Well Beyond 40

Intermittent fasting has become all the rage for weight loss and better health. But fasting impacts women differently than men. In this episode, Cynthia Thurlow – nurse practitioner and international speaker (her second TEDx talk has over 10 million views) – discusses how women can optimize intermittent fasting, whether you’re cycling or in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond.

Cynthia talks about her personal health journey, and how falling into perimenopause in her early 40s changed everything. Intermittent fasting helped her – and subsequently, thousands of patients – lose weight while gaining better mental clarity, energy, sleep, and overall health.

Tune in to hear why Cynthia believes women are much more sensitive to things like stress and sleep quality, when you should back off from intermittent fasting, and why variability is the key to fasting success. You’ll also learn who should NOT fast, how to fast during your menstrual cycle, and the sleep-fasting connection.

Cynthia also teaches you how to optimize intermittent fasting. She shows how to curb hunger between meals, the difference between dirty and clean fasting, why replacing electrolytes is critical during fasting, and what fasting newbies need to know.

Cynthia’s mission is to educate women on the benefits of intermittent fasting and overall holistic health and wellness. Don’t miss this information-packed episode, which will empower you to optimize intermittent fasting so you lose weight and feel better.

We live in incredibly stressful times. Many of us almost always feel “on,” glued to our electronic devices and juggling constant demands. While a little bit of stress can be helpful, most of us experience far too much… and the results of extreme stress take their toll on our adrenal health.

In this episode of The Virgin Anti-Diet Show, naturopathic medical doctor and adrenal fatigue expert, Dr. Tricia Pingel, talks about how supporting adrenal health can help you recover from stress.

Dr. Pingel struggled with symptoms of adrenal fatigue throughout her life, which doctors misdiagnosed or completely ignored.

Through naturopathic medicine, she discovered the root cause of her symptoms: Stress; which can adversely impact adrenal health, create hormonal imbalances, and more.

Today, Dr. Pingel helps others recover from adrenal fatigue by finding the root cause. She learned that every single condition her patients struggle with – including thyroid issues, gut health, and hormonal imbalances – can be linked to (and are often aggravated by) stress.

When they recover from stress and restore adrenal health, Dr. Pingel finds that her patients lose weight. They feel better. They sleep better.

In this podcast, you’ll learn the symptoms that Dr. Pingel looks for, how the hormone cortisol can help or harm your body’s ability to handle stress, and the labs you need to request from your doctor (many doctors aren’t doing all of these tests).

Plus, you’ll learn about the one nutrient that stress depletes most, the tragic event in JJ’s life that taught her about stress management, and how extreme stress depletes many other nutrients that can also impair your immune system.

You’ll also learn about Dr. Pingel’s 4 ways to help people recover from stress and adrenal fatigue, including the type of exercise to do if extreme stress leaves you drained, how to train your sympathetic nervous system to handle stress better, and how meditation can help you manage stress and lose weight.

By focusing on adrenal health, you can recover from stress, too. Dr. Pingel provides powerful, effective ways to create calm and restore adrenal health so that stress doesn’t overtake your life. Grab a notepad, because you won’t want to miss this incredibly topical podcast!

Research shows that only 12% of adults are metabolically healthy. Since that data was published, metabolic conditions including obesity and diabetes have only become worse.

In this episode of Ask the Health Expert, cardiothoracic surgeon and bestselling author Dr. Philip Ovadia explains why the answers to these problems can be found in metabolic health.

As a morbidly obese and pre-diabetic surgeon, Dr. Ovadia realized that he was going to end up on his own operating table.

He tried everything he learned in medical school: The same advice he gave to patients to eat less, move more, and pay attention to the U S. Dietary Guidelines.

Only problem was, that advice was failing him and his patients.

Eventually, Dr. Ovadia found that by focusing on metabolic health, he was able to improve his own health. He lost over a hundred pounds and reversed his pre-diabetes.

With that same focus and passion, he helps patients reach those same results.

In this podcast, Dr. Ovadia talks about why our modern food environment has hijacked our health and made us metabolically unhealthy.

He explains the difference between clean and dirty processed foods, the link between disease and poor metabolic health, and why you may be metabolically unhealthy even if you are normal weight or even underweight.

Plus, Dr. Ovadia provides 5 health markers to help you shift gears and reclaim your metabolic health. In just 30 days, these strategies can create a measurable impact on your metabolic health.

Whether you or someone close to you struggles with metabolic issues including obesity and diabetes, you won’t want to miss this informative episode to reclaim and maintain your metabolic health.
