I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. Mindy! Check out her work here: Fast Like a Girl amzn.to/3OOAvSu Dr. Mindy's UA-cam Channel www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz Let us know about your experience with intermittent fasting in the comments below. Thank you for watching! Love, Jennifer
As much as i admire Dr. Mindy i followed all her videos did everything she says stop fasting 7 days before your cycle i did and kept low carb all the same 6 pounds gained took me 2 weeks to get them off went through hell. Then tried to get back on the fasting omg hell 😢 this does not apply to all women iam 41 new baby 2 adult kids. ❤
I tried fasting and it did not work for me and after hearing some podcast with Dr. Mindy and tried again. I lost weight then gained weight. Then I got the book Fast like a Girl and realized I was fasting wrong. Lost weight again and I'm hoping I keep losing. So far I'm down 12.6 lbs. 18 more pounds to go.
I was thinking exactly the same! Even some professional interviewers don't seem to be able to do that! You are such a lovely person, Jennifer! Love from London x
I completed a 9 day fast recently. I started on the first day of my cycle. I had bone broth a few days in, checked my blood sugar multiple times a day, drank electrolytes in my water, and slept amazing! Breaking the fast with coconut water, watermelon and kimchi worked wonders for me. I’m an experienced faster and this isn’t my first long fast, but doing this fast according to my hormone cycle made a world of difference and I felt great the entire time ❤
This was one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Mindy. You asked her what she applied in her own life … what she eats, how much protein etc etc and that is so helpful! Thank you Jennifer you are a shining star on this platform.
Yes!!! I always skip by the tampon aisle with happiness everytime I'm at Safeway. Do not miss it AT ALL...esp PMS. I know people complain about menopause but I was glad to exchange it if it meant not getting my period every month! Freedom!😄
I am age 80 and recently did a 5 day fast which was great. Then about 10 days later, I was energetically low. I realize now, that I really need to break the long fast with protein. The book arrives is a couple days and your interview clarified a lot.
I’ve noticed that continuing to minimize carbs after a fast is important because fasting is helping to use up our glucose stores. Why would we just fill them up again?
these two women has made me the dream version of myself, I bought all the books of Jennifer last year, read and still applying to my life, this year I am reading and going through the rabbit hole world of Dr Mindy! I just cannot believe I get to see them discussing together. What a genuine, humble and at the same time strong empowering energy you can bring! Thanks to you both for being you!
Jennifer and Dr. Mindy, I learned sooooo much. I am a woman who stopped her cycle 10 years ago and have gained a ton of weight. I started, Dr. Mindy would be so proud.......January 2nd! Fasting 18 hours and then starting my eating window. Already sleeping better!
I don’t actively fast, but I started something that has helped me so much. I was taught to eat 3 meals a day growing up, and one day I asked “why?”, and “ Who says?” I can skip breakfast if I want to! So, I frequently skip a meal if I am not hungry. This is easy. ❤
I loved this discussion! I have learned so much from Dr. Mindy. I started I. F. after learning about your experience and although I was already pretty lean I lost the last 10-15 lbs of stubborn weight and felt amazing. I loved feeling like I was in control rather than food and felt clarity and more energy as well. After a little over a year of I. F. I became pregnant and while I couldn’t intermittent fast, I tried to keep my diet similarly good (that had improved with IF). I had had five pregnancies and with the last three I had gestational diabetes and then with the sixth after IF, I did NOT get gestational diabetes. My dr was so surprised. I attribute it mostly to IF the year or so before conceiving. I had my healthiest pregnancy of all as a 43 year old. Now I am breastfeeding so I’m doing a modified IF of up to 14-15 hour fasting window. I look forward to some longer fasts after nursing. Six weeks after giving birth I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and feeling amazing. I’m an IF fan! Thank you to both dr mindy for what I have learned from her and also your example to start me on that road!
I read the book on my flights over labor day weekend. I started my 2 week prep this week. I'm in perimenopause. It has been a struggle and I needed to do something different. I now feel that I am finally on right track and still figuring out what schedule will work best for me. I think the breakfast by 8 or so after an AM fasting workout and late afternoon/early last meal will work for me. Going to start trying that schedule. My fast range this week was 13 hours -17.5 hours. I did notice my right knee pain has reduced. So I know inflammation is reduced. 🙌🏼 healthy whole foods, healthy proteins/fats, healthy complex carbs, and cycling fasted and fed states to metabolic switching makes complete sense. My science brain is also completely intrigued with my N of 1 study and I do have acces to CGM and BG testing. This conversation was great to hear certain points after reading the book. I look forward to Dr. Pelz next book. Thank you. ! I'm coming for ya perimenopause !🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏽💪🏽
Also a mature woman, 75, fasting since Christmas 2021 (18 mos). So happy with this lifestyleand still seeking great podcasters on the subject. Dr Mindy Pelz and Jennifer are terrific! See you in London! (Aug for me).
I had a wonderful aha moment when Dr Mindy started talking about spotting for up to a week before a period! That is the stage I am at (I am 53) and my doctor couldn't shed any light on this matter, just wiped me off with 'it's normal'. I always felt that my body was struggling to get to a real period! Now I know I was right and I know WHY!!! Thank you Thank you, Jennifer and Dr Mindy!!!
For me it's just another confirmation that what we should do in the first place is to trust and listen to our body. Totally explains why many girls always crave sugary foods just before their period.
This was an excellent interview, but I admit that one of the true perks of 16-8 for me, a food addict, was its simplicity. I'm glad you asked the last question about menopausal women, because I was really hoping she would say if 16-8 is working, with the occasional variance as you mentioned with 'life', stick with it. But now it sounds like we should be trying to add in shorter, longer, no fasts & it starts to feel a little stressful as the ease is replaced by (at least initially) more attention to the process. Still thinking through those thoughts, so appreciate the information very much.
I’m testing Dr. Mindy’s 30 day reset and it seemed overwhelming at first, but is quite simple once you put it in action because the repetition is still there, just in longer increments instead of 24 hours.
