About this episode

There are a variety of approaches to fasting, whether it be for weight loss, mental clarity, or for decreased inflammation. But like many other dieting strategies, these frameworks often leave little room for bio-individuality. Finding a health and nutrition approach that works for you requires considering your personality, preferences, routines, and personal health needs.

Our guest, Dr. Mindy Pelz, is a fasting and hormone expert who is passionate about helping empower folks to take control of their health. Specifically, she is on a mission to educate women about their bodies and how to sync fasting with their hormones for optimal results. Today, she’s on The Model Health Show to share how fasting can aid in fat loss and enhanced brain function, and the specifics behind fasting for women.

You’re going to learn about how the human metabolism works, and why fasting is a powerful tool for optimizing your body’s natural functions. We’re going to discuss how external factors like stress can block weight loss, how fasting impacts hormones, and how your metabolic health affects every aspect of your life. If you’ve ever considered incorporating fasting into your routine, these tips are going to help you take it to the next level. So listen in and enjoy this interview with Dr. Mindy Pelz!
