Functional health expert Mindy Pelz teaches women how to utilize intermittent fasting to lose weight, balance their hormones, and feel great by timing their fasts to match their natural hormonal changes.

Is intermittent fasting the cure-all that the internet claims it is? It depends on how you use it.

Fad diets have failed women for decades because they are not customized to women's natural hormonal cycle.

Mindy Pelz is a bestselling author, functional medicine expert, and popular YouTube personality who wants to empower women to advocate for their health.

In Fast Like a Girl, Pelz outlines the 'fasting cycle,' in which women can time their fasting regimen to their menstrual cycle to achieve the best results.
