Summary

Lately, it feels like women are carrying more than ever, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and neurologically.

In this week’s conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with internal medicine physician and brain health expert, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to talk about what modern life is doing to our brains and why so many people feel overstimulated, foggy, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.

Together, they discuss:

Why chronic stress changes on the brain
The impact of ultra-processed foods on mood and cognition
Why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to burnout
How nature helps regulate the nervous system in minutes
How inflammation and depression can lead to Alzheimer’s
Why simple habits matter more than most people realize

One of our favorite parts of this conversation was the reminder that healing doesn’t always need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes are the ones that bring us back to how humans were designed to live in the first place.

0:00.8	Can I be honest with you for just a second?
0:05.0	So many of the women who have come to me have literally already tried everything.

0:16.8	They've diligently followed the advice of their doctors.

0:23.2	And yet, they are still exhausted.
0:25.8	They are still hormonally lost.
0:30.3	They are still wondering why nothing seems to work for them.
0:35.6	And here's what I've learned after two and a half decades of working with women.
0:39.2	It's not a willpower problem. I promise you,
0:47.5	it's an education problem. Your body has a very specific set of needs. And most health advice out there was never designed with those needs in mind. And so this is exactly why I built my Reset Academy.
0:55.5	It's my monthly membership community where I teach you how to use fasting, food, and lifestyle
1:02.2	to genuinely work with your female biology.

1:14.1	women who are all in it with you.