Loved this. You asked all the right questions! I’m a post menopausal 63-year-old woman and I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for years. I started doing it before anybody called it that! I got lots of people telling me I was supposed to eat and fasting was going to cause problems. I started doing it about 40 years ago because I discovered that if I ate after 6 o’clock, I gained weight. I also noticed that if I Finished eating before three and worked out from 3 to 6. I lost more weight than I did otherwise. I discovered Dr Mindy Pelz and Ben Azadi a few months ago during a Keto Kamp Challenge. I’ve been learning quite a bit about the right way to do keto and just to simply be healthier. I’ve made a lot of changes in the last few months and, I feel a lot better. BTW, thank you for asking about craving carbs. Like you, I like meat, but I’m not a big meat eater. I don’t know whether that was because I thought I wasn’t supposed to be or just because of my appetite. When I first started to do keto, it was very difficult for me and I kept falling off the wagon. Not because I was eating chips or bread or anything like that. I wanted salad. All salad, all the time! But since you asked that question, now I know when I have those cravings I should eat that last instead of what I’ve been doing, which has been eating it in the middle of the day. I’m anxious to make that adjustment and see what the results will be. Thank you so much for having this podcast.❤
This answered so many of my questions on fasting. I have consistently been doing a daily 14 hour fast for about 2 years and never thought I could go longer. I recently completed several 18-26 hour fasts as a treatment for migraines (only thing that has helped for this) and my digestion improved even more. I have also found that eating earlier and “skipping” dinner is just easier on my body and I don’t feel deprived. Thanks for the great video 😊
What a fantastic conversation! I now have all my answers thanks to you both. This podcast is a wealth of information. I follow Dr. Mindy Pelz and now I’ve subscribed to your channel as well. I’m 70 and do regular IF and had all the questions you’ve dealt with! When to eat protein and when do I have my good carbs, how to break my fast and how to come off a fast 1 or 2 days a week. I go on regular cruises and never over indulge but worry about eating carbs or eating a bit late and having a good time. I now know how to deal with these situations as I’m normal weight and healthy and no medication which is a great place to be at 70. I’m much obliged to you for this video. Thank you so much 💕🙏💐
Wow! That was sooooo informative. Like you, Jennifer, I sat there ticking off points that really resonated. And as someone aged 65, that last bit about the new book really made me sit up. Going from high performance to not remembering how to drive is terrifying! I know I'm not alone. Cannot wait for you to have her back. Thanks so much for this video.
You can't imagine (or maybe you can) how much this information was needed and appreciated! I ordered Dr. Mindy's book halfway through the video and because I'm 52 and menopausal, I can't wait for the next one!! Thank you both so much!!🤗
I’m so glad I stumbled over your podcast with Dr Mindy. I learned so much about myself. Soooo many questions were answered. I am currently on a 7 day liquid fast within a 16-8 intermittent window. I do have her book. So many very pertinent questions you asked that were answered so practically and understandably. Thank you. New to your channel. My first time but I have subscribed. I am 73 and have started the intermittent fasting in May of 2023. Went from 231 lbs to presently 164.8 lbs. was dealing with issues how do I eat again. Couldn’t get a handle on it until now. I would just go back to protein shake as I searched for the answer.
Wow ! What a wealth of information. So helpful to me and my co workers who are nurses but weren’t taught any of this. Fasting has helped the post menopausal memory fog!
I’ve been a fan of both of you, Jennifer, and Dr Mindy for some time now, so this appearance together is a real treat. Your questions have helped to clarify several concepts I didn’t understand before, such as the role of the sex hormones. Thank you, ladies.
I've been looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint! I've had the book about 3 months and have learned so much. I am 45 and just now learning all about it. Wishing all women could learn this much sooner than I did. Thanks for sharing it with your followers and Thanks to Dr. Mindy Pelz for teaching it so well that we can understand it. Much love and many blessings to each of you.
Oh this was wonderful, Jennifer. Thank you!! Entering the menopausal period now and I’m so glad that I intermittently fast as many of the chronic issues my friends are meeting, I’m not seeing these more acute symptoms at all. I think this is due to Dr Mindy and her work! So fabulous that two of my favourite people on the internet came together for this very important conversation! Bring on Dr M’s new book: I cannot wait for it!! ❤
This video came at a perfect time! I’ve seen your success and decided to give IF a chance. After seeing this I immediately purchased Dr Pelz’s book and jumped in. In only a few days I started feeling better. If anyone is hesitant due to word “fasting” fear not, this isn’t about starvation or deprivation. Thank you for sharing!!!
This was absolutely fascinating. I was envisaging watching a few sections but was utterly compelled by the entire interview. So much wisdom and experience, I found Dr Mindy so easy to understand and her passion for the topic is so obvious. Thank you so much.
This is a great interview! I am new to fasting (a few months) motivated to lose weight because I was diagnosed with Lipedema in March. I have been listening to Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, Dr. Boz and a few others. Just discovered Dr. Mindy and I am thrilled! I find that I love the control I have over food with IF. I used to eat and snack throughout the day and into the late night. Now, I eat once or twice a day and nothing in between. I feel really free and I have lost 20+ pounds in a little over 2 months. I find that it is not difficult to do. I was on vacation for one week and did take a break from fasting and low carb. I did not gain any weight (to my pleasant surprise). I will buy Dr. Mindy’s book to get a deeper understanding of the impact of IF on hormones. Thank you for shedding light on this topic. 😊
Thank you for such an informative, plesent interview. Dr. Mindy, I learn every day more from you. Thank you for your science approach and for your holistic approach, it's amazing. I'm a doctor of medicine and still I learn things from you that we payed to little attention to in medical studies. I'm amased how easy and understandable you explain everything. I thing the science behind fasting will keep me occupied for the rest of my life now that I' ve discovered it. Thank you very much! ❤
I was so happy to see this video. I just started to fast according to my cycle because of Dr. Mindy, after fasting for about 10 months. The hardest part is learning to not fast from day 20 until day 1 !!
I agree! I was surprised at how easy it was to transition to the longer fasts, which left me with more energy than usual. I didn’t want to give that up on day 20! I mostly ignored her food and macro recommendations for the first two weeks because it was overwhelming, but slowly started adding them in after that.
Me too! Can I ask what you did Day 6, then 7-10 as the book says day 6, 24 hr fast then days 7-10 autophagy fasting, do you eat on between and do both fasts??
Wow! Two amazing ladies in one video! Can't wait to get a chance later today to listen to you both speak about the joys of intermittent fasting. I've learned so much about intermittent fasting from BOTH of you, and it has already changed my health so much!
I have learned so much from Dr. Mindy's youtube channel and then her book. Really love her dedication towards healing women's hormones. More power to you both❤
Thanks to you, firstly, and then Cynthia Thurlow, I commenced intermittent fasting in September last year and it has changed my life. I’m am at a weight I only dreamt of and have stayed fasting for the way I feel - I now have balanced hormones and feel better than ever. What a great video with Dr Pelz. I will definitely read her book next. I’m 53 😘 Thank you again.
VERY interesting! Thank you, ladies! I am on day 6 of IF. My doctor has put me on this because I’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time even though my breasts were removed the last time I was diagnosed. I was wondering just this morning how to best to break my fast. And wondering just how long will I be expected to fast. I don’t think I’m eating enough because I’m just not hungry. Thank you for sharing, Jennifer!
I started 12 hours of fasting and increased it slowly and gradually up to 16 for about 1 year during the pandemic. Lost about 13 pounds - more than I was planing.. Worked perfectly but my daughter was diagnosed with anorexia and I quit fasting in order to eat with her..Thankfully she was treated for 1 year and is healthy again. Slowly restarting fasting -cautiosly because I want to set a good example but is tricky to say the least..
