Optimizing Female Health, Mindy Pelz on Fasting, Menopause, and Fertility

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I speak with Dr. Mindy Pelz, a fasting researcher, bestselling author, and expert in women’s health. Dr. Pelz shares the latest science on what happens in the body after a fast—and why your first meal can significantly influence the results of your fasting routine.

We explore how fasting impacts the gut microbiome, the types of foods that support recovery and metabolic health post-fast, and which foods can diminish the benefits of your efforts. Dr. Pelz also discusses the role of fermented foods and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc in optimizing fasting outcomes.

You’ll gain insight into common fasting mistakes, how fasting protocols should differ between men and women, and how stress and hormonal shifts—especially during menopause—affect digestion and nutrient absorption.

Whether you’re new to fasting or refining your approach, this episode offers evidence-based strategies to help you break your fast in a way that supports long-term health and vitality.
