I feel so vindicated! I’ve been fasting since 1989, either eating every other day instead of every day, or just eating one meal a day, simply because I realised that I preferred to eat the foods I love less frequently than the tedium of calorie-counting. Every single person in my life criticised me and warned me that I was risking heavens knows what. And yet, here we are, 30 years later, and I’m proved right! I love it!
@@hilaryjoseph9706 I’m now 60 years old. Still same clothing size as when I was in my 20s, and my only health issue is arthritis, which runs in my family, so definitely not related to diet.
@@Followyourbliss-2 I alternated (over the years) between eating one fillet steak with tomatoes and lemon juice every day, once a day, and eating every other day - but eating whatever I wanted on those days. So, pasta, cream, cakes, whatever. I also always made exceptions if there were special occasions - I never made the fast more important than the occasion. If I was doing the fillet steak/tomato/lemon diet and I was invited to a birthday party of whatever, I always ate all the party food and then just returned to normal the next day. Throughout either of these two types of fasting, I drank black coffee with sugar, or coca-cola, and plenty of them. Of course I wasn’t consuming any other sugar foods, so it was doable. No diet drinks, I’d rather have real sugar than heaven’s knows what in diet drinks.
I was on Metformin for two years. It made me so sick and I was eating Pepto Bismol like smarties. My doctor changed the dose three times and I still felt sick. He also explained that I can't heal myself via diet. I threw the meds away. I gave up sugar and carbs, I did intermittent fasting, and took berberine. My glucose level is now normal, my blood pressure is now normal, and I've lost 16 pounds.
Exactly! Doctors only stay in business if they have sick patients....obviously he's not going to attempt to heal your problems because that's counterproductive! How will he make a profit if all his patients get better?
@TheanneChan get berberine mixed with cinnamon...or take berberine and add cinnamon daily to your food. Could be coffee, tea, English muffins, toast, oatmeal etc. Also bitter melon will also lower blood sugar levels
Steven, I've been watching all of your health focused videos / podcasts over and over again. It's hard to soak everything up all at one. At the beginning of this year I was 400lbs. I've lost 60lbs in the last 6 months. More importantly, I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 weeks. Offering all of this applicable knowledge has helped save my life. I'm 34 and have a three year old daughter and six year old son and I KNOW having access to this knowledge and education has assisted me to make incredible changes in my life. Thank you for all that you and your guests do. Sincerely, Matt.
In August I started intermittent fasting plus I gave up ultra processed foods and sugar. I have lost 14 lbs and my triglycerides went from 105 to 50. It’s so awesome being in control and no longer bouncing off the wall wanting junk food constantly. We need more preventative healthcare doctors instead of sick care doctors!
I used to bake my own bread, loved pasta, and, used real maple syrup and white sugar, I stopped all of that, and, it really helps. I also avoid all processed foods, and, instead of bread made with wheat flour, I eat Scandanavian rye flat bread. You also have to watch the carbs, beans are healthy but most are high in carbs, so, I switched to lentils for my soups. They are higher in protein and lower in carbs and are cheap and easy to use.
Cut sugar, carbs, seed oils, dropped 200 pounds (9 months) been 3 years and I have maintained my weight ❤ I do monk fast weekly I call it fasting Fridays❤
They have to do that way .there thousands of students graduating from med school every year so they have hide the real truth.because if they give us real truth wouldn’t be a need for doctors
In the US, eating well, fasting, caring for your body is a major act of self-rebellion because you have to deny what you have been shown and taught your whole life.
Right! I feel rebellious every day while caring for my body and mind. American capitalist culture encourages us to ignore our health, rely on gimmicks, and work in repetitive restrictive conditions.
I would say major act of societal rebellion, but yes, your comment is spot-on! 💯 Unfortunately, this rebellion separates us from friends and family and breaks apart community, so the corrupting repercussions are vast.
Good eating habits .Less medical expenses,mental depression due to ill health ,money saved on junk food excessive eating ,self discipline and mastery due to fasting!!! Catholic church has taught fasting from centuries! Viva Jesu!!
Same in Canada, it's so normal and expected to eat unhealthy and drink alcohol & pop that I feel the pressure to justify myself when I do something different. It's annoying how people are like "what's wrong how come you're not drinking, have some pizza" etc., and I notice people who justify it with cultural/religious reasons get a lot mote respect and no further pressure, meanwhile if you just say "I don't eat/drink this" people will try to convince you like you're a loser for refusing.
I have used this idea in the past. Light lunch at 11am. Light dinner at 6pm. Nothing but water in between. Plus skipped dinners completely on Weds and Sats. Walked 4miles every single day. Dropped 43 lbs in 10 months. It's been 4 years. I have only gained 5lbs over that time. My skin is healthier. I look like 33-35 yrs old when my real age is 54. Literally every parameter is in the healthy range. I feel happier, lighter, and overall the world feels a happier place.
Hi that is so lovely to hear! I am very happy for your healthier life now!! 😊 And thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤😊 May I please ask are you a woman or a man - if you don't mind me asking this. I am a woman and I find I need to eat 3 medium size healthy meals a day, at 7am breakfast, at around 12:00 or at 13:00 lunch. Then dinner at about 17:00. Then water fasting til the morning.. and that is where my ideal brain function and body function happens for me, and I am losing weight slowly with it. 🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Dr Mindy’s interview about 36 hour fast from last year on DCEO changed my life! I am 55 old trying to lose weight for more than 8 years, running 2-3 times a week 5K, eating healthy and nothing. I started fasting 36 hours every week since beginning of April and lost 16 pounds, I lost my cravings, menopausal symptoms, foggy brain and fatigue. I am a new woman, lighter, brighter, happier and healthier! Thanks a ton Dr Mindy ❤❤❤❤❤
It may work for you and I glad. But I am close to your age and lifting weights actually will make you long term toned and slim. Nothing crazy, but add some weights and I don't think unless you speak to a doctor before you stop eating 36 hours a week. Not great for your metabolism.
Great job! Add weight lifting, more muscles will prevent issues when you get older. So you can keep your energy longer even at the latter years of your life.
From a Christian and biblical perspective we are instructed to have a lifestyle of fasting, heating this from a scientific perspective is so interesting God is so great and intentional. Love this
Absolutely! I just realized this last week! (I was raised Atheist and am exploring Christianity - and learning so many things that were kept from me - as an adult).
I literally have tears in my eyes. Even if Steven will probably never read this message, I just want to say thank you from the buttom of my heart. Your podcast has changed my life. I am a 29 years old twin mom and only because of your amazing podcast and guests my life and health has changed so much. Thank you for everything! You are an amazing human being! 🤝🏽❤️
I'm grateful I found his youtube video...I can concur with how you feel...this is what's it's all about, raising the human consciousness for benefit of mankind.❤️
It sounds good/fine, but it (obviously) doesn't carry much helpful truth it itself. Salt and honey can last on a shelf till the end of time, but they are metabolized in the body in less than an hour. So, one of the next questions that arises is: so what if it lasts a long time inside the body? So what? Is it "long time in body (probably) = bad"? There's probably an explanation somewhere, and I'm not necessarily sceptical, but it really highlights the reasons I don't like such slogans.
Well the quote she said was about substances that you can't recognize when you read the label. Honey and salt we all know what is, but you buy bread and its supposed to have only 3x ingredients ( flour, water and salt, yeast starter in sourdough is also pure flour and water, nothing else) and yet the one in the shop has 20+ ingredients out of which 15 we don't have a clue. That's the point she was making and the quote summarised it perfectly.
I did a 5-day water fast and healed a lower back pain that was so debilitating I couldn’t stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and hadn’t exercised in 2 years. I lived on Aleve. I did the fast in February, and I have never had a day of pain since. I started intermittent fasting at the end of January. I have lost over 30 lbs (I started at 154 lbs). I can and do exercise now, my depression is gone and life is finally good again. I’m 67 and feel better than I did at 50. Highly highly recommend the 3-5 day water fast for healing.
I can attest to that! I've done several 3-5 day water/tea/ electrolytes only fasts and I've had healing in my body almost every time. My last fast, within 48 hours I saw an improvement in my frozen shoulder, my reach was 3 inches higher. I broke the fast but did a very strict keto for another 5 days. Then I did another 55-hour water/ electrolyte only fast And I saw more improvement. And then I continued to eat very low carb. So within just a few weeks, my frozen shoulder went from being about 40% healed to about 90% healed. They say it's supposed to take over one year to heal a frozen shoulder, but I did it in just a matter of weeks by fasting! My range of motion is almost back to normal again! Funny thing is, I was fasting to lose weight, I had no idea that it would affect my frozen shoulder. So that was a bonus!
When you do a longer fast like a 3 to 5 day water fast are you also going to work? I would think that it would be hard to do this in a working environment. I often get lightheaded, dizzy, and have zero energy to work out when I’m doing a 24 hour fast, and when I push it beyond that I spend most of the time in bed so I don’t eat when I try and go for a run which I would normally do in my daily life. I feel lightheaded and dizzy, and I reach more coffee, which makes me more tired , but I can push through that exhaustion and force myself to work out and do some strength training. I go to another realm and then all of a sudden I’m not hungry and I’m not dizzy anymore. At the end of the workout, I often feel tired, but for some stupid reason, I always end up breaking my fast at that point so that I can get something to eat and have a good day. The next day is the dumbest thing I end up doing I should just go to bed and extend my fast for the next day, but I’m always thinking I don’t wanna feel lightheaded and dizzy the next day. I’d rather have some food in my system so I can get a good workout in. But, once I break fast and I have my dinner and I go to bed I end up waking up two or three hours later and eating again and going back to bed and then the next day I’m really tired
I'm wondering how much dehydration played in this? I find many people are various degrees of dehydrated. Humans are just not drinking enough water. I encourage everyone to read The Water Cure.
I have been so grateful to a friend who wanted company to go to the bookstore looking for this book. I read some inserts from it, went home, and ordered on my E-Reader. I devoured this book and wish it would have been available when I was going through my cycles. I have been battling menopause weight for years! I started fasting like a girl 7/21/24. As of today, I have lost 21 pounds!! My goal was to be 160 when I turned 60. I will hit that goal before my birthday. 🎉 I have cut out breads, pasta, and starches that were causing a lot of weight gain and bloat! I walk 2 miles at least daily and love being outdoors, getting sun and fresh air! I will continue this lifestyle.😊 Thank you
You are motivating me at age 67. My HgA1C is 6.5! All fat goes to my belly. I’m a sugar craving gal. I can’t have it in the house. I’m going to follow your plan and force the 2 mile walks (live in MN). Thank you!
@@coolgal2287 Get off sugar first... then get a book on fasting. Like the Bible helps you to do what's right, a book on fasting will help you feel like you have support at your fingertips. 3. Start with one meal a day. You got this! 😘
French use apple cider vinegar to prepare natural sauce for salad: - half tablespoon of mustard - 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoon of oil (olive, sunflower, nut, whatever you like, I used to mix two different oils) - salt and pepper (moderately) If the taste of the vinegar is too harsh (I don't know the percentage in different countries), add a little bit of water (1 tablespoon). This is excellent for any salad.
If I may comment, I have been on Ozempic for just over a year now and have lost 46 lbs. Initially I resisted the suggestion from my Dr. to go on it, because I felt like it was cheating. However after trying dozens of times to lose weight and being a woman in her 60's who doesn't have to worry about earning a living, I felt desperate enough to do it. The results were immediate and fast. Fortunately I had minimal side effects. The thing that has fascinated me the most, though, is how losing weight has changed my life. I swim four times a week, I have continued my intermittent fasting, I feel strong and powerful in my body, and my health has vastly improved. I feel like I can do anything! So for me the combination of the Ozempic and the changes I have been able to make in my lifestyle have been empowering and I feel fantastic about myself. I'm happy I have come out of this all feeling strong and healthy. Onward and Upward!
My daughter is 54 and started ozempic about 3 months ago. Her side effects are minimal but most of the time she just doesn't feel great. She's only lost about 12 pounds. I don't know the 'normal' loss would be at 3 months, but it's a bit demoralizing considering the way she feels.
