Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author and leading voice in women’s health who has spent decades studying how hormones impact training, metabolism, and longevity. She explains why most workout advice is built around male biology — and why that approach often leads to injury, burnout, and stalled results for women. From the menstrual cycle to pregnancy and menopause, Dr. Pelz breaks down how women should actually train to support hormones, strength, and long-term health. She explains: Why women shouldn’t train the same way men do How female hormones change strength, cardio, and recovery When women should push harder — and when rest matters more Why overtraining backfires for women as they age How to think about fitness through a longevity-first lens This conversation reframes fitness for women at every stage of life — and offers a smarter, more sustainable way to train.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fasting gets talked about a lot… but most people still don't understand why it works or how to do it in a way that actually feels sustainable (especially if you're a woman navigating stress, hormones, and a busy life). In this episode of the ReThink Health Paleo Podcast, I'm joined by fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz, who breaks down the science in a way that's clear, empowering, and surprisingly doable. We talk about why your body has two fuel systems, how fasting helps you switch between them, and what starts to happen in the body at key milestones like 13–15 hours, 17 hours, 24 hours, and beyond. You'll also learn why fasting can feel amazing for some people, terrible for others, and how to train your body to fast safely instead of forcing it. Most importantly, Dr. Mindy shares practical ways to get started, plus how women can fast in a way that sustainably supports their hormones. You'll learn: Where the fasting sweet spot window is for autophagy, your body's cellular "cleanup mode" The incredible benefits of fasting for up to 24 hours  Why some people experience a "fasting high"  Why women may need to fast differently depending on where they are in their cycle How to start if you "can't fast" (and why you may have experienced issues in the past) Simple strategies to ride out hunger waves without white-knuckling Other easy ways to support autophagy beyond fasting If you've ever wondered whether fasting is actually safe, effective, or "for you," this episode will help you understand the science and find a rhythm that supports your energy, metabolism, brain, and hormones.

Many women hit midlife and feel something they cannot name. They are still doing the right things, eating well, exercising consistently, showing up for everyone, yet life suddenly feels harder and less familiar. Age Like a Girl gives language to this experience and explains why it is not a failure, but a shift happening beneath the surface.This is not a motivation problem.This is not a discipline issue.And it is not “all in your head."In this hol+ conversation, Dr. Taz sits down with New York Times bestselling author and leading voice in women's health Dr. Mindy Pelz, host of the hit podcast The Resetter Podcast, to explore the core message behind Age Like a Girl: menopause is not a decline, it is a biologically wired reinvention.Instead of treating perimenopause and menopause as a crisis to manage, Dr. Mindy reframes the transition as a neurochemical and cognitive remodel designed to make women more focused, emotionally resilient, and aligned with who they truly are. She breaks down why modern life often clashes with this primal design, and why brain fog, mood shifts, and emotional intensity are not random symptoms, but signals that the brain is asking for a new way of living.This episode explores why women can feel anxious, disconnected, or unlike themselves even when they are “doing everything right,” and how metabolism, stress chemistry, and neurotransmitters shape mood, clarity, and identity. Dr. Taz and Dr. Mindy discuss why many women initiate big life and relationship changes after 40, why community and connection become essential, and why reinvention is not a midlife crisis, but biology.From perimenopause into postmenopause, this conversation reframes aging as an awakening. Not the end of youth, but the return of clarity, boundaries, and self-trust. If you have ever felt dismissed, confused, or afraid that something is wrong with you, this episode offers a validating and hopeful roadmap forward.Dr. Taz and Dr. Mindy Pelz discuss: • The core message of Age Like a Girl and why it reframes menopause • Why the female brain is biologically wired for reinvention after 40 • Brain fog and mood shifts as signals of a cognitive remodel • How modern life clashes with primal biology • Why women often make major life decisions in midlife • The role of neurotransmitters in clarity, calm, and confidence • Why community and deep connection matter more than ever • How to reclaim vitality without another exhausting checklistAbout Dr. Mindy PelzDr. Mindy Pelz is a New York Times bestselling author, visionary educator, and trailblazer in the field of women's health and hormone science.

If you've been trying to lose weight and feel stuck, this episode will reframe everything you've been taught. In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz explains why weight loss is not a calorie problem, it's a hormonal one. She breaks down how insulin and cortisol control fat storage, why vitamin D acts like a hormone in the body, and how one simple morning habit can help reset your circadian rhythm and support stubborn fat loss. Dr. Mindy introduces the idea of a weight loss toolbox, reminding you that no single strategy works for everyone. She also answers listener questions about weight loss plateaus, fasting challenges, cravings, and building muscle while fasting. This episode is about learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it and why small, consistent habits can create powerful change.

