In this episode, renowned holistic health expert and intermittent fasting devotee Dr. Mindy Pelz is here to explain the 101 of fasting for better health. You’ll learn the empowering science behind why it works and how it can help you achieve so many health goals.

 

Dr. Mindy is fascinated by our body’s ability to "heal itself" and how fasting protocols can activate some remarkable results based on extensive research studies.

 

If you’re tired of diets that leave you feeling like sh*t, health improvements that cost money, or just hate feeling out of control of your body, this is the one zero-cost tool that could have a significant impact on your health.

 

Dr. Mindy is on a mission to help people understand and harness their healing abilities through fasting. And today, she’s told all the Olympic athletes, Academy Award-winning actors, and Silicon Valley CEOs that she works with to step aside because she’s got an appointment with someone more important: you.

 

This episode is a guide to 6 recommended and researched fasting protocols. You’ll learn about each one and how they unleash your body’s natural ability to heal itself, reset the gut, and even get rid of damaged cells in the body. 

 

Dr. Mindy breaks it all down with significant research, stories, and shocking statistics. 

 

She’ll teach you:

  • What fasting even is and why it’s different from a "diet".
  • The 6 different fasting protocols and their researched-backed benefits.
  • The 3 easiest ways to start fasting at any point.
  • What the two energy systems in your body are and how fasting helps you tap into both.
  • What is biologically happening when you follow a fasting protocol?
  • What Keto really stands for and why the term "Keto-friendly" can’t be trusted.
  • The 9 cellular healing benefits of fasting and how it can help cure disease.
  • The fasting protocol that will help you lose belly fat (for good).
