Best Fasting Window For Women! - Burn Fat & Repair Your Body | Dr. Mindy Pelz

My new best friend

i have Kisquali (Palbociclib)3 weeks out of 4, for stage 4 breast cancer. I manage symptoms well and Ive been stable for 5 years. Im confused when to fast and how long

Can anyone explain in a simple way please?

hi, i feel left out
is there a fasting channel dedicated to men? 😊

Hello! I am 52 years old and have had an irregular cycle for about a year and a half. Sometimes I have my period every month, every second month or even three months in between. How should I think and fast?
Regards from Elsa

About a year ago I started having a whole list of symptoms that I linked to estrogen dominance. I still had my period pretty regularly, but heavy bleeding and lots of migraines. So I got myself on progesterone supplementation (cream & oil) and most of the symptoms disappeared. Only the migraines are still persistent, although not as frequent anymore. But also since then my sleeping went from bad to worse. From having the occasional night waking up and not being able to sleep for a couple of hours I'm now awake every night, and sometimes cannot go back to sleep at all from about 1-2am. I am seriously sleep deprived and whatever I tried so far does not work. I wake up with a racing heart and a racing mind that does not allow me to relax and shut off. I have anxiety attacks, my stress tolerance is virtually zero. I have been living under continuous emotional stress for the best part of the last 18 years, resulting in the separation from my husband last year - which was just another super stressor. I'm at a point where I just don't know anymore what to do to at least improve things to a decent level. I'm on a multitude of supplements, mainly for anxiety and stress and hormone balance. But for a while I felt like I'm looking at all the wrong places for a solution. It feels like I'm utterly tangled up in a spider web and don't know how to get out. I watched a bunch of your videos and your approach, your explanations sound sensible and I definitely want to give it a try. At the moment I do not have a menstrual cycle anymore, most likely because of the progesterone I'm taking. And I am very reluctant to stop this just now. I tried a few months ago and all the nasty symptoms came right up again. Which fasting schedule do you recommend for me to get started, and do you think I can wean myself off the progesterone? I would be very grateful for some advice because I fell like a zombie at the moment. .... sorry for the lengthy comment.

What about when you start skipping periods??

I thought autophagy starts at 36 hours

So glad I watched this on the day I thought I would start fasting which turns out is in the day 20 box of my cycle. So happy to pace myself and wait for day one of my period. Just ordered the Fast Like a girl to read and prep for a 5day fast 😅🎉

Dr Mindy you are a blessing for women.. 🙏
I didn't hear anyone (famous 1s) give such comprehensive advice for fasting for women .. a tiny bit by Asprey
Its totally different from Men..

I did a 3 day fast right before I was supposed to get my period and never got it, that was a year ago and I still haven't gotten it back. I'm struggling with restricting/binging and sometimes just can't bring myself to eat the day after a binge.

Does anyone else get scared when day 21 comes and its recommended to eat potatoes and higer carbs (who are on a low carb lifestyle and trying to lose weight)?....

Better if you place a title for this video that is only for cicle women. I was waiting for all the video and it was not for me.😢

I'm a 44 year old woman and I had an endometrial ablation in 2017. I'm not going through menopause but I'm wondering if I should be following the formula for women with periods even though I no longer have one. Thank you!

Hello, what about fasting for women whose cycle is still here but not very regular. What to do when I start fasting on 1 day of bleeding, then all the right fasting lengths up to day 20, then no fast up to day 30, but the no bleeding? Start again as if I had 1 bleeding day? And what to do if bleeding stats again mid-month?

I am 51 and my period is unpredictable tonsay the least. I'm not sure what is ideal for someone like me. Right now I fast 14/15 hrs. I'm not gaining weight but I'm not sure how to eat.

I'm tired of plowing through her videos with promises of "wait till the end to find out how post menopausal women should fast" and never finding them. The comments sections of every video have women begging for just one video for us. Nothing! Why?

I’m thinking of starting fasting. Do you drink water throughout the day when you fast? Or do you fast from every thing?

Hello. I don't get periods anymore because of a hysterectomy in 2016.

Any advice?

How should you eat during the last week before your period?

On the 1-10 day fast, the first one. Let’s say you do a 24 hour water fast. What do you do for the rest of the days? And then on the second one you said to fast for about 15 hours is that every day? Thank you so much!!

