A single shift in your morning routine could change your energy, your mood, and even how you age!! And…your sex drive will improve too! Are you struggling with menopausal weight gain, endless food cravings, or feeling like your body just isn’t working the way it used to? You’re not alone. In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Mindy Pelz — leading expert in women’s health, hormone science, and fasting, and author of Age Like a Girl — exposes the truth about why women age differently, what’s really behind weight gain during menopause, and how to train your fat-burning metabolism to finally work with you, not against you. She reveals why everyone should care about women and how they age (it affects more than just women’s health!), the real causes of menopausal weight gain and how it differs from regular weight gain (and yes, it’s fixable!), how to train your metabolic system to burn fat efficiently (even after 40!), the mental health and chronic disease benefits of fasting, (especially for women in menopause), and the dangers of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement (what they’re getting wrong about your health!). Dr. Mindy Pelz also breaks down: - Fasting 101: When to fast, for how long, & how to break your fast safely - The truth about detoxing: Common toxin buildups & how to activate your natural detox pathways - Proven solutions to reverse menopausal weight gain naturally - The surprising reason older men also gain weight - How much protein & fiber you really need - Why fasting is not starving, and how to do it safely for your body type - The shocking origins of the “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” myth - Who should and shouldn’t fast, and why it isn't isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach - How processed foods are destroying your hormones (and why they’re even worse for women) - The real reason men lose weight faster than women, and how to level the playing field - Why we’re living in the most toxic time in human history, and what you can do to protect yourself - How fasting can ease menopause symptoms like hot flashes & brain fog - Why endometriosis diagnoses are rising - 3 things everyone should add to their diet right now for longevity & energy - The powerful role women are designed for after menopause (your brain actually rewires itself during this time!) - The real truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT): Who should consider it, its risks, and why it only works with key lifestyle changes - How to finally beat food cravings once and for all, without feeling deprived - Why most people are getting aging completely wrong...and how to truly age like a girl! Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or beyond, this is the information that can literally change how you age, think, and feel.
