Modern medicine treats women like defective men. It’s time to rewrite the script.
The one-size-fits-all fallacy: You’re prescribed the same medication dosage as your husband. You fast like your brother. You perform like your male colleagues, all without accommodating that your body runs on an entirely different operating system.
One that’s cyclical. Rhythmic. And largely ignored by our healthcare model.
My guest today is Dr. Mindy Pelz, a functional medicine expert, bestselling author of “Fast Like a Girl” and “Eat Like a Girl,” and a leading voice in women’s health. After witnessing thousands of patients struggle with conventional approaches to wellness, Mindy has dedicated her career to understanding why the female body requires fundamentally different strategies for healing and optimization.
“I want women to understand how powerful their body was built to be.”
– MINDY PELZ
Today, we discuss:
- The Evolutionary Mismatch of Modern Life
- Understanding the Hormonal Hierarchy
- Why Fasting Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
- Metabolic Switching & Women’s Cycles
- Menopause as Empowerment, Not Decline
For those who prefer a visual experience, the conversation is available on YouTube. As always, the audio version streams wild and free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
