Keeping Abreast with Dr. Jenn

17: Intermittent Fasting, Insulin Resistance and Breast Cancer with Cynthia Thurlow


Listen Later

I am super excited to have with me today a guest who has an incredible story of transformation from the conventional medical world to where she is today. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner and an accomplished author who has literally written the book on intermittent fasting, Intermittent Fasting Transformation: The 45 Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging. Her expertise is very much something that my community would benefit from, since we know that breast cancer doesn’t exist in a silo, but is a metabolic disease. Today, you'll hear more about how intermittent fasting and insulin resistance can affect your breast cancer. 


You’ll hear about:

  • Cynthia’s story of transformation – starting with her son’s life threatening food allergies, shifting her priorities to keep her child safe and learning everything she could about nutrition
  • What intermittent fasting is and what it does for the body
  • The effect glucose and insulin has on the body, especially for cancer patients
  • Insulin Resistance - what it is, how it impacts so many people, and how to reverse it
  • What Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are and how the can help you figure out what’s going on in your body
  • And so much more!



More about Cynthia:

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, intermittent fasting and nutrition expert, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She is passionate about helping women find wellness through the healing power of nutrition and fasting. Cynthia believes it is possible to feel better tomorrow than you do today and want to equip others to experience that freedom!
