I really love when women embrace growing older. For some reason there has been a stigma associated with women aging when actually it is such a beautiful experience. Thank you for helping us to better understand ourselves and the changes that go on in our bodies.

It's a privilege to grow older. And being healthy should be our way of honoring that.

The last few minutes hit the nail on the head of what makes women special. Our desire for honesty and openness and to respond with compassion and understanding. That is what it means to be a woman. ❤

[@traceycandiani3981]

Hi, I just completed my first official 72 hour fast! My body has been a complete mess with hot flashes etc etc because of intense prolonged stress and anxiety! Doesn’t help it’s an intensely hot summer too with no air conditioning in our home! Sleeping isn’t a luxury I have sadly. I am committed to my mind body and sole to learn my body’s needs. I am an avid faster and strangely enjoy it. However I am learning it is a science and I pray I get the results to ‘find myself’ again and feel great. Will keep you posted to any success! I just purchased your books Mindy! So grateful to you for your commitment to woman’s health and for sharing the secrets to feeling our very best. Bless you ox

[@jennjones32]

Love your book! Im 41 and I haven’t felt like myself for months. My docs couldn’t give me any answers just more prescriptions! I came across your interview on the Dhru’s podcast. I started fasting three weeks ago (16/8) and felt a huge difference after day 4! Luckily , a week before my cycle I listened to your book. I’m on day 5 of my cycle, which means 24hr fast on day 6! I started this journey bc of gut issues, constipation, foggy brain, anxiety, insomnia, and intense PMS which i never experienced prior to turning 40. So glad I found you. I was beginning to question everything.

[@DrMindyPelz]

🙌Thank you. COngratulations! Good job taking control of your health.

Oh my, you just described the way I feel from last year to a T . I will have to try and start this fasting to feel like myself again, hopefully 💜

[@sylviacolon1640]

Hello Dr. Mindy. I love to listen to you. I'm trying to weight and I discovered your videos and I decided to listen. I'm learning a lot about the different types of hormones (if I'm correct of saying that). But I have a question (among several); Is it bad for a woman to start going into menopause in her sixties? I'm 63 and I was still having a regular period at 61. I was told at 59 or 60 that I might need surgery because I might get cancer because of still having my period. I didn't believe this. I've been told a lot of things (concerning my health) that were all false over the years. I'm thankful I didn't have unnecessary procedures done. I still wonder though about this. Could you help me to understand this?

[@QueenOfPrinciple]

Did you also lose weight as well?

[@iot577]

Every woman deserves a medal!!🥇🥇

[@iamwonderwoman77]

I birthed 7 kiddos naturally and had a hysterectomy at 46 a year later I was told I had low estrogen and put me in pre menopause. (I have my ovaries still) Im on an estrogen patch and have noticed some relief however instantly I gained 10lbs. I started IF in hopes to lose the extra weight but unsure what time frame I should be on. I’m ordering your book for answers lol. Currently I do 16:8, 18:6, 20:6 I change it up based on my day. Thank you for being here for all of us.

[@KristenNicole222]

Thank you, mindy! I just ordered your book. I'm 41, and hormones are all over. I am looking forward to getting healing. I want to go through my changes gracefully. Thank you for being such a great teacher.

I’m 46 and just started getting irregular periods this year, after having them like clockwork. Also experiencing several other symptoms that I didn’t even know were symptoms of menopause (anxiety, brain fog, sleeplessness). I am anxious to get your book and dive in!

The work you are doing is wonderful for women. Thank you! I’m 47 and just started a new business and having a very hard time with anxiety and emotions. Watching your videos and reading your book is helping me realize I’m not crazy just going through a lot of hormonal changes. I’m trying your monthly fasting schedule, fasting during the power phases and trying to relax and nurture myself more during the nurturing phase. Hoping it helps with my feeling a little crazy lately.

[@DrMindyPelz]

[@christinawoodard3754]

It’s been 7 months since I commented. I just had a period last week after 5 months of nothing. Exercise and diet are really helping me not having any symptoms. I think I’m on the right track with fasting. Your videos are really helping. I love fasting and it’s really helping with weight management. I am on day 10 in my cycle so I will be doing a 36hr fast this week starting after dinner tonight. Wish me luck. Probably will not get another period for a few more months since I’m at the start of perimenopause. I will be starting to do more of an intermittent style from now on with a few more prolonged fasts each week. It’s great. Thank you. Fasting variety is the spice of life

[@melsgil484]

Hi, so glad I found this channel! I am 52, still with regular periods every 29-32 days and I also deal with Hashimoto’s. It so happens that I plunged into IF on the week of progesterone 😅 and I decided to do 16:8. First day, I did amazing and the next 2, I have been extremely hungry by the time I hit 12-14th hour not wanting necessarily keto although I already eat very healthy- now I fully understand why! Thank you for the explanation and for addressing this topic. The stigma of being hormonal is not fair and many women (not just men) need to understand that hormonal fluctuations are a real influence in patterns of our moods, strength, mental heal etc. and we need to stop vilifying it. I love this!

