Adjusting to Each New Phase of Life
As our bodies change throughout the different phases of our lives, it is important to know how our bodies and metabolism are functioning. Whether we like it or not, what worked for our bodies in our 20s isn't going to work for us in our 50s, and we need to prepare ourselves with the knowledge necessary to transition through these new phases with grace. Intermittent fasting is a great tool to help you move your body towards more metabolic flexibility, clean up your cells, and so much more.
Find Harmony in Your Body
Three of the biggest benefits of intermittent fasting when it is done right for your body are increased energy, decreased weight resistance, and boosted insulin sensitivity. However, in order to achieve these benefits, you much learn how to make intermittent fasting work for your body. Instead of apologizing or feeling ashamed because of your biology, Cynthia wants you to lean into it and learn how tremendously powerful it can be to take back control of your health.
Achieving hormonal balance for as long as possible takes some work, but the benefits can feel too good to be true. There is no ‘one size fits all approach to your health, but by taking the right steps, you can use every tool at your disposal to find harmony in your body.
