In this episode, researcher, respected expert on intermittent fasting, and bestselling author of Fast Like A Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz, is here to explain fasting—and, in particular, how it impacts women’s hormone health.
Men and women’s hormones are different, and because of that, women MUST fast differently than men.
Dr. Mindy is the first person who explained this to me, and this is why I wanted to have her on.
I had no idea that fasting would screw up my estrogen and progesterone. Why? Because I first learned about fasting from a male.
When I tried intermittent fasting, I wasn’t seeing the health benefits that everyone talks about. Now I know why.
You’ve seen fasting advice trending on TikTok and in health articles; even your friends are talking about it (just like mine), and after this episode you will know exactly what fasting is, why you might want to do it, and what every woman needs to know to get started.
I want you to get the right information from a respected female expert in this field.
Everyone needs to hear this.
This conversation is loaded with research and resources, and as always, extensive show notes are available on melrobbins.com. You can find them for this episode here. (www.melrobbins.com/podcasts/episode-103)
Today, Dr. Mindy Pelz reveals:
We are going to focus on the step-by-step guide for women, what to do, and why this matters, but we do cover fasting protocols and how-to advice that both genders need to know.
I learned so much from Dr. Mindy, and as with all episodes, this is a free resource where you get to learn straight from somebody who has literally written the book on this topic.
I would definitely send this to absolutely anyone that needs to hear it.
Xo, Mel
