Fasting For Women - A Deep Dive with Dr. Mindy Pelz

Dr. Mindy Pelz is becoming a fan favourite here on the Better
show! She has been a guest a few times and we have a blast
everytime we chat with her, plus some giggles. Mindy has just
released her new book “Fast Like a Girl”, and how the female side
of fasting is pretty different from the much documented male side
of fasting. We talk about fasting and diet culture for teens, and
how the menstrual cycle may be more complicated for our daughters
in their later teens. We chat about navigating the topic of the
birth control pill as a parent, and what the implications of
that. We do an overview of the arch of a woman’s menstrual cycle
over her life and how we can fast differently during different
parts of it. Mindy weighs into the benefits of fasting for women,
how it differs from the traditional and male approaches. We
always have a ton of fun when Mindy comes on the show, so we hope
you enjoy!
