Summary

Fasting is often recommended as a solution to the metabolic health and weight management challenges menopausal women face. And while it can be an effective health tool when done properly, there are numerous pitfalls that active women can encounter when layering the stress of fuel restriction on top of other stress in their lives. This week we break it all down with autoimmune and precision medicine specialist Erin Faules, DO, who formerly worked with Wild Health before devoting herself to her own practice, Doctor Erin Health full time.

Dr. Erin Faules (formerly Donaldson) graduated from Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in Family Medicine. Her passion for changing healthcare was sparked when during her second year of medical school, she was diagnosed with lupus, a systemic autoimmune condition. She was told by her specialist she would be on medication to suppress her immune system for the rest of her life, and was literally laughed out of the office when she asked if anything she could do with her diet or lifestyle might change her outcome. Today, thanks to her own persistence and practice, her auto-immune antibodies are non-existent and she has not been on a pharmaceutical medication for over five years.

0:00.0	You are listening to Hit Play, Not Pause, a feisty menopause podcast for active performance-minded women.
0:14.6	I am your host, Celine Yeager. Each week, I bring you advice from athletes, scientists, researchers, and other experts to help you feel and perform you best no matter what your hormones are doing.
0:25.0	This show is a production of Live Feisty Media.
0:30.5	Hello, strong feisty women.
0:33.0	I have a great one for you this week.
0:35.3	And honestly, it's a conversation that I have been wanting to have for quite a while now. It's a show all about fasting. And I want to be clear right out of the gate that we're talking fasting specifically for health and weight loss or weight maintenance reasons here, not religious or spiritual types of fasting, which are done for purposes that are outside
0:55.8	the purview of this podcast. And I want to talk fasting because it's something that is obviously
1:02.1	sort of everywhere in the wellness sphere right now. And it is presented to Perry and
1:08.2	menopausal women very often as the answer to all their health and weight management
1:14.3	needs. And while I'm sure some women do it successfully, I have also seen a lot of women run into
1:20.8	trouble with low energy availability, eating disorders or disordered eating, muscle loss, and honestly not really reaching their goals.
1:30.1	So I wanted to sit down with someone who is pretty objective about fasting, has dug into the
1:35.9	research, and, and this is important, understands what active and or athletic women need,
1:42.8	because what gets lost in the general conversation around
1:46.3	diets and eating strategies like intermittent fasting is that most of the messaging is toward the
1:52.4	general sedentary population. Most of the messaging around these things is not geared toward
2:00.2	women who are lifting and training and taking on a good
2:04.0	bit of exercise stress. Our needs are different. The impact of fasting on us is different. It's also
2:13.0	different if you're premenopausal, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal. So I sat down with Dr. Aaron Fowles,
2:21.0	formerly Dr. Aaron Donaldson, who is an autoimmune and precision medicine specialist,
2:26.2	who has spent a lot of time studying fasting, anotophagy, or cellular cleanup, female hormones,
2:34.0	stress, and the HPA access, and how all of
