In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I speak with Dr. Mindy Pelz, a fasting researcher, bestselling author, and expert in women’s health. Dr. Pelz shares the latest science on what happens in the body after a fast—and why your first meal can significantly influence the results of your fasting routine. We explore how fasting impacts the gut microbiome, the types of foods that support recovery and metabolic health post-fast, and which foods can diminish the benefits of your efforts. Dr. Pelz also discusses the role of fermented foods and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc in optimizing fasting outcomes. You’ll gain insight into common fasting mistakes, how fasting protocols should differ between men and women, and how stress and hormonal shifts—especially during menopause—affect digestion and nutrient absorption. Whether you’re new to fasting or refining your approach, this episode offers evidence-based strategies to help you break your fast in a way that supports long-term health and vitality.   What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction  00:51 From Chiropractics To Writing Books 06:01 Should Women Fast? 10:08 Why You Should Rest Before Your Period 12:33 Trust Your Own Instincts  15:48 Best Time To Fast 25:21 Men Fast Vs Women Fast 28:08 Hormonal Imbalance In Women 41:35 Best Foods To Eat After Fasting 50:33 The Grandmother Hypothesis  54:27 Supplements For Women 58:27 Detox Everyday! 59:46 Nurture Yourself To Eliminate Stress 1:07:35 Hormone Replacement Therapy   Follow Dr. Mindy: https://drmindypelz.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-mindy-pelz https://youtube.com/@drmindychiropractic https://www.facebook.com/share/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukiSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you really okay, or have you just become good at pretending? Many of us go through the motions—showing up, performing, and pushing through—while feeling disconnected, drained, and on the edge. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I talk to Dr. Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist and mental health expert, about high-functioning depression.

Dr. Judith also shares the 5 Vs, a science-based approach to finding balance, processing emotions, and rediscovering joy.
