Fasting gets marketed to women as a cure-all—burn fat, boost energy, balance hormones—but does it hold up? In this candid chat, we unpack the claims behind Dr Mindy Pelz’s Fast Like a Girl, especially the cycle-timed fasting protocols that sound sciencey yet lack solid evidence. We break down what autophagy actually is (think Pac-Man meets kitchen demo), why extended fasts can risk muscle loss, and how exercise and smart nutrition can mimic many “fasting benefits” without the stress. You’ll hear why complexity often masquerades as credibility, how to spot marketing overreach, and what consistently works for women in the real world: protein, strength training, and routines you can actually keep.