I live in Europe, i come from eastern Europe. I remember when the pre-packaged hamburger rolls arrived to us when I was a kid, my mum would warn me they could be causing cancer. They tasted weird, like plastic and sugar, so it made sense to me. Sometimes my teenage friends would buy them for a fancy evening dinner. I didn't understand what they are for in US, I couldn't imagine people would actually eat them on a daily basis. They were tasty but clearly didn't taste like actual food, I was worried they would get stuck in my gut, like some foreign object. When I was 25 I went to Canada for a student exchange and was shocked at how shitty the food was, both in supermarkets and take away. And how hard was it to find fresh food, I felt almost like some weirdo. People were shocked I was looking for a student apartment with a kitchen. For me it was the only way to actually survive. I've been reading food labels since they started appearing in my country, and I already knew that all the colorful American prepackaged food is full of junk. I never even look at those shelves in our supermarkets. Not that our packaged food is great, but I still believe there's a tendency. It's so unfair to people who grew up in that reality of processed only food, I think when you grow up like this, you don't realize all this, as it is all you know. I feel so lucky to consider a cucumber picked up from a field a regular thing rather than some "fancy" organic expensive food. It seems there's some stigmatization or aura of magic/specialness assigned to a desire to eat healthy organic food in US? I think maybe it's nothing special, it's the other way round - it's just that your regular food is junk 🙈 I don't understand how that's even legal tbh. And very sorry for all the people who are tricked into fighting with their weight because of it. I know many people in Europe don't think about this topic as much as me. Many also buy the American packaged food. I think the more east the more aware people are however. And of course we also have obese people. But I can't imagine not becoming fat if I had to live in Canada longer. I put on 5kg in 3 months while I was there, and lost it as soon as I came back, with no effort. I however developed digestive issues afterwards hmm.. I felt miserable health wise in Canada, and I know it was the food.
Same story here. One of the first skills I taught to my kids, was cooking. I cook every day, so they see that is a proper way of life keeping them healthy.
My group mate from the university was always small and skinny. One year, she went to the US for summer and she came back FAT. I mean, really. I didn't even recognize her the first time I saw her - I recognized her boyfriend though, and I thought he was cheating on her. And she lost everything she gained there within the next few months, doing nothing special, she just got back to "normal" food.
My daughter went to Turkey and raved about the amazing food. A friend of hers moved to Georgia(the country) because the food there made her feel better.
@@bykatesemeniuk Fat in one summer is an appalling weight gain!!! How irresponsible of the USA! I'm dead serious here. People treat me like garbage when I talk about the evils of sugar...
64 years old, started the program after hearing your first podcast with dr. Mindy. One little comment hooked me. Depriving diets were never sustainable but I could think, ‘I’ll just wait till tomorrow’. It worked! Lifestyle change, not just a program! Dropped 16 lbs so far.
Dr. Mindy. I have so many questions. How can I reach out to speak with you about your program. I need a Dr. Like you. I live in New England. I am from NH. Please help
@patriciaclay7775 *I want to lose 50lb* rather than I need to. Your language and how u speak to yourself is important. As mentioned the way cortisol acts in your body can make it hard to lose weight. So if you talk to yourself more positively then you will probably lose it 'easier' @@patriciaclay7775
@@mariannwest8909are you drinking enough water? Are you eating healthy foods during your eating window? Avoid processed sugars and unhealthy oils etc..
I suffered a massive emotional trauma last year to the point i really FELT my heart break in a million pieces... Not only did i struggle everyday to make it through for my family ,i could not even drink water on most days..i lost 40 lbs of this weight i had gained during the pandemic, without even realising it. Listening to Dr.Mindy i now realize i was fasting and thats the reason i lost all the weight, and my ulcerative colitis dissapeard. This lady is GOLD and God broke the mold when He created her!❤❤❤❤
My mom was the best and taught me how to eat properly. She cooked from scratch! If we were hungry before dinner , too bad, she gave us a carrot then told us to wait and play outside, period. We then played outside more. After dinner we had one snack like fruit, nuts or buttered bread. Cookies or cake was for birthdays or holidays only. Soda as well, they were treats. All I see now in the aisles are processed crap. My husband and I eat lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs, some dairy, some carbs but good ones like brown rice , oatmeal. Of course some condiments in moderation. Full fat dressing. Our cholesterol is in normal range and our glucose levels. Weekends we go out once for whatever we want. That’s it. We are within our bmi, we work out. Dumbbell work outs, walk our dog. We’re in our late 50’s. And drink water throughout the day. We keep it simple.
42 female. 3 months into “Fasting like a Girl” life style changes and couldn’t be happier. Stomach circumference has gone down half if not more, the constant feeling of bloating is gone. Lost 15lbs and currently working on building muscle through HIIT. Thank you Steven for introducing me to Dr Mindy!!!
I haven't purchased the book yet but is it for a certain age or all aged womens. Im in my 50's and was just wondering if its mainly for the younger girls
@@traceypanton902 it is based highly on cycling women BUT she teaches so many other concepts or “tools” like she calls them for us to understand how our bodies work. If you have younger women in your life you care for, then it’s totally worth it for both helping others and yourself.
@@reinformedHe is not scared about inviting women, not like most of other male channels do: who just bring mates to explain cause their public is mostly men Another reason to love his channel as a woman 💜
This woman is phenomenal, as a dad of 3 girls an ex wife and approaching 50, I have learned a great deal from this video! I won't elaborate but this has been educational. Kia KAHA!
My husband had difficulties with fasting long hours and wasn’t losing weight. Ozempic helped him “kick start” the weight loss and became accustomed to not eating which led to longer fasting windows and portion control. He lost cravings for sweets during this process. In 3 months he lost 12-15 lb. All these things would have happened without Ozempic, however, it made it easier for his brain to adjust. After 3 months he quit Ozempic because his body allowed him to fast without the irritability and cravings (not to mention cost). 9 months later, he does OMAD 4-5 days a week and the other days he has a 6-7 hour eating window. Best of all he gained control. 9 months later ( without Ozempic), he lost about 25-30 lb and gained muscle. He went from waist size 38” to 34”. Bottom line,,, each person has strengths and weaknesses, do what works to get you to where you need to be. ❤❤❤
I’m not even sure if fasting works for me or not. But I can say that I am one of the people who lost weight eating 6 small meals a day. I guess different things work for different people.
While yes different methods may work, I can say with confidence as a 54 yo woman with type 2 diabetes for 44 years (since age 10)...6 small meals worked when I was young for a time but 20 years ago that no longer applied. Over time eating any carbohydrate and yes that includes fruit, eating every few hours will cause insulin resistance. Your body now is producing too much insulin all day long. Eating a carb requires insulin and then your sugar drops necessitating the need to eat once again. Once that cycle is broken by a low carb diet and fasting you are no longer hungry every few hours. It saved my life and got me off all diabetic meds and insulin. No more high cholesterol or high blood pressure. I never count a calorie and I eat until satiated. 4 years of this lifestyle and going strong 😊 115@Blessed1985
Dr Mindy is my inspiration, I have been fasting for almost 6 years I used to be 165-170 pounds, on medication for blood pressure asthma joint pains etc, I fallowed a different doctor before but when I heard DrMindis talk about fasting and women, it made my journey a thousand times better, her recommendation about 3 day fast , at least 3 to 4 times a year is good, all her concepts about fasting is easy to follow, I am now 71 , leading a very active life Zumba 3 times a week, resistance training 3 times a week one chill day, medication free 😂thank you Dr Mindy
I have sent a link to that video to all the women in my life, sisters, daughters and friends cousins etc. Dr Mindy is the epitomy of a caring Dr and what if all doctors were like her- Wow we would eradicate 60 per cent of disease.
Thanks for sharing. I have arthritis on my knee joints, and my back is killing me. I will follow this fasting and eating healthy routines and believe I will get my life back. Thanks for sharing
I have been diagnosed with a fatty liver. my doctor gave me no advice nothing, so I started researching and I am so grateful this channel exists. Thank you for helping us. I have been keeping up with intermittent fasting for 2 weeks now and in my first week I lost 3kg. It is not just to lose weight, I want to make it a lifestyle, to reverse my fatty liver and live craving free life. Thank you guys so much.
@@finswimesse I’m getting there. I did 24 hours 3 times so far and after new years I will increase and my goal is to have 10 day fast for a full benefit, but gradually :) in 5 weeks I lost 10kg! I cut sugar and barbs such as bread and grains and all, eating nutritious food full of fiber,l and protein and results are incredible! I have less and less pain in my liver. I have almost adapted to my new lifestyle and I shall follow the path beyond my recovery. The internet in an amazing resource! Wish everyone happy new year!
I bought her book even though I’m a man. I thought it would be wonderful for me to learn and also share the knowled to my sister, mother and friends around me. I hope her works can be translated into different languages so lots more people can experience health life!! Thank you DOAC and Dr. Mindy Pelz!!
2 month ago my weight was 105kg. I startet to reduce sugar to 12g per day max. Eating window of 4 hours, Salat, meat, cheese. Seets, healthy bread etc... After 2 month I lost 15 kg and I lost hunger... 24 hours no eating? No problem any more... These videos changed my life... Better sleep and more energy... Just amazing. I still enjoy occasionally a peace of cake or some other "unhealthy" stuff.. But just as a treat. And this works for me Perctly.
@@bintanwar I am down to 80kg now. I even reduce my method and still loosing weight. I still eat only in a 4h window a day. Sugar reduced to around 15g per day. More howl food. Cooking by myself, a lot of different nuts and vegetables. But more and more I allow myself more flexibility. My plan was never too loose weight but rather life more healthy. And that helped me indeed. More energy, less back pain better sleep 🥰 Edit: no sport btw 🫣
I started intermittent fasting at age 66 because I was hungry too many times during the day. I was not overweight. I wasn't eating bad food because my immune system doesn't tolerate the chemicals, flavorings or colorings in today's food. At age 72 I am only eating twice a day and believe I am better all around. My hunger all day long went away!!
I credit Mindy for my 51 pound weight loss and for just teaching me the method of these fasts. YOU, Mindy Pelz, don't give yourself enough credit for what you have done for ALL women who have learned from you. You Rock women!! Love all that you have done and continue to do!!!❤🎉
@@amandaamossaa I've been learning from Jonathan Otto and Dr Bryan Ardis, Dr Nathan Crane, Dr Ed Group, Dr Henry Ealy, Dr Lewis and so many more. For at least 18 months or more. And it's been a road of enlightenment and discovery how we can heal our bodies.... Good luck with your goals and plans👌🎈
Dr Mindy changed my life Your first podcast with her was an awakening & I shared it with hundreds & bought both her books Fast like a Girl healed me because I used the tools I learned from it & now this new podcast reiterates the why & how fasting works Thank you Thankyou for making Dr Midys work even more global & accessible to more I love all your podcasts You do amazing work Steven🤗😁🙏 A very happy listener from New Zealand😁
Most people don't realize how obsessed with & addicted to eating and food they are. I'm considered thin &/ fit but feel terrible when I eat too much, eat grain, dairy & sugar and have spent my entire life dealing with chronic health issues. Weight is only part of the story and humans need to stop assuming that thin people are healthy. The worst things adults ever said to me as a skinny kid were things like "you can ear whatever you want". NOBODY should ever eat whatever they want. It's such a toxic message. I think this is why people "outsource their power". Very powerful concept.
Dr. Mindy…I’m down 95 lb w clean keto/IF. Huge shoutout to you for writing fast like a girl. You gave me the tools to get here. It was hard BUT so worth it. Honestly, it helped me develop the mental tenacity to tackle some really hard things in my personal life. Fasting gave me confidence to know that I’m capable of doing not only hard things but things that most say are impossible.
Wow! Loved this podcast. I’m type 2 diabetic, overweight with PCoS and I’ve learned more from this incredible woman than I have from my Doctor in 30 years. Thankyou for asking the profound questions too
Most of the time you can heal type 2 diabetes by following a diabetic and eliminating all chemical foods, sugars, bad oils and drinking lots of water. Eating organic. It's called eating whole foods and. Fasting. Medical person here
As a European, living in a country that really regulates what food is - a lot of this is a US problem; but the lessons are still hugely valuable for the rest of the world as well. ❤❤
EU - has a lot of hidden sugar in things eg bread in some countries and at the moment still falsely labelled some so-called ' eco' products - due to change this year apparently...
