I always enjoy Dr. Mindy‘s content, but I have a question that’s never answered. I have worn a CGM and it routinely shows higher blood sugar levels throughout my fasting Window and as soon as I eat, my glucose levels drop. Why is this? I know that I am insulin resistant and prediabetic. I eat healthy and follow all the macro nutrient rules set out by Dr. Mindy. What can I do to lower my fasting glucose levels, which don’t have anything to do with the early morning cortisol spike?

I love Mindy and her show is top notch!

I just love that Mindy makes a priority to reach all ages of women!! I am post menopausal and have learned so much! I have read all three of her recent girl books and I recommend them to everyone! Thanks Mindy!! You’re reaching us one episode at a time!

Simply the best helping and empowering women getting their health back in a simple way (fasting). I love Dr Mindy and I’m spreading the word between my loved ones, friend and community. Thank you so much for educating.

Thank you so much for all. I’m turning 78 tomorrow the 7th of January n have heard of fasting a long time ago. Didn’t listen but now-I Am! I just started about 3 weeks n bought your book-‘Fast like a Girl! Love it. It’s hard for me up see as I have MD but glasses help and I’m praying Fasting will at least keep me Sering. We have wonderful bodies we just need to learn how it Functions n how to make it work, correctly! Thank You for your care-your positive influence n Help! Lacreta Zyla.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create a space where women can learn in depth about our bodies! I feel so much more confident in my body when I listen to you! I appreciate you friend!

I agree that walking had been so underrated. I disagree regarding rucking, however. As a lifetime runner, I learned how every extra lb of body weight added so many more lbs of pressure on my feet and joints. In my opinion, we just can’t seem to accept that even a casual walk can do so much good for us, and our runner/athlete mentality always looks for ways to make it harder. Just enjoy the walk and be gentler on your joints.

I am learning so much from listening to this podcast and reading books by Mindy Pelz. I appreciate the insights to menopause and the benefits of fasting. Thank you for your work and for sharing the knowledge!!!

Question: it was mentioned that you use stem cell injection procedures to improve one’s looks and I wonder where do these stem cells come from? You didn’t say and I hope that they are sourced ethically.

I absolutely love love love this!!! Dr Mindy Pelz have helped me sooooo much just learn about my body! And even though what you put in you body is so important it’s more or less when you eat it! You have opens my mind to to much! I have you book & have ordered eat like a girl as well so I can’t wait for those recipes! But the recipes in the back of “fast like a girl” are pretty awesome too! I’ve recommended you and your teachings to many of my family and friends!! So thank you! If I can’t catch your YouTube videos I listen to you on podcasts!! So thank you for everything you continue to teach us!! Much love from Chicago!!

Dr Mindy Pell is amazing. She has taught me about Intermittent Fasting and how to stop counting calories and manage blood sugar levels. She has me thinking more about how to eat a healthy diet lifestyle. Thank you Dr Mindy!

Dr Mindy is so helpful. I only regret not being able to listen in front of my children because she drops the F-bomb throughout shows.

I’ve been (1) interested in wellness and taking great care of my body for pretty much my whole life and (2) a long time podcast listener and so imagine my delight at finding this show!!! I was initially reluctant to listen as I thought it would be all about fasting (which apparently, I had messed up ideas about so thx for straightening me out Dr Pelz!) and yet, this show is about so much more than that!! I’m so deeply grateful- as a woman, as a woman who leads and supports women in the mental health coaching area and as a podcaster myself. A massive HOORAY!!! Thanks 🙏🏽 Susie Pettit

I have been listening to podcast for years, but did not know how to make a review. Because I love this podcast so much I actually went to learn how to rate and review. Dr. Mindy‘s podcast is so informative and uplifting for women of all ages and where they are in their health cycle, whether they are omnivores or strictly plant-based eaters. I can’t say enough wonderful things about all of the podcast of hers that I have listened tosince I just discovered her recently. I’ve already shared some of her podcasts with friends and family, and encourage them to listen and learn. Thank you, Dr. Mindy!

Seed cycling episode: In my case, perimenopause is relevant, but I have a teenage daughter (and younger daughters who will start their menstrual cycle in a few years). What a terrific time to learn through this multi-generational conversation. Bear with me as I express how warmly I was privileged to FEEL as I attended “class.” It was like I got invited to tea at the neighbor’s kitchen table and some reliable older sibling was watching all the kids (so they were safe and playing while we had another awesome “reset” together). I had already been incorporating freshly ground flax meal as a source of Omega 3 and fiber. Listening to the episode gave me specific and easily applicable advice. It supports my continuance with that practice (of using flax), making it that much more intellectually satisfying to do so. Also, I have the option of purchasing a product carefully sourced for the issues relevant to me and our daughter. Dr. Pelz’ podcast and books are worth the investment of time and cost, when applicable. Why not bank on creating cognitive dissonance with whatever drives your bad habits by learning what you can from trustworthy sources? Don’t assume life is all about your body and physical health, but don’t neglect the chance to be a steward of them either!

Thank you Dr Mindy for speaking truth in a world where wrong is right and good is bad. You were the one who opened my eyes about my feminine hormones and how God has created this amazing body that can heal. Keep it up, please!!!

