Over the last several years, intermittent fasting has been widely regarded as a powerful method to shed unwanted fat, improve insulin sensitivity, and even take advantage of the benefits of autophagy. But what’s often missing from the conversation on fasting is that most, if not all, of the research on fasting has been conducted exclusively on men.  

So today on The Model Health Show, I’m bringing in a world-renowned women’s health expert to discuss fasting for women. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, physician, and coach who is a top expert in all things hormones, menstrual cycles, and women’s health. She’s back on the show to share how fasting is different for women, and how to eat and train in accordance with your body’s natural rhythms.  

This conversation contains important discussions on how obesogens are making us fat, how to eat for hormonal health, and the role that ultra-processed foods are playing in our epidemics of health. Dr. Mindy is also sharing some of her top principles for nutrition, the truth about weight loss drugs, and so much more. I hope you enjoy this interview with the one and only, Dr. Mindy Pelz!  

In this episode you’ll discover: 

• The biggest misconception about weight gain. 

• How obesogens are creating an epidemic of obesity.  

• The effect that obesogens have on your stem cells.  

• How fasting can help your body reset.  

• What is stored inside fat cells, and why fat gain is an adaptation.  

• Why fasting is different for women.
