6. Why Most Fasting Advice Fails Women (and What to Do Instead)
If fasting has ever left you anxious, inflamed, or feeling like your body just isn’t cooperating…this episode is for you.
We’re walking through the exact reason why most fasting advice doesn’t work for cycling women—and how to finally make fasting a tool for healing, not harm.
You’ll learn:
• Why women’s hormones require a different fasting approach than men’s
• What happens in each phase of your cycle—and how to adjust your fasting rhythm accordingly
• The most common fasting mistakes that leave women more depleted than energized
• How to start fasting in a way that aligns with your hormones, your season, and your stress load
Whether you’ve tried intermittent fasting and felt worse, or you’ve been too nervous to start—this episode will show you that it’s not about more discipline… it’s about better strategy.
