[0:01] What do you recommend women eat after they train? So we know that women who they train? So we know that women who are in their reproductive years need are in their reproductive years need around 35 gram of good protein, high around 35 gram of good protein, high quality leucine oriented protein within quality leucine oriented protein within 45 minutes. And we see that women who 45 minutes. And we see that women who are permenopausal onwards are 40 to 60 g are permenopausal onwards are 40 to 60 g because we become more anabolically because we become more anabolically resistant to food and exercise as we get resistant to food and exercise as we get older. When we look at like the recovery older. When we look at like the recovery window for food, there are definitely window for food, there are definitely sex differences because we hear all the sex differences because we hear all the conversation of there's no recovery conversation of there's no recovery window. It's old science. But we look at window. It's old science. But we look at the research of when women's metabolisms the research of when women's metabolisms come back down to baseline, meaning that come back down to baseline, meaning that they have constant straight blood sugar they have constant straight blood sugar levels versus men. Women it's within 60 levels versus men. Women it's within 60 minutes and for men it's up to 3 hours. minutes and for men it's up to 3 hours. So when we're looking at the data that So when we're looking at the data that says there's no window per se for says there's no window per se for getting food in, it's based on male getting food in, it's based on male

[0:46] getting food in, it's based on male data. So when we're looking at women, we data. So when we're looking at women, we have this tighter window to stop that have this tighter window to stop that breakdown effect and start the breakdown effect and start the reparation. It's like when we're talking reparation. It's like when we're talking about the protein intake, it's really about the protein intake, it's really important not only to get that leucine important not only to get that leucine content up in the muscle to start the content up in the muscle to start the reparation and repair, but also again to reparation and repair, but also again to signal we're in a building state. We're signal we're in a building state. We're not holding that catabolic state and not holding that catabolic state and increasing all the repercussions that increasing all the repercussions that come with it.
