty, what was 306 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 2: my sporting like life? Did I have big holes in 307 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 2: my sporting life? Was I someone who just ran or 308 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: someone just rowed, or someone who just swam. That isn't 309 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: kind of the kind of stuff that you can do 310 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 2: to build bone. So we have to think of putting 311 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: in some strength training, some jump training. Was I someone 312 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: who did lots of intermittent sport? Fantastic? You have a 313 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: leg up on peak span, because we know that that's 314 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: taxing cardiovascular system, it's helping metabolic control, it's helping reduce 315 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: body fat, and it's putting different load on the bone. 316 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: But we still don't have a large aerobic base, so 317 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: maybe we need to work on that, and we also 318 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: need to work on the weaknesses within in the weight 319 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: room so we don't get into soft tissue injury and 320 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 2: we can keep building the bone and the muscle that 321 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: we need. So it's really, what have you done from 322 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: a training history and what do we need to maximize 323 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: what you didn't do? 324 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 3: Is it too late at thirty to forty to start 325 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: to do this resistance work. 326 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: Not at all, Not at all. It's never too late. 327 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: There was this really cool study that came out two 328 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 2: months ago from the UK that was actually looking at 329 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: this specific question from muscle and muscle strength. So it 330 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: took eighteen to twenty two year old men and women 331 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: and seventy five to eighty year old men and women 332 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: that had never lifted weights before, put them both on 333 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: the same four week progressive resistance training, so they're all 334 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 2: doing relative strength work to their body weight and ability. 335 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: And then they were looking at the strength of the 336 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 2: contraction and the tonality, so that means how fast the 337 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: nerve conducted to create a contraction. So the old line 338 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: of thought was as you get older, you can't develop 339 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 2: a really fast contraction, that the ability to generate power 340 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 2: is not there. This study showed it's completely not true 341 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: that regardless of where you are, because the body is 342 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 2: very malleable and responds to stress, that wherever you are 343 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: in an age span, you can improve your muscle function. 344 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 2: And this is what we're after, especially when we're talking 345 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: about avoiding sarcopina or avoiding osteoporosis. Does not matter how 346 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: old you are, you can still develop power and strength 347 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: and lean mass and bone. 348 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 3: Maybe you could define what you mean by muscle function 349 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: because it's your bility, power, strength, durance. Do I mean 350 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 3: there's probably a number of factors towards what from a 351 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 3: scientific point of view, what are you talking about? 352 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 2: So when we're talking about muscle muscle function, I'm bringing 353 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: it right down to central nervous system, not how much 354 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: muscle we have, because we could have a lot of 355 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: muscle mass, but that doesn't mean that it can respond 356 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 2: really quickly. Say you step off a curb when you're older, 357 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 2: and you don't have the muscle function to quickly correct yourself. 358 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: So you've done for Beeva exactly. 359 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 2: Because we know that if you're in your seventies and 360 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: you break your hip, you have a sixty percent chance of. 361 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: Dying within two years of something. 362 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 2: So when we're talking about muscle function and how fast 363 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 2: that nerve conducts and how fast it can affect the 364 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: muscle fibers to contract, that's what we're after. And that's 365 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 2: also why we say pure strength and power, because that's 366 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: connecting the central nervous system to be able to respond 367 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 2: quickly to a stimulus to then create a nerve impulse 368 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: down to a whole bunch of muscle fibers to coordinate 369 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: them to contract quickly, and that's what we're after. So 370 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 2: when we talk about strength training, that's the very first 371 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 2: mechanism of adaptation is a central nervous system being able 372 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 2: to tap into quick conduction and really grabbing muscle fibers 373 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: together to coordinate them to contract at the same time 374 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 2: really strongly, and that's the important part of muscle function. 375 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 2: Then we can start talking about developing more mass. And 376 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 2: as you're developing the mass, we also want to have 377 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: that central nervous system thing. The good thing about strength 378 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: training is it doesn't matter what rep range you're in, 379 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: you're going to develop mass. But as we get older, 380 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 2: we want to focus on the heavier loads and the 381 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 2: lower rep range to keep tapping into that central nervous 382 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 2: system because we want to generate that power and that 383 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: quick conduction of the nerve because that's very protective. We 384 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: talk about preventing frailty, we talk about skeletal longevity, and 385 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 2: all of that is on this power based part. And yes, 386 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: will develop mass regardless if you're a man or a woman, 387 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 2: regardless of what strength or what rep rains you're in. 388 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: But we really try to pull people who are the 389 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 2: forties plus down into the power based of a zero 390 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: to eight reps at a heavier load to really tap 391 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 2: in the central nervous system to maintain the type two fibers, 392 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 2: to maintain agility, appropriate reception and reaction. 393 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: Is that the reason therefore that some exercises like for example, 394 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 3: and this applies amount of female like for example, our 395 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 3: deadlifts are important because say, the central of the system 396 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: is sort of activating a lot of muscles, not just one. 397 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: A compound Movement's probably a better way putting it, is 398 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 3: that the reason that's so important. 399 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 2: Yes, because it is coordinating total body. And this is 400 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: a functional movement. So if we talk about a compound 401 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 2: movement like a deadlift, you can also think about it. 402 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: Is you have to bend down and pick up your 403 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: grandkid or your kid or a big suitcase. Right, So 404 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: you're effectively doing a deadlift when you do that, because 405 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: you have to activate the whole body. If you're not 406 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: used to doing dead lifts, you might hurt your back, 407 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 2: you might not have the strength to pull it up right, 408 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: because if you're just doing leg press, you don't have 409 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 2: that full coordination. There's a time and a place for 410 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 2: those complementary machine stuff. But when we're talking about being 411 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: really focused on functional movement, it's compound movements of the 412 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: push pull the front like your squat movements of a 413 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 2: knee focus or your hinge motion for posterior chain. So 414 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: you are looking at your squats, your dead lifts, your 415 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: bulgarian split squats, your push presses, all of that because 416 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: it is coordinating every muscle in the body to do 417 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: a movement. And the other thing that we know from 418 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: doing heavier compound movements, and this is primarily because I 419 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 2: have some research going in the Alzheimer's space that we're 420 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: seeing that with heavier movements because it's such a neural load, 421 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: so that means it really taps into central nervous system 422 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: and the brain to be able to coordinate and lift 423 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: things like that. That with the heavier loads, we have 424 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: a really good neural connectivity in the prefrontal cortex. So 425 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 2: that's the very first part that goes because that's our 426 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: cognition and a reaction, and that's the first part that 427 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 2: goes with dementia and Alzheimer's. So by doing the compound 428 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 2: movements and lifting heavier, we are actually reducing the onset 429 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 2: of dementia by keeping those neural conversations and connections going. 