Have you ever tried different ways to get rid of belly fat?

Have you ever tried different ways to suppress your appetite?

Today, Jay welcomes women’s health expert, bestselling author, and podcast host Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss how women can optimize their health, particularly through fasting, hormones, and metabolic health. Dr. Pelz explains the biological differences between men and women and emphasizes the importance of understanding the female body's rhythms and cycles for maintaining health and hormonal balance.

Dr. Pelz begins by discussing common fasting mistakes, highlighting how doing the same fast daily can slow down metabolism. She introduces the concept of "feast-famine cycling," stressing the need for variety in fasting durations and windows, particularly for women. According to her, fasting must be adapted to the individual’s lifestyle and, for women, their menstrual cycle. She also addresses Jay’s personal approach to fasting and offers tailored advice for him, including when to eat before and after workouts.

The conversation then turns to the topic of belly fat and how stress and toxins contribute to weight gain, particularly around the belly area. Dr. Pelz explains that excess cortisol, which is heightened by stress, leads to belly fat, and she provides practical tips to manage cortisol levels, including movement, time in nature, and spending time with positive people.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Start Fasting Gradually

How to Manage Stress with Movement

How to Reduce Belly Fat Naturally

How to Customize Your Eating Schedule

How to Stabilize Blood Sugar with Timing

How to Stay Full Longer with Healthy Fats

How to Lose Weight with Fasting Cycles

How to Align Fasting with Your Menstrual Cycle

The message is clear: everyone has the ability to transform their well-being by taking small, intentional steps toward a healthier lifestyle. With the right mindset and commitment, a vibrant and balanced life is within reach for all. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