I agree that we have it better than the US in some ways. But our grocery stores are also full of GMO foods. We also have that apeel shit on some of our vegetables. We are moving away from what’s healthy.
You are an amazing human being. Your RUclips videos bring order to my life. Thank you. I am a survivor of severe emotional child abuse. It never goes away. My own mother was my abuser and my only sibling was manipulated by her to abuse me also. Enough of that. I have always had to read books to understand myself, my life and how to navigate life. She taught me absolutely nothing but she did apologize on her death bed for how she treated me. That only let me know that she knew she was hurting me. I forgave her. Now I am alone in the world and I’m scared all the time. When I listen to your podcast it brings peace because now I have answers that my patients should have given to me. I’m 67 years old now but I still feel like a kid. I have dual personalities and I know you understand why. I have no friends because I don’t trust people but I have a great time interacting with people. I don’t have company. This podcast is a game changer for me. I am morbidly obese because I stress eat. The doctor said food and exercise are tool we can use to create our own toolbox for our own health. It’s just little words attached to concepts that make a difference. So now I know about fasting and how I can fix my obesity situation. I want to live a long time. I want a do over so I can live like a champion. I have no family nor a support system so people like you are a huge part of helping me understand what I should have gotten from a supportive family. I’m going to get my Libby Library app and find fast like a girl and follow this doctor so I can heal my obesity. I’m also taking an online course to become a certified personal trainer, a nutritional couch and a corrective exercise specialist. I want to help people who have been abused but specifically help people understand how they need to fuel and exercise their bodies so they don’t deteriorate as they age. I’m thankful for this podcast because it is a roadmap to where I’m trying to go. I hope to be invited on your show one day. What an honor it is to be on your platform to bring truth to the world that is hidden by our agencies that are supported to keep us safe except for their desire for money. So thank you and God bless you and your family. I so much wiser because of you.😮😢🎉🎉❤
I'm one of those you should talk to about Ozempic. Intermediate fasting was working for me, then I let an endocrinologist talk me into it. I knew better, but at 67, having never really done much prescription drugs, I was hopeful. Worse decision of my life. Now...I'm finally getting my digestive system back, hopefully. It has taken 7 months to get almost back to my normal. This is great info thst my dad taught in the 1960s. He would like you so much.
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. I'm 49 and I've just survived a year of grief, physical mobility issues, chronically ill husband and I'm now menopausal with 12kg of excess weight with a yoyo bloating 37-40" waist that my doctor has told me to lose (without guidance). I'm tired, foggy, sad, lethargic and feel disconnected from people. It's time for a change. My IF journey starts today 😊
go for it! stick with it. its hard at first, but you can do it! it changes your life. i dont know how people manage life feeling so sluggish. when i go off the fasting, i always regret it and feel awful
IF is great but if you research carnivore or ketovore woe you will be amazed. I have never lost weight before now but carnivore works. I am 46, with Hashimoto's and was pre diabetic. No more pre diabetic, lowered my BP and feel amazing.
I've just recently started intermitten fasting to manage my weight, hormones and diabetes ... I'm only 3 weeks in and I have noticed the difference. I have more energy levels at work, the initial hunger pangs have gone I dont feel as bloated and sluggish, my motivation levels have improved, I dont have brain fog during the day, I dont crave sugar anymore, and I've started going back to the gym. I dont have breakfast or lunch I have dinner early in the evening and it's working for me. I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
I love her. Her advice has changed my health immensely. I began intermittent fasting and lost 60 lbs in under a year. My chronic pain went away, my fatty liver was no more, my skin tags went away, and other annoyances went away as well. I can’t thank fasting enough. I didn’t have to reduce calories-I just had to change my eating window!!! It has killed the food noise I used to deal with and I no longer have guilt or fear around food! I also crave healthier foods and processed foods aren’t as attractive to me anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I still consume them sometimes. I am still a modern human, after all. But my life looks SO different now than before I found this woman!!!!
Amen. I hope she never gets rid of the forehead wrinkles. Everyone looks puffy. Just age gracefully. I do what I can to avoid them but once they’re there: embrace them.
Next to every hospital there should be a health clinic where 'patients' should be referred to specialists like this amazing lady to retrain themselves and be empowered to take charge of their health. This dream clinic will include nutrition training, yoga, weigt lifting, functional training, dance, counselling etc. She nailed it when she said that doctors prescribe medicines with no consideration of a more holistic approach. When my dad died suddenly relatively young I felt so betrayed as I realised he was a victim of a lack of information, and lack of support for 50 year old smokers back in the 90s. Then seeing my mum a few years ago going from chemo to chemo swallowing so many pills with no doctor offering a programme of exercising, counselling or quitting smoking nothing made sense. I love all these programmes now that help us with our mindset against everything we are bombarded with. But still... there is so much that needs to be done for the younger generation who live on sugar and processed food.
Really great interview! I love her support for the “regular woman”. The diagnostic methods of looking at the whole body - feet, eyes, nails, hair, skin, menstrual blood flow, tongue coating ect is all based on Classical Chinese medicine diagnostic techniques. All classically trained Chinese medicine practitioners do this in their practice all day. We combine those objective findings with the patients subjective experience and treat people, not symptoms. I would love to see you interview any leader in the field of Chinese medicine - for example, Heiner Fruehauf or Jeffrey Yuen, would be an amazing addition to to your show as opposed to primarily interviewing internet celebrities who have a lot of airtime already. Chinese medicine is a thousands year old comprehensive evidence based medical system, I would love for it to have more airtime.
My Korean mom taught me all about cooking and eating real foods when I was growing up, and those principles stayed with me throughout all these years. I pair this with consistent workout activities that keeps my body moving, building and maintaining muscles, bones, cardio, etc. Blood work numbers are optimal. My mom just turned 80 years young and is still the energizer bunny…still push mowing her lawn, shoveling snow, landscaping for her clients, etc. She amazes her doctors. I am almost 57 years young and feeling great. Love my animal proteins from land, air, and water, with my favorite veggies and fruits. I fast when I sleep. 😊 Following old school ways and principles works extremely well. ❤
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve seen a number of RUclips clips for Dr Mindy and read her book, but never before has the message of self empowerment through fasting landed so strong. ❤
Watch this because I was bored. I started fasting im on day four on 16:8 or longer and I've losted 4lb and had a serotonin rush in work. I felt amazing, thank you very much. ❤
Are you still on it? I just watched this today, and I’ll start the 16 hours no eating, 8 hours of eating a day. How do you feel now, and are you still on the 16/8?
I read the book and followed the protocol. I am 44 years old and have lost 15lbs in 3 months by fasting 16:8, walking 10k steps a day, and removing all processed foods including added sugar to my diet. I also reduced my alcohol intake by 90%. I feel amazing and I am halfway to my goal of 30lbs. Something I havent been able to achieve in over 10 years of yo-yo dieting. Thank you, Dr. Pelz for sharing this information with the world and Diary of a Ceo as I have been consuming all the health experts information on your show and have changed the way I look at food and my health. I finally feel confident in my ability to reach my goal and it wasnt even hard! It just took the knowledge of what to do, consistency, and BAM results!
Thank you for this podcast, such important information! As a health "freak" since I was 15, 44 years and going, I'm excited to hear people like Dr Mindy speak! As a postmenopausal woman I am in the process of figuring out my hormonal landscape. I just moved to Turkey 3 months ago, I love the fresh farmers market I get to shop at once a week. Colorful imperfect fruits & vegetables with the dirt still gracing the skin. Thank you for empowering & educating!
Since the last time Dr. Pelz talked about intermittent fasting with you, I've lost two dress sizes, (using 18/6 time and occasional 24/36 hrs) look and feel like a million dollars girl :), and I am now the biggest advocate for her fasting methods
I did 18/6 because of heartburn. Was surprised when people told me I'd lost weight. It never dawned on me the reason why my clothes were falling off me. I did find my desire for foods lessened and my taste buds changed. But I also found when the doctor took my blood pressure, I would sit for a minute thinking about petting my cat. Didn't have to actually do it, just think about it. My b/p has been perfect when it gets measured.
@@Maggie-zr2ow I found the previous interview more detailed about fasting, talking about the different fasting options and what it does to the body. Def watch that!
I just started watching and I am already in tears. "Crying like a girl" We have been waiting for this information for so long. I love you both. You are great 👍 on so many levels. ❤❤❤ Thank you again ❤❤❤
Thank you for inviting Dr Mindy back. I started IF after watching her speak on your programme just about a year ago - she speaks with such compassion, clarity and inspiration that got me started on this IF journey while also not being too hard on oneself (ie. be flexible) and have lost 8 kg thus far. Kudos to this channel Steve and also a big shout out to Dr. Mindy
This episode definitely came at the right time in my life. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and since I lost both my parents recently to stage 4 liver cancer I have really been trying to make changes in my everyday life. Thank you for having her on, the information she shared was so informative and easy to digest! I loved her concept of the toolbox and the way she broke it down. I'm off to purchase her books now!
I have just been diagnosed with fatty liver, as well. I don’t have any weight to lose and my alt & ast are very low. I am afraid to eat. I was already clean eating but am thinking of carnivore for 90 days for a reboot and see what affects me. Good luck to you.
Started fasting on september 2023, 14h, 16h , 18h then 24h , step by step, now fasting 36h , 48h and once a month 62h , lost 23 kgs so far. It’s amazing , thank you Dre Mindy from Montréal, Canada!!
Wow I’m on the minute where he’s asking about how to accommodate the phase where the woman feels like staying on the couch …. Not his words but still …. LOVE HIM! That was 😢❤extremely mindful and kind and it was everything.
i lost 28 kg in 6 months with keto and intermittent fasting and I never felt better. My skin cleared up, I struggle with insulin resistance and my results went back to normal levels as well.
Keto has amazing results short term BUT long term it has negetive effects. The best long term diet by far is a whole plant SOS free diet, with an 8 to 10 hour eating window every day. That's a tough call so I always fall off the wagon on a faily regular basis. But with a water only fast a couple of times a year, it manages to keep me lean where it matters - visceral fat. Fasting is an effective way to keep fit, if combined with consistent exercise
I started fasting more than a year ago and dropped 11 kilos and my perioral dermatitisis gone, I also eat wholefoods which allow me to fast better. Then hubby jumped onboard, he was sceptical at first but he now loves it and lost 20 kilos. Some friends also tried after us and they all lost their tummy fat and find it incredibly sustainable. Thank you Mindy for the great teachings 😊
The best interviews ever. Your questions are the ones that I don't ask my doctor because he doesn't have time. Your questions may have saved my life. Was the catalyst for getting my liver checked. Fasting has benefited me immensely. Thanks
My life has changed after I learned how much the food we buy is processed and affect our life. After quitting most of the heavily processed food my overall health and psychology is much better now. Thank you Steve for making everyone learn about healthy lifestyle. We're trying to do the same in our podcast channel.
Yes! It puts you in a BETTER MOOD not to eat the things that plop out of conveyer belts! 80% of you eat that and the whole lot of you are BIPOLAR and CRAZY
I'm a male 68 . Struggled with type 2. Had success on Keto to control it but don't always feel great going low carb running on Keytones all the time. I'm having a gift from God right now or if you prefer an ah ha moment . I've fasted and felt better during fasting I just felt better and didn't crave sweets but broke my fast with low carb. Some higher carb whole food like garbanzo beans and some fruit with protein actually feel good to eat. What I'm hearing is that it's OK TO SWITCH. Between ketone burning and carb burning . I feel empowered.
Dr Mindy Pelz has changed my life, for the better. She has taught me so much and introduced me to IF. I will forever be grateful. Lost weight, no more inflammation, pre-diabetes gone, no more sugar cravings, the list goes on
IF has changed my life! I’m 57 and post menopausal and this is the only that’s helped me lose weight in years!! I’ve lost 15lb in one month. I fast 18hrs from midnight to 6pm the next day. I do bodybuilding workout at the gym in the morning and work in the afternoon finishing at 7 or 8 in the evening. It’s easy to fast this way while I’m busy at the gym and work. I have less foot pain from plantar fasciitis (menopausal hormone issue). It seems to be regulating my hormones. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙏♥️
Oh ladies this is me. I’m in HRT. My brain fog is horrendous and I can’t seem to find much info in the book for us older ladies? You are doing amazing and my journey starts here. Xx
I've stopped drinking alcohol for 2 years going onto 3... It's made a big difference in my health now I need to do fasting bcoz I'm obese n my feet hurts but no swelling anywhere on my feet or hands. Tysm for the answer's ❤ Cheers I'll get back in 3months :-)
Loved this conversation and interview! I have been intermittent fasting for 2 years after being diagnosed with high blood pressure and being overweight and it has changed my life! After about a year I dove deeply in the foods that I was eating and switched to more Whole Foods and organic. Recently I have learned more about fermented foods and how to build up the good bacteria in my gut microbes. My blood pressure regulated itself and at my last checkup my Dr said everything looked perfect in my labs and bloodwork. Thank you to every single Dr, researcher, and podcaster that is fighting for people against the food and drug administration and for getting information out to the people. I agree we have to change the food industry and how it is regulated.
