Dr. Mindy PelzFast Like a Girl: A Woman’s Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones

I have been familiar with Dr Mindy Pelz work for a few years now, after stumbling across her interview with Dave Asprey - I have never looked back.My journey was to use fasting for health and weight and to understand my Perimenopause issues and Dr Mindy's advice has healed me, reversing those night sweats, broken sleep and mood swings etc. that kicked in not long after turning 40.Dr Mindy is an advocate for people's health and has a plethora of geeky science, hacks, tips and tricks to help people, especially women to be empowered with their health and hormones. (check out YouTube).This book is a true Bible to help any woman, regardless of age, cycle or post menopause, to take back control of our health. I have learnt more from Dr Mindy, about how to look after my hormones than I have through school. This book needs to be in taught in schools to better educate our young girls.The book breaks down the science of our bodies and hormones and what each one does and how to look after them. It's explained why we struggle at certain times of the month and the healing powers of fasting and feasting and key foods for which hormones, gut health, muscles etc. Is bestEach area of womans health is shined upon within the pages of this book.There is a 30 reset plan and in appendix C, these 30 days are adjusted to help specific conditions ie infertility, thyroid, autoimmune conditions etc. Which I love, as every consideration has been lovingly mapped out easy.I love the food recommendation for helping the healing process, from ketobiotic days, hormone feasting days and gut reset days etc. To name a few. No stone has been left unturned. There is also recipes to get you started.This is a powerful book and a must for ever female looking for health, healing or to just better understand her hormones.I have read Dr Mindy's book the menopause reset, which helped me through my crushing symptoms of Perimenopause, that I didn't understand and not getting much help from my GP, with bloods coming back fine and an offer to medicate or going the natural way.The tools in Fast Like A Girl, will see me through my life, and adopting this as a lifestyle. I have witnessed first hand how fasting has healed both me and my husband.I was pleased to see that there is an app for Fast Like A Girl, though this is for iPhones. I hope that there will be one for android coming out very soon.Thank you Dr Mindy Pelz, from the bottom of my heart to yours, I am so grateful to you.

amazing book and very insightful learning into the menstrual cycle that should be taught at school. !! love this book !

Insightful book with actionable tips on fasting, as well as the explanation behind the different approaches and timing of different diets and fast lengths. Been (loosely) following the advice in this book for about 3-4 months, with noticeable differences in weight and energy levels. Love it

One star less for no Android app. Please create an app for Android users.A wonderfully laid out book with plenty of science based practice. Will start the 30-day fasting reset. Thank you.

Great bookGood read

I cannot recommend this enough. I love how she explains the science and what happens each week of our cycle, and how food can support this. I've been listening to her podcast with Dr Willaim Li and it is life changing. Everything I thought I knew about dieting is wrong, and now I can see how to tailor not just food but also fitness to my body's needs.I have ongoing gyne issues that I am hoping to deal with naturally, can't comment yet as it's too soon but this book has given me such an insight and helped me get on the right track.

I have no words to express my heart felt gratitude for this book. I have purchased both the Kindle version and the Hardcover Book.. Yes the book is more written information and not too visual with pictures but each sentence is vitally important to understand so that you get educated on how amazing the human body is in self healing itself.I have been battling with my weight for all of my life. I am now 53 years of age and finally feel like I have started to gain control of my life and have more energy than when i was 20 years old. I have lost 8 pounds in a week by applying Dr Mindy's strategies and cannot wait to fit into clothes I never imagined I would ever wear again.The good thing is you can eat and enjoy foods on family get togethers and social events. The next day you go back to base to keep your health and healing on track.Please please don't overlook this book if you want to save yourself from future health problems. As it states in the book preventative measures are much easier to accomplish than becoming ill and then trying to revert as is harder although can still be very much be accomplished.I have started my journey and hopefully will have my daughter on board to also follow the protocol set out in book.This book is a gift for our loved ones , daughters and grand daughters for optimal health.PS if its hard to read the content in book, buying the ebook and reading on the kindle app where you can customise size of font and background colour its more easy to absorb info in smaller chunks of reading whilst taking notes as your hands free.ThankyouGood luck
