Title: Dr. Mindy Pelz: The Metabolic Reset Every Woman Needs

Your hormones deserve better care—and you do too.

So many women feel stuck when it comes to their health—frustrated by unexplained weight gain, unpredictable mood swings, and low energy that no diet or workout seems to fix. The truth is, our healthcare system was built around research that overlooked the female body's complexity. But the great news? There's a way to support your body that works with your biology, not against it.

In today's episode of Extend, I'm diving into how you can break free from metabolic imbalances and reclaim your energy with the right strategies for fasting, nutrition, and movement. You'll learn why women experience hormonal chaos during perimenopause and menopause—and how understanding your body's natural rhythm can make all the difference.

I'll also uncover the truth about hidden disruptors in your food and environment, like obesogens and toxins, and how they affect your ability to lose weight and stay healthy. Plus, I'll share game-changing insights on building strength, improving bone health, and balancing your hormones through strategic lifestyle changes.

Joining me is Dr. Mindy Pelz, a pioneer in women's health and the bestselling author of Eat Like a Girl. Dr. Mindy's groundbreaking work has empowered thousands of women to embrace fasting, rethink their nutrition, and overcome hormonal imbalances. As the host of The Resetter Podcast, she's built a global community dedicated to helping women live vibrant, resilient lives.

This conversation will open your eyes to what's possible when you tune into your body's innate intelligence—you won't want to miss it!