So sadly, I don't think that will happen. Us getting addicted or poisoned by bad food and eating badly, then getting sicker and sicker are two huge money spinners. :(
I wish they would have teached me this as a child. I was skinny when i was 15 gained a lot of weight over the years and was never realy able to get it of. But i started to learn so much by listening to your potcasts that i turned my life around. The only working points are exercise more and quit smoking. But one step at a time. Just ordered machine to mesure my ketones and gonna try to fast longer then 12 hours. Everything starts to make sence. It gives me the idea to make a book for children with all this advice. So parents can teach there kids and also learn from it themselves. Keep up the good work!
Calorie restriction doesn't work for me but fasting does. I've had a few goes at it over the years and it's always helped me lose weight. I'm doing 16:8 now everyday. On a good day when I'm busy when I'm at work which is at least 3 days a week I push that out to 18:6 and quite often 19:5. This is what works for me (I've been doing this now for a year and I've lost around 15kg in that time) and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life. This video just emphasises to me that I'm doing good for myself. I'm 50 now and I hope that this will help me to be as healthy as possible as I age.
For anyone who hasn't started fasting and is thinking "but I'll feel starving all day", just try this. Protein shake or any very very low carb breakfast with at least 30g of protein. Eating it first in the day will help keep you feeling full for longer. See how many hours you go before feeling hungry. When you are hungry eat loads more protein. Try and go an hour extra each day before eating another meal (only if you don't feel hungry). It might take a while but your body adjusts (better than drastic changes that you are less likely to stick with). In less than a week I got to 17 hours no food without even thinking about it. Good luck.
I make a decision of starting fasting 7 months ago and I have been able to keep my routine 2 days per week no food for 24 hours and I feel healthy and workout daily, i don’t eat junk but I do it because I’m not 30 anymore. I follow her tips and trust me it works
Growing up Muslim, every year we did it. I remember as a teenager going to school all my teachers and kids gave us such a hard time practicing our faith and gave us trouble when we fasted. God commanded us to fast during the holy month of Ramadan. From dawn to sunset no food or water for 30 days. Every year Muslims walk away not only feeling closer to God but physically we all feel great, acne gone, mental clarity and so much energy. All the prophets of God fasted.
Non-Muslim here: I remember feeling a little sorry for my Muslim friends who had to fast during Ramadan. Then intermittent fasting came into vogue. After this, I then remember a conversation w Muslim friend about health benefits, & how much of their family/friends lost weight & felt healthier during Ramadan. 'Interesting point. 😊
Ameen. My oldest son just started participating in the full Ramadan this year. I came here to talk about this. I feel like our community could learn a bit from western science on how to optimize fasting and adhere more to the original tenets. I think a lot of people gorge themselves at iftar and even suhoor (at least in Morocco). We went to a restaurant once and the amount of food piled up was shocking. So much waste
Hey Stephen. Another great guest with a powerful and accurate view. Im 65 my wife 59. We have struggled with weight loss. We have been taking Mounjaro (similar to ozempic) Dr Minzi is fantastic and her ideals are sound but heres a thing we have discovered. Since injecting we have lost weight beyond our wildest dreams. But. There is an expression used called food noise. We have experienced this. Without this noise it has allowed us to learn so much about our shocking food intake without interuption from (food noise) which is for life. For us this is an exit from Mounjara
Dr. Mindy was the first person who made the idea of fasting exciting for me. It took me a while to really get into it, but I do fast for almost a year now (18:6 most of the time, every day), mainly on carnivore diet (not strict by any means), and I feel the healthiest, happiest I've ever been. What a great podcast for anyone who wants to improve their lives. Loved it!
16/8 fasting since Jan. Went from 17.1st to 14.8 (32 lbs). Don’t do it every night as I work in sales and often take clients for dinners. Still drink alcohol although I have massively cut down on the day to day casually drinks here and there. Exercise on average 3 times a week (gym or biking). Cut down processed foods (still eat some but not frequently l) Still have a takeaway or a drinking session with mates on occasion so I never feel like I’m missing out. Feel great and it’s sustainable. Most importantly the area where I’ve lost the most fat is stomach. It’s now almost flat. I’m 41 with a young family and work away a lot. I can’t recommend fasting enough. Good health to all
WOW 😊 Never been a fan of Dr. Mindy - her positive reinforcement and enthusiasm, at times, got too overwhelming. But this podcast and the subtle discussion, I'm a believer and a fan 🙏🏻 My journey started on 16 December 2021. Starting at 101 KGS, had wanted to get better as I had been obese all my life. 6mobths later, a shadow of my former self, waist down from 40 inches to 34 inches and weighing 68-70 KGS 😁 A combination of OMAD and PALEO worked for me. Added in half a dozen 36 hour and 48 hour fasts. And one 72 hour water fast that turned out to be 100 hours - because of ONE BULLETPROOF COFFEE 😂 My observation - besides the fat loss, White spots on nails disappeared. My scalp recovered and dandruff was a thing of the past. My hair have been naturally oily and shiny, not greasy. Coming back to Dr. Mindy, thank you. I am now an official member of the Mindy Project Fan Club 😊 Thank you Doc 🙏🏻
That’s great news it’s helped you! I think I’m over thinking fasting. I did fast 2 days ago 16:8 but then yesterday felt like my hormones needed eggs for breakfast so I did. But today I’m thinking I can fast again…I’m still figuring it all out.
@@LadiesofPurposeTV take small steps and add an extra hour. Drink water to keep you going. I used to think i couldn't survive without breakfast but can successfully fast until 14:00 hrs or 15:00 hrs. I drink water in between if I feel hungry. A 30-60 minutes regular fast paced walk accelerates weight loss results.
I Dry Fast min of 20 hrs - 23 hrs everyday. I love this lifestyle. Food has no power over me. Before I started fasting I used to get the jitters & light headed if I don't eat every 4 hrs. Now, I'm not hungry all day and it also saves a lot of money on food. Fasting is FREE! You don't have to attend meetings or buy certain food. I just love it. My main goal is to maintain a healthy weight & to live a long healthy life.
'Learn how to read the ingredient list'. That is a true eye opener. Just to hear this sentence can change the entire food intake routine . Thank you. ❤❤❤
I now do the intermittent fasting. I have lost 25 lbs. I feel impowerd because I did it myself with out drugs, Doctors input . I realized that I can have a huge amount of control over my weight and overall health. I am 70 years old. My GURD and irritable bowel disease are under control now. I was able to remove 3 prescriptions I was taking each day. Now that’s empowerment!
The biggest thing I learnt from this amazing woman is eating, fasting, and exercising sync with hormonal fluctuations. This was the game-changing silver bullet!
@@noeldeal8087 Whilst men have a 24-hour hormonal cycle (short summary: testosterone peaks in the morning and tapers down for the rest of the day and resets overnight), women have a 28 day hormonal cycle. For two weeks oestrogen is on the rise, and then peaks alongside 24 hours of testosterone in the mix and a dash of progesterone. This peak in the hormonal cycle is when a woman is ovulating. The female body has built this hormonal cocktail so that the woman gets laid (peaking oestrogen + testosterone = horny) and the hormones can facilitate a fertilised egg to implant itself on the uterine wall. Once pregnant, a whole new slew of hormones come in alongside lots of rising progesterone. When a woman doesn't get pregnant, she also experiences a rise in progesterone. That's why the symptoms the 1-2 weeks before your period is due can be similar to pregnancy symptoms. Increased appetite, emotional sensitivity, inability/aversion to high intensity workouts, etc. Once your period arrives the progesterone drops and oestrogen begins to rise once more, and the cycle begins again.
You are all a real inspiration. This is what I need to do. My so-called gastro specialist was one of the "fasting destroys your gut" folks. I was put onto a 6-small-meal-a-day diet for 6 weeks to reset my stomach and help my gastritis. That diet was awful. I have never felt SO sluggish. I felt like it had done me more harm than good, but everyone looked at me like I was crazy, and I am now at my heaviest weight (need to lose 15kg). Thank you Steven, Dr Pelz, everyone commenting on this podcast.
Remember Dr keep uou coming back. I too have suffered fro. Gastritis. But all the carbs from that diet was too much for me. Thd medic field is just starting to understand to second brain (stomach). Digestion system.
Thank you for having Mindy on again! She has taught me and others so much. I bought fast like a girl when it came out and I've ready it 2 times over,shared it with 3 other women who were struggling with weight or peri menopausal issues. The passion she has,the encouragement she gives,the education she provides is everything! I've made great personal changes for myself and I thank her and you for for the great information and the amazing guest you bring on to your podcast!
A big thanks to Dr. Mindy, Jason Fung and Jamnadas ! These guys just made me go from feeling sick to being mentally and physically stable. Did a three day water fast and continued with OMAD subsequently. Went from 72kgs to 59 kgs ! Strong and consistent! The change is just fabulous. Great job DOAC on bringing such people! Consider Dr. Jamnadas too !

How do you choose the winners 🏆 🤔
I feel so vindicated! I’ve been fasting since 1989, either eating every other day instead of every day, or just eating one meal a day, simply because I realised that I preferred to eat the foods I love less frequently than the tedium of calorie-counting.
Every single person in my life criticised me and warned me that I was risking heavens knows what.
And yet, here we are, 30 years later, and I’m proved right! I love it!
What are some benefits of fasting that you experienced over the 30 year period
@@hilaryjoseph9706 Mental clarity, non-bloating, less inflammation, flat belly.
Please explain… What kind of food did you eat when you did and did you indulge in any junk food and what is your outcome in health and weight?
@@hilaryjoseph9706 I’m now 60 years old. Still same clothing size as when I was in my 20s, and my only health issue is arthritis, which runs in my family, so definitely not related to diet.
@@Followyourbliss-2 I alternated (over the years) between eating one fillet steak with tomatoes and lemon juice every day, once a day, and eating every other day - but eating whatever I wanted on those days. So, pasta, cream, cakes, whatever.
I also always made exceptions if there were special occasions - I never made the fast more important than the occasion.
If I was doing the fillet steak/tomato/lemon diet and I was invited to a birthday party of whatever, I always ate all the party food and then just returned to normal the next day.
Throughout either of these two types of fasting, I drank black coffee with sugar, or coca-cola, and plenty of them. Of course I wasn’t consuming any other sugar foods, so it was doable. No diet drinks, I’d rather have real sugar than heaven’s knows what in diet drinks.
I was on Metformin for two years. It made me so sick and I was eating Pepto Bismol like smarties. My doctor changed the dose three times and I still felt sick. He also explained that I can't heal myself via diet. I threw the meds away. I gave up sugar and carbs, I did intermittent fasting, and took berberine. My glucose level is now normal, my blood pressure is now normal, and I've lost 16 pounds.
What’s a good barberine ?
Exactly! Doctors only stay in business if they have sick patients....obviously he's not going to attempt to heal your problems because that's counterproductive! How will he make a profit if all his patients get better?
@TheanneChan get berberine mixed with cinnamon...or take berberine and add cinnamon daily to your food. Could be coffee, tea, English muffins, toast, oatmeal etc. Also bitter melon will also lower blood sugar levels
What brand berberine you use
@@TheanneChanBerberine is a herb. It does the same as Metformin BUT it doesn't ruin the gut nor does it deplete B12.