I started fasting a little over a month ago. I started slowly going between 12:12 and 13:11. After two weeks, I adjusted the time and worked my way up to 16:8. I recently started alternating between 16:8 and 20:4. Today, I started my first 40-hour fast. However, I will adjust the hours after tomorrow since it is day 18 of my cycle. 😅 I like fasting ❤; in addition to weight loss, it gives me more time to focus on other areas of my life, saves money, and helps me be more mindful of my meals. The mental clarity is also a plus. I live in Japan so work culture here can be pretty demanding and stressful. On the bright side, unsweetened teas with zero calories are in abundance. 😊
Im binge watching Dr. Mindy and writing down everything yall are talking about. Just here to say how much I appreciate how she looks at our bodies and the healthy outlook she has on food. Its all positive with positive information on how to change your body for the better and how amazing our bodies are. Food is our friend and fasting is our friend. They are both positive tools that can help us thrive when used correctly and when your nourish your body correctly. Love it. Im just getting started with this but already implementing what im learning. My books are ordered.
Haha, "what does not fasting at all look like?" 😂 I was just fasting for 36 hours before my period, and not feeling happy when I woke up. Then I found this video & now I know why! Thank you Jen and Mindy!
I’m doing 5 weeks of her 36hour rolling fasts. I’m post menopause. Does she address and explain in the book what to do after, in terms of for post menopausal women? I know she covers pre and peri- menopausal. Just wondering before I by the book. I’m an avid watcher of her videos, so wondering if there is info in the book on this, beyond what her videos contain already. Thanks!
I have Lyme disease and other tick borne infections, recently diagnosed with PCOS, my period is all over the place.. I was started on progesterone since mine was so low, but periods are still very irregular. My fasting insulin is 8, so I am also working on my overall carb and sugar intake, mainly reducing my dessert portions. It seems to be working based on weight but I haven’t had an updated insulin level since February. Now I seem to either skip a month or get it twice in one month. It’s exhausting trying to keep up with chronic illness. I never knew that women had to fast different until a came across another UA-camr who suggested Dr mindy’s book. I’m so used to fasting 16 hours a day that it’s actually hard to eat earlier in the day. I need to order this book and I Hope that it will Help me get my periods regular again.
I am 63, don’t want to stop fasting (don’t feel I’m quite there yet, fighting carb & sugar cravings still) I am skinny now how I’ve always wanted to be my whole life, and continue fasting for autophagy (doing extended fasting easily and regularly) because feel/know my body needs to heal itself especially for gut healing! I am experiencing some hair loss at this time(?) Love and follow Dr. Mindy’s UA-cams!
Really enjoyed this interview.. I'm going to buy that book.. I did a 60 hour fast earlier this week..did not fast for two days and am now in a fasted state again.. I was thinking to do OMAD, but after listening I may refrain from OMAD as a long term solution, and perhaps just skip OMAD and go into a 24 hour fast periodically.. the variation of fasting will help long term with the way our body's are designed to work as females.. can't wait to dive into the book! Thanks Jennifer for hosting this wonderful guest with a wealth of beneficial information! .
Years ago when I tried and there was no advice for women on how to fast, especially in Italian, I tried intermittent fasting every day and after less than a month I damaged my menstrual cycle which did not come for 3 MONTHS!! Since this never happened to me I knew fasting was not right for us at least not the way people like to promote it. Now with the help of Dr Mindy I am glad I can experience this beauty of loving my body and give it some rest in a healthy and loving way❤❤
I have seen many interviews with Dr. Mindy. I agree that this is the best one yet! Everything was broken down clearly and concisely so that any woman could understand how fasting works. Thank you both so much! ❤ I have done the different lengths of fasts, and am currently finishing up reading, "Fast Like A Girl." It is an excellent resource, and has helped me understand how the woman's body works with hormones and fasting. Don't be afraid to try fasting. 😊
I have been binge watching Dr. Mindy for days now! I’m on day 3 of 16/8 and feel great but it’s the week before my period so I’m not going too. I just love this and cannot wait to get the book!!! Everything makes so much sense! Thank you! ❤
Watched this video today and ordered the book immediately. I had great result with fasting and brisk walking in 2020 wherein I lost 10kgs within a year. But a lot of people commented on how 'sick' i looked and unfortunately, i allowed them to get to me. I stopped fasting and went back to my midnight snacking. Now in 2023, i have gained all of that weight back plus a couple more kgs. So at 5.6" (or maybe half an inch less) and above 35years, i weight 60kgs and i don't feel good at all. I have restarted fasting (been 2 days only) and i feel lucky to have watched this video. Hopefully this time too, i will lose the weight and keep it off. Thanks for doing this interview. Also, I ordered one of your books too, Jennifer.😊
Thanks for the interview. So glad she gave the tid-bit about nursing moms not going over 15 hours fasting. Fasting is in the Bible for religious reasons, but I think it was God's way to keep his people healthy also. I love the etheral music at the end of your videos and could listen to a loop of it!
Thanks for doing this interview! I'm a faster and have been following Dr. Mindy Pelz for a few years now. Am a part of her Reset Academy and have learned so much from her! This was a great interview.
Wow! Such a great interview and just what I needed to start fasting. I see I have alot to learn. I'm 68, been treating stage 3 kidney disease for a year and obese. I've just started increasing my fast from 12 hours to 18 hours and Boom! My weight started to move down! 5lb in 7 days. I'll buy her book and learn how to continue to heal through fasting. I pray it will help my creatine and grf numbers improve as well. Thank you for asking the questions that were in my head.
Very informative interview. I am 62 years old and have been intermittent fasting since September 2021. My goal is to lose 30 pounds, but I've only lost approximately 10 pounds, which is frustrating, especially when I seem to be doing everything right. On the other hand, I haven't gained, which was the norm for many years, despite doing calorie counting and exercising. I feel good and my last physical went well. Thank you for this useful information!
I needed this! I just lost 65 lbs in less than one year. I was on the Optiva program. Now I'm struggling with cravings and uncontrollable eating. I feel crappy and need a change. I'm 71 years old so her new book will help me. Thanks Jennifer for sharing.😮
I learned a lot from this interview and had several questions answered, even after 7 years of keto/IF and tons of research. I liked learning how our sex hormones, thyroid, protein, mood hormones and neurotransmitters, all these things at a cellular level, need addressed. Thanks, Jennifer and Dr. Mindy!
I have been wanting to watch this for so long. I finally got to it so much good information where I am at right now I’m 56 and I’ve been on and off time restricted eating. I’m getting nuggets of info from different places but I feel like Dr. Mindy is going to give me everything I need, I am ordering that book now and have recommended to my cousin who is my age. We constantly talk about the stuff and don’t feel like we’re getting answers.