I love the info you provide. I’m 40 soon & I’ve been having sporadic bleeding, (which isn’t uncommon to me having PCOS but I have noticed a difference), uncontrollable blubbering & cravings for random foods. I am very in tune with my body. I am eating intuitively atm.

[@Canuckbelgo]

Thanks again for your valuable information Dr. Mindy. I'm 54 and perimenopsausal. I had my 2nd daughter almost 19 years after my first when I was 45 (alllllll naturally). I'm having trouble with my weight so to try to balance out my hormones and insulin, I feel it's best for me to detox by fasting but I'm no scientist. I just go by what you and Dr. Jason Fung and some other well-respected scientists on here are saying. My own GP is absolutely clueless and admitted that he knows nothing about ANY of this ! I know though that regular doctors don't even learn anything about nutrition - which is VERY shocking when you know that it's the very foundation of human health - that and the mind. I am looking through your videos trying to see if it's beneficial for me to do a water fast for a full 7 days as even on my 3rd day in, I've only "lost" 1kg and it's more than likely just water so I think it's safe to say that my perimenopausal hormones are getting in the way of my weight loss. Inn order to get "unstuck" therefore I wonder if anyone can give me a good idea as to how many days I should continue with the water fasting ? I add a pinch of sea salt and a tablespoon of ACV in the mornings to avoid headaches but I do have a cup or 2 or black coffee for "variety". lol Many thanks for any advice anyone out there might be able to give me ! Warm regards from Belgium.

[@AngiePeladeau]

At 47 now I may spot every 3-4 months or I may have a full "regular" cycle. What a journey. I'm looking forward to mapping this out and fasting accordingly. Thank you.

I am wondering how to follow the fasting cycle if my periods are unpredictable. Sometimes 2 weeks apart and sometimes 40 days out. I caught the part about the longer duration, but not sure about the less than 30 day cycle. Thank you, and greatly appreciate your work!

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hi there, have you read Dr. Mindy's book, Fast Like A Girl? You can do the 30 Day Reset as outlined in Dr Mindy's book, Fast like a Girl. You can either start on your first full bleed day or if you don't know when your cycle begins, use the 'New Moon' as your Day 1 (use search engine to find the day of new moon). Follow the 30-day protocol and when you get to the 30th day, the next day start back at day 1. This may help regulate it. Do this for 3-4 months in a row.

Thank you Dr Mindy, this video was HUGELY helpful for me as I have been struggling with perimenopause in a big way since my mid 40s. I am 51 years old and the symptoms have been really getting me down; hot flushes, brain fog, periods every 3 to 4 months or so, poor sleep, exhaustion, can't think, tearful ... I have found that fasting really helps with these symptoms, especially with sleep, which I have been struggling with for years. This past week I did OMAD and this week I am pushing myself into a 36 hour fast. Thank you for such easy to understand information.

This was the video for me! Thank you so much Dr. M ❤ I hit 40 and everything changed for me. I lost my cycle completely. I never spotted or slowed down. It was like a switch and it just stopped completely! It’s been 6 months and I haven’t had a period. I wonder if it’s not fasting that’s caused this. I can’t tell because I started fasting OMAD at the same time I lost my period, so I don’t know if it’s peri menopause or because I started fasting. Regardless, I love fasting and I can’t imagine stopping now. I also am done having children so I’m not worried about getting pregnant. It’s nice to not have to deal with a period for sure! My periods were always really bad, so there’s that. I just need to order your book because I am seriously confused on how much I need to fast. Everytime I try to fast according to a woman’s schedule I get nauseated and my stomach blows up. It’s only when I fast OMAD that I feel the best. It’s hard to juggle for sure.

I just discovered your channel. This made me even more confused. I'm 55 and have been on BHRT for a year now. I spot on and off NO pattern at all! Blood in my urine and sometimes only on the toilet paper. Twice within the last year I've had a full blown period. Right now, I'm bleeding and about 4 months ago. I'm exhausted and depressed. How in the world can I determine where I'm at and what to eat, how to work out etc etc etc during any given time? It would be a full time job to keep up this way and constantly having to change and would make me even more exhausted, anxious and depressed than what I already am.

