Hello everyone. Welcome to Science versus Bullshit. Or was it Bullshit versus Science?

Anyway, either way, we're here. The whole point in this series is to demystify fat loss and getting fit and healthy and not wasting a ton of money on supplements and all the

confusing things that you hear about online so if you're confused about supplements perimenopause

cortisol fasting hormone imbalances you are in the right place um most of what we're going to cover

today although i'm open to any questions that anybody has and that's the whole reason for this in the right place. Most of what we're going to cover today,

although I'm open to any questions that anybody has,

and that's the whole reason for this being live, by the way,

is that I want it to be interactive and go back and forward with people and what you guys actually want to know about,

as opposed to most podcasts.

It's like obviously one directional because you just listen to me and then you

don't get to our stuff back. So that's the rationale between it being live and normally

I just record these. Hopefully that's useful to people, but I'm going to test it. I'm going to test

it for like, I don't know, maybe three months or something, do one a week. Well, that's quite a long time. Two months, do one a week. If it doesn't seem to work, then I'll probably just go back to podcasts. If people like it, I'll keep it like this. So this one's going to be focused on hormones. This will come up a lot because there's a lot to break down.

But I am just going to walk to the other side of the room to get a drink.

Hold on.

I was having too much fun.

And then I realized, oh my God, it's 6pm.

And yeah, and thank you to everyone who's come live on your Sundays. And that is,

that's real dedication. Okay, so any questions that people have going along, fire them away.

And I have collated some of the most common myths around hormones and fat loss and what people are told about hormones online and whether you should be avoiding cortisol and what that means and if you need to change the way that you're training and if that changes during perimenopause and fat distribution and all of this kind of stuff.

Fortunately, I was able to do this from one horrendous post, which just had so many bad

claims.
