Episode 34: Keto & Fasting Modifications for Women to Improve Hormone Balance & Menopause with Dr. Mindy Pelz, DC Jun 01, 2020

Show notes

Today's episode is brought to you by Everlywell. Everlywell is a home lab-testing company that I have used and LOVE. I got a food sensitivity test from them and my wife did a Thyroid panel from them. You simply prick your finger, follow the instructions of where to put the drops of blood, mail it back and you have your results in no time! By learning I was sensitive to eggs from the food test, I was able to lose a bunch of weight effortlessly and also lower my inflammation and improve my digestion. Use the link to get 15% off of your order!
I'm so excited and honored to introduce today's guest Dr. Mindy Pelz, DC! Dr. Mindy is crazy passionate about helping families stay healthy. For the past 23 years, she has been in the health trenches with busy, overscheduled families. She has built one of the largest holistic health clinics in Silicon Valley with patients coming to her from all over the world for her customized ketobiotic, fasting, detox, and nutritional programs. Her focus is to give families simple and effective health tools that have all members of the family thriving.

Her bestselling book, The Reset Factor, was released in 2015, giving people access to a clear step-by-step path to creating a healthy, vibrant, energy-filled life free from disease and suffering. The launch of her book ignited a “Resetter tribe,” an online group of like-minded people all supporting each other, exchanging health ideas, and cheering each other on to better health. Once a month Dr. Mindy leads her Resetter tribe through a free Fast Training Week, where all community members practice different styles of fasting together.

Raising two active teens of her own, Dr. Mindy knows what it is like to balance a healthy keto lifestyle with a demanding private practice, and a busy family schedule. As a perimenopausal woman, she also has found that women in their 40’s and 50’s need to incorporate the ketogenic diet differently to ensure proper hormonal balance. Her new book on Keto, Fasting, and Women called The Menopause Reset is out now!
In this episode, Dr. Mindy and I talk about:

Dr. Mindy's menopause story
When your doctor doesn't have the answer
Why we need to stop waiting for a hero (or pill) to save us (hint: you are your own hero, healer, and doctor!)
Hormonal changes that take place during menopause
Rushing Woman Syndrome (click here to by the book)
How low adrenal function can really crash your sex hormones
The Hormonal Hierarchy by Dr. Ana Cabeca
Oxytocin - the hormone you REALLY want to boost
A new perspective on reducing stress
Keto & Fasting considerations for women, especially as they age and go into their 40s
...and soooo much more!!
