Dr. Stephanie and Cynthia Thurlow, RN talk about all things
fasting and reveal the best strategies for women. You'll hear how
intermittent fasting (IF) originated, the different types, and
the key benefits. You'll discover the key role of AMPK in your

PCOS will find out the additional effects fasting has on their
bodies. Dr. Stephanie and Cynthia will reveal how cortisol drives
weight gain and how women who have a history of disordered
relationships with food should approach IF. They'll touch on the
connection between oxytocin and insulin and how IF affects ladies
in perimenopause and menopause. You'll get Cynthia's exact
fasting regimen, the steps to start and break your fast, and hear