Ovulation and one week prior aka pms week are most difficult fasting peaks in the month
Day 1-10 fast EZ fast as long as you want
Day 11-15 keep fast under 15hrs autophogy when toxins dump ovulation
Day 15-19 longer fasting is easier....3 day water fast
Day 20 - cycle starting is no fasting trying to make progesterone to stay calm, do not create more cortisol at this time " no fast zone "

QUESTION... I'm confused. So we shouldn't fast when we get our period, wait until it's over? Is that day 1 through 10 (after our period)?

This is exactly what I was looking for. Updated my notes! Thanks @DrMindyPelz !

Here in my country we count the 1 at day of the cycle is the day of bleeding… what do you mean by 1st day?)

Thank you Dr mindy! So fasting doesn't risk fertility? 🙏

I don’t get it 😢😢. Feel so dumb

52 yo on non-varied IF (16:8) for 5 years & easily keeping weight goals. After watching Mindy, i ate after 12 hrs on Sat and on Mon, I'm hungry at 12 hrs (which rarely happens) and also 3 lbs heavier (guessing water retention). Anyone else not doing well with variation? I have a period although no longer clockwork like when i was in my 40s & i expect to stop cycling in the next year or so.

Hey!! I feel like for days 20 forward I’ve heard you say different things. Some interview I thought you said it’s okay sometimes to do intermittent some times 13-15 hours during that time (week before period). Also what if you are taking a fast mimicking approach with butter coffee around hour 12-13… would it be ok during that time to go up til 15 if we feel good? Curious if doing fasting mimicking counts when it comes to this. Thanks ❤ do not want to ruin my hormones with this!

What's your advice for women with Endometriosis? Where there's always an estrogen spike? Can Endo be healed through fasting?

I have been doing 18 hour dry fasts for three years, three weeks on one week off when I’m menstruating. I have lost any weight

I have a question I want to try to do a 30 days fast well at least 20 days but I don’t know! I will see how it goes! I’m on day nine! I have some extra bleeding today! Do you think I should stop? Or can I continue?

Hello dr.mindy .can a 25 year old woman practice fasting? My weight suddenly increased after giving birth to my second child.

That's funny, because I've been able to do 18-hour+ fasts every day for weeks now; often extending the fasts into 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24 hours. I have a cycle, BTW. Last week, I did a 48-hour fast (for the first time in my life), broke it to eat a salad sandwich, and then immediately began another 48-hour fast (and somehow managed to complete it). Last Tuesday, August 22nd, I made a feeble attempt to do the 72-hour fast, but I gave up after 44 hours. Probably because I was/am only days away from my period. I wasn't hungry, but I started feeling very agitated (abnormal for me -- I'm even-keeled). I've kept up the daily 20-hour+ fasts since that day though. I did 21 hours yesterday. I'll keep trying to accomplish the 72-hour fast. I'll probably try it again next week.

OMG!! I'm on my 24th day and I didn't feel like exercising and I forced myself into it. Shoot! Knowledge is power. So, what kind of exercise should I do when my hormones are high: nothing at all or something light like Yoga or sth? Thank you for sharing this survival content!!!!!! AMAZING!

I dont understand -day 1 -is it the day we start to bleed or the after the period ends

I never know where I am on my cycle because of the mirena coil. What’s the best way to apply this method in this situation? Thank you!

Anybody can help me translate in this video to urdu language

Im not one of them but it would be interesting video about transgender people going through hormonal changes and try to fast. I guess is totally different ball game but never saw anyone posting videos about it. Could be of use to many xx

When you talk about fasting hours, when does that clock start? After each eating time or after waking. I am a diabetic who lost insurance. I am perimenapausal also.

Do tinctures break a fast? I always forget to take some during my eating window 🙄. Dandelion tincture, cayenne tincture. About 12 drops of each (not all at once), made using vodka.

People who have had historectomy but still have there ovaries can they fast 16 hours

If you are taking bio-identical hormones do you still have these shifts in hormones?

Hi, so im trying the fasting world, love your videos, find them so interesting and your enthusiasm is amazing. But im on the pill so mu 'cycle' is all over the place, i only have periods when my boby decided. How do i fit fasting for hormones around that? Thank you for your videos 🙏

I’m not trying to lose weight, Dr. Mindy. I want more energy.

I have a cycle sometimes and really irregular. What to do? I am 50

Where is the topic for Men?
