There’s so much confusion around weight loss for women and what truly works. We know an individualized approach is essential, as one-size-fits-all rarely works for everyone. Today’s guest is here to break it all down, explaining how fasting, protein intake, resistance training, and maintaining stable blood sugar can all be integrated into your routine.


Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss fasting, weight loss, calories, and protein consumption. Dr. Mindy reveals the latest research that has shifted her perspective on how fasting should be approached. She also explains why glucose spikes and insulin resistance are crucial factors in weight loss, especially as women age. Plus, Dr. Mindy shares practical tips to help shift negative mindsets around aging and weight loss.
