BetterHelp is here, With You. Is your body "broken," or is it actually performing a brilliant survival mechanism? In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz, the pioneering author of Fast Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl, joins us to break down the traditional "calories in, calories out" myth. Referencing her years of clinical experience and metabolic research, Dr. Pelz explains why belly fat is often a protective response to hormonal imbalances rather than a lack of willpower. From the specific biochemical triggers of a 36-hour fast to the "Violin and Kazoo" analogy of women’s hormonal health, this conversation provides the clarity needed to optimize your biology at any age. In This Episode, We Reveal: The Autophagy Reset: A scientific breakdown of how to double cellular "cleanup" and the specific fasting windows required to initiate stem cell rejuvenation. The Brilliance of Belly Fat: Why your body stores fat around the midsection as a protective measure against cortisol and insulin, and how to signal to your brain that it’s safe to release it. The 36-Hour Healing Protocol: A deep dive into the power of extended fasts for metabolic flexibility and resetting the "weight loss thermostat." Hormones vs. Calories: Why counting calories fails most women and how to align your eating and fasting patterns with your natural circadian and hormonal rhythms. 6 Fasting Methods To Burn Belly Fat: Carnivore fasting, olive oil, and sardine fasting.
