Dr. Mindy Pelz

And now let’s jump into episode 1928 of The School of Greatness!

Some Questions I Ask:

• How do we look and feel younger, burn fat, and have the best sex of our lives through fasting?
• Is it better to fast in the morning or at night, and have you seen the data on skipping breakfast versus skipping dinner?
• When I go a long time without eating I feel really hungry and sluggish. When does that unlimited feeling actually happen?
• What would you say are the differences between how men should think about burning fat versus how women should think about it?
• Do you think if a woman subconsciously knows she is in a relationship with the wrong person, her cycle will be off or she won’t get pregnant because of the way she thinks?
• What is in that pill, and what is it doing to your gut microbiome and your brain?
• Why is birth control such a normal thing if it is so bad for women’s bodies?
• What do you think is the hardest thing about getting our hormones in alignment and healthier?
• What is holding us back the most? Is it a lack of discipline, a lack of motivation, our environment, or the habits passed down from our families?

In this episode, you will learn:

• Learn the fasting cycle for women, Dr. Mindy’s day-by-day framework that syncs your fasting window, workout intensity, and food choices to your menstrual cycle
• Uncover why your menstrual cycle is a monthly detox rather than a burden, and what an irregular or absent cycle is actually telling you about your body
• Discover why timing your eating matters more than what you eat, and how the ketogenic energy system unlocks fat burning, mental clarity, and steady energy
• Understand the hormonal hierarchy, how oxytocin, cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones stack on each other, and why female community and connection function as biological medicine
• Find out what long-term birth control does to the gut microbiome and the brain-ovary connection, and why so many women struggle with hormonal imbalances after coming off the pill
• Plus much more…
