In today’s episode, Dr. Lake and I discuss all things women’s health. If you're looking to reclaim your health naturally, this episode is a must-listen! Here are three key takeaways that I found particularly interesting: 

Intermittent Fasting for Women: A Different Approach: Dr. Lake challenges conventional intermittent fasting, especially for women. He advocates for a nutritious breakfast and lunch while shortening the evening eating window, aligning with circadian rhythms to improve insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. His approach prioritizes listening to our bodies and nutrient-dense meals.

The Role of Inflammation in Hormonal Imbalances: Inflammation plays a key role in women's health issues like PCOS and estrogen dominance. Dr. Lake highlights its link to insulin resistance and hormone imbalance, urging listeners to identify triggers like processed foods and toxins. Reducing inflammation supports better hormonal health and well-being. 

Detoxing: More Than Just a Trend: Detoxing is often misunderstood, but Dr. Lake explains that our bodies detox naturally. For those with chronic issues, supporting these systems through exercise and sweating is key. He emphasizes that simple lifestyle changes, not extreme diets, can enhance detoxification.

Tune in to the full episode for a deeper understanding of how to approach your health naturally and effectively.