430 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: We see that lighter loads and body weight doesn't do 431 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 2: the same thing. It increases what we call BD and F, 432 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: which is like miracle growth for the brain. So it 433 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: does help with brain volume and brain health, but not 434 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 2: with neural connection. I think this is the conversation that 435 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 2: is not had in the strength and conditioning world about 436 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,479 Speaker 2: what are we doing besides just trying to put on mass. 437 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: For me, I'm trying to get women and men to 438 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 2: understand we want to protect the brain because that's how 439 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 2: we actually can have health span. How do we do 440 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 2: that in the gym? Heavier loads, jumping plios, lots of 441 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: different kind of confusion to the muscles. You might be 442 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 2: doing a lateral bar, slams, or you know, twists and 443 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 2: catches and land mine presses, which are all still total 444 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: body movements, but it creates such a neural load that 445 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 2: improves brain function. 446 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: Gogle, I wouldn't mind talking about that for a moment. 447 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 3: Is because you know, like let's say we are stepping 448 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: off a curb and potentially, you know, we could fall 449 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: over and if we're building muscle strength to help us 450 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: with those functions, and we decide to do dead list, 451 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 3: which is quite a linear sort of movement, what about 452 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 3: these players, I mean like jumping up in our box 453 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 3: and then jumping from box to box and all those 454 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: sorts of things. What about that type of exercise regime? 455 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: Does that have the same effect as say lifting a 456 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 3: heavy load. Always it fit into the regime. 457 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, So if we think about players and we think 458 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: about box jumps, and you see these people doing amazing 459 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: kind of bounds and jumps and things, that's our pliometric work. 460 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 2: So I mean, I've seen people who are taking one 461 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: of the trap bars, so you know, the hex bar 462 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: or deadlift, and they have one hundred kilos on it 463 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: and they're jumping with it because they have so much power. Right, 464 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: So that's been trained into them and they've maintained their 465 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: fast twitch. From a benefit standpoint, we know that plyometric 466 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 2: work not having to jump high, but having to work 467 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: on that rebound. So maybe we're doing what we call 468 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: contrast training with squats, So we do two or three 469 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: reps at a heavy load, then you have twenty seconds rest, 470 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: and then you do squat jumps, so you're getting that 471 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: plyo work and under furshet of the heavy load. Then 472 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 2: you do the squat jumps, and then you go back 473 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: in no wight, no wight, no waight, just body weight. 474 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 2: Then you go back and do another heavy load. You're 475 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 2: incorporating a little bit of confusion but also improving that power. 476 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: So it's not about necessarily having to have specific high 477 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: jump pliometrics. It's like, where can we instigate some agility 478 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 2: and power within what we're already doing. If we want 479 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 2: to challenge in ourselves, then maybe yeah, we want to 480 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: build up our box jumps, but that's not as important 481 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 2: as making sure that you are jumping. 482 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 3: You think there's a lot on you know, obviously all 483 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 3: of us look at Instagram and social can be good 484 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 3: and bad, can motivate us, but at the same time 485 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 3: can sort of be a bit misleading because like there 486 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 3: seems to be a competition at the moment, at least 487 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: on my on the algorithm that is playing itself to 488 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 3: me is that plymetrics is becoming it's nearly becoming a 489 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: bit of a shelf game. 490 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: It's nearly like saying those deadlifts. 491 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: Are useless and you should be doing this ply metrics 492 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 3: and actually, when you look at these dudes like they're 493 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 3: unbelievably built, Like, I'm thinking, my god, I never looked 494 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 3: like that, and I don't know anyone who's had looked 495 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: like that, And maybe I should have been doing this 496 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: sort of stuff before. Is this misleading us? And where 497 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 3: social fit into this whole game that you're in. 498 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, So if we think about social and clickbait, that's 499 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 2: the problem, right. People will put really polarizing things on 500 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 2: social to get people to watch them. And it's just 501 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: like reality TV is completely scripted. It's curated to be 502 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 2: what is coming out, right, So when we start really 503 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: leaning into social media, it doesn't give you the full 504 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: story or the nuances. So if I'm thinking about the 505 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: algorithm that you're locked into, with everyone showing off about 506 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 2: their power moves, I always go back to, well, how 507 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: did you develop that power in the first place. We 508 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: know that hip thrust and deadlifts are paramount for being 509 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 2: able to build up the posterior chain in order to 510 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 2: have a high sprint capacity and a high power of 511 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 2: jumping capacity. So that's the part that they're not telling you. 512 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: They're not saying I had to build a base of 513 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 2: strength first before I could do these power moves. And 514 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 2: this is where we start to see injury and deflation 515 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: and lack of confidence because people who are leaning into 516 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: these clickbait reels or these short snippets of time that 517 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: have been curated for a message rather than giving the 518 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 2: full story. 519 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 3: So it's a slow build too. So notion, so how 520 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 3: important is that for people to understand? Look, I've never 521 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 3: done the exercise gys. I would like to do some 522 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 3: exercise because I now understand that there's a lot of 523 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 3: benefits in terms of lifespan, but also probably equally important, 524 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 3: probably maybe more important health span being healthy during that 525 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 3: long life. I'm going to start doing some resistance work. 526 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: For example, my dad never did resistance work, but around 527 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 3: about eighty five he started. He asked me could I 528 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 3: get him some handweights, and then he conquered those ones 529 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,239 Speaker 3: that are only two and a half. Then he got 530 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 3: to five kilo's and he started standing up, sitting down, 531 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: the chairls and those sorts of things. He realized, I 532 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 3: don't know why I realized, but he realized that they're 533 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 3: you know, lifting some resistance stuff is important. What should 534 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: we be doing now? If where you know, if a 535 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 3: forty year old person sitting here listening to you speak, woman, 536 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 3: what she should should she be thinking about? I don't 537 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 3: mean sort of building a program, but what you should 538 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 3: be thinking about as having like an appropriate program like 539 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 3: between say heart lune and resistance work. I mean she 540 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: should be doing resistance for one hour a week. I 541 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 3: mean I listened to Peter Tayor, and Peter sort of 542 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: says things like, you know, you should be doing you know, 543 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty minutes of zone two and three 544 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: and then you should Like it's sort of like I think, fuck, like, 545 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 3: I don't know if time to do all this sort 546 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 3: of stuff. That's like I don't I'm trying to wake away. 547 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: The optimum is and what should a woman be thinking about? 