About this episode

CAUTION: This podcast discusses fasting, and its advice may not be suitable for anyone with an eating disorder. If you have an existing health condition or are taking medication, always consult your healthcare practitioner before going for prolonged periods without eating.


For many years, today’s guest, has been helping tens of thousands of women all around the world live healthier lives by helping them understand the key differences male and female bodies.


Dr Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert, a pioneer on the subject of women’s health and the author of several books, including the international bestseller ‘Fast Like a Girl’ and her brand new one, ‘Eat Like a Girl: 100+ Delicious Recipes to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Burn Fat.


This is Mindy’s third appearance on my podcast and our initial conversation back in 2022 was one of the most listened-to podcast episodes in the entire UK that year and I think that speaks to just how important her empowering message really is.


In this conversation, Mindy explains the importance of women understanding their unique hormonal cycles and offers profound insights on how they can live in harmony with their hormones, and find balance in our hectic modern world.


Mindy talks about how we can harness the power of food to support our body’s natural rhythms and how as a society, we can bring a more positive attitude to the challenges of peri-menopause and menopause. We also explore Mindy’s foundational five health principles.

 

Always passionate in her approach, Mindy embodies the importance of staying curious, adaptable and proactive and, in this episode, she highlights the importance of healthcare professionals truly listening to women's experiences but emphasises that it's ultimately us who are responsible for our own wellbeing.

 

While this episode primarily focuses on female health, the content within it is crucial listening for everyone. Yes, Mindy wants to provide women with powerful knowledge about their bodies but, for men, Mindy’s work provides a deeper understanding of the unique challenges that women face and helps them better support the women in their lives.

 

This really is a powerful conversation and Mindy’s empowering attitude reminds all of us that it's never too late to better understand our bodies and take action to improve the quality of our lives.