I love this podcast, and today’s show with Dr Li was the absolute best!! So intelligent yet relatable!! Nothing to purchase as he has a gazillion youtubes, but I may buy his books, anyway!! After having cancer 13 years ago, his research is wonderful!! I can eat soy, again!!

6 months following Dr Mindy Pelz and listening to all of her podcasts reading her books I feel great. Thank you for all your wisdom and sharing your knowledge with us. Grateful

Thank you for wisdom, great interviews, and helpful information! Good heavens, I have been looking for a podcast like this!

Fascinating information about seating wish I would’ve known about it. 30 years ago. Wow, just found this author from a friend so excited for the younger generation to learn so much more than we knew in the past!! Excited to listen to all the other interviews! As a healthcare professional, this is exciting to see natural ways to heal the body.

Wow!! I literally get goosebumps when I listen to Dr Mindy and the many guest. The seed cycling episode was another great episode emphasizing the power of food. I completed Dr Mindy’s FLAG certification program and am having so much fun sharing what I’ve learned and helping others. It’s about awareness, it fuels informed choices. Women are amazing!! ❤️

In a society that is interested in a quick fix with synthetic hazardous approaches that poison instead of cure, Dr. Mindy explains the whys behind her ideology with scientific evidence that proves only you can control your own health. Whether in her podcast or her book, she gives you all the information so you can decide what’s best for you by giving you all the information without making you feel you uneducated. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious! Love Dr. Mindy!

We live in the Washington D.C. metro area, we have tried to find doctors like Dr. Mindy in the area with no luck at all. So, we read, listen to her podcasts and of course follow a Ketogenic diet and fast. Our numbers have improved significantly, however my husband still has an autoimmune condition the regular doctors cannot figure out. It is exasperating! If only we could find great doctors like Dr. Mindy and Dr. Yoshi Rahm in this area.

Hi, discovered you through Lindsey Elmore who led me to another lady who led me to you. I can’t remember the rabbit hole. But it was a wonderful wonderful trail that I followed and listened to five or six of your podcasts. Now I’m a follower of you.! I love all the things that you talk about. But I would be very interested in knowing your protocol for fasting. And what is it that you do with breath work I know you had a podcast by the lady, but what is work really didn’t get into that in the podcast I didn’t feel like enough. Thank you for sharing.!!!

I was beginning to feel lost in my healing journey I couldn’t fight my food addiction and wondered what was wrong with me why couldn’t I stick to healthy eating! Finding this podcast has given me so many answers! I bought the book and completed my first fast last month!! The confidence and clarity I’ve gotten is life changing! Thank you Mindy and all her incredible guests!

Simple yet powerful! This episode breaks down how exactly women can preserve muscle mass as they age. The insights for anyone seeking to maintain muscle through the aging journey is quick and easy guide. Highly recommend!

Absolutely can relate. Thank you for your authenticity & integrity!!!

Love this so much. Please tell me where to go for how to honor aging hormones. Menopause help needed!!!

Mindy! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! So grateful for your wisdom and curious playful spirit! Your genuine heart to help heal our world is truly beautiful! This is BY FAR my favorite pod cast I have ever listened to. So diverse, so content rich, WITH application! I can not get enough! Thank you Mindy! 💜💜💜

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and having such informative guests on your podcast. You are a wealth of information. I am left with one thing that I am not sure has been covered. Is it possible to not need any hormones when we reach menopause? I have been experimenting with fasting for three years now and I take no medication and don’t feel like my hormones are off yet (I am early 50’s). Is it possible to not need meds? I feel like every podcasts talks about getting hormones right and I keep feeling like I should find something wrong with my blood work to fix, but what if nothing appears broken!?

Now that I’m 42, I am beginning to take back control of my health and is just starting to eat healthy, following F.L.A.G. protocol in accordance to my hormones, & letting go of my sugar addiction, literally recently, right after the Superbowl LVIII Party. Listening to this, nah, I’m not going to do any of that FOOD CLOTHING STUFF, too risky for me. I’m enjoying Dr. Mindy’s protocol for hormone feasting instead. I still want my autophagy, & break my fast with the right amount of carb, fat & protein as shown in FLAG book. Hush, I listened to Dr. Gundry too, but I just got confused. In fact, I don’t know what to eat anymore, if I follow his teaching. I mean I live in a small town, with only Safeway as a go to place and Walmart is quite some distance from where I live. I AM CONFIDENT IN DR. MINDY’s TEACHING. I am currently enjoying hormone feasting food from Dr. Mindy’s book being in my 11th-15th day of cycle. Finished reading her book on Feb 10th, Superbowl Week and now following the book like a Bible or Encyclopedia.

She might have some wisdom, in fact both of you have useful wisdom ,but I didn’t appreciate using the F word when it wasn’t necessary at all. It’s actually not professional at all in case you both dont know it! So please be considerate and don’t use foul language . Thank you!