548 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: There was a study that came out last week about 549 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 2: weight lifting and what's the optimal sweet spot? Yeah, ironically 550 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: it's one hundred and nineteen minutes a week, not a week. Yeah, 551 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 2: So I mean that can be divided up into what 552 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 2: three thirty ish minute sessions a week yep, right, so 553 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: it doesn't take a lot and ideally total body so 554 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: you're doing some compound movements after that, they see the 555 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: risk factors for all cause mortality doesn't go down, but 556 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: it really does significantly have an impact on things like 557 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: dementia and bone and cyclopamia. When you hit that one 558 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: hundred and nineteen minutes. 559 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: Positively positive, yeah. 560 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, which is a pretty far cry from the 561 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: to moderate exercise resistance training sessions that things like ACSM 562 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 2: have out there. We're starting to see more and more 563 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 2: research on the benefits of resistance training. Not only that, 564 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 2: but resistance training does give you metabolic changes. As we 565 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 2: talk about zone two and mitochondria and that kind of stuff, 566 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 2: we still get mitochondrial changes with resistance training. And when 567 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 2: we talking about cardiovascular and like reducing things like viscraal fat, 568 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 2: we need a really high intensity work for that. We 569 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 2: know that short bouts of really high intensity work improve 570 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: cardiovascular because one we're having to really shift blood rapidly 571 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 2: to the muscles and the heart under high loads, so 572 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 2: we have a vascular component that improves our blood pressure 573 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 2: and the way that our body controls blood flow. We 574 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 2: see that when you do high intensity it uses a 575 00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 2: lot of blood gluecose, so it improves insulin sensitivity because 576 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 2: as the muscle cells then adapt to be able to 577 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: use insulin with our used glucose without insulin. If we 578 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: have less insulin resistance, then we also decrease our leptin resistance, 579 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: which becomes a problem for women in their mid to 580 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: late forties where they never feel like they're really full 581 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 2: and they're craving lots of carbohydrate. There's a change in 582 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: the gut microbiome, but we are also starting to see 583 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: a little bit of leptin resistance because that goes up 584 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: as insulin resistance goes up. So if we're talking about 585 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 2: high intensity work that helps with metabolic from a hormonal standpoint, 586 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: it also creates a change so that your body doesn't 587 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: have a stimulus to store visceral fat, which is that 588 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: deep abdominal kind of dangerous fat, and it improves our 589 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: heart and lungs because we have to be able to 590 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 2: shift blood quickly and get oxygen to the working muscles. 591 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: So then when we're looking at what does that look 592 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: like in a week, right, it's like if we can 593 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: hit three forty minute sessions a week. In that forty 594 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: minute session space, sometime doing some mobilization and warm up 595 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 2: because we have to make sure our tenons and ligaments 596 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: are warmed up as well. As our muscles get into 597 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 2: some compound compound loading, and then we finish with a 598 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: couple of sprints or a couple of one minute efforts 599 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: with one minute off, so that we're getting to that 600 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: higher range of our anaerobic capacity. And if we think 601 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: about it from a longevity marker, it's hitting those capacities right. 602 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: We're hitting VO two with our high intensity to the end, 603 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 2: we're hitting our grip strength through total compound movement. We're 604 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 2: helping with brain health, cardiovascular health, we're helping with mobility 605 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 2: and agility because we're warming up properly, so you're hitting 606 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,360 Speaker 2: all the notes that help protect you from having just lifespan, 607 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 2: but it's really improving your ability to have a health span. 608 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 3: You mentioned something really interesting states about alzhemis something that 609 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 3: I've observed here in Australia. I don't know if it's 610 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 3: the case anywhere else in the world, but more women 611 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: have dementia soften from Alzhemers here in Australia. Dementia being 612 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 3: the broad but like underneath that Alzheimer's, Alzheimer's and men. 613 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 3: Do you think that is Are there any studies to 614 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 3: say that's because women haven't historically done exercise, it's not 615 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: or is it a genetic. 616 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 2: Well, this is one of those interesting sex differences. So 617 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 2: we're seeing that it has to do with some of 618 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: the X chromosome and some of the genetic coding. We 619 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: do see that there are men walking around that on 620 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: a brain scan look like they should be fully late 621 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 2: Alzheimer's individuals, but they're fully functional because they have a 622 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 2: genetic coding from the why that allows their brain to 623 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: have lots of plaques and tangles and still be very 624 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: cognitively with it. That doesn't happen with women. So there's 625 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: in the States, it's one in six men might be diagnosed, 626 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 2: but for women it's five out. 627 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: Of six, five out of six. 628 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get in your eighties. 629 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 1: It's massive, like eighty five percent. WHOA. 630 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: We're talking about brain and cognition, not for a Lolzheimer's, 631 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,360 Speaker 2: but cognitive decline. 632 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,240 Speaker 1: Four times the risk. WHOA. 633 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. So there's a lot of rapid acceleration into looking 634 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 2: at what is causing this and what can we do. 635 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 2: And that's part of the research that I'm doing with 636 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 2: some groups in the States is looking at you have 637 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 2: a genetic risk factor, you have early dementia, you have 638 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 2: late onset Alzheimer's and you're living at home. Can we 639 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: do specific interventions to either halt it, attenuate it, or 640 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: stop it because it's so important because it's such a 641 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: drain on the health span of women. 642 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 3: Wow, sort of late thirties, early forties, perimenopause starts to 643 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 3: kick in. I mean, obviously that's a broad statement, but 644 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 3: you know, let's just pick it as take it as 645 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 3: a fair statement. What are the indicators that someone a 646 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,760 Speaker 3: woman who is experiencing perimenopause, apart from I don't know 647 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 3: if you said dysregulated period circles and things like that, 648 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 3: but what is she looking at and what she should 649 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: be doing in terms of her exercise regime around that. 650 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, So there are no specific blood tests. It's all symptomology. 