Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 15 Gluten Free Indian Cuisine   Indian food is one of my favorite ethnic dishes, so I'm so glad that East Indian cuisine is mostly naturally gluten free! Besides naan bread, and some samosas - which are the East Indian version of a burrito - most other dishes do not have gluten. Today, I'll give you information on popular Indian dishes that typically do not contain gluten that I've eaten in the past. As always, check with the chef or cook at the restaurant you're eating at to make sure your food is safe!   Be Aware of Gluten in Lentils   Because the FDA allows up to 10% of another grain in lentils, I try to avoid lentils as much as possible. However, there are several dishes, including the crisp wafer Papadam, that are made from lentils. The one time I was sick from Indian food was cross-contamination of the lentils in the dish.   Four Types of Indian Cuisine based on Region   North Indian cuisine is known for its robust flavors and extensive use of dairy products, such as ghee (clarified butter), yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese). Popular dishes include biryani, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, naan bread, and various lentil-based dishes like dal makhani.   South Indian cuisine is primarily vegetarian and is characterized by its generous use of rice, lentils, coconut, and spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and red chilies. Popular dishes include dosa (fermented rice and lentil crepes), idli (steamed rice and lentil cakes), sambhar (spicy lentil soup), and rasam (tangy soup).   East Indian cuisine is known for its seafood, sweets, and subtle flavors. Rice and fish are staple ingredients in this cuisine. Popular dishes include macher jhol (fish curry), sandesh (a sweet made from cottage cheese and sugar), and rasgulla (a syrupy dessert made from cheese curds).   West Indian cuisine is known for its spicy and vibrant flavors. It heavily relies on ingredients like garlic, ginger, and chilies. Popular dishes include pav bhaji (a spicy mashed vegetable curry served with bread), vada pav (a spicy potato fritter sandwich), dhokla (steamed fermented chickpea flour snack), and various Gujarati thalis (platters) featuring a wide variety of vegetarian dishes.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 14 Traveling Gluten Free in Puerto Rico   I recently took a vacation in Humacao, Puerto Rico after visiting this beautiful US territory for the first time last year. I stayed at Las Palmas Resort and I enjoyed my stay so much, I've already booked another week there for next year! I can't wait to go back. Listen in to today's gluten free travel episode where I talk about my experience in Puerto Rico, fun things to do while you're there, and, of course, amazing gluten free restaurants to eat at when you're in Puerto Rico.   Traveling to Puerto Rico   You can easily get a plane ticket in and out of the main airport in San Juan. And because Puerto Rico is a US territory, you don't need a passport, but you will need a Real ID. Also, you don't need to exchange currency as Puerto Rico is a territory and uses US dollars. It's an easy trip to get to a tropical island that you don't need a passport to travel to if you're a US resident!   Beaches in Puerto Rico   One of the best geologic features and most relaxing activity is to visit a local beach. Luquillo Beach is beautiful and there are restaurants and facilities (including showers) nearby. You can rent a beach chair for $25 for the day, and buy a coconut water or coco loco to sit and relax on the beach, read a book, swim, snorkel or people watch.   Where to Stay in Puerto Rico   I stayed at Park Royal Homestead, and I really enjoyed my stay at their resort! I had a two bedroom condo, with a full kitchen, right next to the pool. The resort offers free shuttles anywhere in the resort, including all restaurants and their own private beach   Make sure that you're following the 3-1-1 TSA rule for liquids if you're packing liquids in your carry-on. I recently got stuck throwing out shampoo and conditioner because I had too many liquids with my medicine. Now, however, I carry a medical bag so my medicine that's considered a liquid doesn't count towards my 3-1-1 (see medical bag link below) .    Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Typically, the weight limit for checked bags is 60 pounds and I've never come close to that weight on a checked bag, even after adding food.   Make sure that you're following the 3-1-1 TSA rule for liquids if you're packing liquids in your carry-on. I recently got stuck throwing out shampoo and conditioner because I had too many liquids with my medicine. Now, however, I carry a medical bag so my medicine that's considered a liquid doesn't count towards my 3-1-1 (see medical bag link below) .    Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 12 How to Eat Gluten Free at Your Vacation Rental   Are you scared to eat out at restaurants? If you're new to having Celiac disease, this is a real fear! You don't want to be anxious on vacation, so what do you do? My friend, you can find an Air b'n'b or VRBO at the location you're taking your vacation and make your own food. Always call ahead and speak to restaurant managers directly at hotels, don't rely on the front desk staff to ask if the food is safe at the hotel restaurant. You'll also want to call ahead and find out what appliances and the size of the fridge and microwave so you understand what you have to cook with when you're on vacation. Make sure to follow these tips when you're eating out or making your own food when traveling gluten free.   