Episode 67- Is Fasting Safe for Women?


Listen Later

Some influencers claim women shouldn't fast, or that it is not safe. If this were true, wouldn't we have died out as a species? There are a few things to consider hormonally when women start a fasting or time-restricted eating protocol.

In this podcast I discuss:

  • Whether or not women can fast safely
  • Considerations for women when fasting
  • When to add longer fasts when still menstruating
  • When to cycle in higher levels of carbohydrates
  • Thyroid and adrenal considerations