This was a very thought provoking and energizing episode. I really wanted to listen to it and absorb the information that Dr Mindy lovingly presented so I had to listen to it over 3 days. I’m glad I did and look forward to revisiting it again this week. It really resonated with me to “disappoint” someone (I’m totally paraphrasing this incorrectly-please listen to the episode) and to put myself as a priority. Wow. Thank you so much Dr Pelz. I’m 64 and have been energized by your presence since October. Although I was somewhat fit and very active I felt stuck in that I wanted to feel physically better. I don’t like to focus on weight as the be all and end all BUT on my weekly visit to my scale this morning I have lost 10 pounds since October and my fat% has decreased from +30% to -26%. My muscle has kept the same right around 80 pounds. What the fasting lifestyle has done for me is reset my hunger hormone. Before-I was hungry all morning long and working out (running or cycling) only made it worse. Now I workout (another word that I’m not a big fan of) right around the 12 hour point of my daily fast. This has been a game changer. I’m no longer hounded by that stupidity hunger. These words are only the tip of the lifestyle iceberg! Thank you so much Dr Pelz for introducing and guiding me on this new road!

I’ve tried intermittent fasting several times before and either stopped because of blood sugar drops or too low of BMI. With Dr Mindy’s easy to follow book, I finally have made it through a complete cycle. Looking forward to seeing what this journey brings for myself and my clients.

This presentation was very informative. I learned a lot about light and the role of the skin as we age. Very helpful. Thank you!!

Dr Mindy Pelz is such an amazing gift to women’s health!! I can’t get enough of her! Thank you so much for being such a great resource for women

Dr. Mindy is teaching me so much about menopause and taking control of my health. Thank you for choosing to share all that you have learned with the rest of us.

Love Mindy and hope she is learning to enjoy her success. Take a vacation and try to forget the rest of the world for a while. Life is too short to worry about everyone else and put your happiness in front of everything else. Thanks for saving my life physically now I am learning how to heal my emotions from my childhood and make smarter decisions. When our grown children don’t need our support it only shows how successful we have raised them to deal with their own problems. We should be proud of that because we won’t be here forever.

The casts are the average so as Dr Mindy says it’s on you for your health. I am 60 and just stopped menstruating with zero symptoms, but that might be because I started the “fast like a girl” lifestyle. 30 pounds lighter and loving life! Keep up the great work.

I learned about you and your podcast when you were on Melissa Made’s podcast and got hooked! Learning so much and enjoy your guests and your expert knowledge. Keep it up!! Love love!

I absolutely love your podcast and your books! There is one thing I have never hear you talk about tho, cycle syncing. How does it work and can it make you have a late or early period? Your amazing and I love following your fasting guides, they have helped me a ton ♥️

I just love listening to you interview someone. The thoughtful and thought provoking questions. Really interesting and I definitely can relate to this episode. Both of you are so easy to listen to and excited to be speaking to each other and the audience. Thank you!

Dr. Mindy brings so much great information especially for us women! I am constantly sharing this podcast with people I meet and women in my life. (I am a personal trainer and group fitness instructor so have health Conversations frequently.) I did go get a blood test done because I am 40 and was curious where my levels are. I honestly thought I was in perimenopause due to all The symptoms I have, but all my levels were fine! Although, my testosterone was 20 and I am curious what a healthy range is. I am working with a hormone clinic and the nurse said that was really low (especially with how active I am ) and probably causing my symptoms. I’m now taking testosterone orally, but I am super curious if that’s the best option. I would love more information on TRT options, and I know that fasting is one of them.

Love it

Since I have found Dr. Pelz and her podcast, I cannot stop listening. Her work is truly amazing and her spirit and personality are so captivating. These podcasts have been packed with so much education and knowledge for someone like me who is breaking into the science/nutrition world. Thank you for all of your beautiful work and dedication to this field, Dr. Pelz!!!!

Dr Mindy has such a way with explaining the science with humor, grace, passion and expertise. I just eat up each and every episode!

Two years ago, tired of feeling horrible with gut issues, I decided to take matters into my own hands and heal myself (since I couldn’t find much support with my regular Doctors). I started listening to many health podcasts, and came across your interview at the genius podcast. I was instantly hooked! I bough your book and dove head first into fasting, which has completely changed my life for the best! I love listening to you and all the guests on your podcast, but nobody has touched my heart as much as Zach Bush. I grew up in a small town in Brazil of a farmer family. And I witness my grandparents struggling to keep their holistic farming practices, due to the “modernization” and use of round ups. I, then, did not understand the implications of the use of pesticides, but my grandfather used to tell me that it was a way of “killing man”. In retrospect, he was right. Zach has ignite a fire within me to want to be part of a change. I am thankful for his work, and may he keep showing up to the world with such genuine passion. Cíntia Marques

I am a bit late discovering this wonderful doctor! She is so inspirational!! Provides us with such great info with great guests! Great podcast to listen to on my walks! I AM A FAN!!!

As a nursing student in my 20s this podcast really inspires me to take women’s health so seriously. In a field where we are known to take care of others but not ourselves, I’m continually inspired to practically work on my habitual health so that I can be an educator to my patients.

I do enjoy this podcast, however there are so many commercials, which I find rather obnoxious.