Find Out About the Kitchen   Since there are no standards for what appliances come in a mini-kitchen, studio, or full kitchen apartment or vacation rental, you'll want to call ahead and find out what appliances are available to use. Which appliances are safe? You may not want to use the blender, and other appliances which food can get easily cross-contaminated such as the toaster.   Make sure to clean your utensils well, use toaster sleeves, and wash any plates you may need during your stay. Look for crumbs in the cabinets and avoid using anything that has come in contact with leftover food. You can easily purchase paper plates to use while you are on vacation to give yourself an extra level of protection and create a less stressed travel vacation.   These Food Rules for Gluten Free also Apply to Food Allergies   Whether you have food allergies or you're gluten free for health reasons, you can apply these practices to keep your food safe! Never assume that any product doesn't have gluten or a food allergen unless you have thoroughly read the label. This can be time consuming, but it's the only way to ensure that the food you are eating is safe. Gluten can hide in many different places including: scrambled eggs at restaurants, tea, salad dressing and sauces, sausages and other meats, as well as alcohol.    If you can't find a local place to buy safe food, you can always order food from Amazon and have it shipped to your vacation rental! Please be safe and read all ingredients and ask the right questions when you're traveling gluten free or with food allergies!   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 11 Gluten Free Food Tours with Katrina McGhee   Finding Gluten Free Friendly Food Tours While Traveling   Are you scared to take a gluten free food tour? Even with my experience, I avoid food tours because I don't trust that someone else will ask the right questions for me. Today, I chat with Katrina McGhee, who is gluten intolerant - not Celiac - about how she approaches and asks about food tours. Caution: If you're Celiac you will want to use your own judgment with food tour safety. Look for a food tour with dedicated gluten free restaurants or a completely gluten free food tour.   Questions to Ask Food Tour Operators   If you find a food tour, look to see if they mention food allergies or accommodating food allergies. If they don't, you can reach out to the tour operator and ask them directly the following questions: Have you had someone with a food allergy on your tour? What gluten free offerings do these places have? Are all these locations familiar with gluten allergies? What is the protocol at these places? Do you offer exclusive gluten free food tours?   Be Cautious When Booking a Food Tour   Even when you ask all the right questions, you can still end up getting food you can't eat. Although my guest did a variety of food tours, I personally wouldn't book a food tour. Why? Because they are too risky to chance getting sick because I have to depend on the knowledge and experience of someone else to vet food establishments and I'm not personally willing to take that risk.   Katrina is gluten intolerant, not Celiac, and if you're intolerant you have more food options. You don't have to worry about cross contamination and you don't get as sick. My advice is if you're intolerant, you could safely eat on a food tour. If you're Celiac, I wouldn't book a food tour unless it was a tour in Italy or another gluten-free friendly place, and the tour locations were exclusively gluten free. For me, it would be too stressful and not fun if I had to watch everyone else enjoying their food after I paid for a food tour ticket on my vacation.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 10 How to Travel with Disabilities featuring Jen Hardy   What does it mean to travel with disabilities? What is a disability and what do you need to know if you're traveling with disabilities? My friend and fellow female podcaster Jen Hardy from the Fabulous Over Fifty podcast (formerly the Hardy Moms Podcast) also has multiple disabilities, including an auto-immune disease which leaves her without energy and the ability to walk or stand on her own. Traveling with a walker, Jen is here to give us tips on how to travel when you have to carry medical devices as a result of your disability. She also tells her story with her experience on United Airlines and how they left her in the terminal, alone, after forgetting to order her a wheelchair and not assisting her off the airplane with a walking aide.   What Does it Mean to Travel with a Disability?   A disability is when a person has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. These include auto-immune disease, cancer, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other impairments. It's very common that if you have one disability, you have another. For me, I have 10 disabilities - some of them physical, some mental such as my PTSD I have from being raised in an abusive household. Although you can't see most disabilities in physical form, they are there. When others can't see our disabilities, it makes it hard for them to understand how we have to adjust in our daily life and especially when we travel.   