Fasting for Women with PCOS, Estrogen Dominance & Thyroid Symptoms with Dr. Stephanie Estima

This week on the Better Show we are pleased to present Dr.
Stephanie Estima's second solo episode on Fasting for Women. Dr.
Stephanie thought she would share part of her presentation that
she showed at Oxford University, who are currently working in the
Oxford Longevity Project. Today’s episode is a continuation from
PT1 which covered some of the differentials we have to consider
when fasting as a woman. We continue our discussion on fasting
for women with PCOS, what the symptoms are and what tweaks we can
make to better your well-being. If you are an Estrogen Dominant
woman, be sure to listen to this as your typical fasting
instructional might be leading you in the wrong direction and you
should consider a caloric-fast…and no that is not an oxymoron.
Next Dr. Stephanie Estima educates us about chronic inflammation
and stress, and how the majority of all humans have these
symptoms. We discuss how fasting can benefit and sometimes
rectify these symptoms like weight loss resistance, lack of
energy, insomnia and difficulties staying asleep. The next topic
is Leptin, the good old hormone that signals to your brain that
you are full and to stop eating. Fasting can be more difficult
for women compared to men, as a baseline women have 3-4 times
more leptin than their male counterparts. We round out this
episode of the Better show by talking about the negative effects
of fasting on the thyroid. This impacts women that have been
fasting for a long time, so be sure to test and look out for your
thyroid as you incorporate fasting into your lifestyle long term,
We hope this episode helped shed some light on fasting as a
woman, be sure to go back and check out our previous episode on
the topic, and we hope to catch you next week for our AMA!