This was a fantastic interview! Dr. Mindy helped answer some of my biggest hurdles w/ int. fasting! I am so grateful for her wisdom and excited to get her book!
Thank you! I gave up on fasting and have been struggling with extra weight ever since. This has inspired me to try again in alignment with my cycle this time.
Yes! You change your mind because you are educating yourself. I try to keep my mind open and this was the best explanation i have heard. Love your content. It's a beautiful space that doesn't raise my angst. Thank you.
So happy about this interview ❤😊! I read Dr Mindy's book a few months ago and started fasting. It improved my health and hormones so much! Love your channel, Jennifer! Keep shining and God bless you 🙏🤍
I’m post menopausal and appreciate the last question. I have both of Mindys books but on some points concerning being post menopausal I’ve learned more from her videos. Don’t get me wrong so much great info in the books but only seems to lightly touch on us older gals.
If I'm thinking of more protein but meat is "eh", I go with plant proteins or adding protein powder to my ice cream! So now my small scoop of homemade frozen banana pureé is now 15g of protein! Or to my cuppa coffee or tea with protein powder is another 15g. The other thing about protein is adding a good fat. A good fat (I make olive oil mayo) will make any chicken breast slide down, oh, so much easier! 💕🌞🌵😷
Almost completely in my menopause and what helpes me is a lot of green veggies, more protein in yoghurt or eggs and carbs mostly from fruit. Almost no addit sugars or food from package. Walk a lot and do 14 hours fast. I believe your body is telling you if you eat well or not.
Post menopausal checking in. I have her book and learned even more today. Thanks for that excellent question about “Why should I keep fasting?” I’m doing the 5-1-1
Thank you Jennifer for being so transparent that we were able to gain a wealth of knowledge to help us along our journey. Yes 2 great women together. Awesome!!!❤
Wow! Dr. Mindy, you kept popping up on my algorithm and I kept ignoring then finally watched on of your episodes and you are exactly what I need! So now watching this one with Jennifer and she’s awesome too! Can’t wait until I have time to binge watch every episode and will order your book. I love your background Doc, always filled with books! Thank you both for this wonderful episode and for all that both of you do!
Dr. Mindy rocks. i lost 60 pounds with IT AND NOW VARIATIONS EVEN A ONCE A WEEK 36 hr which so works!! and low carb. i’m 65 and walk, lift and keep goi g with all the good brain (mind) and body info like ur channel and Doc. Mindys’😅❤
Since March 2020 I water fast 3 days/week for 24h. And since Sept 2020 I extended the period to about 36h. It was the best decision related to my health I did in my life. 4 times a year I also do a 3 days water fasting. I don’t change my fasting too much. When I did 3 days/24h I didn’t loose weight almost at all. Now seems that I stoped to loose weight anymore. I am kinda stable. I never adjusted my fasting according to my periods. Seems that works for me. I love this interview and dr. Mindy. I wished to understand better why in my case my fasting regime is not bother so much by my monthly hormonal changes.
What a great discussion! I just started IF (16:8) two weeks ago. I’ve learned so much from Dr. Mindy through her channel but so much more to learn. I will definitely pick up her book.
Thank you both for a great interview! I am very much looking forward to her new book on women, menopause, and neurotransmitter levels, as I have sensed this change in myself, and now supplement to correct for it - but I'm really interested in what Dr Mindy will have to say!
Thank you for the book.. Just happen to see it in a bookstore and have tried fasting. I love how you also address those who are menopause. Really appreciate your hard work on this.😊
Thank you for posting this interview with Dr. Mindy. I purchased the book a few weeks ago and have listened to it in its entirety. I love having a hard copy too as I reference it frequently. Your questions to Dr. Mindy helped me understand more about the benefits of fasting and how we should tackle it based on our hormones. I start
Wow! Chaulked full of Super Helpful info❣️ Thank you! I did OMAD for many months in order to loose postpartum weight to get pregnant again. I did check all my nutrients with the dr and all was excellent. BUT my progesterone was too low to stay pregnant so it took a few months longer than with previous kids. I got off keto and OMAD, gained 35# and got pregnant. So now I'm starting my journey all over again but this time I'm struggling to do OMAD, gonna listen closer to my body this time and switch it up! Hugely helpful video! Thank you soooo much!
I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. Mindy! Check out her work here: Fast Like a Girl amzn.to/3OOAvSu Dr. Mindy's UA-cam Channel www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz Let us know about your experience with intermittent fasting in the comments below. Thank you for watching! Love, Jennifer
As much as i admire Dr. Mindy i followed all her videos did everything she says stop fasting 7 days before your cycle i did and kept low carb all the same 6 pounds gained took me 2 weeks to get them off went through hell. Then tried to get back on the fasting omg hell 😢 this does not apply to all women iam 41 new baby 2 adult kids. ❤
I tried fasting and it did not work for me and after hearing some podcast with Dr. Mindy and tried again. I lost weight then gained weight. Then I got the book Fast like a Girl and realized I was fasting wrong. Lost weight again and I'm hoping I keep losing. So far I'm down 12.6 lbs. 18 more pounds to go.
What a mind blowing discussion you have with Dr Mindy, thank you for posting this pod cast.
I'm just
Jennifer, you are so respectful of your guest, you ask them a question, and then actually allow them to answer. That is a special gift.
💞
Thank you! ♥
I was thinking exactly the same! Even some professional interviewers don't seem to be able to do that! You are such a lovely person, Jennifer! Love from London x
Exactly I will stop watching a video because The interviewer will interrupt their guest…. It drives me Nuts!!! Lol thank you so very much ❤
This comment might get me to subscribe! Love that. Some hosts are so out of control to show off what they know instead of listening to the guest.
I love how Dr. Mindy spoke of family dinner being a higher priority than the timing of your fast. So beautiful and true. ❤❤❤
I completed a 9 day fast recently. I started on the first day of my cycle. I had bone broth a few days in, checked my blood sugar multiple times a day, drank electrolytes in my water, and slept amazing! Breaking the fast with coconut water, watermelon and kimchi worked wonders for me. I’m an experienced faster and this isn’t my first long fast, but doing this fast according to my hormone cycle made a world of difference and I felt great the entire time ❤
Thank you for sharing 💙
This was one of the best interviews I’ve seen with Mindy. You asked her what she applied in her own life … what she eats, how much protein etc etc and that is so helpful! Thank you Jennifer you are a shining star on this platform.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the interview. Thank you!
This was a great conversation but trust me…I do NOT miss having a period. There is much I wish I knew sooner but don’t miss that period.
Haha! So funny, Denise!
Same!!!