Always Take Your Medication on the Plane with You   Depending on your disability, you may have to use a walker, diabetic medication, cane, brace or support, and most likely you are traveling with medication. Always, always, always take your medication with you on the plane. Take a medical bag because this can be your extra third bag that is excluded from your two you can take on the plane because of medical reasons. While you don't have to have a doctor's letter or note, I would highly recommend geting a medical bag for your medications.    When flying gluten-free, you want to know about this not-well-known piece of information. If you have a disability, and any auto-immune disease is considered a disability, you have the right to carry one extra bag for medical supplies. In addition to the two bags you can carry on, you get one extra. Here's the link to the TSA article, which explains in detail what you can bring and what they allow on the airplane when you travel with a medical bag.    Don't have a medical bag? Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag. I just picked one up from Amazon, and I'm very excited to travel with this handy medical bag. I've been able to stuff lots of supplements and all my prescriptions, along with my spray hand sanitizer, into this convenient bag that has a shoulder strap for easy carrying through the airport.  And if you need a clear, quart-sized travel case for your toiletries because the TSA agent took yours the last time you went through security (like the rude agent who I encountered at the St. Louis airport), then grab this amazing deal from CBGE! Three TSA-approved quart-sized toiletry bags for men or women for under $11.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 09 What Does it Mean to Be Gluten Free?   What does it mean to eat gluten-free? Find out when my friend Marvin from the Live Healthy Podcast interviews me on his show! On this episode of Travel Gluten-free Podcast, you'll find out about me, how I came up with my name Elikqitie, along with questions and answers which my friend Marvin asked me about how to be gluten free.   What Does it Mean to Be Gluten Free?   Being gluten free means that you aren't eating any foods that contain gluten. So what's gluten? Gluten is the protein found in several grains including wheat, barley, triticale, and other grains. When you don't eat gluten, you are eliminating any grain that contains gluten along with any processed foods that contain gluten including those with ingredients such as: modified food starch, hydrolyzed protein, and natural flavors or spices as these ingredients all have the possibility to contain gluten.    Eating Gluten Free as a Preference   If you've eaten out or you've talked to anyone breathing on the face of our planet, you know that some people eat gluten-free to try it out or as a preference. While that is fine, there is a significant distinction between eating gluten free as a preference and avoiding gluten because of medical reasons such as Celiac disease or a food allergy.   Adjusting to Gluten Free Eating and the Gluten Free Lifestyle   While some people find out about Celiac disease as a child and grow up eating gluten free, I didn't find out until the age of 42. Being of French and Italian descent, I believed that my gastronomic enjoyment was over because I didn't think I would ever be able to eat bread or pasta again. However, there are some amazing food brands out there and I can enjoy almost any food that I want in its gluten-free form. Learning how to make food again was challenging, but the real challenge was knowing how to eat when I'm not in the city that I live - the big challenge is learning how to travel gluten free!   Best Places to Travel When You're Gluten Free   Marvin turns the table on me when he asks me the best places to eat for gluten free travelers, where I'm going on my next trip, and what I miss the most. (Note: since we recorded this show I have gotten my fix of buttery croissants and I would love to go back to the European bakery and get more!).   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 08 Top Tips for Traveling Gluten Free   What do you need to know when you're a gluten free traveler? While there are many details you need to plan for your trip, here are a few new ones that I haven't talked about on previous episodes of the Travel Gluten-free Podcast. Today, I'll give you great gluten free travel advice to travel safely, no matter where your gluten free adventure ends up taking you in the world!   Traveling with Your Medicine Bag   When flying gluten-free, you want to know about this not-well-known piece of information. If you have a disability, and any auto-immune disease is considered a disability, you have the right to carry one extra bag for medical supplies. In addition to the two bags you can carry on, you get one extra. Here's the link to the TSA article, which explains in detail what you can bring and what they allow on the airplane when you travel with a medical bag.    Don't have a medical bag? Get the PracMedic Travel Medicine Bag. I just picked one up from Amazon, and I'm very excited to travel with this handy medical bag. I've been able to stuff lots of supplements and all my prescriptions, along with my spray hand sanitizer, into this convenient bag that has a shoulder strap for easy carrying through the airport.  