651 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 2: Some of the first early symptoms. Unfortunately, a woman will 652 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:17,919 Speaker 2: probably go to her doctor going I feel like I'm 653 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 2: having panic attacks, and I can't sleep, and I feel 654 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 2: highly stressed. Those are actually really early symptoms of perimenopause 655 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 2: because what's happening is you're having less and less progesteronwe 656 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,280 Speaker 2: counter estrogen, because you might still have a regular period 657 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 2: or a regular bleed, but you didn't ovulate, and you 658 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 2: can't discern unless you have specific tests if you ovulate 659 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: it or not. So when a woman is in her 660 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: late or mid to late thirties and starts going, I'm 661 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 2: having panic attacks and anxiety and I can't sleep, then 662 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 2: start tracking symptoms against a perimenopausal chart, or go see 663 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: a physician that is well versed in menopause. Because if 664 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 2: you go, as a general woman in her mid thirties 665 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 2: to your GP and say I'm having problems breathing, panic, anxiety, depression, 666 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 2: high stress, then most likely they're going to lean into 667 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 2: the clinical avenue of going down an SSRI or some 668 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 2: other kind of cognitive and behavioral drug therapy instead of 669 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 2: looking at hormone flux and understanding that it's a whole 670 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 2: body system that's starting to be affected by less progesterone. 671 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 3: So they're going to treat you likely to depressed exactly, Yeah, yeah, 672 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 3: as opposed to it's a hormonal problem exactly creating these symptoms. 673 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,640 Speaker 3: So the symptomology. So when you're let's say someone starts 674 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 3: to recognize these symptoms, where does HI two hormone replacement 675 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 3: therapy HI TW you fit into these programs or what 676 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 3: would you say about that. 677 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 2: So when we look at menopause hormone therapy, it's a 678 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 2: tool and a tool basket for sure, but a lot 679 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 2: of people are leaning into it because they think it's 680 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 2: going to stop perimenopause, and we know absolutely that's not true. 681 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 2: The only thing that has been proven with menopauster hormone 682 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: therapy as it's very effective for protecting your bones. So 683 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 2: if you have a family history or you yourself have 684 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 2: gotten your DEXA and you see you have low bone density, 685 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 2: then definitely have that conversation, especially if you're in your 686 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 2: late thirties early forties. When we start having lots of symptomology. 687 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: This is where we look at lifestyle. So we know 688 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 2: that dietary changes help, We know that training changes help. 689 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: We know that getting and nailing sleep is one of 690 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 2: the pillars. And having that social connection so that you 691 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 2: can have times of laughter and being out from under 692 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 2: the stress of life. Those are all really super important 693 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 2: lifestyle factors that help with symptomology. There are other non 694 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,479 Speaker 2: hormonal options, but it's all symptom driven at the moment. 695 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: There's no like I said, there's no specific blood tests. 696 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,719 Speaker 2: It's I think the whole everyone needs to be on 697 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: it or you should never use it comes from two 698 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 2: different studies that happen to be going on at the 699 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 2: same time. So everyone hears about the Women's Health Initiative 700 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 2: study in the States that said, you know, no one 701 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 2: should use hormone replacement therapy because it causes cancer and dementia. 702 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: But that was based on women who were ten years 703 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 2: plus post menopause, where you had a whole bunch of 704 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 2: biological changes with the receptors where they weren't able to 705 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: use hormones. So it wasn't surprising that study was set 706 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 2: up to see if we put women back on hormones 707 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 2: after they've been off it for a long period of time, 708 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: would it help And it didn't. But at the very 709 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 2: same time, there was a study in the UK going 710 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: that was called the Million Women's Study, and it was 711 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 2: looking at using hormone replacement therapy for women who were 712 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 2: in their early forties mid forties who were definitely in 713 00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 2: perimenopause and it helped. So now we see this playing 714 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:47,359 Speaker 2: out in today's society where in the US maybe five 715 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,239 Speaker 2: percent of women who can access hormone replacement therapy do 716 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 2: and the rest are too afraid or don't have access 717 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,959 Speaker 2: or haven't asked about it. But any of the commonwealths, 718 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 2: especially the UK and UK doctors who have trained doctors 719 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 2: who come to Australia and New Zealand, Canada, everyone is 720 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 2: very pro image G and say, yeah, let's look at 721 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,920 Speaker 2: this as a means to help. Just like if you 722 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: were having severe depression, we would use an SSRI. And 723 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 2: cognitive behavior therapy is a medical medication that is a 724 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 2: tool on a toolbox. So we start to have all 725 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 2: these conversations of yes, no, should I or shouldn't I? 726 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,760 Speaker 2: But it depends on where that conversation or origin. 727 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 3: I don't want to be looking like a jump around 728 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 3: old Tom. But you says, as you're speaking, I thought 729 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 3: of something really quite important. I think, where do you 730 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 3: rank the significance of accessing a DEXA machine, which is 731 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 3: not expensive and they're pretty accessible everywhere here in Australia. 732 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,440 Speaker 1: At least to get yourself a baseline. 733 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 3: And what would you suggest to people, you know, when 734 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 3: should they start getting these baselines in terms of the 735 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 3: bone density, muscle mats, et cetera. 736 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I started getting a DEXA every year since I 737 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 2: was forty one. Will do it every you're around my 738 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 2: birthday and. 739 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 1: Have your birthday. When you say what the result is? 740 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 3: Have you both that? 741 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly been. I'm pleasantly surprised that, you know, body 742 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,840 Speaker 2: weight on the scale hasn't fluctuated that much in that decade, 743 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 2: as I say, my real age maybe a kilo or two, 744 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 2: but body composition has significantly improved. Lean mass has gone up, 745 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 2: bone mineral density has gone up, body fat has gone down. 746 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,239 Speaker 2: And so I think having that baseline and being able 747 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 2: to compare year to year can tell you different stress points. 748 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 3: Right. 749 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,919 Speaker 2: There was one one Dexa I got where my body 750 00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 2: fat was so incredibly low. I was like, WHOA, what happened? 751 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 2: And it was because I just came off a massive 752 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 2: amount of stress and hadn't been training and eating properly. 753 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: And so I know that's an unusual case, but that's 754 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:54,320 Speaker 2: the way my body responds. So I tell women, you know, 755 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 2: when you start hitting forty, get a baseline. 756 00:39:58,040 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, And for men, I mean you. 757 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 2: Could start for year as well, but you know, fifty 758 00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 2: is really the benchmark for men. Start really looking at 759 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 2: bone density, muscle quality, where you're storing your muscle or 760 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 2: you're fat. Is it more subcutaneous or visceral, so that 761 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: you can start interventions earlier rather than later. 762 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 3: One of the things is really interesting about it, and 763 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 3: probably a lot of people who have never had a 764 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 3: dex that don't know this. They'll tell you the right 765 00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 3: down of competiti left arm, your left leg, the right 766 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 3: glue competitor left group glute. Have you got sort of 767 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 3: changes or differences between the two and you can look 768 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 3: at it from period to period. I think they're critical 769 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 3: and they're only they're not expensive. You pay about in Australia, 770 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 3: I think you pay one hundred and fifty bucks or something. 