0:00.0	I think for a lot of women, we'd like to pretend like that rage doesn't exist. It's like it, it absolutely
0:05.9	does. And if you continue to pretend that it doesn't exist, it will control you rather than you being
0:11.5	able to control it. You are tuned into the Dr. Tina show with Dr. Tina more. For more, visit
0:16.9	Dr. Tina.com. On this episode of the Dr. Tina show, I finally got to bring on my friend,
0:22.5	Dr. Stephanie Asima. She is seriously such a badass chick, and I adore her to no end. I recently
0:28.7	got to know her better when I was on her podcast, and we had such a great time that we had to
0:32.1	continue the conversation over on this platform. We talked about strength training and hormones and all the things that
0:38.8	you know I love to double down on, but her perspective is so unique and important. She's a

1:12.3	ideally, but at any age you can add muscle and you don't have a choice. I don't care what you think
1:18.1	about it or if you want to do it or not. This isn't about anyone's feelings. This is about what
1:21.9	you need to do to live as an optimized human and really to retain your beauty and your strength so that you don't
1:29.3	end up with a hip fracture or some other accident down the line as we age, especially for us
1:34.4	ladies. So without further ado, let's jump in. So lately I've been hitting the gym a lot more