Right on‼️ I’m on HRT… No symptoms, hot flashes gone…life is great!….except for this weight loss stuff😝 Love that you two have collaborated ❤️
Yes!!! I always skip by the tampon aisle with happiness everytime I'm at Safeway. Do not miss it AT ALL...esp PMS. I know people complain about menopause but I was glad to exchange it if it meant not getting my period every month! Freedom!😄
Same😂
I am age 80 and recently did a 5 day fast which was great. Then about 10 days later, I was energetically low. I realize now, that I really need to break the long fast with protein. The book arrives is a couple days and your interview clarified a lot.
I’ve noticed that continuing to minimize carbs after a fast is important because fasting is helping to use up our glucose stores. Why would we just fill them up again?
these two women has made me the dream version of myself, I bought all the books of Jennifer last year, read and still applying to my life, this year I am reading and going through the rabbit hole world of Dr Mindy! I just cannot believe I get to see them discussing together. What a genuine, humble and at the same time strong empowering energy you can bring! Thanks to you both for being you!
Thank you so much. ♥️♥️
Thank you so much. I neat more info because I'm over 50.
Jennifer and Dr. Mindy, I learned sooooo much. I am a woman who stopped her cycle 10 years ago and have gained a ton of weight. I started, Dr. Mindy would be so proud.......January 2nd! Fasting 18 hours and then starting my eating window. Already sleeping better!
Dr. Mindy is amazing. I've learned so much ! I'm 47 and I fast for 16-18 hours daily. I'm feeling spectacular!,,
I don’t actively fast, but I started something that has helped me so much. I was taught to eat 3 meals a day growing up, and one day I asked “why?”, and “ Who says?” I can skip breakfast if I want to! So, I frequently skip a meal if I am not hungry. This is easy. ❤
I loved this discussion! I have learned so much from Dr. Mindy. I started I. F. after learning about your experience and although I was already pretty lean I lost the last 10-15 lbs of stubborn weight and felt amazing. I loved feeling like I was in control rather than food and felt clarity and more energy as well. After a little over a year of I. F. I became pregnant and while I couldn’t intermittent fast, I tried to keep my diet similarly good (that had improved with IF). I had had five pregnancies and with the last three I had gestational diabetes and then with the sixth after IF, I did NOT get gestational diabetes. My dr was so surprised. I attribute it mostly to IF the year or so before conceiving. I had my healthiest pregnancy of all as a 43 year old. Now I am breastfeeding so I’m doing a modified IF of up to 14-15 hour fasting window. I look forward to some longer fasts after nursing. Six weeks after giving birth I was back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and feeling amazing. I’m an IF fan! Thank you to both dr mindy for what I have learned from her and also your example to start me on that road!
How wonderful you didn't get gestational diabetes the last time. That is rare!
Did you suffer from adrenal fatigue or hypoglycemia during IF? Thanks
@@mariyamshafique6262 not that I know of.
What?! Dr Mindy Pelz and Jennifer L. Scott in the same video. My worlds have collided 😊 Really enjoyed the conversation.
Dr. Mindys passion and excitement for what she is talking about is very contagious and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing her with me!
Yes! She has wonderful energy. ✨
💞
I read the book on my flights over labor day weekend. I started my 2 week prep this week. I'm in perimenopause. It has been a struggle and I needed to do something different. I now feel that I am finally on right track and still figuring out what schedule will work best for me. I think the breakfast by 8 or so after an AM fasting workout and late afternoon/early last meal will work for me. Going to start trying that schedule. My fast range this week was 13 hours -17.5 hours. I did notice my right knee pain has reduced. So I know inflammation is reduced. 🙌🏼 healthy whole foods, healthy proteins/fats, healthy complex carbs, and cycling fasted and fed states to metabolic switching makes complete sense. My science brain is also completely intrigued with my N of 1 study and I do have acces to CGM and BG testing. This conversation was great to hear certain points after reading the book. I look forward to Dr. Pelz next book. Thank you. ! I'm coming for ya perimenopause !🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you, ladies! I am 73, and this discussion was very helpful in addressing the questions I had.
Also a mature woman, 75, fasting since Christmas 2021 (18 mos). So happy with this lifestyleand still seeking great podcasters on the subject. Dr Mindy Pelz and Jennifer are terrific! See you in London! (Aug for me).
I had a wonderful aha moment when Dr Mindy started talking about spotting for up to a week before a period! That is the stage I am at (I am 53) and my doctor couldn't shed any light on this matter, just wiped me off with 'it's normal'. I always felt that my body was struggling to get to a real period! Now I know I was right and I know WHY!!! Thank you Thank you, Jennifer and Dr Mindy!!!
Same here, I spot for like 4-5 days, and Dr had no input to help. So glad we're not alone! 💕
For me it's just another confirmation that what we should do in the first place is to trust and listen to our body. Totally explains why many girls always crave sugary foods just before their period.
The key is to make it good carbs and not sugary foods like cake and ice cream. 💕🌞🌵😷
This was an excellent interview, but I admit that one of the true perks of 16-8 for me, a food addict, was its simplicity. I'm glad you asked the last question about menopausal women, because I was really hoping she would say if 16-8 is working, with the occasional variance as you mentioned with 'life', stick with it. But now it sounds like we should be trying to add in shorter, longer, no fasts & it starts to feel a little stressful as the ease is replaced by (at least initially) more attention to the process. Still thinking through those thoughts, so appreciate the information very much.
I’m testing Dr. Mindy’s 30 day reset and it seemed overwhelming at first, but is quite simple once you put it in action because the repetition is still there, just in longer increments instead of 24 hours.
Loved this. You asked all the right questions! I’m a post menopausal 63-year-old woman and I’ve been doing intermittent fasting for years. I started doing it before anybody called it that! I got lots of people telling me I was supposed to eat and fasting was going to cause problems. I started doing it about 40 years ago because I discovered that if I ate after 6 o’clock, I gained weight. I also noticed that if I Finished eating before three and worked out from 3 to 6. I lost more weight than I did otherwise. I discovered Dr Mindy Pelz and Ben Azadi a few months ago during a Keto Kamp Challenge. I’ve been learning quite a bit about the right way to do keto and just to simply be healthier. I’ve made a lot of changes in the last few months and, I feel a lot better. BTW, thank you for asking about craving carbs. Like you, I like meat, but I’m not a big meat eater. I don’t know whether that was because I thought I wasn’t supposed to be or just because of my appetite. When I first started to do keto, it was very difficult for me and I kept falling off the wagon. Not because I was eating chips or bread or anything like that. I wanted salad. All salad, all the time! But since you asked that question, now I know when I have those cravings I should eat that last instead of what I’ve been doing, which has been eating it in the middle of the day. I’m anxious to make that adjustment and see what the results will be. Thank you so much for having this podcast.❤
This answered so many of my questions on fasting. I have consistently been doing a daily 14 hour fast for about 2 years and never thought I could go longer. I recently completed several 18-26 hour fasts as a treatment for migraines (only thing that has helped for this) and my digestion improved even more. I have also found that eating earlier and “skipping” dinner is just easier on my body and I don’t feel deprived. Thanks for the great video 😊
What a fantastic conversation! I now have all my answers thanks to you both. This podcast is a wealth of information. I follow Dr. Mindy Pelz and now I’ve subscribed to your channel as well. I’m 70 and do regular IF and had all the questions you’ve dealt with! When to eat protein and when do I have my good carbs, how to break my fast and how to come off a fast 1 or 2 days a week. I go on regular cruises and never over indulge but worry about eating carbs or eating a bit late and having a good time.