771 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 3: Can I just talk about nutrition, because you know, there's 772 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: a lot of stuff at the moment about nutrition, and 773 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 3: one thing in particular is about the the value of 774 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 3: creatine for women especially once again, men have been using 775 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 3: creatine in gyms for a hell of a long time, 776 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 3: maybe too much creating. It was more about I will 777 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 3: build more muscle if I have more creatine. And you 778 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 3: go through a period of owning creating and then you 779 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 3: take it up, you stop it. Then you know, you 780 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 3: go through periodization with it. But now it's become a 781 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,280 Speaker 3: thing you take a full briand health and just general 782 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 3: physical health. Could you talk a little bit about creatine 783 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 3: for women. 784 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean creatine is the most studied supplement. 785 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 2: It has so much really robust peer review behind it. 786 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,879 Speaker 2: And the thing about it is it's in every fast 787 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 2: energetics of the body. So if we talk about the 788 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,840 Speaker 2: way the body fuels itself, every cellular function in the 789 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 2: body uses creatine. Women don't have as much lean mass 790 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 2: or muscle mass as men, so by that nature, we 791 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,640 Speaker 2: have less available creatine. Women tend to eat less creatine 792 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 2: containing foods in general than men, so we have less stores. 793 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 2: If you're a vegan or vegetarian, you definitely have less stores. 794 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 2: So we talk about using a very low dose creatine 795 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: monohydrate supplement, maybe three to five grams, so can saturate 796 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 2: your tissues. So what does that mean from a health perspective. 797 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 2: We know that there's a sex difference in things like 798 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,520 Speaker 2: IBF and so that means that you have more irrital 799 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 2: bowl syndrome as a woman and more gut issues. If 800 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 2: you start taking creatine, it maintains the integrity of the 801 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 2: intestines and reduces that and some women don't have issues 802 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,480 Speaker 2: unless they start taking creatine. We talk about muscle and 803 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 2: muscle function, of course, but creatine is also really important 804 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 2: for bone and bone function. We see it does help 805 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 2: with gut micro the gut microbiome diversity, and we need 806 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,480 Speaker 2: that for vitamin production and the gut brain access. Talk 807 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 2: about creating in brain health because the brain is such 808 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 2: an energy hungry organ it uses a lot of creatine 809 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: in glucose. So if we are saturating the tissues and 810 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 2: we're providing more creatine for brain function, then we have 811 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,479 Speaker 2: less depression and less fatigue. So when we talk about 812 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 2: creatine as a supplement, it's been so well studied, and 813 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,960 Speaker 2: now we're having more and more research done specifically on 814 00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 2: women in the health space, not the performance in space, 815 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 2: and there have been a couple of reviews looking at 816 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 2: all of that research and the groups that benefit the 817 00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,120 Speaker 2: most from three to five grams of creating monohydrate a 818 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 2: day are women eighteen to sixty five. And that is 819 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the research. It's like. So if you 820 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,040 Speaker 2: are really looking for something to improve just mood, trying 821 00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 2: to improve muscle function, gut function, herd function, then I 822 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 2: tell women lean into just starting with a low dose 823 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,399 Speaker 2: of creating, not going up to the five times four 824 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 2: grams a day where you're getting twenty grams, there's a 825 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 2: time and a place for that. But that's like shift 826 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: workers or people who are chronically jet lagged or having 827 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 2: lots of issues sleeping, because then higher doses of creating 828 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 2: can help in those situations. 829 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: Then what about protein, because that's the big conversation when 830 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 3: we keep getting hammered definitely on social media about we 831 00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,800 Speaker 3: don't have enough protein. And then you know, the general 832 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 3: as I understand the consensus now in the science community, 833 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:01,360 Speaker 3: somewhere between one point eight grams protein per kilogram to 834 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:06,399 Speaker 3: two point two grams of protein per kilogram of weight. 835 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 3: I guess that depends on how active you are and 836 00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 3: how much exercise you do, and maybe everybody's different. But 837 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 3: if maybe if you say just two might be easier 838 00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 3: two grams. But how important is protein as a resource 839 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 3: and should we be getting it just from our where 840 00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 3: do you prefer just get it from a natural foods 841 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,400 Speaker 3: or like someone like I'm seventy my age, like I 842 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 3: can't eat these days. I can't need enough food to 843 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 3: get that To reach that number, I way eighty kilos, 844 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 3: So that means I've got to have one hundred and 845 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 3: sixty plus sixty you've got to have it on seventy 846 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 3: six grams of protein, which means I've got to eat 847 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 3: like five steaks or something. 848 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't know whatever it is, and I couldn't. I 849 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: couldn't do it, you know what I mean? Like, So, 850 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,120 Speaker 1: how is it okay to have the supplements? And when? 851 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,960 Speaker 3: Should you have them straight after training? Or should I 852 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 3: try to always edit in a natural sauce? Where's a 853 00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 3: protein deal? 854 00:44:58,400 --> 00:44:58,560 Speaker 1: Sit? 855 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 2: Okay? We think about proteins now having its heyday. We've 856 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 2: heard about fat, we've heard about carbs, and now we're 857 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,279 Speaker 2: having protein. And I always like to remind people that 858 00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 2: the RDI of protein in most countries is based on 859 00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 2: the minimal amount needed to prevent malnutrition. So I'll just 860 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,800 Speaker 2: let that sit there. So all these people are arguing, 861 00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,640 Speaker 2: fifty grams is enough, that's enough. If you're sitting around 862 00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 2: doing nothing else except trying to exist, then you start 863 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,600 Speaker 2: just breathing, just breathing. We see that when you start 864 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,400 Speaker 2: becoming more recreationally active man and woman, that comes up 865 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 2: to one point six grams per kilo. And that's not 866 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 2: even really focused activity, that's not trying to build muscle 867 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 2: that's not trying to train for a marathon. That's just 868 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 2: you're going through your life and you're putting incidental and 869 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,839 Speaker 2: structured exercise in because it helps with bone, it helps 870 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,319 Speaker 2: with muscle, it helps with satiation, it helps regulate our 871 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,719 Speaker 2: appetite hormones. All of these things are really important. We 872 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 2: start training for purpose and we start getting older, we 873 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 2: see that we have an anabolic resistant response to both 874 00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 2: exercise and protein for women. When we hear forties for men, 875 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 2: it starts about fifty. So that means no matter how 876 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 2: much training in protein we eat, if we're not eating 877 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 2: appropriately and at the right times, then we're not going 878 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 2: to adapt to the exercise as well as we would 879 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 2: have before that anabolic resistance came in. So this is 880 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 2: where we start leaning into hitting that two to two 881 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 2: point two Graham's per kilo dispersed across the day, and 882 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 2: if we lean into a little bit of Keith Barr's 883 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 2: work on tendons and ligaments, because that becomes a very 884 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 2: important conversation as we start getting older too, that if 885 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 2: we have protein as close to the end of exercise 886 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 2: as we can, then that nutrient uptake is so much better. 