And if you need a clear, quart-sized travel case for your toiletries because the TSA agent took yours the last time you went through security (like the rude agent who I encountered at the St. Louis airport), then grab this amazing deal from CBGE! Three TSA-approved quart-sized toiletry bags for men or women for under $11.   Call to Verify Your Fridge, Microwave, and Freezer at Your Hotel or Air   Never assume that your hotel room is going to come standard with a microwave, fridge, and freezer! I've been to hotels that were very nice and had none of these accommodations. Always call ahead - ideally before you book your stay - to find out if they have these much-needed vacation items or if they can provide them to you upon your arrival.    Cover Your Cooking Surfaces   Don't believe it when you hear that gluten can cook off of surfaces! This is simply not true. You need to assume that all surfaces have gluten on them, because, well, that's the world we live in! To protect yourself, you'll want to purchase reusable toaster sleeves to protect your food. Looking to protect your food from someone else's gluten laden stuff? Grab these compostable sandwich bags that are reusable and biodegradable.   Podcast Resources   Journey safely with The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 06 Traveling and Eating Gluten Free with Kyle from Equal Eats Cards   In today's  Travel Gluten-free Podcast, we are joined by Kyle Dine, the founder, and creator of Equal Eats Cards. Kyle has created one of the most important tools for the gluten free traveler or anyone with food allergies who eat out, especially when you're traveling to another country.   Growing Up with Multiple Food Allergies   Kyle grew up with multiple food allergies since he was a baby. His allergies include peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and shellfish. In addition, his wife has Celiac disease, so their kitchen is color coded, and they each have their own appliances to prepare food at home.    Creating Equal Eats Cards   Seeing a need for a professionally translated allergen card that would be taken seriously by wait for staff and others in the food industry, Kyle went on to survey over 2000 people with food allergies along with 60 professionals in the healthcare industry to find out what they were looking for when it came to an allergy translation card. He repeatedly found that the card needed to be plastic, have allergen information, and need to list what to avoid and what precautions to take when making food for those of us with dietary restrictions.   Equal Eats Cards Options   With his mission to empower people living with dietary restrictions to enjoy food everywhere by providing an accurate, accessible, and seamless technology solution to help communicate their dietary restrictions effectively, accurately, and conveniently - wherever their life takes them. Kyle takes great effort to give each individual a customizable option for their card. For example, you can add Celiac, vegan, vegetarian, food allergies, and food intolerances so your wait staff knows all the foods you can't eat. There are dozens of food allergy and intolerance options and dietary choices you can order on Equal Eats. This comes in very handy when you're ordering food when you're in a country in which you don't understand the language.   Podcast Resources   Journey with Travel Gluten Free when you get The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free  which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten Free Podcast Season 09 Episode 01 Travel Gluten Free on International Flights   We kick off Season 09 of the Travel Gluten-free Podcast with an informational episode giving the gluten free traveler advice on how to navigate international air travel. While domestic air travel can be challenging, adding more hours and a foreign language or two gives us more hurdles to overcome when we are on our vacation. However, we can still navigate the international travel scene without getting sick when you know what to do and how to prepare for travel to Europe, Asia, Africa, Iceland, or South America.   Finding Gluten Free Eats at Airports   While some airports, such as Atlanta International have food guides to show you which restaurants could possibly accommodate a gluten-free eater, they may not be safe for someone who is Celiac because preparation of the food is essential for safe eating! However, you can use the Find Me Gluten Free app - even inside airports - to find safe food to eat. If you're flying through Portland (PDX) you can definitely eat at the Burgerville restaurant, just make sure to tell them to tag your order with a gluten allergy.   Using Equal Eats Cards at International Airports   I absolutely love Equal Eats cards! They not only tell wait staff and chefs what you can and can't eat in the foreign language of your choice, they also inform food preparation people about how your food needs to be handled. In addition, they are well-vetted and can be customized for food allergies, and sensitivities in addition to the details of Celiac disease, bringing an extra level of safety to traveling gluten free.   Podcast Resources   Journey with Travel Gluten Free when you get The Guide to Traveling Gluten Free which walks you through planning your next gluten-free travel adventure!