It's a controversial topic, fasting, especially for women. Dr. Mindy Pelz was teaching women to fast primarily because they wanted to lose weight, but what she was witnessing was women saying things like, "I lost weight, but my hair's falling out. I don't have a period anymore. I sat down with Dr. Mindy Pelz, New York Times bestselling author of Age Like a Girl, hormone expert, and the voice redefining fasting for women - because doing it wrong can wreck your health. We explore why fasting affects women differently, how ketones can restore brain function during menopause, and why understanding your hormonal cycle is critical for metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity.

If your body feels tired, foggy or unfamiliar, this conversation might change how you see yourself. January can feel like a strange in-between. The world is telling us to reset, optimise, and transform. But our bodies are often saying something much quieter: I'm tired. I need care. I need kindness. In this episode, Zoe sits down with Dr Mindy Pelz for a conversation that feels less like “health advice” and more like a deep exhale. Together, they explore what's really going on for mothers beneath the brain fog, the overwhelm, the resentment, the stubborn changes in our bodies – and why so many of us feel like we're failing, when actually our bodies are doing exactly what they were designed to do. Dr Mindy gently reframes stress, hormones and fatigue, helping us understand why women's bodies respond so differently to pressure, why putting ourselves last comes at a cost, and why self-care isn't something to squeeze in once everything else is done. They also talk about fasting – not as a rule or restriction, but as a way of working with the female body rather than against it – and how it can support clarity, calm and energy when done with care and context. And perhaps most powerfully, this conversation reclaims perimenopause and menopause as something rarely spoken about in this way: not an ending, but a powerful rewiring. A time when the brain begins to let go of people-pleasing, external validation and over-functioning – and moves us towards leadership, confidence and deep self-trust. This episode is an invitation to step into the year differently.To stop fixing yourself.To start listening to yourself. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why stress underpins so much of how mothers feel in their bodies and minds How women's bodies and brains are uniquely wired through motherhood and midlife What self-care, fasting and strength really look like when done with compassion Why midlife can be a powerful return to clarity, confidence and self-trust

She explains how fasting might be one of the most powerful tools for your ageing brain, which two supplements could make a real difference to both your thinking and your achy joints, why finding purpose matters more than ever when motivation starts to wane, the surprising link between storytelling and memory, and how the bacteria in your gut could be naturally lifting your mood.Links mentioned in the episode:CreatineCollagenMore from Liz:Preorder Liz's NEW book – How to AgeA Better Second Half Follow Liz on InstagramFollow Liz Earle Wellbeing on InstagramMore from Mindy: Age Like a Girl Follow Mindy on InstagramGet in touch with a question for Liz:Email: podcast@lizearlewellbeing.comWhatsApp: 07518 471 846Some links may be affiliate links, which help support the show at no extra cost to you.

I love this conversation because it names something so many women feel but rarely say out loud. That moment when you wake up and realize you can't keep doing things the same way anymore. In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, we dive into the identity shift women experience in midlife and why suddenly not being able to do it all, for everyone, is not a failure, it's biology. Dr. Mindy breaks down what's actually happening in the brain as estrogen declines, why people-pleasing patterns fall away, and how this phase of life is designed to reconnect you to your authentic voice. We talk about marriages, careers, solitude, resentment, and why menopause is actually an initiation into leadership, wisdom, and truth.

Zum Jahresbeginn begibt sich «Kassensturz»-Moderator André Ruch auf Zeitreise: Die Spezialsendung zeigt Höhepunkte und Amüsantes aus dem Schweizer Konsumalltag. Darunter auch viele Beiträge, mit denen «Kassensturz» der Zuschauerschaft helfen konnte. «Kassensturz» zeigt Wirkung Rund 1000 Meldungen erreichen die «Kassensturz»-Redaktion jeden Monat – regelmässig kann die Sendung den Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauern zu ihrem Recht verhelfen. So führten «Kassensturz»-Berichte dazu, dass Migros und Coop die Arbeitsbedingungen ihrer Angestellten verbessert haben, dass ein grosser Autokonzern 156 Millionen Franken Strafe bezahlen musste, oder eine IV-Gutachterstelle wegen gefälschter Berichte aufgeflogen ist. Einsätze mit versteckter Kamera Eines der wichtigsten Instrumente im «Kassensturz»-Besteck: Die versteckte Kamera. Dank ihr überführt «Kassensturz» immer wieder dubiose Geschäftsleute. Diese Methode sorgt immer wieder für Furore und beschäftigte zwischenzeitlich die höchsten Gerichte. Tierquälerei im Konsum «Kassensturz» setzt sich immer wieder auch für das Tierrecht ein. Im Fokus der Berichterstattung dabei: Tiere, die für unseren Konsum leiden müssen, weil ihr Pelz zu Kleidern verarbeitet wird, weil sie zur Nahrungsmittelproduktion gezüchtet werden, oder weil sie als Haustier gerade modisch sind. Mogelpackungen am Pranger Mogelpackungen entdecken und öffentlich anprangern gehört seit jeher zu «Kassensturz». Die Spezialsendung zeigt unverschämte und mitunter auch haarsträubende Beispiele – von übergrossen Zahnpasta-Öffnungen bis zu überteuerten Premium-Produkten. Produktetests im Wandel der Zeit Es gibt wohl kaum ein Produkt, das «Kassensturz» nicht getestet hat: Rund 2500 Produktetests sind es bis heute, von der Bratpfanne zur Elektrozahnbürste, vom Vibrator bis zum Präservativ, vom Töggelikasten bis zur Karaoke-Maschine, vom Zucker in Schweizer Weisswein zu Pestiziden in Erdbeeren.

