Hi, really appreciate you covering this. Do have to say though that, yes all scientific info about fasting is mainly based on males, but that's why, FAST LIKE A GIRL, is so important to read of you want to Fast at all. Fasting in my experience really helps with insulin resistance during the perimenpause phase. Plus the book teaches you when to fast and when not to and really helps you understand how your hormones come in and out through your cycle. However, I do completely agree, like you said that you do need to get enough nutrients in and really understand what you are doing if you chose to fast, but I don't think it should be excluded as help towards your perimenpausal journey. Thanks for the podcast.

You fast at night not during the day. Especially the earlier part.

You are correct. It is happened younger and younger too. Thanks to xeno estrogen everything and toxic toxic meds. EMF too. And of course those injections people took in 21/22..

I think the idea of hrt is definitely becoming more mainstream but when to start it is still ambiguous.

[@jessicahitchens6926]

You start during Peri... it's not that complicated. Some women notice changed others not so much or they're not as connected to their bodies too. A lot of women are ignorant.
