Intermittent Fasting for Women - How to Fast Like a Girl with Dr Mindy Pelz

We all know how to fast, but there are different rules for women and men. In this episode, Angela is joined once more by Dr Mindy Pelz who talks about the specific ways we should be using fasting as a tool, and optimising our longevity, hormone balance and energy levels. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fasting works because we are tapping into a whole new system of energy generation and metabolism. It's remarkable that it's taken so long for this to become a better known fact. As oestrogen drops, we become more insulin resistant, which is one of the main reasons why women over forty in particular, must know how to fast effectively. A twenty four hour fast can kill bacteria in the small intestine. When we reintroduce food, there's less there to agitate and cause bloating. If you are spotting, then it's a clear sign that progesterone needs your help. Progesterone needs to peak at a certain level in order for the whole uterine lining to shed.