Steven, I've been watching all of your health focused videos / podcasts over and over again. It's hard to soak everything up all at one. At the beginning of this year I was 400lbs. I've lost 60lbs in the last 6 months. More importantly, I've lost 30lbs in the last 6 weeks. Offering all of this applicable knowledge has helped save my life. I'm 34 and have a three year old daughter and six year old son and I KNOW having access to this knowledge and education has assisted me to make incredible changes in my life. Thank you for all that you and your guests do. Sincerely, Matt.
That’s amazing!!!! Good for you!!!
That’s amazing!! 💪🏼
Congratulations! So happy for you. 🎉
Congratulations Matt! Keep going stay strong you are more powerful than you know. Bravo 👏
Great work, Matt! 🙌🏽
In August I started intermittent fasting plus I gave up ultra processed foods and sugar. I have lost 14 lbs and my triglycerides went from 105 to 50. It’s so awesome being in control and no longer bouncing off the wall wanting junk food constantly. We need more preventative healthcare doctors instead of sick care doctors!
This is the way
I used to bake my own bread, loved pasta, and, used real maple syrup and white sugar, I stopped all of that, and, it really helps. I also avoid all processed foods, and, instead of bread made with wheat flour, I eat Scandanavian rye flat bread. You also have to watch the carbs, beans are healthy but most are high in carbs, so, I switched to lentils for my soups. They are higher in protein and lower in carbs and are cheap and easy to use.
Cut sugar, carbs, seed oils, dropped 200 pounds (9 months) been 3 years and I have maintained my weight ❤ I do monk fast weekly I call it fasting Fridays❤
They have to do that way .there thousands of students graduating from med school every year so they have hide the real truth.because if they give us real truth wouldn’t be a need for doctors
Wait, this woman is a chiropractor?
In the US, eating well, fasting, caring for your body is a major act of self-rebellion because you have to deny what you have been shown and taught your whole life.
Right! I feel rebellious every day while caring for my body and mind. American capitalist culture encourages us to ignore our health, rely on gimmicks, and work in repetitive restrictive conditions.
I would say major act of societal rebellion, but yes, your comment is spot-on! 💯
Unfortunately, this rebellion separates us from friends and family and breaks apart community, so the corrupting repercussions are vast.
Good eating habits .Less medical expenses,mental depression due to ill health ,money saved on junk food excessive eating ,self discipline and mastery due to fasting!!! Catholic church has taught fasting from centuries! Viva Jesu!!
What a fabulous way to think about it. I am going to incorporate that idea. :) xx
Same in Canada, it's so normal and expected to eat unhealthy and drink alcohol & pop that I feel the pressure to justify myself when I do something different. It's annoying how people are like "what's wrong how come you're not drinking, have some pizza" etc., and I notice people who justify it with cultural/religious reasons get a lot mote respect and no further pressure, meanwhile if you just say "I don't eat/drink this" people will try to convince you like you're a loser for refusing.
I have used this idea in the past. Light lunch at 11am. Light dinner at 6pm. Nothing but water in between. Plus skipped dinners completely on Weds and Sats. Walked 4miles every single day. Dropped 43 lbs in 10 months. It's been 4 years. I have only gained 5lbs over that time. My skin is healthier. I look like 33-35 yrs old when my real age is 54. Literally every parameter is in the healthy range. I feel happier, lighter, and overall the world feels a happier place.
Cheers to you! Takes a lot of discipline
@@rangerclark6640 Thanks!
do it🎉🎉❤
Wow, that's is wonderful to hear :)
Hi that is so lovely to hear! I am very happy for your healthier life now!! 😊 And thank you so much for sharing this with us. ❤😊 May I please ask are you a woman or a man - if you don't mind me asking this. I am a woman and I find I need to eat 3 medium size healthy meals a day, at 7am breakfast, at around 12:00 or at 13:00 lunch. Then dinner at about 17:00. Then water fasting til the morning.. and that is where my ideal brain function and body function happens for me, and I am losing weight slowly with it. 🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Dr Mindy’s interview about 36 hour fast from last year on DCEO changed my life! I am 55 old trying to lose weight for more than 8 years, running 2-3 times a week 5K, eating healthy and nothing. I started fasting 36 hours every week since beginning of April and lost 16 pounds, I lost my cravings, menopausal symptoms, foggy brain and fatigue. I am a new woman, lighter, brighter, happier and healthier! Thanks a ton Dr Mindy ❤❤❤❤❤
How much muscle have you lost?
It’s because you lost the weight you felt these benefits not the fasting itself
It may work for you and I glad. But I am close to your age and lifting weights actually will make you long term toned and slim. Nothing crazy, but add some weights and I don't think unless you speak to a doctor before you stop eating 36 hours a week. Not great for your metabolism.
Wow! You got my attention. Ty for sharing that.
Great job! Add weight lifting, more muscles will prevent issues when you get older. So you can keep your energy longer even at the latter years of your life.
From a Christian and biblical perspective we are instructed to have a lifestyle of fasting, heating this from a scientific perspective is so interesting God is so great and intentional. Love this
Amen to that. God knew exactly what he was designing and he knew exactly what we needed to do to keep our temples healthy
fasting is in almost all of the largest religions. So it is very telling.
You are so right.
Absolutely! I just realized this last week! (I was raised Atheist and am exploring Christianity - and learning so many things that were kept from me - as an adult).
@@victoriajalepeno5755 congratulations, I'll see you in heaven
I literally have tears in my eyes. Even if Steven will probably never read this message, I just want to say thank you from the buttom of my heart. Your podcast has changed my life. I am a 29 years old twin mom and only because of your amazing podcast and guests my life and health has changed so much. Thank you for everything! You are an amazing human being! 🤝🏽❤️
I’m addicted.
Can I ask what are the things you changed which have helped you?
I'm grateful I found his youtube video...I can concur with how you feel...this is what's it's all about, raising the human consciousness for benefit of mankind.❤️
This podcast is such a blessing to me as well. Your comment was beautiful.

"if that chemical lasts longer on a shelf, it lasts longer in you" excellent analogy ❤
It sounds good/fine, but it (obviously) doesn't carry much helpful truth it itself. Salt and honey can last on a shelf till the end of time, but they are metabolized in the body in less than an hour.
So, one of the next questions that arises is: so what if it lasts a long time inside the body? So what? Is it "long time in body (probably) = bad"? There's probably an explanation somewhere, and I'm not necessarily sceptical, but it really highlights the reasons I don't like such slogans.
Love this dialogue. Phrases sound good and they instinctively feel right but it is worth pausing and considering the truths and contextual value
Well the quote she said was about substances that you can't recognize when you read the label. Honey and salt we all know what is, but you buy bread and its supposed to have only 3x ingredients ( flour, water and salt, yeast starter in sourdough is also pure flour and water, nothing else) and yet the one in the shop has 20+ ingredients out of which 15 we don't have a clue. That's the point she was making and the quote summarised it perfectly.

@@LetoDK it's just to large a generalization.
I did a 5-day water fast and healed a lower back pain that was so debilitating I couldn’t stand for more than 10 minutes at a time and hadn’t exercised in 2 years. I lived on Aleve. I did the fast in February, and I have never had a day of pain since. I started intermittent fasting at the end of January. I have lost over 30 lbs (I started at 154 lbs). I can and do exercise now, my depression is gone and life is finally good again. I’m 67 and feel better than I did at 50. Highly highly recommend the 3-5 day water fast for healing.
I can attest to that! I've done several 3-5 day water/tea/ electrolytes only fasts and I've had healing in my body almost every time. My last fast, within 48 hours I saw an improvement in my frozen shoulder, my reach was 3 inches higher. I broke the fast but did a very strict keto for another 5 days. Then I did another 55-hour water/ electrolyte only fast And I saw more improvement. And then I continued to eat very low carb. So within just a few weeks, my frozen shoulder went from being about 40% healed to about 90% healed. They say it's supposed to take over one year to heal a frozen shoulder, but I did it in just a matter of weeks by fasting! My range of motion is almost back to normal again! Funny thing is, I was fasting to lose weight, I had no idea that it would affect my frozen shoulder. So that was a bonus!
How tall are you… 154 to 124 this seems excessive lost unless you measure under 5 feet
When you do a longer fast like a 3 to 5 day water fast are you also going to work? I would think that it would be hard to do this in a working environment. I often get lightheaded, dizzy, and have zero energy to work out when I’m doing a 24 hour fast, and when I push it beyond that I spend most of the time in bed so I don’t eat when I try and go for a run which I would normally do in my daily life. I feel lightheaded and dizzy, and I reach more coffee, which makes me more tired , but I can push through that exhaustion and force myself to work out and do some strength training. I go to another realm and then all of a sudden I’m not hungry and I’m not dizzy anymore. At the end of the workout, I often feel tired, but for some stupid reason, I always end up breaking my fast at that point so that I can get something to eat and have a good day. The next day is the dumbest thing I end up doing I should just go to bed and extend my fast for the next day, but I’m always thinking I don’t wanna feel lightheaded and dizzy the next day. I’d rather have some food in my system so I can get a good workout in. But, once I break fast and I have my dinner and I go to bed I end up waking up two or three hours later and eating again and going back to bed and then the next day I’m really tired
that's fantastic
I'm wondering how much dehydration played in this? I find many people are various degrees of dehydrated. Humans are just not drinking enough water. I encourage everyone to read The Water Cure.
I have been so grateful to a friend who wanted company to go to the bookstore looking for this book. I read some inserts from it, went home, and ordered on my E-Reader. I devoured this book and wish it would have been available when I was going through my cycles. I have been battling menopause weight for years! I started fasting like a girl 7/21/24. As of today, I have lost 21 pounds!! My goal was to be 160 when I turned 60. I will hit that goal before my birthday. 🎉
I have cut out breads, pasta, and starches that were causing a lot of weight gain and bloat! I walk 2 miles at least daily and love being outdoors, getting sun and fresh air!
I will continue this lifestyle.😊 Thank you
You are motivating me at age 67. My HgA1C is 6.5! All fat goes to my belly. I’m a sugar craving gal. I can’t have it in the house. I’m going to follow your plan and force the 2 mile walks (live in MN). Thank you!

Mindy rocks!
French use apple cider vinegar to prepare natural sauce for salad:
- half tablespoon of mustard
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoon of oil (olive, sunflower, nut, whatever you like, I used to mix two different oils)
- salt and pepper (moderately)
If the taste of the vinegar is too harsh (I don't know the percentage in different countries), add a little bit of water (1 tablespoon).
This is excellent for any salad.
I love dressing, and mayonese my weekness, so I will try your receipe. Thanks
Most people enjoy a ratio of 3 parts oil to one part vinegar.
@@mynameisfin that's too much oil for salad, especially for vegetables which shrink under that much oil.
@@Tunderb Wouldn't it depend on how much dressing they use, as opposed to the vinegar-to-oil ratio?
Add some lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, and thyme, to make a delicious Italian dressing.
If I may comment, I have been on Ozempic for just over a year now and have lost 46 lbs. Initially I resisted the suggestion from my Dr. to go on it, because I felt like it was cheating. However after trying dozens of times to lose weight and being a woman in her 60's who doesn't have to worry about earning a living, I felt desperate enough to do it. The results were immediate and fast. Fortunately I had minimal side effects. The thing that has fascinated me the most, though, is how losing weight has changed my life. I swim four times a week, I have continued my intermittent fasting, I feel strong and powerful in my body, and my health has vastly improved. I feel like I can do anything! So for me the combination of the Ozempic and the changes I have been able to make in my lifestyle have been empowering and I feel fantastic about myself. I'm happy I have come out of this all feeling strong and healthy. Onward and Upward!
I love you sharing your experience. I am on ozempic and am seeing results as it is helping me change my habits.
Thanks for sharing. This is how the drug should be used -- a boost to "shock" your body and brain that you can do it and change your lifestyle.
My daughter is 54 and started ozempic about 3 months ago. Her side effects are minimal but most of the time she just doesn't feel great. She's only lost about 12 pounds. I don't know the 'normal' loss would be at 3 months, but it's a bit demoralizing considering the way she feels.
Are you planning to stay on Ozempic forever? If you’ve changed your habits, do you really need to keep taking it?
sharonrajan are you still taking it and how long will you have to continue to take it?
Steven, you do the BEST interviews - because you listen, and ask the questions we want to hear. Thank you!