[@DrMindyPelz]

Navigating hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) and its effects can indeed be complex and sometimes confusing. Given your symptoms and the irregular spotting, it's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider or a specialist in BHRT to review your therapy and adjust it as necessary. They can offer personalized advice on diet, exercise, and managing symptoms based on your specific health needs and hormonal balance, aiming to improve your quality of life without overwhelming you.

I stumbled onto you when a KZbin video autoplayed after a workout I was doing. Tom Bilyeu on Impact Theory was interviewing you. I've subscribed to your channel and been watching some of your content. I just received your book "Fast Like A Girl" today. Excited to dive into it. I'll be 50 this year and I've been experiencing spotting more than a period since the beginning of the year - maybe the end of last year actually. I didn't have a cycle for just over 2 month. May 2, 2023 was the last time I spotted - didn't actually have a real period but it seems to last forever. I haven't been sleeping well for quite some time so I think I'm in the progesterone phase of my cycle. I was wanting to do a 3 day water fast but I don't think it would be a good idea to start knowing that progesterone phase doesn't like fasting. How long should I wait before moving into the next cycle if I don't start my period?

Hi Dr. Mindy I’ve been watching a lot of your videos just recently I discovered you on KZbin and I’m so grateful I did!! I recently lost my period at 51 when I stopped taking my birth control on September 2023 and I haven’t got it yet. What advise do you have for me since you said we should push menopause until we are 52-55?

[@memtcjp]

I've been binge watching your videos and checking daily on the across-the-board backordered status of the book. After years of problems that you would find hard to believe, I'm finally on the path back to wellness. You've helped me so much, so thank you! The one question I do have that I haven't been able to find in your videos is... I recently started the carnivore diet and don't understand how it can work with your advice on the different phases of my cycle. You have videos on the carnivore diet and seem to be a fan of it, but you say in your perimenopause videos that progesterone needs glucose. From what I understand, when you're on the carnivore diet, go off of it and then back on, it causes a lot of problems. You also say that we need to focus on the microbiome when we need testosterone. I don't want to bounce back and forth from carnivore to a diet filled with glucose and fiber because the carnivore diet seems to need consistency to be successful. SO... a women in perimenopause, awful symptoms, trying to balance hormones and fix my cycle, trying the carnivore diet to help autoimmune and gut issues... can it all work together somehow?

Drink it throughout your day, there is no good time. Drink it whenever you like and make sure to at least you finish the 1 sachet during your fasting window. 🙂

😮 Woooow... This is FANTASTIC! How is this not being talked about more? Curious how insulin resistance comes into this... I've spent the last few years trying to get that fasting rhythm sorted but kept going in circles. Now I finally got that figured out. But now I have stumbled across your channel and there's a whole new idea here. If I'm insulin resistant is this fasting schedule you're recommending the right move? I figured full on keto was my next phase, but you're suggesting in and out of keto? Thanks so much for taking the time to make this so easy to digest ❤

Great video. Got your book, am 49 and was excited (ironically) for my next cycle to start so I could start my first 30 Day Fasting Reset. And wouldn't you know it, my monthlies didn't show up (now many weeks overdue). So it seems from your video that I should just jump straight into Day 1 of the 30 Day Reset now and when/if my monthlies turn up, jump back to Day 1 of the reset again? Is that correct? Just keen to get started and over waiting lol. Thanks again for all the amazing videos and info in your book! ❤

[@Holli_Sassafras]

My frustration comes from never having a regular period. From my first period at age 15, I’ve had wildly heavy periods that could last 3 weeks. By age 19, I never had a break from the bleeding which led to being put on birth control. This controlled the bleeding usually but with occasional breakthrough but then it would come back with a vengeance during the week off the pill. By my 30s I was out on the Nuvoring with no breaks. By 42 I had a hysterectomy (I was able I keep one ovary). I have no idea when my cycle is. The explanation of the phases and how they feel was really helpful.

What do you think about progestron cremes ? Is it something worth trying? Waiting for your book. Ordered both. You are a lifesaver

Hi, great information. just ordered the book. But wondering how to get the recommended protein in if I'm trying to build muscle and doing long fasts.thanks

[@denisea.9033]

Thank you so much, this is great!! 🙏🏽💗 What if you don't have a 28 day cycle, what if it's more like 23 or 24 days? What do you count as days 11-15, 16-19, etc. My app tracking tells me I'm supposedly ovulating on day 10 of my cycle and my fertile window would be on days 6-11 of my cycle. Do I treat those days as what you call days 11-15? Or do I follow your 28 day cycle suggestions in hopes of getting closer to a 28 day cycle (which I would very much like...I'm in perimenopause and they feel like they're coming so frequently)?

