These last two weeks on the Better! Podcast I take you on a deep dive into fasting for women.
Last week we went over some basic differences between men & women and the leading cause of death for both sexes, Cardiovascular Disease.
Then we go over the benefits of fasting, insulin resistance and what it is like to approach fasting as a female rather than a male.
We discuss the different types of fasting, Caloric or non-caloric and briefly touch on the double P…the period poops.
Ladies, you know what we are talking about.
We continue the episode by discussing the impact fasting has on your period, and what this means at certain stages of your life.
In this clip I explain that we can't fast as aggressively as our male counterparts can - with the exception of women who are menopausal years.
Why you may ask? The answer is simply, menopausal women don't need to optimize any more for a fertile cycle.
Without a luteal phase, there is no need to break your fast for 2 weeks, which means we can fast as aggressively as our male counterparts
In this week's episode is part 2: Fasting for Women with PCOS, Estrogen Dominance & Thyroid Symptoms.