We talk about fasting in a way that finally makes sense for women, how estrogen impacts everything from motivation to people-pleasing, and how to take back power over your health in your 40s and beyond. Dr. Mindy breaks down the science behind hormone shifts, brain rewiring, and the importance of your cycle and its timing.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is back in the spotlight, and many women are asking the same questions: Is it safe? Is it right for me? And why does it still feel so confusing? In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down what really happened after the Women's Health Initiative study, why the black box warning was added and later removed, and what newer research has clarified about HRT, timing, hormone type, and delivery method. She explains why lifestyle and metabolic health are the missing pieces in this conversation and why HRT should never be viewed as a standalone solution. This episode is not about telling you yes or no. It's about helping you understand the science so you can make an empowered, informed decision with your doctor.

What actually happens inside your body when you don't eat for 72 hours? Fasting for three days has become one of the most talked-about healing tools — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe it's dangerous. Others think it's a quick fix. The truth lives somewhere in between. In this solo episode, I walk you step-by-step through what happens in the body during a 72-hour fast, from blood sugar shifts and ketone production to autophagy, inflammation reduction, immune system renewal, and brain healing. This episode is designed to educate, not pressure. We'll talk about who should and should not attempt a longer fast, why preparation matters, how women should approach fasting differently than men, and how to use fasting as a powerful reset. This episode also serves as a foundational resource for our upcoming FREE 3-Day Water Fast with Hay House, starting January 5, 2026.

Dr. Mindy shares her own stories and insights from groundbreaking research, showing how these childhood messages quietly shape our boundaries, self-confidence, and relationships (and why so many of us feel “not okay” trying to keep up). You'll hear a refreshingly honest take on body image struggles, people-pleasing, and the relentless chase for outside approval.

On episode 726 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to dive into her groundbreaking book, Age Like a Girl: How Menopause Rewires Your Brain for Mental Clarity, Increased Confidence, and Renewed Energy. For too long, menopause has been seen as a decline, but Dr. Mindy is here to flip the script—showing us how this stage of life can be a powerful transformation for women. Together, they unpack the science behind menopause, its impact on neurochemistry, and why these changes don't have to signal the end, but rather the start of a vibrant and empowering new chapter. Dr. Mindy shares her personal journey, the ancestral roots of the "grandmother hypothesis," and practical, research-backed lifestyle changes to help women thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally after 40. Plus, this episode acknowledges the importance of support from partners and why open conversations with the men in our lives are crucial during this transition.

In Part 2 of Valeria's conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz, the focus shifts from understanding menopause to actively working with it to improve your life. Dr. Mindy introduces the concept of “microdosing menopause,” breaking down simple, daily habits women can use to support their changing brains and bodies, from metabolic markers like hemoglobin A1C to lifestyle shifts that ease anxiety and improve energy. They dive into why menopause often acts as a mirror, revealing what's no longer working in your life, while reframing this phase as a powerful leadership chapter rooted in the “grandmother hypothesis.” The episode also covers how to communicate changes with partners, which hormones to check at different ages, how to build a true alliance with your doctor, and a clear-eyed discussion of peptides and hormone replacement therapy. Ultimately, Dr. Mindy reframes menopause not as something to “get through,” but as a strategic, self-aware upgrade, one that gives women the tools, clarity and confidence to step into the most grounded and powerful phase of their lives.

