I’m Mark Gray. Stephen: And I’m Stephen Gray. Mark: So, it’s Monday. I hope you’re all having a good start to your week. Stephen: And where are we, Mark? Mark: We are sitting in a car. Stephen: Sitting in Mark’s car because the place we normally do our podcast is a little bit noisy today. So we thought we’d test out using the car. Apparently, it’s got nice acoustics. Mark: I think so. Stephen: So we’ll see. Mark: So what are we talking about today, Stephen? Seeing as you are the assigned – I assigned you this task. Stephen: I have the brains. Have you noticed I am the brains behind – well, the brains anyway. I was going to say not the beauty. There’s no beauty, but I’m the brains anyway. Mark: True, true. Actually, Patricia sent me an email today, saying that she was listening to our podcast and she thinks we’re humorous. So… Stephen: [Laughs] there’s one. There is one. There is one person. Mark: It’s official. We are humorous. We are very funny. There you go. Stephen: Apparently. Mark: Right. Let’s get on it. Stephen: Right.

I would – well, it’s not going to happen. However, more and more issues that women face that are normally specific to them I reckon are becoming more and more… Stephen: Yes, they are. Mark: Prevalent now. Stephen: And that’s due to a lot of the toxins, what they call [Unintelligible 01:54], the outside sort of [Unintelligible] 01:56] that are basically affecting men’s testosterone and things. But anyway, we are going to talk about why you would store fat around your stomach if it’s not a menopause reason. Mark: Okay. So yes, exactly. So for men and for women who aren’t heading towards menopause who are kind of, to be fair, 20 to 35 to 40. Stephen: Plus, it can be the reason of going through the menopause as well. Yes, and this is for men and women. This can be for anyone, really. But I think we should differentiate between what we mean by storing fat around your stomach because obviously, you’ve got your bellybutton area, and then you’ve got your sort of hip area, and people kind of treat them as the same,
