062. How Women Should Fast & Thrive In Menopause - Dr Mindy Pelz

Monster episode with Dr Mindy Pelz, a renowned holistic health and fasting expert who is on a mission to get a million people fasting! Dr Mindy has an extremely popular Youtube channel on fasting and alternative health tips have garnered over 15 million lifetime views. She also has her own podcast, "The Resetter Podcast”  ranked one of Apple’s top 40 category of U.S. science podcasts.  She is the author of three bestselling books The Menopause Reset, The Reset Factor, and The Reset Kitchen. Her platforms host a monthly “Fast Training Week,” that brings together half a million people to practice fasting as a community. 

Teaching her signature “5-Step Approach,” from her book, The Menopause Reset, Dr. Mindy has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to harness their body’s own healing abilities through fasting, diet variation, detoxing chemicals from the body, stress management, and lifestyle changes as keys to achieving optimum health and slowing down the aging process. She is also the founder of The Reset Academy, a private membership group where she teaches women how to sync a fasting lifestyle with their hormones.

Dr Mindy is the first person I've ever heard lay out the system for women and how to fast effectively based on their hormonal cycles. Dr Mindy lays out the roadmap how women can fast like men and get all the benefits from fasting: anti-aging, longevity, weight loss, and detox. She also reversed the detrimental effects that some women experience during menopause thru fasting and a proper detox protocol. This is a must for all women and men too, so you know how to treat your ladies during menopause :)

I've just opened up my 8 week weight loss coaching program for men and women who are dedicated and motivated and want to take action and get to the root cause of their issues. If you're interested, DM me @joelevancoaching or email me [email protected]