I live in Europe, i come from eastern Europe. I remember when the pre-packaged hamburger rolls arrived to us when I was a kid, my mum would warn me they could be causing cancer. They tasted weird, like plastic and sugar, so it made sense to me. Sometimes my teenage friends would buy them for a fancy evening dinner. I didn't understand what they are for in US, I couldn't imagine people would actually eat them on a daily basis. They were tasty but clearly didn't taste like actual food, I was worried they would get stuck in my gut, like some foreign object.
When I was 25 I went to Canada for a student exchange and was shocked at how shitty the food was, both in supermarkets and take away. And how hard was it to find fresh food, I felt almost like some weirdo. People were shocked I was looking for a student apartment with a kitchen. For me it was the only way to actually survive.
I've been reading food labels since they started appearing in my country, and I already knew that all the colorful American prepackaged food is full of junk. I never even look at those shelves in our supermarkets. Not that our packaged food is great, but I still believe there's a tendency.
It's so unfair to people who grew up in that reality of processed only food, I think when you grow up like this, you don't realize all this, as it is all you know. I feel so lucky to consider a cucumber picked up from a field a regular thing rather than some "fancy" organic expensive food.
It seems there's some stigmatization or aura of magic/specialness assigned to a desire to eat healthy organic food in US? I think maybe it's nothing special, it's the other way round - it's just that your regular food is junk 🙈 I don't understand how that's even legal tbh. And very sorry for all the people who are tricked into fighting with their weight because of it.
I know many people in Europe don't think about this topic as much as me. Many also buy the American packaged food. I think the more east the more aware people are however. And of course we also have obese people. But I can't imagine not becoming fat if I had to live in Canada longer. I put on 5kg in 3 months while I was there, and lost it as soon as I came back, with no effort. I however developed digestive issues afterwards hmm.. I felt miserable health wise in Canada, and I know it was the food.
Same story here. One of the first skills I taught to my kids, was cooking. I cook every day, so they see that is a proper way of life keeping them healthy.
My group mate from the university was always small and skinny. One year, she went to the US for summer and she came back FAT. I mean, really. I didn't even recognize her the first time I saw her - I recognized her boyfriend though, and I thought he was cheating on her. And she lost everything she gained there within the next few months, doing nothing special, she just got back to "normal" food.
We are Very aware in the Mediterranean as well. But is getting harder and harder to find real food
My daughter went to Turkey and raved about the amazing food. A friend of hers moved to Georgia(the country) because the food there made her feel better.
@@bykatesemeniuk Fat in one summer is an appalling weight gain!!! How irresponsible of the USA! I'm dead serious here. People treat me like garbage when I talk about the evils of sugar...
64 years old, started the program after hearing your first podcast with dr. Mindy. One little comment hooked me. Depriving diets were never sustainable but I could think, ‘I’ll just wait till tomorrow’. It worked! Lifestyle change, not just a program! Dropped 16 lbs so far.
Dr. Mindy. I have so many questions. How can I reach out to speak with you about your program. I need a Dr. Like you. I live in New England. I am from NH. Please help
I need to lose 50 pounds. I have gone thru menopause. I have been fasting but getting headaches, body pains, insomnia, moody- irritable ,very anxious.
@patriciaclay7775 same! cannot sleep at night feel starving and sick
@patriciaclay7775 *I want to lose 50lb* rather than I need to.
Your language and how u speak to yourself is important. As mentioned the way cortisol acts in your body can make it hard to lose weight. So if you talk to yourself more positively then you will probably lose it 'easier' @@patriciaclay7775
@@mariannwest8909are you drinking enough water? Are you eating healthy foods during your eating window? Avoid processed sugars and unhealthy oils etc..
The most impressive thing about this podcast are his questions. Excellent, on the spot, questions followed up by excellent listening.
Every time I thought of a question while listening, he asked it. He is a great interviewer!
I suffered a massive emotional trauma last year to the point i really FELT my heart break in a million pieces...
Not only did i struggle everyday to make it through for my family ,i could not even drink water on most days..i lost 40 lbs of this weight i had gained during the pandemic, without even realising it.
Listening to Dr.Mindy i now realize i was fasting and thats the reason i lost all the weight, and my ulcerative colitis dissapeard.
This lady is GOLD and God broke the mold when He created her!❤❤❤❤
The exact thing happened to me as well!! I discovered the power of IF by accident! And yes, felt my heart exactlly as described..
My mom was the best and taught me how to eat properly. She cooked from scratch! If we were hungry before dinner , too bad, she gave us a carrot then told us to wait and play outside, period. We then played outside more. After dinner we had one snack like fruit, nuts or buttered bread. Cookies or cake was for birthdays or holidays only. Soda as well, they were treats. All I see now in the aisles are processed crap. My husband and I eat lean meats, veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs, some dairy, some carbs but good ones like brown rice , oatmeal. Of course some condiments in moderation. Full fat dressing. Our cholesterol is in normal range and our glucose levels. Weekends we go out once for whatever we want. That’s it. We are within our bmi, we work out. Dumbbell work outs, walk our dog. We’re in our late 50’s. And drink water throughout the day. We keep it simple.
Sounds good. I hope you're not eating vegetable oils except olive or avocado. Salad dressings are usually toxic.
Grape seed oil is good too
@@elishacolon9552 I don't think it is. I recommend you do more research on that.

@@traceypanton902 it is based highly on cycling women BUT she teaches so many other concepts or “tools” like she calls them for us to understand how our bodies work. If you have younger women in your life you care for, then it’s totally worth it for both helping others and yourself.

@@reinformedHe is not scared about inviting women, not like most of other male channels do: who just bring mates to explain cause their public is mostly men
Another reason to love his channel as a woman 💜
yes! he seems genuinely mesmerized by women's body, specially menopause and he is so young to even be bothered by that subject
This woman is phenomenal, as a dad of 3 girls an ex wife and approaching 50, I have learned a great deal from this video! I won't elaborate but this has been educational. Kia KAHA!
My husband had difficulties with fasting long hours and wasn’t losing weight. Ozempic helped him “kick start” the weight loss and became accustomed to not eating which led to longer fasting windows and portion control. He lost cravings for sweets during this process. In 3 months he lost 12-15 lb. All these things would have happened without Ozempic, however, it made it easier for his brain to adjust. After 3 months he quit Ozempic because his body allowed him to fast without the irritability and cravings (not to mention cost). 9 months later, he does OMAD 4-5 days a week and the other days he has a 6-7 hour eating window. Best of all he gained control. 9 months later ( without Ozempic), he lost about 25-30 lb and gained muscle. He went from waist size 38” to 34”. Bottom line,,, each person has strengths and weaknesses, do what works to get you to where you need to be. ❤❤❤
i think that is a good use of Ozempic. short term until the person adjusts to that feeling of not having food in the stomach all the time.
I’m not even sure if fasting works for me or not. But I can say that I am one of the people who lost weight eating 6 small meals a day. I guess different things work for different people.
While yes different methods may work, I can say with confidence as a 54 yo woman with type 2 diabetes for 44 years (since age 10)...6 small meals worked when I was young for a time but 20 years ago that no longer applied. Over time eating any carbohydrate and yes that includes fruit, eating every few hours will cause insulin resistance. Your body now is producing too much insulin all day long. Eating a carb requires insulin and then your sugar drops necessitating the need to eat once again. Once that cycle is broken by a low carb diet and fasting you are no longer hungry every few hours. It saved my life and got me off all diabetic meds and insulin. No more high cholesterol or high blood pressure. I never count a calorie and I eat until satiated. 4 years of this lifestyle and going strong 😊 115@Blessed1985
I agree 100 percent. Weight loss drugs are helping millions people, especially if dealing obesity, it saved my life.

2 month ago my weight was 105kg. I startet to reduce sugar to 12g per day max. Eating window of 4 hours, Salat, meat, cheese. Seets, healthy bread etc... After 2 month I lost 15 kg and I lost hunger... 24 hours no eating? No problem any more... These videos changed my life... Better sleep and more energy... Just amazing. I still enjoy occasionally a peace of cake or some other "unhealthy" stuff.. But just as a treat. And this works for me Perctly.
Congratulations, that's amazing! Did you exercise at all? Or just use the eating method you mentioned above?
Well done, you! ❤
@@bintanwar I am down to 80kg now. I even reduce my method and still loosing weight. I still eat only in a 4h window a day. Sugar reduced to around 15g per day. More howl food. Cooking by myself, a lot of different nuts and vegetables. But more and more I allow myself more flexibility. My plan was never too loose weight but rather life more healthy. And that helped me indeed. More energy, less back pain better sleep 🥰
Edit: no sport btw 🫣
Im watching this over and over until it becomes my reality.
I started intermittent fasting at age 66 because I was hungry too many times during the day. I was not overweight. I wasn't eating bad food because my immune system doesn't tolerate the chemicals, flavorings or colorings in today's food. At age 72 I am only eating twice a day and believe I am better all around. My hunger all day long went away!!
When you master fasting, you can heal your relationship with food and your body. And it's natural.
That is a fact! It's really amazing
Unless it body slams your adrenals.
Exactly and we eat too much anyways. It's unnecessary.
It's also super easy if you first get rid of your sugar addiction.
Just have a balance, no need to fasting
I credit Mindy for my 51 pound weight loss and for just teaching me the method of these fasts. YOU, Mindy Pelz, don't give yourself enough credit for what you have done for ALL women who have learned from you. You Rock women!! Love all that you have done and continue to do!!!❤🎉

Most people don't realize how obsessed with & addicted to eating and food they are. I'm considered thin &/ fit but feel terrible when I eat too much, eat grain, dairy & sugar and have spent my entire life dealing with chronic health issues. Weight is only part of the story and humans need to stop assuming that thin people are healthy. The worst things adults ever said to me as a skinny kid were things like "you can ear whatever you want". NOBODY should ever eat whatever they want. It's such a toxic message. I think this is why people "outsource their power". Very powerful concept.

Dr. Mindy…I’m down 95 lb w clean keto/IF. Huge shoutout to you for writing fast like a girl. You gave me the tools to get here. It was hard BUT so worth it. Honestly, it helped me develop the mental tenacity to tackle some really hard things in my personal life. Fasting gave me confidence to know that I’m capable of doing not only hard things but things that most say are impossible.
Wow! Loved this podcast. I’m type 2 diabetic, overweight with PCoS and I’ve learned more from this incredible woman than I have from my Doctor in 30 years. Thankyou for asking the profound questions too
Most of the time you can heal type 2 diabetes by following a diabetic and eliminating all chemical foods, sugars, bad oils and drinking lots of water. Eating organic. It's called eating whole foods and. Fasting. Medical person here
The line, "If it lasts longer on the shelf, the chemical lasts longer in you." So simple, but so profound 💕
As a European, living in a country that really regulates what food is - a lot of this is a US problem; but the lessons are still hugely valuable for the rest of the world as well. ❤❤
Same shit in the UK as well sadly
EU - has a lot of hidden sugar in things eg bread in some countries and at the moment still falsely labelled some so-called ' eco' products - due to change this year apparently...
I agree that we have it better than the US in some ways. But our grocery stores are also full of GMO foods. We also have that apeel shit on some of our vegetables. We are moving away from what’s healthy.

Well done! What would you eat?
You are an amazing human being. Your RUclips videos bring order to my life. Thank you. I am a survivor of severe emotional child abuse. It never goes away. My own mother was my abuser and my only sibling was manipulated by her to abuse me also. Enough of that. I have always had to read books to understand myself, my life and how to navigate life. She taught me absolutely nothing but she did apologize on her death bed for how she treated me. That only let me know that she knew she was hurting me. I forgave her. Now I am alone in the world and I’m scared all the time. When I listen to your podcast it brings peace because now I have answers that my patients should have given to me. I’m 67 years old now but I still feel like a kid. I have dual personalities and I know you understand why. I have no friends because I don’t trust people but I have a great time interacting with people. I don’t have company. This podcast is a game changer for me. I am morbidly obese because I stress eat. The doctor said food and exercise are tool we can use to create our own toolbox for our own health. It’s just little words attached to concepts that make a difference. So now I know about fasting and how I can fix my obesity situation. I want to live a long time. I want a do over so I can live like a champion. I have no family nor a support system so people like you are a huge part of helping me understand what I should have gotten from a supportive family. I’m going to get my Libby Library app and find fast like a girl and follow this doctor so I can heal my obesity. I’m also taking an online course to become a certified personal trainer, a nutritional couch and a corrective exercise specialist. I want to help people who have been abused but specifically help people understand how they need to fuel and exercise their bodies so they don’t deteriorate as they age. I’m thankful for this podcast because it is a roadmap to where I’m trying to go. I hope to be invited on your show one day. What an honor it is to be on your platform to bring truth to the world that is hidden by our agencies that are supported to keep us safe except for their desire for money. So thank you and God bless you and your family. I so much wiser because of you.😮😢🎉🎉❤
I'm one of those you should talk to about Ozempic. Intermediate fasting was working for me, then I let an endocrinologist talk me into it. I knew better, but at 67, having never really done much prescription drugs, I was hopeful. Worse decision of my life. Now...I'm finally getting my digestive system back, hopefully. It has taken 7 months to get almost back to my normal.
