Hey everyone, welcome back. I have a great one this week. Dr. Mindy and I had a really fun discussion while she also dispensed a lot of useful info. We covered the science and benefits of fasting in great detail along with all kinds of tips and tricks for pulling short and long fasts off successfully. We also talk about how healthy periods of time spent not eating are. This should not be considered fasting - it should just be normal. What’s not normal is eating from when you wake up until you go to sleep. We covered a lot on the gut microbiome and immune health as well. You’re going to love her.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is empowering people all over the world to believe in their body’s own healing abilities through fasting, diet variation, removing chemicals from the body, and so much more. Dr. Mindy is a recognized leader in the alternative health world and is the founder of Family Life Wellness, her local clinic that is made to speed up healing and maximize performance. She is also the founder of the Reset Academy, a private group where she and her team help people implement the principals of fasting, keto, and diet variation into their daily lives. She is the host of one of the leading science podcasts, The Resetter Podcast, and the author of three best-selling books, The Menopause Reset, The Reset Factor, and The Reset Kitchen. She also has a great youtube channel.

Alright, so the announcements for this week are simple. We have the Sapien Tribe lifetime memberships available for a bit longer at the deeply discounted rate. This community is all about building relationships with likeminded people who are going to help you with your diet & lifestyle practices. I know it’s not alway easy to live like a homo sapien in this modern world so we have a virtual community of people and resources to help you do so. We also have the bonus episodes of this podcast, extended show notes, Zoom calls with Dr. Gary and I, and more. Check it out at http://sapien.org

If you're serious about losing a significant amount of weight or fixing health programs you can join our Sapien Program. We have some special rates for that as well as we get it going. You can find out more at http://sapien.org and also get the free Sapien Food Guide there. It breaks down the Sapien diet principles and provides a super easy to use visual meal guide and shopping guide. Get that for free at http://sapien.org

Get your grass fed and finished meat delivered to you from http://nosetotail.org We have a ranch in Texas sending out top quality nose to tail meat, organs, and even marrow and broth bones. Please share this podcast with a friend and give it a review in the podcast app or iTunes. Make sure to start back at episode 1 if you haven't been listening from the beginning, people have been calling this a free college course on nutrition. I’d have to agree - I’ve had over 90 of the world’s top nutrition, human evolution, and environmental doctors and scientists on the show and can’t tell you how much valuable information is in these episodes.

Please enjoy another great one with Dr. Mindy!
