Summary

216: Can fasting help or harm a woman? Is time-restricted eating the same as fasting, or is it different? These topics are quite controversial, and we dissect them all in today’s interview with Mindy Pelz, author of Fast Like a Girl and her newest book, Eat Like a Girl. If you are trying to conceive, have your period, or are working to get it back and regulate your hormones, fasting could be the key to unlocking your goals. Mindy discusses the RIGHT way to fast because women should not be fasting like men. We dive into how to do it properly and what foods to eat during different times of the month. For those who are postmenopausal or in perimenopause, we talk about how fasting can also be beneficial during these stages of life. We explore the positive effects fasting can have on gut health, IBS, candida, SIBO, leaky gut, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and even diabetes, which is a common misconception for those with type one and type two diabetes. We also discuss whether teenagers should be fasting and at what age women should begin fasting for their health. Fasting is not only the hot topic of today’s interview; the way we break a fast and our first meal coming off a fast is just as important. The first meal is not a one-size-fits-all solution, so Mindy breaks it down and shares insights about the different foods we should be consuming, seed cycling, and so much more! Topics Discussed: Should women fast? Can fasting help regulate hormones? Can not fasting harm gut health? Are low-carb diets harming women's health? Should women going through menopause practice intermittent fasting? At what age is it appropriate to begin fasting? Infertility and fasting Foods to eat during certain times of fasting How to fast during your cycle How to break a fast (foods to eat!) Benefits of fasting for gut health, IBS, SIBO, and leaky gut Time-restricted eating vs. fasting Fasting for perimenopausal and menopausal women Myths about keto, low carb, and fasting for women Fasting myths for diabetics How the body detoxes when fasting Who shouldn’t fast As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].
