What was said

"We cycle together, women do, because as, as crazy as it sounds, we, we smell each other. There's a scent that we give off and it changes our cycle. That's how powerful a woman's body is and how it will adapt to the environment it is in."

Dr. Pelz explained the scientific phenomenon of menstrual synchrony among women in families or close communities, attributing it to pheromone detection that triggers hormonal alignment. She emphasized this as evidence of how adaptable and environment-responsive the female hormonal system is, constantly adjusting to external factors including the presence of other women.