Beautiful soul, this episode is for any woman navigating perimenopause, menopause, or feeling confused by the emotional, mental, and physical shifts happening in her body. Julie is joined by Dr. Mindy Pelz for a powerful, grounded conversation that reframes hormonal change not as something breaking down, but as an initiation into wisdom, clarity, and deeper self-trust. Together, they explore why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, irritability, sleep disruption, and emotional intensity are not failures, but messages from the body asking to be listened to differently. This episode gently reframes menopause as a spiritual and biological transition, intuition as a skill that strengthens with age, and metabolic health as a foundation for emotional balance. It is especially supportive for women feeling unseen by the medical system, overwhelmed by symptoms, or sensing that this season of life is calling them into a new level of leadership, truth, and alignment.

I'll be honest, menopause used to feel like something I would deal with later, distant and a little intimidating. This conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz completely reframed that for me. We talk about menopause as a neurological and metabolic reset, not a decline, and why so many women feel raw, overstimulated, or suddenly done with people pleasing when estrogen drops. Dr. Pelz explains what's happening in the brain, why that shift can feel uncomfortable at first, and how it often signals clarity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self.→ Leave Us A Voice Message!

What if the confusion around fasting and hormones isn't because the science is complicated, but because most people are using the wrong tools for the wrong goals? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to get clear about what fasting actually does, when it helps, and when it backfires. This is a conversation about taking ownership of your metabolism instead of chasing trends that don't match your life. We talk about the viral moment from her Stephen Bartlett interview, how misinformation spreads, and what she learned from being at the center of it. Mindy breaks down her six core fasts, why women need a different strategy, and how to adjust your approach if you train hard. We get into cycle-based fasting, fertility, menopause, HRT, toxic load, peptides, creatine, apple cider vinegar, and the rise of GLP-1 drugs. If you've ever wondered how to use fasting without wrecking your energy or performance, this episode will give you a clearer path forward. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, educator, and functional health expert known as the fasting guru. Her books Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl have helped millions of women rethink metabolic health, hormones, and aging, and she has led hundreds of thousands of people through community fasts that focus on real-world results, not quick fixes.

Dr. Mindy Pelz returns to explore the deeper meaning of aging, menopause, and the profound psychological and neurological transformations women undergo as they grow older. Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, mythology, and personal experience, Mindy reframes menopause not as a decline—but as an initiation into wisdom, sovereignty, and inner authority.We discuss the concept of the “second innocence,” the pruning and rewiring of the female brain across hormonal transitions, the grandmother hypothesis, and why modern culture fears aging women. Mindy shares how trauma, grief, solitude, and uncertainty can become gateways to resilience, neuroplasticity, and self-discovery—especially when women stop outsourcing their worth and begin listening inward.Boost your hydration with Pique Life Tea (20% off here):https://www.piquelife.com/knowthyselfAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________00:00 Intro - Dr. Mindy Pelz03:39 The return to the second innocence08:18 What's the purpose of menopause?16:09 Where the shift begins23:04 Supporting others without abandoning yourself31:57 Being considerate vs owning others' emotions34:14 Ad: Pique Life35:55 The power of solitude43:26 Letting go52:48 From power over to power within56:48 The brain architecture of wisdom1:02:24 Transformation: From a caterpillar to a butterfly1:19:58 Fasting during menopause1:26:35 Knowing when and how to detox1:32:31 Healing through breathwork, EMDR, psilocybin1:45:12 Lacking a support system1:49:07 Closing thoughts___________Episode Resources: Her new book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/age-like-a-girl-why-the-brain-changes-that-happen-after-40-set-you-up-for-your-best-life-yet-dr-mindy-pelz/1d7c0fe95ab52c4f?ean=9781401975562&next=thttps://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelzhttps://www.drmindypelz.com/https://www.instagram.com/andreduqum/https://www.instagram.com/knowthyself/https://www.youtube.com/@knowthyselfpodcasthttps://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com

In part one of this powerful and insightful two-part conversation of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to unpack the real reason she wrote Age Like a Girl, and why menopause is far more than a hormonal ending, but a profound rewiring of a woman's brain and identity. Dr. Mindy opens up about her own breaking point, the need to pull away and admit “I'm not okay,” and what actually happens to women emotionally, neurologically, and metabolically as estrogen fades. Together, they explore the loss of key neurochemicals, the shift away from people-pleasing, and why menopause may be preparing women to become better, more intentional leaders. This episode also offers practical insight for women in their 30s and 40s on lifestyle changes, micro-habits, and ways to support dopamine, serotonin, and metabolic health, setting the foundation for the next chapter of power rather than decline.

