EP262: How to Fast for Weight Loss, Detox, Hormonal Health & Anti-Aging with Dr. Mindy Pelz

IN THIS EPISODE

We’ve all heard about the impressive benefits of intermittent fasting, but did you know the benefits of fasting (detox, fat burning, anti-aging, immune support) kick in at different times? 

A “gut health” fast, for example, should be a little longer than one for fat burning or detox. 

And if you’re a woman, there are certain times in your menstrual cycle where you may want to stop or limit fasting. 

In other words - in order to experience the many benefits of fasting - you need a sound strategy. 

Which is why in this week’s podcast with fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz, we talk all about how to create a fasting rhythm that supports your unique health goals. 

Dr. Mindy is brilliant, energetic and her science-backed approach will inform and inspire you, I promise 

Here are some of the topics we delve into….

• The researched-backed benefits of fasting
• Why fasted exercise can be beneficial
• Why fasting helps you feel calm
• The 3 different reasons you should fast
• The anti-aging hormone released when you fast for 13 hours
• How to fast to lower inflammation, detox, anti-aging, gut issues, and weight loss resistance
• The benefits of a dry fast (and when you should and should not use it!)
• Why fasting improves your mood
• Why women should fast differently 
• Her fasting strategy for better immune response
• Non-fasting strategies for boosting autophagy (detox)

• How long to fast to kill cancer cells
