We're joined today by Dr. Mindy Pell. She's a New York Times bestselling author. She's an educator or

practitioner as well. We don't want to forget that. Specifically focused on women's

health care. At least this is where she wound up. And I want to ask her about that because I'm sure there's

a story there. She has a new book out called Age Like a Girl as part of an ongoing series that I would say,

maybe Dr. Mindy, you could correct me there. You had Fast like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, Age Like a Girl.

There's a-up here. So congratulations. Congratulations on the new book. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. And I'm really excited to be here and have this conversation. I am so excited to talk to you. A couple years ago, I was talking to a really good girlfriend of mine. She always looks great. You know, she's one of those women that she always looks good. And I said to her, what are you doing? You know, that's always, I feel like redundant at a certain point because I've probably asked her that question a couple times. And she goes, well, have you read Fast like a Girl? And she had gotten into your pattern of fasting and she had explored that. And so that's how I became familiar with your work a few years ago. I have that

book. And I was excited to see that you had come out with something new. However, I do have something

just to confess to you. I'm in my 40s. That's not the confession. That's just a fact. But the confession is,

you know, when I see another book as a woman that's feeling inundated by everything related to health and hormones at this time in my life, when I see another book as a woman that's feeling inundated by everything related to health and hormones

at this time in my life, when I see another book that's geared towards aging, I felt a little

trepidacious. Like, I don't know if I want to look at that right now. I want to look at the

travel posts from people on Instagram. I want to look at all. I want to deal with aging. Yes. I want to look at the travel posts from people on Instagram.

I want to look at all... I want to deal with aging.

Yes.

I want to look at something like that, you know.

But of course, I was excited to dig in.

And I read the first chapter of your book.

And I thought, oh, this is the moment.

This is what we need during this time.

This is a different take on aging for women and something that's inspirational and

encouraging and not makes me think, like I said to my husband, you know, you're going to put

me out to pasture at a certain point in my life.
