If your best efforts at healthy living still aren’t getting the results you want, this episode will set you on the right track. Dr. Mindy Pelz, author of the huge bestseller “Fast Like a Girl” is here to explain her 5 fundamentals for eating in sync with your hormones for improved energy, mental clarity, better digestion, reduced cravings, and yes, weight loss.
We dive into the wild world of hormones and cycles, and their close connection with food and mood. Confused about carbs and fat? Mindy breaks it all down––when they’re good, when they’re bad––and which ones. She teaches us how calorie counting is so yesterday and why blood sugar is the “new black.” And here’s a quiz: what drives your cravings? (a) your brain, (b) your gut. Well, you have to listen to the episode to find out! Mindy is a ball of energy––it’s obvious why we became pals, and why so many others have benefited from her passionate and fun way of making complex concepts digestible (pun intended!). This episode is your owners manual for the tune-up you’ve been waiting for.
