EP290: How to Fast Like A Girl with Mindy Pelz


Listen Later

Did you know that, as a woman, your cholesterol and blood sugar levels will be higher at certain times of your menstrual cycle?

Which can not only affect how you feel and what you should eat, but may also affect whether or not you're prescribed medication.

Women are also stronger, smarter and calmer during certain periods of the cycle, and should eat more carbs and avoid fasting at other times.

Sadly, because most health-based research has been based on men, most women never understand these important nuances.

Which is why in today's podcast with bestselling author, keynote speaker, nutrition and functional health and fasting expert, Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about why women MUST approach their health differently and how to customize your diet and lifestyle to leverage your hormone-centric advantages. Here are some of the fascinating takeaways:

  • How cholesterol levels change during your cycle
  • Why glucose levels are higher at certain times in your cycle
  • Is higher cholesterol dangerous for women?
  • A little-known underlying cause of high cholesterol in women
  • The negative impact of statins on the brain
  • What women MUST know to fully understand their health
  • When you are the strongest and most capable during your cycle
  • When to eat more carbs during your cycle
  • The hormone that protects your brain
  • What to eat at different parts of your cycle
  • What a hormone feast is and how to do it
  • When you should always avoid alcohol
  • The 4 components of a fasting lifestyle
  • When to do a carnivore diet and when to eat more veggies
  • When to use the sauna, red light and cold therapy during your cycle
  • Hyperbaric oxygen and its utility for healing hormones
  • And so much more!

Do not miss this conversation if you are (or love) a woman or are the parent of a young woman. It is a truly POWERFUL conversation that will forever change your approach to women's health.
