Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today on the show, I welcome Dr. Mindy Pels.

Dr. Mindy is a leading expert in the field of women's health, specifically as it pertains to hormones, nutrition, and fasting.

Her blockbuster book, Fast Like a Girl, has helped millions of women design an intelligent

fasting protocol in relation to their cycle. Her new book in her franchise, Eat Like a Girl,

picks up where Fast Like a Girl Left Off. Dr. Mindy outlines

different dietary approaches to different phases of a women's cycle. She introduces the

concept of hormone feasting for optimal progesterone and a key biotic approach for the earlier

phase of a women's cycle as estrogen builds.

Now, in our conversation, Mindy dives deep into the eat like a girl philosophy.

She shares what she calls the foundational vibe, an approach to food that cuts through the noise

and is applicable to both plant-based and animal-based diets.

We discuss how menopause and the decrease of estradiol may be related to dementia.

So what I and so many others love about Mindy's work is its accessibility,

her ability to synthesize complicated information to help women understand how to leverage the power of their hormones.

And neither to say, this conversation provided a deeper understanding of how diet fasting and hormone

cycles impact women's health. And it really offers a holistic approach to nutrition and lifestyle

based on a women's unique biology.

So if you want more of that, I'm excited to let you know about our latest project here at

Commune called Luminense.

Luminense is a global series of events focused specifically on women's health and longevity.

The first event will feature world-renowned female health experts and doctors, including Dr. Pals herself.

She'll be joined by Dr. Sarah Godfrey, Dr. Casey Means, Marianne Williamson, Jillian Michaels, Caleb Barnes, J.J. Virgin, Kimberly Snyder, and Dr. Robin Burson.