This is great info thst my dad taught in the 1960s. He would like you so much.
Thank you both for sharing your knowledge. I'm 49 and I've just survived a year of grief, physical mobility issues, chronically ill husband and I'm now menopausal with 12kg of excess weight with a yoyo bloating 37-40" waist that my doctor has told me to lose (without guidance). I'm tired, foggy, sad, lethargic and feel disconnected from people. It's time for a change. My IF journey starts today 😊
You can do it!!! And I'm so sorry for your loss...
💐🌹🌺🌷
I hear you, me in it too. Lets do this together
go for it! stick with it. its hard at first, but you can do it! it changes your life. i dont know how people manage life feeling so sluggish. when i go off the fasting, i always regret it and feel awful
IF is great but if you research carnivore or ketovore woe you will be amazed. I have never lost weight before now but carnivore works. I am 46, with Hashimoto's and was pre diabetic. No more pre diabetic, lowered my BP and feel amazing.
@@mk_78 you'll be the skinniest of the cemetery if you continue with that diet.
So excited to see her on again!! You both changed my life with the first interview and now 60lbs down from 305lbs - thank you so much.
Orthodox ethiopians have been fasting for the past 3000 years. We fast for 18h a day with a 6h eating window for more than 250 days a year.
That explains my former coworker who only ate at night at home
I've just recently started intermitten fasting to manage my weight, hormones and diabetes ... I'm only 3 weeks in and I have noticed the difference. I have more energy levels at work, the initial hunger pangs have gone I dont feel as bloated and sluggish, my motivation levels have improved, I dont have brain fog during the day, I dont crave sugar anymore, and I've started going back to the gym. I dont have breakfast or lunch I have dinner early in the evening and it's working for me. I cant wait to see what happens in the next few months
Do you not feel hungry? I can't sleep at night if I don't eat 3 meals, I feel starving in the middle of the night.
I love her. Her advice has changed my health immensely. I began intermittent fasting and lost 60 lbs in under a year. My chronic pain went away, my fatty liver was no more, my skin tags went away, and other annoyances went away as well. I can’t thank fasting enough. I didn’t have to reduce calories-I just had to change my eating window!!! It has killed the food noise I used to deal with and I no longer have guilt or fear around food! I also crave healthier foods and processed foods aren’t as attractive to me anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I still consume them sometimes. I am still a modern human, after all. But my life looks SO different now than before I found this woman!!!!
Ditto
I really appreciate a health presenter without a botulism toxin injection addiction!!

Amen. I hope she never gets rid of the forehead wrinkles. Everyone looks puffy. Just age gracefully. I do what I can to avoid them but once they’re there: embrace them.
Next to every hospital there should be a health clinic where 'patients' should be referred to specialists like this amazing lady to retrain themselves and be empowered to take charge of their health. This dream clinic will include nutrition training, yoga, weigt lifting, functional training, dance, counselling etc. She nailed it when she said that doctors prescribe medicines with no consideration of a more holistic approach. When my dad died suddenly relatively young I felt so betrayed as I realised he was a victim of a lack of information, and lack of support for 50 year old smokers back in the 90s. Then seeing my mum a few years ago going from chemo to chemo swallowing so many pills with no doctor offering a programme of exercising, counselling or quitting smoking nothing made sense. I love all these programmes now that help us with our mindset against everything we are bombarded with. But still... there is so much that needs to be done for the younger generation who live on sugar and processed food.
Really great interview! I love her support for the “regular woman”.
The diagnostic methods of looking at the whole body - feet, eyes, nails, hair, skin, menstrual blood flow, tongue coating ect is all based on Classical Chinese medicine diagnostic techniques. All classically trained Chinese medicine practitioners do this in their practice all day. We combine those objective findings with the patients subjective experience and treat people, not symptoms.
I would love to see you interview any leader in the field of Chinese medicine - for example, Heiner Fruehauf or Jeffrey Yuen, would be an amazing addition to to your show as opposed to primarily interviewing internet celebrities who have a lot of airtime already.
Chinese medicine is a thousands year old comprehensive evidence based medical system, I would love for it to have more airtime.
My Korean mom taught me all about cooking and eating real foods when I was growing up, and those principles stayed with me throughout all these years. I pair this with consistent workout activities that keeps my body moving, building and maintaining muscles, bones, cardio, etc. Blood work numbers are optimal.
My mom just turned 80 years young and is still the energizer bunny…still push mowing her lawn, shoveling snow, landscaping for her clients, etc. She amazes her doctors.
I am almost 57 years young and feeling great.
Love my animal proteins from land, air, and water, with my favorite veggies and fruits.
I fast when I sleep. 😊
Following old school ways and principles works extremely well. ❤
It’s hard when you don’t have someone to teach you! But I have quit processed foods for the last month 🙂
I am a 68 year old health and fasting coach. This interview is brilliant! I have shared this with all of my clients, all of whom are as in love with Dr. Mindy as I am. Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve seen a number of RUclips clips for Dr Mindy and read her book, but never before has the message of self empowerment through fasting landed so strong. ❤
Watch this because I was bored. I started fasting im on day four on 16:8 or longer and I've losted 4lb and had a serotonin rush in work. I felt amazing, thank you very much. ❤
Are you still on it? I just watched this today, and I’ll start the 16 hours no eating, 8 hours of eating a day. How do you feel now, and are you still on the 16/8?
I read the book and followed the protocol. I am 44 years old and have lost 15lbs in 3 months by fasting 16:8, walking 10k steps a day, and removing all processed foods including added sugar to my diet. I also reduced my alcohol intake by 90%. I feel amazing and I am halfway to my goal of 30lbs. Something I havent been able to achieve in over 10 years of yo-yo dieting. Thank you, Dr. Pelz for sharing this information with the world and Diary of a Ceo as I have been consuming all the health experts information on your show and have changed the way I look at food and my health. I finally feel confident in my ability to reach my goal and it wasnt even hard! It just took the knowledge of what to do, consistency, and BAM results!
Thank you for this podcast, such important information! As a health "freak" since I was 15, 44 years and going, I'm excited to hear people like Dr Mindy speak! As a postmenopausal woman I am in the process of figuring out my hormonal landscape. I just moved to Turkey 3 months ago, I love the fresh farmers market I get to shop at once a week. Colorful imperfect fruits & vegetables with the dirt still gracing the skin. Thank you for empowering & educating!
Dr Mindy is so thoughtful, positive and informative. I love listening to her.
Since the last time Dr. Pelz talked about intermittent fasting with you, I've lost two dress sizes, (using 18/6 time and occasional 24/36 hrs) look and feel like a million dollars girl :), and I am now the biggest advocate for her fasting methods
I did 18/6 because of heartburn. Was surprised when people told me I'd lost weight. It never dawned on me the reason why my clothes were falling off me. I did find my desire for foods lessened and my taste buds changed. But I also found when the doctor took my blood pressure, I would sit for a minute thinking about petting my cat. Didn't have to actually do it, just think about it. My b/p has been perfect when it gets measured.
I’ve never heard of Dr Pelz before! Would you recommend I watch the older interview, or just this one? Thanks
@@Maggie-zr2ow I found the previous interview more detailed about fasting, talking about the different fasting options and what it does to the body. Def watch that!
@@ica0074 Thank you so much!👍☺️
@Maggie-zr2ow she has her own channel with shorter videos that are filled with loads of info.
I just started watching and I am already in tears. "Crying like a girl" We have been waiting for this information for so long. I love you both. You are great 👍 on so many levels. ❤❤❤ Thank you again ❤❤❤
I’m blown away by the quality of this video! It’s clear, concise, and filled with actionable tips that I can start using today. Thank you!
Thank you for inviting Dr Mindy back. I started IF after watching her speak on your programme just about a year ago - she speaks with such compassion, clarity and inspiration that got me started on this IF journey while also not being too hard on oneself (ie. be flexible) and have lost 8 kg thus far. Kudos to this channel Steve and also a big shout out to Dr. Mindy
This episode definitely came at the right time in my life. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and since I lost both my parents recently to stage 4 liver cancer I have really been trying to make changes in my everyday life. Thank you for having her on, the information she shared was so informative and easy to digest! I loved her concept of the toolbox and the way she broke it down. I'm off to purchase her books now!
I have just been diagnosed with fatty liver, as well. I don’t have any weight to lose and my alt & ast are very low. I am afraid to eat. I was already clean eating but am thinking of carnivore for 90 days for a reboot and see what affects me. Good luck to you.
Started fasting on september 2023, 14h, 16h , 18h then 24h , step by step, now fasting 36h , 48h and once a month 62h , lost 23 kgs so far. It’s amazing , thank you Dre Mindy from Montréal, Canada!!
Terrific
Unhealthy thing to do
Wow I’m on the minute where he’s asking about how to accommodate the phase where the woman feels like staying on the couch …. Not his words but still …. LOVE HIM! That was 😢❤extremely mindful and kind and it was everything.
I’m waiting for Big Food, Pharma & Medical to come after Dr Mindy. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and work has helped soooo many Women.
Thank you Dr Pelz
That’s why people don’t speak up and hide in the shadows and learn and question everything 💎
i lost 28 kg in 6 months with keto and intermittent fasting and I never felt better. My skin cleared up, I struggle with insulin resistance and my results went back to normal levels as well.
28kg in 7 month is great! But in 6 months, wow!
Keto has amazing results short term BUT long term it has negetive effects. The best long term diet by far is a whole plant SOS free diet, with an 8 to 10 hour eating window every day. That's a tough call so I always fall off the wagon on a faily regular basis. But with a water only fast a couple of times a year, it manages to keep me lean where it matters - visceral fat. Fasting is an effective way to keep fit, if combined with consistent exercise
@@Jay...777 interesting, i would say plants long term have negative effects. my diet is plant-free
@@xsw882 Healty Microbiom needs fiber only found in plants.
Congratulations and I’m proud of you, keep it up
I started fasting more than a year ago and dropped 11 kilos and my perioral dermatitisis gone, I also eat wholefoods which allow me to fast better. Then hubby jumped onboard, he was sceptical at first but he now loves it and lost 20 kilos. Some friends also tried after us and they all lost their tummy fat and find it incredibly sustainable. Thank you Mindy for the great teachings 😊
The best interviews ever. Your questions are the ones that I don't ask my doctor because he doesn't have time. Your questions may have saved my life. Was the catalyst for getting my liver checked. Fasting has benefited me immensely. Thanks
She does what I do at a Grocery store. SHE IS SPEAKING THE TRUTH! GOD BLESS HER.
I personally am so grateful to this amazing woman I thank her so much for her time
My life has changed after I learned how much the food we buy is processed and affect our life. After quitting most of the heavily processed food my overall health and psychology is much better now. Thank you Steve for making everyone learn about healthy lifestyle. We're trying to do the same in our podcast channel.
Luxury of the west controlled fasting for healing. We need to make sure more people have access to Food and build sustainable solutions for them!
Yes! It puts you in a BETTER MOOD not to eat the things that plop out of conveyer belts! 80% of you eat that and the whole lot of you are BIPOLAR and CRAZY
I'm a male 68 . Struggled with type 2. Had success on Keto to control it but don't always feel great going low carb running on Keytones all the time. I'm having a gift from God right now or if you prefer an ah ha moment . I've fasted and felt better during fasting I just felt better and didn't crave sweets but broke my fast with low carb. Some higher carb whole food like garbanzo beans and some fruit with protein actually feel good to eat. What I'm hearing is that it's OK TO SWITCH. Between ketone burning and carb burning . I feel empowered.