I now know how to deal with these situations as I’m normal weight and healthy and no medication which is a great place to be at 70. I’m much obliged to you for this video. Thank you so much 💕🙏💐
Wow! That was sooooo informative. Like you, Jennifer, I sat there ticking off points that really resonated. And as someone aged 65, that last bit about the new book really made me sit up. Going from high performance to not remembering how to drive is terrifying! I know I'm not alone. Cannot wait for you to have her back. Thanks so much for this video.
You can't imagine (or maybe you can) how much this information was needed and appreciated! I ordered Dr. Mindy's book halfway through the video and because I'm 52 and menopausal, I can't wait for the next one!! Thank you both so much!!🤗
Yes! #Sharing
Dr. Mindy Peltz is saving humankind by saving women in this day and age! I follow all her channels. ❤❤ This was good. Thank you
Very good of you to share Dr. Mindy and fasting like a girl! You're amazing Jennifer.
I enjoyed our conversation. Thank you!
I’m so glad I stumbled over your podcast with Dr Mindy. I learned so much about myself. Soooo many questions were answered. I am currently on a 7 day liquid fast within a 16-8 intermittent window. I do have her book. So many very pertinent questions you asked that were answered so practically and understandably. Thank you. New to your channel. My first time but I have subscribed. I am 73 and have started the intermittent fasting in May of 2023. Went from 231 lbs to presently 164.8 lbs. was dealing with issues how do I eat again. Couldn’t get a handle on it until now. I would just go back to protein shake as I searched for the answer.
Wow ! What a wealth of information. So helpful to me and my co workers who are nurses but weren’t taught any of this. Fasting has helped the post menopausal memory fog!
I’ve been a fan of both of you, Jennifer, and Dr Mindy for some time now, so this appearance together is a real treat. Your questions have helped to clarify several concepts I didn’t understand before, such as the role of the sex hormones. Thank you, ladies.
I’m reading her book now, thanks to this interview. It’s filled with such great information that will take my fasting up a notch!
I've been looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint! I've had the book about 3 months and have learned so much. I am 45 and just now learning all about it. Wishing all women could learn this much sooner than I did. Thanks for sharing it with your followers and Thanks to Dr. Mindy Pelz for teaching it so well that we can understand it. Much love and many blessings to each of you.
Oh this was wonderful, Jennifer. Thank you!! Entering the menopausal period now and I’m so glad that I intermittently fast as many of the chronic issues my friends are meeting, I’m not seeing these more acute symptoms at all. I think this is due to Dr Mindy and her work! So fabulous that two of my favourite people on the internet came together for this very important conversation! Bring on Dr M’s new book: I cannot wait for it!! ❤
This video came at a perfect time! I’ve seen your success and decided to give IF a chance. After seeing this I immediately purchased Dr Pelz’s book and jumped in. In only a few days I started feeling better. If anyone is hesitant due to word “fasting” fear not, this isn’t about starvation or deprivation. Thank you for sharing!!!
This was absolutely fascinating. I was envisaging watching a few sections but was utterly compelled by the entire interview. So much wisdom and experience, I found Dr Mindy so easy to understand and her passion for the topic is so obvious. Thank you so much.
This is a great interview! I am new to fasting (a few months) motivated to lose weight because I was diagnosed with Lipedema in March. I have been listening to Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, Dr. Boz and a few others. Just discovered Dr. Mindy and I am thrilled! I find that I love the control I have over food with IF. I used to eat and snack throughout the day and into the late night. Now, I eat once or twice a day and nothing in between. I feel really free and I have lost 20+ pounds in a little over 2 months. I find that it is not difficult to do. I was on vacation for one week and did take a break from fasting and low carb. I did not gain any weight (to my pleasant surprise). I will buy Dr. Mindy’s book to get a deeper understanding of the impact of IF on hormones. Thank you for shedding light on this topic. 😊
Thank you for such an informative, plesent interview. Dr. Mindy, I learn every day more from you. Thank you for your science approach and for your holistic approach, it's amazing. I'm a doctor of medicine and still I learn things from you that we payed to little attention to in medical studies. I'm amased how easy and understandable you explain everything. I thing the science behind fasting will keep me occupied for the rest of my life now that I' ve discovered it. Thank you very much! ❤
I was so happy to see this video. I just started to fast according to my cycle because of Dr. Mindy, after fasting for about 10 months. The hardest part is learning to not fast from day 20 until day 1 !!
Thank you for watching!
I agree! I was surprised at how easy it was to transition to the longer fasts, which left me with more energy than usual. I didn’t want to give that up on day 20! I mostly ignored her food and macro recommendations for the first two weeks because it was overwhelming, but slowly started adding them in after that.
Me too! Can I ask what you did Day 6, then 7-10 as the book says day 6, 24 hr fast then days 7-10 autophagy fasting, do you eat on between and do both fasts??
Wow! Two amazing ladies in one video! Can't wait to get a chance later today to listen to you both speak about the joys of intermittent fasting. I've learned so much about intermittent fasting from BOTH of you, and it has already changed my health so much!
I love to hear this. Thank you!
I have learned so much from Dr. Mindy's youtube channel and then her book. Really love her dedication towards healing women's hormones. More power to you both❤
Thanks to you, firstly, and then Cynthia Thurlow, I commenced intermittent fasting in September last year and it has changed my life. I’m am at a weight I only dreamt of and have stayed fasting for the way I feel - I now have balanced hormones and feel better than ever. What a great video with Dr Pelz. I will definitely read her book next. I’m 53 😘 Thank you again.
I literally just added this book to my Amazon cart 5 minutes before I noticed your video. Now this is a must watch!
VERY interesting! Thank you, ladies! I am on day 6 of IF. My doctor has put me on this because I’ve just been diagnosed with breast cancer for the third time even though my breasts were removed the last time I was diagnosed. I was wondering just this morning how to best to break my fast. And wondering just how long will I be expected to fast. I don’t think I’m eating enough because I’m just not hungry. Thank you for sharing, Jennifer!
I started 12 hours of fasting and increased it slowly and gradually up to 16 for about 1 year during the pandemic. Lost about 13 pounds - more than I was planing..
