Includes a 30-Day fasting reset that uses the power of your cycle—even if you no longer have one!

A go-to fasting manual created specifically to address women's needs based on their hormones and menstrual cycle by Dr. Mindy Pelz, a well-known expert on women and fasting, whose fast-growing YouTube channel has become the destination for women who want to learn about fasting.

Are you among the many women who feel unheard and unseen by their doctors and health professionals? Have you become exhausted by the promise of quick-fix diets that only leave you disappointed? Well in Fast Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy helps you to take back control of your health by using the quickest path back to better health—fasting.

While most fasting advice has been a one-size-fits-all approach that leaves women with more questions than answers, in this book Dr. Mindy shares the proven strategies, specific protocols to use if you are trying to overcome a condition, fasting hacks, and tools that she has used to help hundreds of thousands of women thrive with their fasting lifestyles.

Dr. Mindy will teach you:

• the rights steps on how to go from eating all day to intermittent fasting (13-15 hours)
• how to safely fast longer if you choose to do so (15-72 hours)
• how to time fasting according to your menstrual cycle (although if you don’t have a cycle, she has you covered)
• the best foods to break your fast to achieve better metabolic health

This book also includes more than 50 recipes based on the two food plans—ketobiotic and hormone feasting—she created to best support women’s hormones. And, it has recipes specifically created to break a fast such as her Coconut Cacao Chia Pudding.

Inspired by the thousands of women she has worked with who have reclaimed their health with fasting, Dr. Mindy wrote this book because, “once a woman knows how to build a fasting lifestyle around her cycle, she becomes unstoppable.”

This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Such a great fasting resource! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Could have been titled “Fast Like a Human” because it has so much generally helpful information - EVERYONE could benefit from listening. It does also contain a ton of relevant info about fasting at various ages and cycles for women.

I am a huge Dr. Mindy fan. She is incredibly aligned with her mission to promote various ways of fasting so that everyone can reap the benefits. She is so generous with her resources and knowledge - if you are not a subscriber of her YouTube channel, please check it out. I love the obvious gratitude she exudes.

I have already pre-ordered the paperback version of Fast Like a Girl but wanted to get started on it right away, I’m thankful that Dr. Mindy read the audible version herself. I think this helps people feel more connected to her work.

What every woman needs to know in a nutshell

My first thought was - I wish I knew this in my 40’s, my next thought was I WISH I KNEW THIS IN MY 20’s. This book takes fasting to the next level for women. It’s about time our needs and physiology is taken into consideration. It’s about time we have the tools to take control of our health. This book is very empowering and a great resource whether you’re new to fasting and taking steps to improve your health or already living a fasting lifestyle.

Love that Dr Mindy narrates the book herself!

Very informative

Other than music playing over the author periodically making it a bit difficult to focus on her information I’ve taken away a lot of clear guidance that I’ll take with me as I prepare for and begin a fasting lifestyle. Grateful to have a book that speaks to fasting for women!

It’s about time! Thank you

I’ve tried IF over time and found that something was off. It’s so wonderful to have a discussion that brings in a woman’s natural cycle and hormonal concerns. Great read (err listen). Two thumbs up!

Fantastic

Dr. Mindy is amazing a lady at the gym recommended this to me and it is incredible. Finally a book that helps me understand my cycle and how to fast or not fast and what to eat and what to avoid to reap the most benefits for my body! Thank you Dr. Mindy
