If you’re fasting but feel tired, bloated, anxious, or stuck with your weight, this episode will help you understand why. Fasting isn’t the problem. Fasting without understanding your midlife physiology is.
In this episode, I break down how fasting actually works in a woman’s body after 40, why long or aggressive fasts often backfire, and how to use fasting as a supportive tool instead of a source of stress.
💡 In this episode, we cover:
• What fasting actually does to insulin, hormones, and metabolism
• Why fasting feels harder in perimenopause and menopause
• The most common fasting mistakes midlife women make
• How to choose the right fasting window for your goal
• The difference between true hunger and blood sugar crashes
• What really breaks a fast and how to break it properly
• How to fast in a way that protects muscle, hormones, and energy