Worked perfectly but my daughter was diagnosed with anorexia and I quit fasting in order to eat with her..Thankfully she was treated for 1 year and is healthy again. Slowly restarting fasting -cautiosly because I want to set a good example but is tricky to say the least..
Thank you for highlighting this complexity! especially for mothers of daughters
I started fasting a little over a month ago. I started slowly going between 12:12 and 13:11. After two weeks, I adjusted the time and worked my way up to 16:8. I recently started alternating between 16:8 and 20:4. Today, I started my first 40-hour fast. However, I will adjust the hours after tomorrow since it is day 18 of my cycle. 😅 I like fasting ❤; in addition to weight loss, it gives me more time to focus on other areas of my life, saves money, and helps me be more mindful of my meals. The mental clarity is also a plus. I live in Japan so work culture here can be pretty demanding and stressful. On the bright side, unsweetened teas with zero calories are in abundance. 😊
Im binge watching Dr. Mindy and writing down everything yall are talking about. Just here to say how much I appreciate how she looks at our bodies and the healthy outlook she has on food. Its all positive with positive information on how to change your body for the better and how amazing our bodies are. Food is our friend and fasting is our friend. They are both positive tools that can help us thrive when used correctly and when your nourish your body correctly. Love it. Im just getting started with this but already implementing what im learning. My books are ordered.
Haha, "what does not fasting at all look like?" 😂
I was just fasting for 36 hours before my period, and not feeling happy when I woke up. Then I found this video & now I know why!
Thank you Jen and Mindy!
Just read her book. It’s been wonderful to use her techniques! So happy to see this interview with her ❤️
I’m doing 5 weeks of her 36hour rolling fasts. I’m post menopause. Does she address and explain in the book what to do after, in terms of for post menopausal women? I know she covers pre and peri- menopausal. Just wondering before I by the book. I’m an avid watcher of her videos, so wondering if there is info in the book on this, beyond what her videos contain already. Thanks!
I have Lyme disease and other tick borne infections, recently diagnosed with PCOS, my period is all over the place.. I was started on progesterone since mine was so low, but periods are still very irregular. My fasting insulin is 8, so I am also working on my overall carb and sugar intake, mainly reducing my dessert portions. It seems to be working based on weight but I haven’t had an updated insulin level since February. Now I seem to either skip a month or get it twice in one month. It’s exhausting trying to keep up with chronic illness. I never knew that women had to fast different until a came across another UA-camr who suggested Dr mindy’s book. I’m so used to fasting 16 hours a day that it’s actually hard to eat earlier in the day. I need to order this book and I Hope that it will Help me get my periods regular again.
I am 63, don’t want to stop fasting (don’t feel I’m quite there yet, fighting carb & sugar cravings still) I am skinny now how I’ve always wanted to be my whole life, and continue fasting for autophagy (doing extended fasting easily and regularly) because feel/know my body needs to heal itself especially for gut healing! I am experiencing some hair loss at this time(?) Love and follow Dr. Mindy’s UA-cams!
Dr. Mindy, what about a video for teenage girls? How would hormones, fasting and the rollercoaster of emotions be explained to them to make sense.
Really enjoyed this interview.. I'm going to buy that book.. I did a 60 hour fast earlier this week..did not fast for two days and am now in a fasted state again.. I was thinking to do OMAD, but after listening I may refrain from OMAD as a long term solution, and perhaps just skip OMAD and go into a 24 hour fast periodically.. the variation of fasting will help long term with the way our body's are designed to work as females.. can't wait to dive into the book! Thanks Jennifer for hosting this wonderful guest with a wealth of beneficial information!
.
Years ago when I tried and there was no advice for women on how to fast, especially in Italian, I tried intermittent fasting every day and after less than a month I damaged my menstrual cycle which did not come for 3 MONTHS!! Since this never happened to me I knew fasting was not right for us at least not the way people like to promote it. Now with the help of Dr Mindy I am glad I can experience this beauty of loving my body and give it some rest in a healthy and loving way❤❤
What a sparkling dialogue! I love listening to Dr. Mindy and got her book; I learned so much from this conversation! Thank you.
I have seen many interviews with Dr. Mindy. I agree that this is the best one yet! Everything was broken down clearly and concisely so that any woman could understand how fasting works. Thank you both so much! ❤ I have done the different lengths of fasts, and am currently finishing up reading, "Fast Like A Girl." It is an excellent resource, and has helped me understand how the woman's body works with hormones and fasting. Don't be afraid to try fasting. 😊
thank you for including us older ladies!
Dr Mindy, you are so much energetic & devoted to your work. Love to listen, watch your videos & read your books.
I have been binge watching Dr. Mindy for days now! I’m on day 3 of 16/8 and feel great but it’s the week before my period so I’m not going too. I just love this and cannot wait to get the book!!! Everything makes so much sense! Thank you! ❤
Watched this video today and ordered the book immediately. I had great result with fasting and brisk walking in 2020 wherein I lost 10kgs within a year. But a lot of people commented on how 'sick' i looked and unfortunately, i allowed them to get to me. I stopped fasting and went back to my midnight snacking. Now in 2023, i have gained all of that weight back plus a couple more kgs. So at 5.6" (or maybe half an inch less) and above 35years, i weight 60kgs and i don't feel good at all. I have restarted fasting (been 2 days only) and i feel lucky to have watched this video. Hopefully this time too, i will lose the weight and keep it off. Thanks for doing this interview.
Also, I ordered one of your books too, Jennifer.😊
Thanks for the interview. So glad she gave the tid-bit about nursing moms not going over 15 hours fasting.
Fasting is in the Bible for religious reasons, but I think it was God's way to keep his people healthy also.
I love the etheral music at the end of your videos and could listen to a loop of it!
Thanks for doing this interview! I'm a faster and have been following Dr. Mindy Pelz for a few years now. Am a part of her Reset Academy and have learned so much from her! This was a great interview.
I just ordered 3 of your books, including pre order of the menopausal book and I CAN'T WAIT to get started!! Feeling really positive!!!❤
Wow! Such a great interview and just what I needed to start fasting. I see I have alot to learn. I'm 68, been treating stage 3 kidney disease for a year and obese. I've just started increasing my fast from 12 hours to 18 hours and Boom! My weight started to move down! 5lb in 7 days. I'll buy her book and learn how to continue to heal through fasting. I pray it will help my creatine and grf numbers improve as well. Thank you for asking the questions that were in my head.
Very informative interview. I am 62 years old and have been intermittent fasting since September 2021. My goal is to lose 30 pounds, but I've only lost approximately 10 pounds, which is frustrating, especially when I seem to be doing everything right. On the other hand, I haven't gained, which was the norm for many years, despite doing calorie counting and exercising. I feel good and my last physical went well. Thank you for this useful information!
