8. Fasting After 50 — How to Fast Safely and Strategically in Menopause
About this episode
Menopause doesn’t mean your metabolism is doomed—it just means the rules have changed.
In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to fast wisely in this new season so you can:
• Restore energy and mental clarity
• Lose stubborn belly fat (without wrecking your hormones)
• Sleep better and feel steady again
You’ll learn:
• Why traditional fasting advice fails postmenopausal women
• The 5-1-1, 4-2-1 Fat Loss, and 4-2-1 Progesterone-Supportive rhythms
• How to know which fasting rhythm is right for you right now
• What to pair with fasting to get the best results
This season of life isn’t a setback—it’s a recalibration. And when you give your body the right support, it responds beautifully.
