Deep dives
Recognition and Gratitude for the Success of 'Fast Like a Girl'
The speaker expresses gratitude for the success of the book 'Fast Like a Girl' and acknowledges the impact it has had on readers. The principles taught in the book have helped individuals lose weight, balance hormones, and improve their overall health. Over 500,000 copies of the book have been sold across various platforms. The success and positive feedback from readers have led to the development of a companion cookbook, which will provide further guidance on topics like fasting, snacking, and eating for specific hormonal phases.
Emphasizing the Importance of Hormone Education and Lifestyle
The speaker discusses the need for hormone education, highlighting the importance of looking at health through the lens of hormones. Many healthcare professionals do not consider hormones when treating patients, and it is essential to understand how lifestyle choices impact hormone balance. The speaker aims to empower listeners by providing them with knowledge about their hormones and helping them make informed choices regarding hormone replacement therapy, supplements, and lifestyle interventions. Lifestyle plays a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases, and the speaker encourages individuals to prioritize their health by aligning their lifestyle with their hormonal profile.
Setting Up for a Successful New Year and Personal Growth
The speaker offers guidance for setting health goals and intentions for the new year. They advise against starting on January 1st, as it often leads to failure due to previous negative experiences. Instead, they recommend starting habits on January 2nd or later to avoid associating January 1st with failure. The speaker suggests participating in a three-day water fast to reset the body and prepare for New Year's resolutions. They also encourage choosing one main focus for physical health and selecting a word or principle that represents personal growth for the year. Surrounding oneself with a supportive community is emphasized, and various resources, including a fasting group, are suggested for finding like-minded individuals.
Join Dr. Mindy for a message of gratitude and a New Year's plan to begin 2024 with a bang and enter 2025 feeling healthier and better than you were.
