yes, together we stand!! too many girls don't support each other! its imperative femmes support each other more, love ur post! 🌸
I did the 24h fasting last Friday - I was never felt so clear in my Head 👍👍❤❤
I started fasting by simply gradually eating… 1 hour later every few days. So if your first meal is typically at 8am, change it to 9am. Fasting is like a muscle. I’ve been fasting for 3 years now and did 72 hour fast recently with ease. 😊🙌🏻💪🏻

Just need some clarification. When you say Day 1 - is this day one after mensuration? I'm failing to understand.
"Listen to our bodies and let it change its needs." Powerful statement!! That hit home. Thank you for that compassion ❤

I've just ordered fast like a girl to read when I'm on my holiday in a few days I can't wait. Fasting has changed my life! I cannot wait to one day pass the book on to my daughter when she's old enough and I'm praying that maybe If she has the correct health tool that she can skip the horrible yoyo dieting that I had to deal with growing up.

If your mom feels like she’s going to faint when she’s fasting she needs to get help fasting !!!! I tried fasting many times and I couldn’t. I have actually fainted many times when I fasted I had to learn how to fast by trial and error. Twice I’ve been to emergency room when fasted and learned I need to take Electrolytes when I water fast also I can go with out sleep when I fast Also she needs to break the fast correctly
I've been watching, listening, and learning. Powerful information. Thank you!!! I just started to intermittently fast. However, I think I'm doing something wrong. How important is what you eat during the eating window? My weight is either the same or up a pound. Yikes!
Thank you. Can you talk about women in their 60's and 70's? Much appreciated.

Yes, I’m 69 and way past menopause. I had a total hysterectomy in 2006 after years of suffering with 3-week periods. I have experience with fasting but want to know the healthiest way to increase fasting for my age and gender.
Sarah sounds exactly like Emma Watson ❤
How does that work for women after 50 y old please? How do we know what the best time to fast?
What do you do if you had a hysterectomy?
Dear Doctor Mindy, I love how you educate people. Thank you again! Is it dangerous to fast 24 or 48 hours if I don't want to loos a weight ?
I have longer cycles around 30-32 days so I ovulate around day 20ish would I still follow my cycle?
What a great way to explain women’s hormones! Little characters.

Thank you! Isn't Dr Mindy amazing?! What did you learn from the episode?
Dr Mindy Pelz, I have devoured your videos and I’ve read two of your books. I am 55 years old and already more than a year away from my last period. Can I do the 30 day reset as a ‘go to’ every moon cycle to try to produce more of my 3 hormones? Or am I already doomed with it…
I'm 35 and have been on hormone therapy for the last year. I've been using the testosterone cream and cycling progesterone. I want to get off of my hormone medication. Would I just need to follow the fasting process and eventually be able to stop medication? I've talked to my hormone therapist about quitting and obviously they don't approve but I don't see any reason why I can't if I can balance my hormones on my own
Should we rest more towards the progesterone time ? I feel I get really tired around the week before menstration I struggle with exercise . Should I add more carbs during this time ?