I needed this! I just lost 65 lbs in less than one year. I was on the Optiva program. Now I'm struggling with cravings and uncontrollable eating. I feel crappy and need a change. I'm 71 years old so her new book will help me.
Thanks Jennifer for sharing.😮
Thank you Jennifer and Dr. Mindy! So much useful information, I listened with my husband, and we both are going to start fasting tomorrow.
Thank you so much for the nursing mother tip. I have found it’s very difficult to get past 15 hours and now I know there’s a good reason for that.
I learned a lot from this interview and had several questions answered, even after 7 years of keto/IF and tons of research. I liked learning how our sex hormones, thyroid, protein, mood hormones and neurotransmitters, all these things at a cellular level, need addressed. Thanks, Jennifer and Dr. Mindy!
I have been wanting to watch this for so long. I finally got to it so much good information where I am at right now I’m 56 and I’ve been on and off time restricted eating. I’m getting nuggets of info from different places but I feel like Dr. Mindy is going to give me everything I need, I am ordering that book now and have recommended to my cousin who is my age. We constantly talk about the stuff and don’t feel like we’re getting answers.
Thank you so much for breaking down the topics so I could go straight to what I wanted to hear about! Bless you!
This was a fantastic interview! Dr. Mindy helped answer some of my biggest hurdles w/ int. fasting! I am so grateful for her wisdom and excited to get her book!
I intermittent fast using 16/8 method. I just feel so much better and I no longer struggle with weight gain. I have much more energy.
i just went immediately on my lunch break and bought this book!!! Thank you Jennifer for keeping us so informed and I can't wait to read it!
Thank you! I gave up on fasting and have been struggling with extra weight ever since. This has inspired me to try again in alignment with my cycle this time.
I was so excited to hear about this interview … and now it’s here! Yay! Can’t wait for Dr Mindy’s new book! Thank you Jennifer 💜
Two of my faves! I have Dr. Mindy's book. I've been doing IF for years and lost 80 pounds! I started off with OMAD and now I vary my fasts.
Yes! You change your mind because you are educating yourself. I try to keep my mind open and this was the best explanation i have heard. Love your content. It's a beautiful space that doesn't raise my angst. Thank you.
So happy about this interview ❤😊! I read Dr Mindy's book a few months ago and started fasting. It improved my health and hormones so much!
Love your channel, Jennifer! Keep shining and God bless you 🙏🤍
Two fabulous women that I respect immensely. Thank you ladies 🤗 great information xx
I’m post menopausal and appreciate the last question. I have both of Mindys books but on some points concerning being post menopausal I’ve learned more from her videos. Don’t get me wrong so much great info in the books but only seems to lightly touch on us older gals.
I'm new to IF I am also 65. I am thankful for you and your Chat today.
If I'm thinking of more protein but meat is "eh", I go with plant proteins or adding protein powder to my ice cream! So now my small scoop of homemade frozen banana pureé is now 15g of protein! Or to my cuppa coffee or tea with protein powder is another 15g. The other thing about protein is adding a good fat. A good fat (I make olive oil mayo) will make any chicken breast slide down, oh, so much easier! 💕🌞🌵😷
Almost completely in my menopause and what helpes me is a lot of green veggies, more protein in yoghurt or eggs and carbs mostly from fruit. Almost no addit sugars or food from package. Walk a lot and do 14 hours fast. I believe your body is telling you if you eat well or not.
I just bought the book! Thank you to both of you for educating and inspiring us. This gives me much to think about.
Post menopausal checking in. I have her book and learned even more today. Thanks for that excellent question about “Why should I keep fasting?” I’m doing the 5-1-1
Thank you Jennifer for being so transparent that we were able to gain a wealth of knowledge to help us along our journey.
Yes 2 great women together. Awesome!!!❤
Wow! Dr. Mindy, you kept popping up on my algorithm and I kept ignoring then finally watched on of your episodes and you are exactly what I need! So now watching this one with Jennifer and she’s awesome too! Can’t wait until I have time to binge watch every episode and will order your book. I love your background Doc, always filled with books! Thank you both for this wonderful episode and for all that both of you do!
Dr. Mindy rocks. i lost 60 pounds with IT AND NOW VARIATIONS EVEN A ONCE A WEEK 36 hr which so works!! and low carb. i’m 65 and walk, lift and keep goi g with all the good brain (mind) and body info like ur channel and Doc. Mindys’😅❤
The best interview with Dr Mindy Pelz I’ve listened to, so much invaluable information ❤
Since March 2020 I water fast 3 days/week for 24h. And since Sept 2020 I extended the period to about 36h. It was the best decision related to my health I did in my life. 4 times a year I also do a 3 days water fasting. I don’t change my fasting too much. When I did 3 days/24h I didn’t loose weight almost at all. Now seems that I stoped to loose weight anymore. I am kinda stable. I never adjusted my fasting according to my periods. Seems that works for me. I love this interview and dr. Mindy. I wished to understand better why in my case my fasting regime is not bother so much by my monthly hormonal changes.
Thank you Jennifer! Such an educacional and necessary video for those of us who are on IF. 🙏🏼
I'm so glad you interviewed her!! this was great
Amazing interview. I’m trying to intermittent fast and didn’t know there was so much more to it. I have to read her book!
So happy and excited you made Video together- can't wait to see it! 😊
What a great discussion! I just started IF (16:8) two weeks ago. I’ve learned so much from Dr. Mindy through her channel but so much more to learn. I will definitely pick up her book.
Any weight loss
Thank you both for a great interview! I am very much looking forward to her new book on women, menopause, and neurotransmitter levels, as I have sensed this change in myself, and now supplement to correct for it - but I'm really interested in what Dr Mindy will have to say!
This was INCREDIBLE!!
makes so much sense! as a woman in my 59th year I really care about the needs of my feminine body... thanks Jennifer
Thank you for the book..
Just happen to see it in a bookstore and have tried fasting. I love how you also address those who are menopause. Really appreciate your hard work on this.😊
Thank you for posting this interview with Dr. Mindy. I purchased the book a few weeks ago and have listened to it in its entirety. I love having a hard copy too as I reference it frequently. Your questions to Dr. Mindy helped me understand more about the benefits of fasting and how we should tackle it based on our hormones. I start
I started fasting in Nov and have lost 15 lbs. We’re just coming out of the holidays so I’ve got a little more work to do lol!
Wow! Chaulked full of Super Helpful info❣️ Thank you!
I did OMAD for many months in order to loose postpartum weight to get pregnant again. I did check all my nutrients with the dr and all was excellent. BUT my progesterone was too low to stay pregnant so it took a few months longer than with previous kids. I got off keto and OMAD, gained 35# and got pregnant. So now I'm starting my journey all over again but this time I'm struggling to do OMAD, gonna listen closer to my body this time and switch it up! Hugely helpful video! Thank you soooo much!
