In this episode of The StrongHer Way, Alisha Carlson sits down with Renee Fitton to unpack one of the most talked-about wellness tools today: fasting.
But this isn’t your average intermittent fasting chat.
Together, they dive into the real science behind fasting, the differences in how men and women respond, and what every woman should know—especially during perimenopause and postmenopause.
You’ll hear about intermittent fasting, prolonged fasting, and fasting mimicking diets, as well as why women need a tailored approach based on their hormones, cycle, and recovery needs.
Whether you're fasting for longevity, metabolic health, or to improve your relationship with food, this episode gives you both the research-backed benefits and the real-life risks.