What if aging didn't mean decline, burnout, or stubborn weight gain but a powerful metabolic and neurological upgrade? In this in-studio episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz to discuss her brand new book Age Like a Girl and share science backed strategies for women over 40 who want better metabolic health, sustainable fat loss, and hormonal balance. Dr. Mindy reframes aging as a biological initiation rather than a breakdown, explaining why stubborn belly fat, fatigue, and stress resistance are signals of adaptation, not failure. Together, Ben and Mindy break down simple but powerful habits that lower cortisol, restore insulin sensitivity, and help women shift from survival mode into strength. This conversation explores fasting rhythms for women over 40, the neurochemical changes of menopause, why walking is one of the most underrated metabolic tools, and how environment and relationships directly influence fat loss and healing. It is both deeply scientific and profoundly human. If you are feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, frustrated with your body, or ready to embrace the next chapter of your health with clarity and confidence, this episode is a must listen. Key Topics Covered Why fat gain is a protective intelligence, not a failure How walking lowers cortisol and restores nervous system balance Eating only during daylight for better insulin signaling The most effective fasting rhythm for women over 40 Carnivore fasting and why it accelerates fat loss safely Estrogen loss and the shift to ketone based metabolism Dopamine, motivation, and the neurochemistry of menopause Why environment and relationships affect metabolic success Menopause as a neurological and emotional initiation Why self prioritization is essential for long term health 

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz — bestselling author, women's health expert, and someone who has lived the menopause journey herself. Dr. Pelz opens up about how menopause completely reframed her life, not as an ending or a decline, but as a powerful transition into greater clarity, confidence, and leadership. She breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense — from how our brains shift during this stage to why our bodies demand different kinds of movement, sleep habits, and even fasting rhythms. Together, she and Dr. Youn dig into the evolutionary story behind menopause, the neurological upgrades no one talks about, and the practical daily strategies that help women feel strong, energized, and mentally sharp. This conversation is equal parts inspiring and actionable — an invitation to see menopause not as something to survive, but as a chance to step into a new, stronger version of yourself.

She is a leading functional health expert, educator and bestselling author, recognised globally for her pioneering work in fasting, women's health and hormones. Yet Dr Mindy Pelz's story stretches far beyond the science.In this energising and insightful conversation, Mindy joins Sarah Grynberg to share the truths of midlife and beyond, from how fasting and hormones shape women's health, to why ageing doesn't have to mean slowing down. With clarity and passion, she reveals how to work with your body instead of against it, how to navigate menopause with more ease, and how to embrace ageing as a powerful new chapter filled with freedom and purpose.You'll learn:*Why fasting and hormonal health are key to thriving in midlife.*How to challenge outdated ideas about ageing and menopause.*Practical tools to live with more strength, confidence and vitality.This episode is a powerful reminder that ageing is not an ending, but an opportunity, to rewrite the story, reclaim your health, and live more fully than ever before.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynbergWebsite: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

She has written several books, with her most recent being Age Like A Girl. She also has a top-ranking podcast and YouTube channel.  In our conversation today, we'll explain how you can reframe menopause as an evolutionary upgrade.

We also highlight the critical importance of bioindividuality at this stage of life, and Dr. Mindy shares the books she likes and recommends. This discussion with Dr. Mindy is personal and deeply philosophical, inviting you to contemplate ideas that will continue to resonate with you long after it ends. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How setting boundaries improves relationships and preserves energy in midlife Why children transitioning to adulthood must be allowed to handle responsibilities How parental over-involvement can hinder the independence of young adults How the neurochemical shifts in perimenopause and menopause alter women's emotional responses and priorities The value of novelty and new experiences for supporting mental and emotional health How clutter impacts stress levels, especially during hormonal changes The benefits of creating calm environments to regulate the brain and emotional system How downsizing can bring profound peace and freedom Why solitude and personal space are essential for self-regulation in midlife How menopause creates the need for recalibrating relationship boundaries Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website Submit your questions to support@cynthiathurlow.com Join other like-minded women in a supportive, nurturing community (The Midlife Pause/Cynthia Thurlow)  Cynthia's Menopause Gut Book is on presale now!

In this episode, Dr. Will Cole sits down with bestselling author and women's health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to talk about the misunderstood science of menopause, longevity, and metabolic flexibility. Dr. Pelz breaks down why women can't “biohack” their way through midlife, how estrogen impacts over a dozen neurochemicals, why irritability and brain fog are often neurological - not just hormonal - and why the menopausal brain shifts to preferring ketones over glucose. They also explore the Primal Menopausal Diet, fasting windows, lifestyle shifts that naturally rebalance neurotransmitters, and how to step into the innate leadership encoded into the female brain post-menopause.
