Dr. Mindy Pelz, author of the huge bestseller "Fast Like a Girl" is here to explain her 5 fundamentals for eating in sync with your hormones for improved energy, mental clarity, better digestion, reduced cravings, and yes, weight loss.
We dive into the wild world of hormones and cycles, and their close connection with food and mood. Confused about carbs and fat? Mindy breaks it all down––when they're good, when they're bad––and which ones. She teaches us how calorie counting is so yesterday and why blood sugar is the "new black."