887 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 2: And we see that the amino acids for tendons and 888 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 2: ligaments gets absorbed and used a lot better too. Oh wow, 889 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 2: So it's an age factor rather than the exercise component. 890 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 2: That's more important that you increase your protein, and you 891 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 2: have more of an eye on the timing of protein 892 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 2: as we get older. When we talk about sources of protein, 893 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 2: I've been plant based since i was fourteen, but you know, 894 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 2: I've also been in the gym since i was sixteen. 895 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 2: It's very possible to get enough from plant sources. It's 896 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 2: not necessarily ideal. So I always tell people the plant forward, 897 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,960 Speaker 2: and you think about protein from all sources, not just 898 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 2: our steaks and or chickens, but also think about etnami, 899 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 2: green peas, sprouted grains, and nuts, seeds. All of those 900 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,160 Speaker 2: things can work with the typical sources approtein to give 901 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 2: you a good thirty to fifty grams per meal time 902 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,279 Speaker 2: and a place for supplementation. Definitely, there's a reason why 903 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: they're really good. Clean way protein and peed protein isolates 904 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 2: out there so that you can use them right after 905 00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 2: exercise or first thing in the morning when you're not 906 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 2: hungry but you know you need something. It is a 907 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 2: supplement and you can use it to help boost your 908 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 2: overall protein intake. The thing is we have this confusion 909 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 2: now of collagen protein versus a whole protein of way 910 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,720 Speaker 2: isolate or pe protein isolate. Collagen is not a dietary protein. 911 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 2: So you'll see protein waters you got os and you're like, oh, 912 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,319 Speaker 2: great protein water, and you look at it and you're like, oh, 913 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 2: it's bovine collagen and it says twenty grands of protein. 914 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 2: It's not the same as if it was a way isolate. 915 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,800 Speaker 2: The way isolate is what we think of its protein. 916 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 2: The collagen protein is just a structural protein. It doesn't 917 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 2: go to help with our dietary intake a protein. 918 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,840 Speaker 3: Stacey, could you help me out on this because I 919 00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 3: see a bit of a It's like two teams so 920 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 3: and I'm not asking you to criticize one or the other, 921 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,000 Speaker 3: just to help explain it a little bit to me. 922 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 3: But we got one team on one side, which is 923 00:48:53,239 --> 00:49:02,360 Speaker 3: say David Sinclair, who is talking about and even to 924 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,400 Speaker 3: a point of reducing the amount of calories not just fasting, 925 00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 3: not just intimate fasting or going on days are fasting, 926 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,320 Speaker 3: but also during the period when you are eating, perhaps 927 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 3: are taking in less calories because It has a cascade 928 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: effect in terms of turning what I don't want to 929 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 3: get weird about it, but am tore off, and then 930 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,719 Speaker 3: turning apk on and Schouans and all those other things 931 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 3: that sort of going to fix you up. If you've 932 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 3: got that camp over there makes sense to me, then 933 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,839 Speaker 3: I got the Peter Tier camp over here, who say 934 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,919 Speaker 3: two point two train your hardest, get enough protein into 935 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 3: your system. 936 00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:36,399 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 937 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,040 Speaker 3: You've got to make sure you have enough fats, carbs, 938 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 3: and protein and minerals and other things too. But then 939 00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,760 Speaker 3: I get confused which one's right or where. 940 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 2: Do we go? You know what conversation is not on 941 00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 2: either camp. There is the exercise conversation right, because if 942 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,799 Speaker 2: we think about exercise exercise themselves as a fasting state. 943 00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 2: We have an uptick of mtour right after exercise, yes, 944 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 2: because we've had damaged muscles, but over the course of 945 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 2: adaptation it turns it off. Intours and something that stays 946 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,239 Speaker 2: on or off it is something that comes on in 947 00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,960 Speaker 2: responds to a stress of tissue breakdown to be able 948 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 2: to rebuild it. So when we're talking about taking in protein, 949 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 2: if your body doesn't have to rebuild protein or muscle, right, 950 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 2: then it's not going to have a high impact on 951 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: intour It'd be a slight uptick, but not a huge impact. 952 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: We talk about fasting. This is where we start to 953 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 2: get in a lot of gray area, right because if 954 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 2: we look at the research on fasting, when you start 955 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 2: holding a fast on noon or after you're having circadian shift, 956 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 2: it's more impactful in women than the men because men 957 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:40,759 Speaker 2: have a longer circadian rhythm. 958 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,520 Speaker 1: But what's that? What's that mean by the way you 959 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: mean between sleep and wait. 960 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:47,919 Speaker 2: So when we talk about a circadian rhythm, for women, 961 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 2: it's a twenty three and a half our cycle that 962 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,439 Speaker 2: our body is on, but for men it's more twenty five. 963 00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 2: In a bit we say, you know, in general, people 964 00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,239 Speaker 2: are like, oh, it's a twenty four hour circadian rhythm 965 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 2: of light and dark and the way your body works 966 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,960 Speaker 2: in the day versus night. But every hormone and system 967 00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,320 Speaker 2: is tied to a time clock within that, so we 968 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 2: see appetite hormones are driven by that, or hormone pulses 969 00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:13,359 Speaker 2: throughout the day are driven by that. So the two 970 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 2: biggest Ziya guests of controlling circadian rhythm is exposure to 971 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,759 Speaker 2: light and when we eat. So if we hold a 972 00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,440 Speaker 2: fast till noon or after, we're effectively telling our body no, 973 00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,439 Speaker 2: we're still in a sleeping state, so we don't want 974 00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 2: all of our hormone pulses going. So we start to 975 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 2: see dysregulation of appetite. We start seeing more insulin or 976 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:37,280 Speaker 2: leptin resistance, and insulin resistance, we start to see flattening 977 00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,879 Speaker 2: of testosterone and men, a pbturbance and lutinizing hormone and women, 978 00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,280 Speaker 2: and the fact that we're having a smaller eating window 979 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 2: is why we are seeing body comp change. But that 980 00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean it's positive body comps change because when 981 00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,360 Speaker 2: we start looking at metabolic effects of holding that fast 982 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 2: so long, it has negative impacts on women as well 983 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 2: as sleep implications because if we are shifting our hormonal 984 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 2: pulses because we're withholding food, then it's also telling melatonin 985 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,800 Speaker 2: that it's not supposed to rise and peak when it 986 00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,080 Speaker 2: should in a normal brain. For our circadian rhythm, which 987 00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 2: is around nine PM for women in about ten for men, 988 00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,839 Speaker 2: it blunts and or doesn't peak at all, so then 989 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 2: we have interrupted sleep. If we have interrupted in poor sleep, 990 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,399 Speaker 2: we don't have any metabolic control and we cannot instigate change. 991 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,040 Speaker 2: So if we're thinking about what are we doing for 992 00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 2: calorie restriction, it's like, let's just make it easy, Okay, 993 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 2: Let's not talk about the two camps and all the 994 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 2: metabolic things that are happening. Let's look at how are 995 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 2: we structuring our day to optimize metabolic health. Let's work 996 00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,640 Speaker 2: with the way our bodies are designed to work with 997 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:50,440 Speaker 2: its intrinsic clocks. So for women, that means eating something 998 00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 2: within a half an hour or so waking up because 999 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:57,000 Speaker 2: you have a normal cortisol awakening response, which is why 1000 00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 2: we wake up. Women's peak is higher than men's, and 1001 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,440 Speaker 2: it's tightly tied to appetite hormones. We have something very small. 