About this Event
In this interactive class, inspired by Dr. Mindy Pelz’s book Fast Like a Girl, you will learn how to use fasting as a supportive tool for hormone balance, increased energy, fat loss, mental clarity, and overall metabolic health, while honoring your unique female cycle
In this class, you will explore:
- How women’s hormones change across the month and throughout different life stages, and why timing matters when it comes to fasting, nutrition, and exercise
- Different fasting styles and when each approach is most effective, including when NOT to fast for a female body
- What to eat during each phase of your cycle, with a focus on foods that naturally support estrogen, progesterone, and healthy detox pathways
- Safe ways to approach fasting during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond
- Common mistakes women make with fasting and clear strategies to prevent hormonal imbalance which bring symptoms of fasting that men don’t experience (hair loss, plateaus, fatigue, weight gain)
This class blends science, practical tools, and real-life strategies that help you create a sustainable fasting rhythm that works with your biology instead of against it. You will leave with an easy-to-follow plan, supportive resources, and the confidence to listen to your body’s signals and respond to what it needs.
Whether you are brand new to fasting or looking to refine your approach, this class will help you feel stronger, clearer, and more in control of your health.
