32: Fasting & the Menstrual Cycle [When, How, Why]


Listen Later

Intermittent fasting may be more difficult during certain parts of the menstrual cycle. That's mainly because of hormone fluctuations, including estrogen and progesterone. Today I'll give an overview of how that works, as well as various tips for fasting during the menstrual cycle. This includes multiple options for what to do during the 2nd half of the cycle when fasting can become more difficult. I’ll also explain what to do if you don’t have a regular period.
