Coach Donna explains intermittent fasting specifically for midlife women, outlining benefits like reduced snacking and improved blood sugar while warning about risks such as cortisol spikes, muscle loss, and slowed metabolism.

She recommends a practical 12-hour fasting window for most midlife women, emphasizes getting 30–40g of protein at key meals, timing carbs around workouts, and avoiding long fasts or intense training while fasted.

Simple tips include staying hydrated with electrolytes, easing into fasting, prioritizing consistency over extremes, and adjusting food timing to support strength and hormone balance.
