Summary

Intermittent fasting has become all the rage for weight loss and better health. But fasting impacts women differently than men. In this episode, Cynthia Thurlow – nurse practitioner and international speaker (her second TEDx talk has over 10 million views) – discusses how women can optimize intermittent fasting, whether you’re cycling or in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond. Cynthia talks about her personal health journey, and how falling into perimenopause in her early 40s changed everything. Intermittent fasting helped her – and subsequently, thousands of patients – lose weight while gaining better mental clarity, energy, sleep, and overall health. Tune in to hear why Cynthia believes women are much more sensitive to things like stress and sleep quality, when you should back off from intermittent fasting, and why variability is the key to fasting success. You’ll also learn who should NOT fast, how to fast during your menstrual cycle, and the sleep-fasting connection. Cynthia also teaches you how to optimize intermittent fasting. She shows how to curb hunger between meals, the difference between dirty and clean fasting, why replacing electrolytes is critical during fasting, and what fasting newbies need to know. Cynthia’s mission is to educate women on the benefits of intermittent fasting and overall holistic health and wellness. Don’t miss this information-packed episode, which will empower you to optimize intermittent fasting so you lose weight and feel better.
