EP262: How to Fast for Weight Loss, Detox, Hormonal Health & Anti-Aging with Dr. Mindy Pelz


Listen Later

We've all heard about the impressive benefits of intermittent fasting, but did you know the benefits of fasting (detox, fat burning, anti-aging, immune support) kick in at different times?

A "gut health" fast, for example, should be a little longer than one for fat burning or detox.

And if you're a woman, there are certain times in your menstrual cycle where you may want to stop or limit fasting.

In other words - in order to experience the many benefits of fasting - you need a sound strategy.

Which is why in this week's podcast with fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about how to create a fasting rhythm that supports your unique health goals.

Dr. Mindy is brilliant, energetic and her science-backed approach will inform and inspire you, I promise

Here are some of the topics we delve into….

  • The researched-backed benefits of fasting
  • Why fasted exercise can be beneficial
  • Why fasting helps you feel calm
  • The 3 different reasons you should fast
  • The anti-aging hormone released when you fast for 13 hours
  • How to fast to lower inflammation, detox, anti-aging, gut issues, and weight loss resistance
  • The benefits of a dry fast (and when you should and should not use it!)
  • Why fasting improves your mood
  • Why women should fast differently

  • Non-fasting strategies for boosting autophagy (detox)
