Intermittent fasting has exploded across social media over the past few years, but not enough people are talking about the potential problems with fasting…
Especially when it comes to women’s health!
The truth is, just because your favorite fitness influencer tells you they fast does NOT mean it’s best for you.
For many women, fasting leads to ignoring hunger cues, undereating, and putting unnecessary stress on the body.
In today’s episode, we cover some of the main problems with intermittent fasting for women, based on the most recent research and what we’ve seen in our clinical practices. We explain…
✔️How fasting can stress out your body (and the major consequences of this)
✔️Why fasting can be especially problematic during one specific phase of your menstrual cycle
✔️Are there any research-supported benefits of fasting?
