  • 62: Fasting for Women: How to Align Metabolic Health with Hormonal Rhythms with Dr. Mindy Pelz

    62: Fasting for Women: How to Align Metabolic Health with Hormonal Rhythms with Dr. Mindy Pelz
    Oct 21 2026
    Fasting is not a one-size-fits-all tool—especially for women. In this episode of Take Back Your Health®, Dr. Amy Myers sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to explore fasting, metabolic health, blood sugar, ketosis, autophagy, menopause, trauma, and the importance of working with female biology instead of against it. Dr. Mindy explains why fasting may need to look different during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopause. She also shares how trauma, strength training, protein, nervous-system regulation, and community fit into the bigger picture. They also discuss practical questions: how long to fast, when longer fasts may be useful, whether coffee affects a fast, how to exercise while fasting, and how to protect muscle during a refeed. This is an educational conversation about Dr. Mindy’s perspective and experience—not individualized medical advice. What You’ll Learn Why women may need different fasting rhythms than men How perimenopause and postmenopause can change the fasting conversation What Dr. Mindy means by metabolic flexibility, ketosis, autophagy, and hormetic stress Why gradual fasting may matter for highly stressed or depleted women How strength training, protein, and refeeding support muscle The five principles behind “Live Like a Girl” About Dr. Mindy Pelz Dr. Mindy Pelz is a 2x New York Times bestselling author and a leading voice in women’s health, hormones, and aging.

    Oct 14 2026
    What if a diagnosis changes your entire future before you have time to process what is happening? In this episode of Take Back Your Health®, Dr. Amy Myers sits down with Jordan Rubin to discuss severe Crohn’s colitis, a later metastatic testicular cancer diagnosis, faith, nutrition, emotional healing, and hope. Jordan shares how he lost a dramatic amount of weight as a teenager, tried countless approaches, and eventually found a real-food and faith-centered path that he says helped him recover. Years later, he describes a focused 40-day period that included nutrition, sunlight, sauna use, body therapies, prayer, emotional healing, and objective testing after a frightening cancer prognosis. This episode explores Jordan’s personal perspective—not a universal treatment plan—and the importance of hope, second opinions, supportive relationships, and qualified professional guidance.
