Intermittent Fasting for Women: Why I Stopped & What I Do Instead


Listen Later

Is Intermittent Fasting wrecking your hormones? I’m sharing why I finally quit and how women can fast safely in 2026.

Intermittent fasting is often praised as the ultimate health tool, but after years of use, I realised it was doing more harm than good for my specific biology. Today we're breaking down the science of "Over-Fasting" and how to find a rhythm that works for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why men and women need different fasting protocols.

  • The specific tools I used to recover my hormone health.

  • The "Sip with Sodii" Q&A.
