Have you heard bad things about intermittent fasting for women? Do you want to try it but worry it will mess up your hormones?

As an MD and long-term IF practitioner, I can tell you that intermittent fasting CAN be incredibly beneficial for women as well as men.

But…

Due to fluctuating hormones, we ladies do have to take a more mindful and flexible approach to fasting.

In this episode, I'm explaining how to do just that.

You'll learn:

  • The top benefits of IF for women
  • How hormone fluctuations can alter your fasting experience 
  • How to adjust your IF method during the different phases of your menstrual cycle

Intermittent fasting isn't dangerous or complicated when you understand the basics around women's hormones.