1002 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 2: Then it unties cortisol and garrilan so that they're not 1003 00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 2: so tightly interwound, so your body can then get on 1004 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 2: with its day and have appropriate responses to stress and 1005 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 2: hunger cues. For men, it's a little bit longer, like 1006 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,919 Speaker 2: you could probably get away with not having any food 1007 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 2: for a couple of hours after you wake up because 1008 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:29,080 Speaker 2: it's not as important because your circading rhythm is longer 1009 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,240 Speaker 2: and you don't have such a tight tied to cortisol 1010 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:36,440 Speaker 2: in your appetite hormones. Then you eat regularly throughout the day, 1011 00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,319 Speaker 2: making sure that you're having protein and fiber at every 1012 00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:43,200 Speaker 2: eating opportunity. You have dinner, you stop eating when you 1013 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,719 Speaker 2: finish dinner, so you have about a two to three 1014 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,520 Speaker 2: hour break before you go to sleep. So then you 1015 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 2: end up with a twelve to fourteen hour overnight fast, 1016 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 2: which encounters that fasting situation. You have more energy during 1017 00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 2: the day. If you have more energy during the day, 1018 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 2: you also have more control over your hunger queues as 1019 00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 2: well as what you're reaching for. We see a lot 1020 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,240 Speaker 2: in the research that if you're holding or skipping breakfast, 1021 00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,880 Speaker 2: you tend to have more cravings for simple carbohydrates in 1022 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,359 Speaker 2: the afternoon. So this is why we see people are 1023 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 2: leaning for the caffeine and the chocolate in the afternoon. 1024 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,680 Speaker 2: It's because of that dysregulation of appetite hormone. So the 1025 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,640 Speaker 2: big picture is, let's eat during the day and fuel 1026 00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 2: for what we are doing during the day, and then 1027 00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,319 Speaker 2: not have anything overnight and let our body do all 1028 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,240 Speaker 2: the utophagy and reparation it needs to overnight. 1029 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:38,960 Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of discussion around understanding you when 1030 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 3: you do your blood tests understanding a variety of things, 1031 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,280 Speaker 3: but one of the important ones in terms of informing 1032 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:45,960 Speaker 3: us as to how we eat and how we live 1033 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 3: our life, et cetera, is a BOI and it is 1034 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 3: and particularly you know, like not making sure, but trying 1035 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,839 Speaker 3: to find out do you IUE four for example, as 1036 00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,920 Speaker 3: opposed to one of the other ones three or two? 1037 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 1: How important is that for thus a bit like decks 1038 00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:03,840 Speaker 1: of it. 1039 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 3: How important is that for us to get baselines about 1040 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 3: those sorts of things as to informing us as to 1041 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,839 Speaker 3: how we should approach our health spend, loss span. 1042 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you have the opportunity of being 1043 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,200 Speaker 2: able to get that, then that gives you that baseline 1044 00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 2: to understand what your risk factors are. Right, so we 1045 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 2: know that APOE four is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer's, 1046 00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 2: so then let's do everything to prevent it. Just because 1047 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 2: you have that risk factor, it doesn't mean you're going 1048 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,439 Speaker 2: to develop the disease. So this is when we start 1049 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 2: looking at baseline biomarkers and having access to that information, 1050 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,240 Speaker 2: it informs you which direction to take. Because people sometimes 1051 00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,919 Speaker 2: feel like they have a death sentence when oh my gosh, 1052 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 2: my father got Parkinson's that means I'm doomed for it. No, 1053 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 2: it doesn't. It means you have a risk factor, but 1054 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,960 Speaker 2: we have a lot of things that we can do 1055 00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,480 Speaker 2: to help reduce that risk. So that's what these baseline 1056 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 2: tests are, and they are important. If you can access 1057 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:54,879 Speaker 2: it and get it, then it gives you really good 1058 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 2: insight of how to direct your training and nutrition. 1059 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,879 Speaker 1: Because it's definitely available in Australia. I know that because 1060 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:01,960 Speaker 1: I'm an E three to four. 1061 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,520 Speaker 3: I mean I found out and it's actually helped me 1062 00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 3: because it sort of helped me work out about sleep 1063 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 3: patterns and stuff like that. And I do want to 1064 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,440 Speaker 3: talk to you finally if you've got a minute or 1065 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:18,759 Speaker 3: two left about sleep generally, and lots of people where 1066 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 3: I've got a wearable lots of peoplehear them and they 1067 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 3: sort of try to calculate you or what they call 1068 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,640 Speaker 3: restorative sleep, which is in my cases the combination between 1069 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:31,600 Speaker 3: ramsleep and slow wave sleep will been in a broader sense, 1070 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 3: not every part of slow we sleep. 1071 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,880 Speaker 1: But what are we trying to achieve here? 1072 00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,360 Speaker 3: Let's say, are we trying to achieve thirty percent of 1073 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,279 Speaker 3: our total sleep time in restorative sleep? 1074 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 1: How important is slow wave sleep compared to rams sleep. 1075 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 1: What's the deal? 1076 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 3: Should we get in three hours restorative a night? Some 1077 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,840 Speaker 3: people I get five hours restorative sleep at night, and 1078 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,640 Speaker 3: I think, no, that's not fair. I don't ever get that. 1079 00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 3: What are we thinking about here? 1080 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 2: This is very individual. Well, first, our wearables are not 1081 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,719 Speaker 2: since it's enough to actually pick up sleep pases. Yeah, 1082 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,480 Speaker 2: it just gives you a general estimation of how slow 1083 00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 2: your heart rate goes and blood flow changes. 1084 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,480 Speaker 1: Which but it's good for comparisons from month to month. 1085 00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,279 Speaker 2: Yet. Yeah, so under times of high stress, so this 1086 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:19,760 Speaker 2: could be exercise training, block stress, lots of travel, could 1087 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 2: be work stress. You want to have more reparative sleep 1088 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,320 Speaker 2: because this is where our brain gets to be repaired. 1089 00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:29,760 Speaker 2: We see that even lots of interrupted sleep the next day, 1090 00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: you have lots of times where you have attention deficit 1091 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 2: disorders where you're like, oh, what was I thinking of? 1092 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 2: It's because your brain is now trying to improve the 1093 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,000 Speaker 2: glymphatic system during the day because it didn't get to 1094 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 2: at night, So it's flushing itself in the day, which 1095 00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,040 Speaker 2: is not optimal. So if you know that you are 1096 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,480 Speaker 2: under a period of high stress or you're going to 1097 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,439 Speaker 2: go into a period of high stress, getting more deep 1098 00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 2: reparative sleep is super important. We see that it changes 1099 00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 2: across seasons. We see more people fall into a deeper 1100 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,040 Speaker 2: reparative sleep in the winter than in the summer because 1101 00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 2: of daylight hours. It's not something to be worried about, 1102 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 2: but track your own trends. When we're thinking about the 1103 00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,800 Speaker 2: impact of poor quality sleep over time, that's a significant issue. 1104 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 2: So if you're seeing poor quality sleep and it's been 1105 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 2: three or four months of poor quality sleep, we need 1106 00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,920 Speaker 2: to talk about an intervention, like what is their sleep hygiene? 