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 28 Gluten Free European Bakeries with Matt from Gluten Free Street Gang   Join us in today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast as Matt from the Gluten Free Street Gang and I chat about the favorite bakeries he's visited throughout Europe! We talk about where you can find the best gluten free croissants, gluten free cake, and gluten free pastries around the world.   The Popularity of Gluten Free Bakeries There are many gluten-free bakeries in European countries that offer a variety of gluten-free baked goods such as bread, pastries, and desserts. Some of these bakeries may be dedicated exclusively to gluten-free products, while others may offer both gluten-free and gluten-containing options. It is worth noting that the availability and popularity of gluten-free products has increased significantly in recent years, so it is likely that there are many options for those following a gluten-free diet in these countries.  About Matt Bzedl   Matt grew up outside the US with expat parents and travel has been a constant of his life since he was a toddler. Matt has been on a gluten free diet since December 2013 and has IBS. While gluten isn't the only culprit, gluten is his worst offender.  He started my meme account after getting an idea for a meme about Starbucks discontinuing their gluten free breakfast sandwich.    Matt has run the largest gluten free meme account on Instagram for a little over two years and is proud to both be a leader in our community as well as building connections with people from all over the world who find my his relatable.    The name of his account comes from a soccer team he was on when living in the US. Matt had a wild assortment of injuries and with the constant jokes about being in his mid-20s going on 80, the name "Retirement Home Street Gang" was born. The name Gluten Free Street Gang came about as an extension of that name.   He's been to 27 countries (and lived in four countries if you count study abroad). His best travel story is when he was working in Belgium and took a sleeper train with some friends and woke up in a different country than his intended travel destination. Matt hopes to keep travel as a central content theme for his upcoming work.

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 27 What is in Gluten-free Bread?   The holiday season is upon us, and it's that time of the year we will be doing lots of cooking for our family and friends, so we need to be extra careful to ensure our food is gluten-free. Join us in today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast as we talk about what is in gluten-free bread as we also look in depth at gluten-free grains and non-grain gluten-free flour.   Gluten-free Versus Certified Gluten-free   In America, it takes up to six months to pull a product that doesn't have the correct label off the shelf, so you want to be keen on any product labeled as gluten-free because it might have been processed in a facility that handles wheat. Find out why as a Celiac, you should always go for certified gluten-free products. I will also share the certifications that come with certified gluten-free foods.   Gluten-free Bread Ingredients   Listen in as I share the different non-grain gluten-free flour, usually made from root vegetables or nuts. Gluten-free grain flours are okay for Celiacs so long as they are produced in a facility that doesn't handle gluten. Find out some amazing grain-based gluten-free flour to bake your bread.    Additional Ingredients for your Gluten-free Bread   Gluten-free bread tends to be a little drier because they lack gluten. I share the trick I use to make my gluten-free bread moist, plus other ingredients that will make your bread tastier and fluffier whether you are vegan or not. Also, find out why I picked  Simple Mills as one of my brand partners as I take you through some of my favorite ingredients from Simple Mills.

