She shed light on the profound effects of modern agriculture and the processed food industry, leading to widespread obesity and the development of inflammatory and metabolic disorders. As Megan firmly believes, fasting is a powerful tool to combat these problems and regain control over our health. The specific concerns include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the influence of fasting on thyroid health, weight loss plateaus, and troubleshooting while fasting. She aims to equip women with the knowledge and understanding that fasting is a temporary solution and a sustainable lifelong strategy for achieving and maintaining optimum health. In this episode, we explore the evolution of the agricultural processed food industry and its detrimental impact on our well-being. She also addresses leptin resistance, the intricate connection between stress and hormonal balance, the significance of different types of body fat, and the varying effects of fasting on women in different stages of life, including those still cycling and those in menopause. Prepare to have your preconceptions challenged as we dive into the depths of therapeutic fasting and its immense potential for transforming lives.

[04:59] What significance does being aware of and committed to maintaining a safe environment have? · After Megan married and planned to start a family, unexpected environmental toxin issues caused health problems, delaying their plans and requiring a crash course in environmental toxins. · The couple moved to the Bay Area due to career opportunities. However, the relocation and the subsequent pandemic added further obstacles to their journey to parenthood, making it logistically challenging to conceive conventionally. · The discovery of low ovarian reserves due to PCOS led the couple to pursue IVF intentionally to bank embryos, ensuring options for future pregnancies. Multiple rounds of embryo collections were required, reflecting their challenges while striving to expand their family. · Megan shares their experience of overcoming metabolic illnesses, insulin resistance, and weight loss, only to face a severe setback due to exposure to environmental toxins. Their health suffered, almost costing them everything, including their marriage and professional endeavours. · Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, fasting, and utilizing various tools, constant exposure to environmental toxins caused significant cellular inflammation. The resulting health issues required thyroid medication and high doses of T3 to function. · The move to a healthier environment demonstrated the immediate impact of environmental changes on Megan’s health. It highlighted the importance of thoroughly investigating potential properties for toxins before purchasing and being prepared for the associated costs. Megan emphasizes the need for awareness and commitment to creating a safe environment. [20:25] A Guide to Navigating Hormonal Differences in Women with Metabolic Disease · Recognizing the role of insulin resistance in driving hormonal imbalances, including PCOS, emphasizes the importance of prioritizing its management to achieve better health outcomes. · Women experience hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives, which can influence their ability to fast and affect their health goals. By acknowledging the impact of hormones on fastings, such as the suppression of certain hormones and potential metabolic complications, women can adapt their fasting strategies to align with their hormonal cycles. · The menstrual cycle consists of distinct phases with varying hormone dominance. Women can optimize their fasting experience and support hormone production by modifying fasting approaches and adopting time-restricted eating strategies. Recognizing the importance of changing fasting protocols during different phases allows for improved hormone balance and metabolic outcomes. [30:51] Acknowledge and Honor Your Unique Hormonal Cycle · Every woman's hormonal cycle is unique, and it's important to recognize and honour those variations. By observing how fasting and nutritional choices align with personal hormonal fluctuations, women can tailor their approach accordingly and find a balance that works for them. · Women can use the moon cycle as an illustrative guide to adapt their fasting and eating patterns. Just as the moon waxes and wanes, adjusting the dial on fasting intensity based on how it feels can provide a flexible and intuitive way to navigate hormonal changes and individual needs. ·: In a society inundated with external influences and societal expectations, reconnecting with one's body and intuition is crucial. Regularly checking in with oneself, listening to the body's signals, and adjusting fasting and nutrition strategies can lead to a more intuitive and sustainable approach to health and well-being. [41:42] How can your overall health outcomes be maintained and improved? · When starting a fasting and keto journey for individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, strictness may vary based on personal circumstances and goals. Tailoring the approach to each individual's needs and preferences is crucial for long-term success. · A more strict and therapeutic fasting approach may be initially recommended to address severe insulin resistance and metabolic issues. This can involve longer fasting periods, time-restricted eating, and cutting out snacking and late-night eating to promote improved blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity. · Once significant improvements are achieved, adjustments can be made to incorporate variations and explore different strategies, such as including more carbohydrates or modifying fasting durations. Finding a balance between therapeutic protocols and sustainable long-term practices is important for maintaining progress and optimizing overall health outcomes. [47:10] How can women Manage their Hormonal Changes and Fasting Strategies? · Ovaries are crucial in producing sex hormones throughout a woman's childbearing years. As they retire, estrogen levels decline, leading to symptoms like sleep disturbances and hormonal imbalances. The adrenal glands step in to compensate, but chronic stress and age-related factors can further impact hormone production. · Postmenopausal women can benefit from a proactive approach to fasting. Hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance can be reduced by addressing insulin resistance and emphasizing fat loss. Aggressive fasting protocols, similar to those used for diabetes management, are often implemented while also considering individual variations and the impact of stress. · Supporting women through hormonal fluctuations during fasting involves adopting a compassionate mindset and allowing for self-compassion during challenging times. Time-restricted eating and a more ketogenic approach can be incorporated during certain phases. Carb cycling remains beneficial for overall hormonal balance and metabolic health. AND MUCH MORE!
