This also means we pump out less oxygenated blood

High estrogen makes us spare glycogen (stored glucose/carbohydrates your body uses for fuel, especially during high-intensity exercise) and increases the amount of fat we use for fuel—not exactly what you’re looking for when racing or doing threshold intervals. Progesterone’s main job is to provide building blocks for the uterine lining, so it shuttles carbohydrates right to the lining to create a lush glycogen-rich tissue. It also increases muscle breakdown (while also hindering our ability to synthesize muscle because we can’t access the building blocks of protein, amino acids, as well). Not

Dr. Sims believes this country needs more inpatient treatment space and to approach mental health diagnoses the way we do cancer.
