    Let’s Talk About…Fast Like A Girl

    According to Fast Like a Girl, women have been fasting all wrong. Written by chiropractor and wellness influencer Dr. Mindy Pelz, this bestselling book promises to teach women how to fast in a way that “works with” their hormones—by syncing fasting windows, carbs, and even specific foods to different phases of the menstrual cycle. There’s “ketobiotic” eating, “hormone feasting,” six different types of fasts, and, for the particularly ambitious, a 72-hour fast that Pelz claims can help reboot your immune system. It’s an impressively detailed roadmap. There’s just one question: does the science actually support it? So join us, two registered dietitians, as we venture into the complicated world of fasting and female hormones to find out whether your menstrual cycle really needs its own fasting schedule.
