If you’ve ever wondered whether fasting is your golden ticket or just another wellness trend that will leave you frustrated—this episode is for YOU.

I sat down with Renee Fitton from Prolon to break down intermittent fasting vs. fasting mimicking—and spoiler alert: yes, there’s a difference, and yes, it matters, especially if you're a woman in perimenopause or menopause.

Renee and I dove into:

  • How the Prolon Fasting Mimicking Diet gives you food and the benefits of fasting (without white knuckling your way through the day)
  • Why five days is the sweet spot for fat loss, inflammation, and muscle protection
  • What the hell “autophagy” is and why it’s like a Dyson vacuum for your cells
  • How you can turn back the biological clock—for real—in just 15 days a year
  • What happens after the 5 days (spoiler: don’t sprint to 7-Eleven for chips and wine)
  • The one big fasting mistake women over 40 keep making
  • We talked why your metabolism is not mad at you and how Prolon makes it dummy-proof with everything you need in one box. No Googling. No guesswork. Just results.

Key Takeaways:

Fasting mimicking = food without breaking the fast = results without wrecking your hormones

Too much of a good thing? Still too much. (Yes, even fasting.)

Your muscle is your metabolism. Don’t lose it trying to lose fat.

You only need to do this 3x a year for noticeable longevity and fat-loss benefits

Refeeding = just as important as fasting.
