It's Not a Diet, It's a Quiet - Intermittent Fasting with Laurie Lewis

It just feels like as a woman, the older we get the harder it is to lose weight! And then there's all these other things happening to our body that honestly, we don't even want to talk about, but we're beyond frustrated. Well, today I've got a guest and we are talking about not one, but two hot topics, menopause and intermittent fasting. Today is part one of “It's not a Diet...It’s a Quiet” with certified health coach, Laurie Lewis, and yes, next week you will hear part two. I think you'll really be encouraged by this series on the Healthy Harmony podcast.

Here's a snapshot of what we discuss on part one...

• Menopause and the symptoms of menopause
• A brief definition of pre-menopause, peri-menopause, menopause and post menopause
• Insulin and Blood Glucose
