In this podcast, Dave explores the differences in fasting experiences between men and women, shedding light on the unique challenges women face due to hormonal fluctuations throughout their menstrual cycle. Drawing from Dr. Mindy Peltz’s book "Fast Like A Girl," Dave discusses how factors like energy levels, cognition, and focus vary for women during different phases of their cycle compared to men. Dave emphasises the importance of understanding these differences to be better husbands, brothers and allies to women. The podcast highlights key points such as: • Women's hormonal changes impact energy levels, cognition, and creativity throughout their cycle, which should be considered in workplace dynamics and healthcare advice. • Certain women, such as those with eating disorders or who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should avoid fasting. • The menstrual cycle breakdown is explained, including optimal fasting times and dietary considerations for each phase. • The role of testosterone production differs between men and women, with stress affecting testosterone levels more significantly in women. • Strategies for maintaining hormonal balance, hydration, and dietary choices throughout the menstrual cycle are discussed. • The impact of cortisol and insulin on hormonal harmony is explored, emphasising the role of blood sugar regulation in overall health. There is such a complex interplay of hormones and lifestyle factors for women when fasting so helping women to understand this may help them to fast optimally.