Look up Sally Norton and Oxalates, some people do need a bit of carbs.
Dr Mindy Pelz has changed my life, for the better. She has taught me so much and introduced me to IF. I will forever be grateful. Lost weight, no more inflammation, pre-diabetes gone, no more sugar cravings, the list goes on
That’s amazing!
I love, love, love her views on Ozempic. It's a mature, rational response to a 'quick fix' drug - bravo 👏
IF has changed my life! I’m 57 and post menopausal and this is the only that’s helped me lose weight in years!! I’ve lost 15lb in one month. I fast 18hrs from midnight to 6pm the next day. I do bodybuilding workout at the gym in the morning and work in the afternoon finishing at 7 or 8 in the evening. It’s easy to fast this way while I’m busy at the gym and work. I have less foot pain from plantar fasciitis (menopausal hormone issue). It seems to be regulating my hormones. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🙏♥️
Same here..i am 50 in menopause and i have massive foot hip and leg pain,brainfog,itcy ears ...
Oh ladies this is me. I’m in HRT. My brain fog is horrendous and I can’t seem to find much info in the book for us older ladies? You are doing amazing and my journey starts here. Xx
I've stopped drinking alcohol for 2 years going onto 3... It's made a big difference in my health now I need to do fasting bcoz I'm obese n my feet hurts but no swelling anywhere on my feet or hands. Tysm for the answer's ❤
Cheers I'll get back in 3months :-)
6 Million!!! Very much deserved guys. DON'T CHANGE A THING...!
Loved this conversation and interview! I have been intermittent fasting for 2 years after being diagnosed with high blood pressure and being overweight and it has changed my life! After about a year I dove deeply in the foods that I was eating and switched to more Whole Foods and organic. Recently I have learned more about fermented foods and how to build up the good bacteria in my gut microbes. My blood pressure regulated itself and at my last checkup my Dr said everything looked perfect in my labs and bloodwork. Thank you to every single Dr, researcher, and podcaster that is fighting for people against the food and drug administration and for getting information out to the people. I agree we have to change the food industry and how it is regulated.
So sadly, I don't think that will happen. Us getting addicted or poisoned by bad food and eating badly, then getting sicker and sicker are two huge money spinners. :(
😊❤❤❤❤❤
Yes. My Dr. Yelled at me! "What are you doing here?? You're textbook perfect BP. Better than mine!? Get out of here." 😊. (CDL mandatory medical)
I wish they would have teached me this as a child. I was skinny when i was 15 gained a lot of weight over the years and was never realy able to get it of. But i started to learn so much by listening to your potcasts that i turned my life around. The only working points are exercise more and quit smoking. But one step at a time. Just ordered machine to mesure my ketones and gonna try to fast longer then 12 hours. Everything starts to make sence. It gives me the idea to make a book for children with all this advice. So parents can teach there kids and also learn from it themselves. Keep up the good work!
Calorie restriction doesn't work for me but fasting does. I've had a few goes at it over the years and it's always helped me lose weight. I'm doing 16:8 now everyday. On a good day when I'm busy when I'm at work which is at least 3 days a week I push that out to 18:6 and quite often 19:5. This is what works for me (I've been doing this now for a year and I've lost around 15kg in that time) and I plan on doing it for the rest of my life. This video just emphasises to me that I'm doing good for myself. I'm 50 now and I hope that this will help me to be as healthy as possible as I age.
When you are fasting you ARE calorie restricting.
For anyone who hasn't started fasting and is thinking "but I'll feel starving all day", just try this. Protein shake or any very very low carb breakfast with at least 30g of protein. Eating it first in the day will help keep you feeling full for longer. See how many hours you go before feeling hungry. When you are hungry eat loads more protein. Try and go an hour extra each day before eating another meal (only if you don't feel hungry). It might take a while but your body adjusts (better than drastic changes that you are less likely to stick with). In less than a week I got to 17 hours no food without even thinking about it. Good luck.
I make a decision of starting fasting 7 months ago and I have been able to keep my routine 2 days per week no food for 24 hours and I feel healthy and workout daily, i don’t eat junk but I do it because I’m not 30 anymore. I follow her tips and trust me it works
Growing up Muslim, every year we did it. I remember as a teenager going to school all my teachers and kids gave us such a hard time practicing our faith and gave us trouble when we fasted. God commanded us to fast during the holy month of Ramadan. From dawn to sunset no food or water for 30 days. Every year Muslims walk away not only feeling closer to God but physically we all feel great, acne gone, mental clarity and so much energy. All the prophets of God fasted.
Non-Muslim here: I remember feeling a little sorry for my Muslim friends who had to fast during Ramadan. Then intermittent fasting came into vogue. After this, I then remember a conversation w Muslim friend about health benefits, & how much of their family/friends lost weight & felt healthier during Ramadan. 'Interesting point. 😊
@@jenniferdettloff-carter4245 investigate both further... i promise you won't be disappointed.
I was looking for someone who would talk about ramadan
Ameen. My oldest son just started participating in the full Ramadan this year. I came here to talk about this. I feel like our community could learn a bit from western science on how to optimize fasting and adhere more to the original tenets. I think a lot of people gorge themselves at iftar and even suhoor (at least in Morocco). We went to a restaurant once and the amount of food piled up was shocking. So much waste
GOD not commanded you. You doing because you love god and you wish to be close to him
Hey Stephen. Another great guest with a powerful and accurate view. Im 65 my wife 59. We have struggled with weight loss. We have been taking Mounjaro (similar to ozempic) Dr Minzi is fantastic and her ideals are sound but heres a thing we have discovered. Since injecting we have lost weight beyond our wildest dreams. But. There is an expression used called food noise. We have experienced this. Without this noise it has allowed us to learn so much about our shocking food intake without interuption from (food noise) which is for life. For us this is an exit from Mounjara
Dr. Mindy was the first person who made the idea of fasting exciting for me. It took me a while to really get into it, but I do fast for almost a year now (18:6 most of the time, every day), mainly on carnivore diet (not strict by any means), and I feel the healthiest, happiest I've ever been. What a great podcast for anyone who wants to improve their lives. Loved it!
16/8 fasting since Jan. Went from 17.1st to 14.8 (32 lbs). Don’t do it every night as I work in sales and often take clients for dinners. Still drink alcohol although I have massively cut down on the day to day casually drinks here and there. Exercise on average 3 times a week (gym or biking). Cut down processed foods (still eat some but not frequently l) Still have a takeaway or a drinking session with mates on occasion so I never feel like I’m missing out. Feel great and it’s sustainable. Most importantly the area where I’ve lost the most fat is stomach. It’s now almost flat. I’m 41 with a young family and work away a lot. I can’t recommend fasting enough. Good health to all
WOW 😊
Never been a fan of Dr. Mindy - her positive reinforcement and enthusiasm, at times, got too overwhelming.
But this podcast and the subtle discussion, I'm a believer and a fan 🙏🏻
My journey started on 16 December 2021. Starting at 101 KGS, had wanted to get better as I had been obese all my life. 6mobths later, a shadow of my former self, waist down from 40 inches to 34 inches and weighing 68-70 KGS 😁
A combination of OMAD and PALEO worked for me. Added in half a dozen 36 hour and 48 hour fasts.
And one 72 hour water fast that turned out to be 100 hours - because of ONE BULLETPROOF COFFEE 😂
My observation - besides the fat loss, White spots on nails disappeared. My scalp recovered and dandruff was a thing of the past. My hair have been naturally oily and shiny, not greasy.
Coming back to Dr. Mindy, thank you. I am now an official member of the Mindy Project Fan Club 😊
Thank you Doc 🙏🏻
Well done, you! ❤
@@ellyl9349 Thank you, Kind stranger 🙏🏻
Thanks!
All I know is I went into menopause early. I’m postal now and have not had a cycle since I was 38. Intermittent fasting has been my saving grace
That’s great news it’s helped you! I think I’m over thinking fasting. I did fast 2 days ago 16:8 but then yesterday felt like my hormones needed eggs for breakfast so I did. But today I’m thinking I can fast again…I’m still figuring it all out.
Hopefully, you are also eating enough good saturated fats and protein from animal sources.
@@LadiesofPurposeTV take small steps and add an extra hour. Drink water to keep you going.
I used to think i couldn't survive without breakfast but can successfully fast until 14:00 hrs or 15:00 hrs. I drink water in between if I feel hungry. A 30-60 minutes regular fast paced walk accelerates weight loss results.
I hope you’re on HRT. I had same scenario and was postal. HRT NECESSARY
@@swoolsey6561 I was for 3 years. My Doc took me off
I Dry Fast min of 20 hrs - 23 hrs everyday. I love this lifestyle. Food has no power over me. Before I started fasting I used to get the jitters & light headed if I don't eat every 4 hrs. Now, I'm not hungry all day and it also saves a lot of money on food. Fasting is FREE! You don't have to attend meetings or buy certain food. I just love it. My main goal is to maintain a healthy weight & to live a long healthy life.
Ok ok in
I don't think that's healthy. Looks like maniacal fasting and that's straight path to eating disorders.
I think you DO have a problem with food - not eating the whole day is the same big problem with food and it has power over you, sorry
Good job! Keep up the good work! I feel at peace when I'm fasting. 😘
They've done studies, those who eat less live longer ...
'Learn how to read the ingredient list'. That is a true eye opener. Just to hear this sentence can change the entire food intake routine . Thank you. ❤❤❤
I now do the intermittent fasting. I have lost 25 lbs. I feel impowerd because I did it myself with out drugs, Doctors input . I realized that I can have a huge amount of control over my weight and overall health. I am 70 years old. My GURD and irritable bowel disease are under control now. I was able to remove 3 prescriptions I was taking each day. Now that’s empowerment!
The biggest thing I learnt from this amazing woman is eating, fasting, and exercising sync with hormonal fluctuations. This was the game-changing silver bullet!
Not sure what you mean...
@@noeldeal8087 Whilst men have a 24-hour hormonal cycle (short summary: testosterone peaks in the morning and tapers down for the rest of the day and resets overnight), women have a 28 day hormonal cycle.
For two weeks oestrogen is on the rise, and then peaks alongside 24 hours of testosterone in the mix and a dash of progesterone. This peak in the hormonal cycle is when a woman is ovulating. The female body has built this hormonal cocktail so that the woman gets laid (peaking oestrogen + testosterone = horny) and the hormones can facilitate a fertilised egg to implant itself on the uterine wall. Once pregnant, a whole new slew of hormones come in alongside lots of rising progesterone.
When a woman doesn't get pregnant, she also experiences a rise in progesterone. That's why the symptoms the 1-2 weeks before your period is due can be similar to pregnancy symptoms. Increased appetite, emotional sensitivity, inability/aversion to high intensity workouts, etc. Once your period arrives the progesterone drops and oestrogen begins to rise once more, and the cycle begins again.
You are all a real inspiration. This is what I need to do. My so-called gastro specialist was one of the "fasting destroys your gut" folks. I was put onto a 6-small-meal-a-day diet for 6 weeks to reset my stomach and help my gastritis. That diet was awful. I have never felt SO sluggish. I felt like it had done me more harm than good, but everyone looked at me like I was crazy, and I am now at my heaviest weight (need to lose 15kg).
Thank you Steven, Dr Pelz, everyone commenting on this podcast.
Remember Dr keep uou coming back. I too have suffered fro. Gastritis. But all the carbs from that diet was too much for me. Thd medic field is just starting to understand to second brain (stomach). Digestion system.
Thank you for having Mindy on again! She has taught me and others so much. I bought fast like a girl when it came out and I've ready it 2 times over,shared it with 3 other women who were struggling with weight or peri menopausal issues. The passion she has,the encouragement she gives,the education she provides is everything! I've made great personal changes for myself and I thank her and you for for the great information and the amazing guest you bring on to your podcast!
A big thanks to Dr. Mindy, Jason Fung and Jamnadas ! These guys just made me go from feeling sick to being mentally and physically stable. Did a three day water fast and continued with OMAD subsequently. Went from 72kgs to 59 kgs !
Strong and consistent! The change is just fabulous. Great job DOAC on bringing such people!
Consider Dr. Jamnadas too !