I share with you why gluten-free single-serving snacks are a great option to carry with you, especially if you are traveling with kids. Extra Tips When Packing Your Gluten Free Carry on Bags   Shaker metal bottles are better mixers; however, they may make unnecessary noise while carrying them around. I recommend some tips on how to pack your shaker bottles to minimize the noise and how to pack and use single-serve protein drinks with your shaker bottle.   Supplements are essential in your carry-on bag because of the risk of cross-contamination while traveling. We all need different supplements, and you should consult your doctor to determine which ones are good for you. Discover why I always pack ginger, charcoal, probiotics, and enzymes as part of my supplements when traveling. Finally, what is personal flatware?

Travel Gluten-Free Podcast Season 07 Episode 14 What's For Gluten Free Breakfast?   Most people assume that breakfast meals like bacon and sausages are gluten-free because they are made of meat protein. However, you'd be surprised where you would find gluten lurking in your breakfast! In addition, you'd also be surprised about the many gluten free breakfast options that are available to you! In today's Travel Gluten-free Podcast, I will take you through some fantastic ideas for your gluten-free breakfast and what foods to avoid if you're Celiac or gluten intolerant. Foods to Avoid for your Gluten-free Breakfast   Breakfast cereals are an everyday staple in the American diet. But be forewarned: there is no lack of gluten in cereals! Many people believe that rice cereals are safe because they are rice-based. However, in my experience, I've found that many rice cereals have gluten!    Malt sweetener or malt flavoring, a common sweetener for rice cereals, is made from barley, which has gluten. I share why you should be careful when consuming breakfast cereals with rice and, ultimately, why you should avoid any foods containing malt or maltodextrin. I cover reasons to look out for maltodextrin in breakfast meats and other breakfast foods and how to label read to ensure your breakfast sausages and bacon are gluten-free.   I also discuss why you should be careful with oats as a Celiac and share some gluten-free oat brands. With oats, you want to ensure that they are purity protocol or certified gluten-free because of the cross-contamination during processing. In addition, you can be sensitive to oat protein. Listen in to learn more details about why oats may affect you if you have Celiac disease. Food Ideas for your Next Gluten-free Breakfast   Keto cereals are a good choice for a gluten-free breakfast, especially for those on the keto diet or if you're looking to cut out or reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Discover some fantastic gluten-free keto cereal brands, what to look out for in keto products and why all keto products are not gluten-free.   Find out why certified gluten-free granola is a great option to include in your breakfast and where to find them. Gluten-free bagels and bread are an excellent addition to your breakfast; I share with you some great bagel and bread brands on the market. Since dairy can be hard on your body if you are a Celiac, I'll share why you can find a great alternative to dairy in plant-based protein drinks. In addition, I share some out-of-the-box ideas for your gluten-free breakfast, such as smoked salmon and the healthy fats you can add to your gluten-free breakfast. Resources Check out Catalina Crunch; a Gluten-free Keto Cereal  Find Gluten-free Granola at Bob's Red Mill Protein drinks at OWYN Protein powder at Orgain Get your gluten-free bagels at Against the Grain Gluten-free bread at Franz Vegetarian and Gluten Free Sausages at Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.

So he turned to his love for cooking for inspiration and eventually discovered that remaking his traditional Jewish foods into a gluten-free recipe was a great way to share delicious traditional Jewish foods while transforming them into amazing gluten-free recipes.   How Matt Created his Gluten Free Recipes   Gluten-free food has a reputation for being subpar. Matt gets his motivation to make his recipes by turning around this stereotype of gluten-free food. Matt has a true passion for delicious gluten-free food, constantly testing out recipes to create delicious gluten-free meals!

For instance, children, pregnant women, and post-menopausal women require different types of intermittent fasting.
