Do women really need to approach fasting and their health differently than men? The answer is a resounding yes. And as you get older, those needs become even more specific down to the stage of menopause that you’re in—so much so that women in perimenopause need a different approach than postmenopausal women to feel energetic and strong.  In this episode, I’m joined by women's hormone & fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to talk about how women over 40 can create a lifestyle that keeps their hormones thriving. We’re covering what women before and after menopause need to know about their hormones, when and how to fast, and how to work with your body to feel your best.  Plus, I’m asking Dr. Pelz my burning question: Are fasting and building muscle at odds?  You’ll definitely want to hear her response.

In our discussion, we covered how to know if you’ve got a cortisol issue; using food as medicine to support your adrenals, thyroid, and hormonal balance; and whether intermittent fasting is helpful or harmful.  Plus, we talked about how you can use diets as tools to empower metabolic flexibility and restore your connection to your body’s feedback.  It’s a juicy episode! If you’ve been feeling a little (or a lot) stressed recently, this is information that could truly change your life.  FULL show notes: jjvirgin.com/alimiller Try my protein calculator: http://jjvirgin.com/proteinfirst Subscribe to my podcast: http://subscribetojj.com Learn more about Ali Miller: www.alimillerRD.com Read The Anti-Anxiety Diet: https://amzn.to/44A84vH Read The Anti-Anxiety Diet Cookbook: https://amzn.to/3R1WExv Listen to the Naturally Nourished Podcast: https://www.naturallynourishedrd.com/podcast/ Podcast: Change Your Diet to Help With Anxiety With Ali Miller: https://jjvirgin.com/main-podcast/change-your-diet-to-help-with-anxiety-with-ali-miller-ep-440/ Reignite Wellness™ Sparkling C Powder: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/sparkling-c-fizz YourLabwork: https://yourlabwork.com/jj-virgin/ Theia Health Continuous Glucose Monitor: https://join.theiahealth.ai/c/jj Designs for Health DHEA: https://amzn.to/3Pk195x Reignite Wellness™ All-In-One Shakes: https://store.jjvirgin.com/collections/shakes Reignite Wellness™ Omega Plus: https://store.jjvirgin.com/products/omega-plus Lumen: https://www.lumen.me/shop?fid=8763&utm_source=influencer&utm_medium=influencer&discount=JJV Enjoy 1 week of Ali’s 12-week Food-as-Medicine Keto Meal Plan: https://alimillerrd.com/pages/free-1-week-keto-meal-plan
