In this special two-part series, we're diving into the world of fasting and how it can be a game-changer for women over 40. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Laurie Lewis—a truly inspiring guest. Laurie is 61, and just six years ago, she was struggling with a 50-pound weight gain that caught her off guard, despite being a fit and healthy eater. Like many women, she experienced this sudden change around menopause, a time when many say traditional weight management methods don’t work as well.

What drew me to Laurie was her story—she found fasting during this challenging time, and it turned everything around for her. I wanted to get her take and drill down into all things fasting. Laurie was an open book and a great sport, sharing insights that even got me rethinking my own approach to fasting!

In this episode, you’ll hear Laurie’s journey and discover:

• Why fasting has to feel good, fit your lifestyle, and help you achieve your health goals.
• The benefits of changing up your eating windows to mimic ancestral eating patterns.
• How fasting can lead to wanting to improve the quality of your food.
• Why assessing how you feel (rather than just focusing on the scale) is key.
• The impact of supplements on fasting.

We’ll explore the 2-6pm eating window that worked for Laurie, and why many women feel better when they’re not constantly eating. Plus, get ready for Part 2, where I’ll share my re-initiation into fasting and the results I experienced!
