Why are there so many more studies in men? Like that seems like a huge blind spot in science. You're, you're easier to study because you only have one sex hormone. Your anatomy is a little bit easier when we look at women. So then we go to those other two hormones and you look at estrogen and progesterone and estrogen loves when you fast. I highly recommend women fast in that first 10 days after menstruation.
