There’s been a lot of recent discussion around fasting, and for good reason. But one thing that often slips through the cracks is the differences between men and women, and why women need to take a specific approach to fasting that honors their hormones. You may have heard the recent buzz around fasting and a controversial headline associating it with cardiovascular death (which was not peer-reviewed, by the way). So today, I’m resharing this popular episode with holistic health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to shed light on what we really know about the safety of fasting, and the dos and don’ts, particularly for women.

We discuss:

• Will time-restricted eating kill you? Deciphering recent headlines
• Two major issues happening for women: Understanding hormone cycles and an evolutionary mismatch 
• Mindy’s expert approach to managing hormones through fasting 
• Three rules for successfully reintroducing foods 
• Who should avoid fasting?
• Tips for women over 40 that aren’t being talked about 
• The best way to get a handle on hormone testing

Fasting can be an incredibly healing practice, but it’s got to be done the right way—especially for women! Learn how to fast while supporting hormonal balance, and so much more, in this episode with Dr. Mindy Pelz.

Fasting is one of the hottest topics at the moment and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr Mindy Pelz to dive into this fascinating area. 

Like I always say to people, fasting is potentially a phenomenal, multifunctional tool that we can use to improve our immune system and our metabolic health. But the dose of fasting, the method of fasting and whether fasting is at all appropriate if you have a pre-existing condition, are all questions that are very hard to answer.

Adding further complexity to the decision of how and when to fast, is the menstrual cycle. For years Mindy has been educating 1000s of women online on how to make the best use of this tool with the consideration of their shifting hormones.

We go into a lot of detail today, but as ever there are so many more things that we need to discuss and will probably have to do a part 2 at some point in the future.

Do check out Mindy’s fabulous book, “Fast like a Girl”, I’ve been recommending it to everyone and it’s a great resource for anyone interested in fasting as a tool for health.

We also talk about some caveats of fasting and who fasting is NOT for in this episode. This is especially the case for anyone pregnant, breastfeeding or who has a history of eating disorders.

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:

• The scientific protocols you need so you can fast the right way.
• How to fast with your 28- to 30-day cycle for hormonal, physical, and mental health (and what to do if you’ve lost your cycle, like me).
• The hormone science about how the female body operates (no one talks about this).
• How to manage PMS and why intermittent fasting may help.
• The research that explains why fasting tanks your progesterone
• How this relates to you if you are in menopause and have an irregular cycle.
• What the 30-day reset is, and its powerful ability to transform your health.
• How to incorporate fasting into your life (and never miss a good meal with your family and friends).
• Why coffee doesn’t break a fast, but a frappuccino does.
• 3 hacks to get started with a fast that will make your fasts more successful.
• The 6 fasting windows and their unique and extraordinary health benefits.

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.

Women in midlife often experience night sweats, mood swings, and other uncomfortable and difficult symptoms resulting from hormonal shifts. This is also often a time of significant stressors, as many women are juggling parenting, a career, and even caring for elders. And contrary to popular belief, women cannot follow the same health and fitness protocols as men and expect to see the same results.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr. Izabella Wentz, and Cynthia Thurlow about things women over 40 can do to ease their experiences during perimenopause and menopause.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their hormonal health. She has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to tap into their bodies' innate healing abilities through her “5-Step Approach,” which uses fasting, personalized nutrition, stress management, chemical detoxification, and lifestyle changes to optimize health and slow the aging process.

Dr. Izabella Wentz is an internationally acclaimed thyroid specialist and a licensed pharmacist who has dedicated her career to addressing the root causes of autoimmune thyroid disease after being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in 2009. She is the author of three books on Hashimoto’s: Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Lifestyle Interventions for Finding and Treating the Root Cause, Hashimoto’s Food Pharmacology, and Hashimoto’s Protocol. Her latest book is Adrenal Transformation Protocol: A 4-Week Plan to Release Stress Symptoms and Go from Surviving to Thriving.

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, author of the bestselling book Intermittent Fasting Transformation, a two-time TEDx speaker, with her second talk having more than 14 million views, and the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, a consistent top iTunes podcast in Nutrition.
