Fast Like a Girl on The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy Pelz

Can I tell you something I wish someone had told me years ago? If you've ever tried to fast or follow any health program and it didn't work the way you expected, I need you to know that it's not a discipline problem and it's not a willpower problem. It is an information problem. Most fasting research was done on men. Most dietary advice was designed for men. And then it got handed to women as if our bodies work the same way. And they don't. You operate on a 28-day hormonal cycle. And the foods you eat, the length of your fast, even your workouts, all of it needs to be timed where you are in that cycle to actually get results. That's exactly why I wrote Fast Like a Girl to teach you. It's a step-by-step guide to using fasting in a way that's actually built for your feminine body. This book has been out in the world for several years now, and it just hit the New York Times bestseller list. That tells me something. People are still reading it. They are still getting incredible results. And I want to point out, this isn't just for women that are in their menstruation.