1107 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 2: Have you gotten into a new bad sleep habit? Because 1108 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 2: we can effectively have really good sleep patterns, but if 1109 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,240 Speaker 2: we develop a poor habit, then it will interfere with that. 1110 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,000 Speaker 2: So what I mean by that is if you've had 1111 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 2: a series of interruptions in your nighttime sleep because of 1112 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 2: a noise or for some people, a new baby, then 1113 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,760 Speaker 2: your brain learns that new habit and we have to 1114 00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:47,360 Speaker 2: unlearn that habit so can get back into its normal 1115 00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 2: reperative sleep. So there are things like insomnia cognitive behavior 1116 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 2: therapy that's very effective. That's down the track, but first 1117 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 2: let's look at are we in a cool room do 1118 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,960 Speaker 2: we not have screens in the room. Do we have 1119 00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 2: access to dimmer light the hour before we go to sleep? 1120 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 2: Are we having ear plugs so that our partner and 1121 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 2: small noises don't wake us up? So there are very 1122 00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 2: small little habits that we can instigate to improve our 1123 00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 2: sleep environment, which then will improve the sleep architecture. 1124 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:23,240 Speaker 3: If you were to rank out of the three sleep exercise, nutrition, 1125 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,920 Speaker 3: which one is the one you have to really make 1126 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 3: sure you don't stuff it up? 1127 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:29,400 Speaker 1: Sleep by far? 1128 00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:32,600 Speaker 2: By far? Yeah, yep. There's still so much research to 1129 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 2: be done on why we actually need to sleep. There's 1130 00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,919 Speaker 2: lots of researchs done that shows what happens during sleep 1131 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,400 Speaker 2: and how it is important for total body reparation and 1132 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 2: metabolic control and body comp and cognition and reducing inflammation 1133 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,360 Speaker 2: and all the things that promote our public burden diseases. 1134 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,680 Speaker 2: So people I always kind of step back because I 1135 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,840 Speaker 2: used to be one of these people. I would compromise 1136 00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 2: sleep so I get in a training session. Especially when 1137 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,360 Speaker 2: I was racing high level, I was like working, I 1138 01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:02,840 Speaker 2: have to work late, but then I have to get 1139 01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,840 Speaker 2: up to get my training in, and I was always 1140 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 2: a little bit sleep deprived. My training wasn't going where 1141 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 2: I wanted, The races weren't going where I wanted. I 1142 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,800 Speaker 2: was suffering in work, and I was like, oh, wait 1143 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,800 Speaker 2: a second, it's sleep. So then I started prioritizing sleep 1144 01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 2: and putting parameters around how I'm sleeping, when I'm sleeping, 1145 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 2: and really getting good sleep, hygiene, and then everything else improved, 1146 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,400 Speaker 2: because we can't show up for other people if we're 1147 01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:30,600 Speaker 2: chronically sleep deprived and inflamed and just not cognitively there 1148 01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:31,560 Speaker 2: from poor sleep. 1149 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 3: And a lot of people just think that sleep. So 1150 01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 3: I've just got to sleep. I'm going to get to sleep. 1151 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,000 Speaker 3: I'll go to sleep earlier. But other people like you, 1152 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 3: and I've heard you speak, and by the way, I 1153 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 3: just want to say, I appreciate, we appreciate what Station 1154 01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 3: seems does for longevity and health span. Thank you, not 1155 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 3: just for women, but around the world, for everybody, all 1156 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,960 Speaker 3: the people you've spoken to, the way you say it, 1157 01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,560 Speaker 3: the research you bring into it, the way you explain it. 1158 01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,760 Speaker 1: I wonder what it is that drives you to do this. 1159 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Why does Sticy want to do this? What is it 1160 01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:03,640 Speaker 1: about it? 1161 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 2: I grew up all over the world being an army brat, 1162 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:13,520 Speaker 2: and I've seen so many different opportunities and cultures, and 1163 01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 2: the bottom current is we're all human, right and for me, 1164 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,640 Speaker 2: I want every human to have the opportunity to live 1165 01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,800 Speaker 2: the best to their potential. I say that with a 1166 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,120 Speaker 2: grain of salt, because there are some people that I 1167 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,760 Speaker 2: wish would just keel over right now. I think about 1168 01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 2: some of the things that are happening in my home country. 1169 01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 2: But for the most part, the passion and drive is 1170 01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 2: to create an equal playing field because we see so 1171 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 2: many discrepancies, and part of it is lack of access 1172 01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 2: to information, lack of money for proper healthcare. So the 1173 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 2: more prevention and information that we can get out for everybody, 1174 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 2: the better potential people have for their own life, because 1175 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 2: no one wants to face a life of being chronic 1176 01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 2: pain and illness if they had the opportunity to prevent that. 1177 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,360 Speaker 2: So the more that we can get it out there 1178 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 2: and the more we level the playing field, the more 1179 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:12,640 Speaker 2: impassioned I am and empathetic I am with how we 1180 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,560 Speaker 2: are going to survive our lives as well as take 1181 01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:17,760 Speaker 2: care of the people come after us, as well as 1182 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:18,280 Speaker 2: our planet. 1183 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 1: And where do you think we are now? In the 1184 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:22,919 Speaker 1: in the curve? 1185 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 3: Because you know, it's been fairly steep in terms of 1186 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 3: over the last five years in terms of learning more 1187 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:29,720 Speaker 3: about these sorts of things. We have more and more 1188 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 3: people like yourself telling us about them. But at the 1189 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 3: same time, we rely on you to learn about these things, 1190 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 3: you know, through research, et cetera. Where do you think 1191 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 3: we are we halfway up the up the hill or 1192 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 3: we know we need that we're just touching the touching 1193 01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:44,480 Speaker 3: the edges At the moment. 1194 01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 2: I think for general purposes, we're almost at the top 1195 01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 2: where we have enough information that we can disseminate and dispel. 1196 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,880 Speaker 2: It's like the sprinkles and the icing on the cake 1197 01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 2: that I'm very interested. And it's like when we start 1198 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 2: taking the nuances, we don't have a lot of research 1199 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,560 Speaker 2: and the nuances like the extras, yeah, like the ectress. 1200 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 2: It's like, if we are to look at peptides that 1201 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 2: are making such a big thing right now, right It's like, 1202 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,520 Speaker 2: I want to know what the research is, if it's 1203 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 2: really accessible, and does it work and does it improve 1204 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,560 Speaker 2: certain parameters for someone like you or someone like me 1205 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 2: or someone like my husband. Which one should we use 1206 01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 2: and is it really something that we should lean into 1207 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 2: or should we spend our money and time in something 1208 01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,240 Speaker 2: we know that works like a Mega three's. So those 1209 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 2: are the nuances that we don't have captured yet and 1210 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 2: that's what excites me about the research. But for the 1211 01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 2: general pillars of how do we take care of ourselves? 1212 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 2: Have skeletal longevity to grab the catchphrase that my friend 1213 01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 2: vonder Wright has coined of you know, having good tendons, ligaments, bone, muscle, 1214 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 2: cognitive function to be able to live our lives to 1215 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 2: the fullest, however long that is is something that I 1216 01:03:51,800 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 2: think we have a pretty good handle on. 1217 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,600 Speaker 3: Well, I think that's a great way to finish this off, 1218 01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 3: Doctor Stacy, seems so proviach you on the show. 1219 01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 1: That was wonderful. I really enjoyed it and I know 1220 01:04:03,160 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 1: audience is going to absolutely love this. 1221 01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,320 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having me. It's been fun.