[@lisapotter8707]

I hope Dr Mindy replies as I am the same! I have read Fast Like a Girl and didn't find an answer. I decided to take a day off each stage and that way my ovulation day is in the right stage but not sure if that is the right thing to do!

[@marcelladiaz3187]

same boat, typically 24 day cycle and Mindy recommended ordering a dutch test, maybe down the road after I at least attempt some healing through Mindy’s protocol for six months. I know I am ovulating on day 7-8 of my cycle so I am confused on the next phases, I’m thinking I need to ignore the second power phase because there is no way to know when that is other than a burst of energy for a couple days and just take advantage of that energy and try to keep insulin low and then just focus on nurture phase until cycle starts again. ??

[@denisea.9033]

I still hope she or her team answers this cause I can't always read the signs to know if/when I'm ovulating (might get an ovulation kit to see, I can't get the Dutch test while living in Japan). I will say this though, since I wrote my initial message almost a month ago, I tried to follow her protocol as best I could with at least no fasting and taking it as easy as possible that week before my period, and this past month I had a 26 day cycle for the first time in a long time! Also, this time my period was shorter, lighter and my cramps were much milder. I only had about half of one uncomfortable day, but not terrible. I usually have 3 pretty bad days. Frankly I was shocked because we were on vacation and I was already expecting it to be as bad as the other recent months, so when it was suddenly practically gone on day 3, usually one of my two worst days, I couldn't believe it. I have a glimmer of hope now.

[@marcelladiaz3187]

@@denisea.9033 that’s awesome, something is working for sure. We are AF and moving from germany to colorado soon, so maybe once i’m settled with new address I can order tests. I’m definitely the opposite with hormones, a few days before my cycle I will crash, then have a burst of energy right before it starts and then be totally fine once it starts. But for ovulation, I totally crash hard with no energy and body aches, I feel the ovulation cramps and the secretions so I definitely know when it’s happening. I remember dr. berg talking about being estrogen dominant and I am an apple shape so the more I hear Mindy talking about liver health and releasing the extra estrogen, I think that is going to be my focus along with the first and last phases of her cycle and fasting protocol. Fingers crossed.

[@denisea.9033]

[@ashleysiegfried]

This is super helpful to learn our hormones. I’m 44 and haven’t had a period in 5 months and before that it was about every 90-120 days for the past couple years. How do I know if I am perimenopause or if I’m going through menopause?

[@MGSpecial2023]

12 full months without a period is the point of menopause. However if you start hormones after that, your body can 'rewind' a bit and produce a period out of the blue, so be careful...

[@nutmegananne]

You’re still in peri until you’ve been without a period for 12 full months - then you’re in menopause.

[@DrMindyPelz]

Hi there, A Hormonal Panel test will answer this. I suggest that you take the Dutch Test first, know where your hormones are, and get a consultation with my Functional Nutritionist. She will tell and advise you how you can fast and eat for hormone building in this kind of situation. 🙂 Here is the link for DUTCH test information - bit.ly/dutch-test-ytc

[@noraclarke3193]

I have ordered your book and looking forward to reading it ! I definitely feel some symptoms at 47 yrs of age, but I use a hormone coil and don’t know when my cycle is. I have been fasting for the last six months, steady 16 hr fasts, and am ready and motivated to do more nuanced fasting. Otherwise, I struggle with alot of gas in my stomach and wonder how I can help reduce that…

This is so confusing to me LOL . . .I have been in perimenopause for YEARS . .. I keep thinking my last period will be actually that: my LAST period . .. but noooooo . . .are you saying that if you still have eggs that you can make your cycle regular again by following this cycle? I am 53 . . I'll have a regular period for 3 months . .. then it might come a week early . .. then it might come a month or two late . .. sometimes have PMS for 2-3 weeks . .. sometimes they're super crazy heavy, sometimes not. It's so annoying. I guess I'll try to do exactly what this video says the next time I get an official period and see what happens. I love your channel and all of your content, you are awesome!

Good morning Dr Mindy, I love your videos, thank you for sharing so much relevant knowledge for womenhood. This video talks about women not getting periods. I am facing problem of getting heavy period after every 15 days. My progestrone levels are low and hence my period donot hold. Could be kind enough to advice on fasting for me.

