Discover how to transform your relationship with food and fasting by honoring your body's natural rhythms.I am so thrilled to bring you this powerful conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, the author of Fast Like a Girl, whose work has been life-changing for me personally. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to honor the rhythms of our bodies—especially as women—and how fasting, when done in sync with our cycles (or the moon!), can be a radical act of self-care and empowerment.Dr. Mindy shares her own story of hitting a hormonal wall in her 40s, how she healed herself through lifestyle changes, and how she went on to help thousands of women do the same. We talk about the phases of the menstrual cycle, why the one-size-fits-all approach to dieting is broken, and what to do if you don’t have a cycle or are in perimenopause or menopause.✨ In this conversation, we explore:🌀 How to sync your fasting practice with your cycle—or the moon if you’re no longer cycling🥔 Why sweet potatoes might just be your new hormonal BFF🔥 The hidden role of cortisol in weight gain and burnout (and how to protect your energy)🧠 How the female brain changes with age—and why ketones may be the key to vitality later in life🌕 The magic of cyclical living and how it can be a portal to deep self-trust and powerWhether you’re navigating irregular cycles, burnout, or just craving a more nourishing relationship with your body, this episode is here to remind you: you are nature. You are rhythmic. You are powerful. And when you align with that, everything changes.Enjoy this beautiful conversation—I know I did. 💛“Why would we eat the same way throughout our whole cycle?
