Foremones and running I feel like I don't know. It's a topic that needs to be talked about more. So I'm excited to have you on.

I am excited to be on because you know when you're dealing with hormones, it's kind of like hurting cats. People know their hormonal they're like I feel hormonal I think it's my hormones, but they don't actually know what that means and or what to do about it. So I'm happy to talk about it.