[@heleng4444]

So my dilemma… it’s been 32 days since I took out the Nuva Ring. Decided I didn’t want to use BC anymore. I’m 46… I started perimenopause last October… thought I was prego… but no just didn’t have a period. I’ve been fasting since 2/2023. I love it! Then hit a brick wall at 6 months when I gained 2lbs. So I started following your KZbin channel. Now fast forward….I have done 17 Hr, 24 Hr, 36 Hr and 48 Hr and weight loss is back… but no period for over 60 days 😳 I want to keep fasting but afraid I’m hurting my cycle… I stopped fasting for 14 days and NADA 😢 Help

[@priscillaavery43]

I pre-ordered your book! I just turned 50 and my periods have become extremely irregular, sometimes it’s two months sometimes three months. Whenever I start fasting, I’ll start my period! My question is… when fasting is what brings on your menstrual cycle, should you use the hormonal cycle you have just laid out here? Meaning, if I start fasting, and then get my period, should I continue long fast because of estrogen? I really hurt myself last week by doing a long fast with a hard work out. This long fast with a tough work out with some thing that I had listened to as a recommendation in one of your podcasts. It took me two days to recover my energy level… and then sure enough I started my period. I’m pretty sure this has something to do with hormones, and it was a little scary.

[@DrMindyPelz]

Fasting will help balance hormones. I recommend you have a DUTCH test and consultation to learn exactly what YOUR body needs. Thanks for watching! Here is the link for DUTCH test information - bit.ly/dutch-test-ytc The book will help you. You can pre-order Fast Like a Girl here: fastlikeagirl.com!

[@amybodossian6112]

Hi Mindy. Thanks for this. It seems a bit confusing to me - you said we are producing more estrogen from day 1- 10 and long fasts are good at this time, because estrogen weathers this. But then later you say that when you notice you need more estrogen, you fast and do keto more. This 2 points seem contradictory to me? Thank you for your insights 🙏🏽

[@TheAnnegallien]

I'm 47 and started fasting almost a year ago (then added low carb/keto). My chronic headaches/migraines went away and so did my migraines BUT then I started getting complex silent migraines. I know one is coming because I go from not having sugar cravings to having intense cravings for salted chocolate. After watching this I think I fasted too hard during the wrong part of my cycle. Which I kind-of questioned but love fasting so much that I didn't want to stop. Hoping your book can help me tweak this new lifestyle and get rid of the silent migraines too (also get over this weight loss plateau- not my main concern, but definitely a perk)

Hi. I'm 46 years old. Thank you for this video. I came across to fasting through Dr. Jason Fung. I've been fasting in the past few years. At the beginning it was great, my excess weight disappeared and I felt amazing. Then 3 years ago I went back to college. I regained the weight and by the time I finished the 2 years course I crashed. I had no motivation to do things, lost my sex drive and felt literally suicidal. Went to my doctor and she prescribed me HRT patch. In the meantime I got a coil inserted and my periods have completely disappeared. I've done lots of OMAD, 20, 46, 48, 72 and 168 hours fasting. Still the weight is sticking. I'm 5 foot 2 and 185 pounds. 😢😢😢 I'm interested in the cycle you described. I just ordered your book. But it causes me anxiety that because I have no bleeding at all, how will I know that when is my first day...to know when it is okay to fast and when is it okay to give myself a TLC. Would love to hear from you, although I understand that you uploaded this video 8 months ago...but I just found you (so glad I did. You gave me lots if clarity. My inner 'ding' went off as I was listening to one of the podcasts were you were interviewed. Thank you

[@unpardepies]

I ordered your book and love it! Thank you for the book. I'm entering perimenopause. You say on your book that if you are missing periods, you can start over again the 30 days fasting reset on the 30th day. My question is if after that I get my period for example five days later, would you start over again the 30 days fasting syncronizing it with my period?

[@DrMindyPelz]

Yes, start over on the day you bleed. 🙂

[@unpardepies]

@@DrMindyPelz thank you

[@marlizettebadenhorst3631]

Love your videos as always - so incredibly informative and helpful! My question is - when you stop fasting and keto from day 20 until your period, will you still be able to lose weight during this time? It feels like during this time I'm having a setback in terms of weight loss ...

[@DrMindyPelz]

Yes, we understand. But the goal is to be metabolically flexible. When we are hormone-building many times we gain weight until the progesterone or estrogen is built up to help our bodies function well. When we are hormone-building we are out of the Fat Burning system. When we go back into the Fat Burning system we can lose weight. Going in and out of the two systems helps us lose weight. It's called being metabolically flexible. 🙂
