Fasting is not a one-size-fits-all approach. And for women, it shouldn't be.
As a trained fasting coach, I understand that it is important to work with your body's rhythms and not fight against them. It is important to support your body, no matter what life stage, so that fasting becomes sustainable.
Fasting has become one of the most talked about tools for metabolic health, but a lot of popular guidance out there was not built with women's hormones in mind. That is because men's hormones cycle almost every 24 hours, while a women can be on average 28 days.
Rigid fasting can work against your cycle, causing stress, and impact your life stage, which can leave you feeling depleted, not energized.
I trained through Dr. Mindy Pelz's Fast Like a Girlᵀᴹ course to bring a hormone-informed approach to fasting.
🌱 Understanding your hormonal landscape, including your cycle phase and whether you are peri-menopausal, menopausal or post-menopausal before recommending a fasting window.
🌱 Building flexible fasting rhythms that shift with your hormones, energy, stress levels, and social life throughout the month
🌱 Layering fasting on top of the nutrition foundation that we build together, so that it supports your metabolic health
🌱 Teaching you to read your body's signals, so you know when to fast, when to pull back, and when to eat to nourish yourself
A Holistic, Human-Centred Approach
Hormone balance across your cycle and life stage
This is not about restriction or chasing numbers on a scale. It is about learning how fasting can fit into your life to help:
Regulate blood sugar and increase metabolic flexibility
Increase energy and mental clarity
Become more intuitive around food
Assist in weight loss and management
This is for women who have tried fasting before and felt like it was working against them, or have been interested in trying fasting, but do not know where to start.
It is for anyone who is curious about fasting (regardless of gender), who genuinely wants to understand how fasting fits your unique biology, and who is ready for a personalized approach.
