Fasting, Ozempic, Flat Belly and Metabolism: Through the Menopause Lens

Are you feeling confused about fasting, weight loss peptides, and nutrition, especially since most of the research seems to be on sedentary people who look nothing like you? If you’re an active woman trying to figure out whether these trends and studies actually apply to you, this episode is for you.

I’m joined by nurse practitioner Cynthia Thurlow, and together we unpack what the science really says and what it means for women like us.

We cover:

• What metabolic health really means

• Whether fasting is the magic bullet, or a minefield, for active women

• The one experiment you absolutely should try for yourself

• What it means to “microdose” weight loss peptides

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, with over 25 years of experience in the world of health and wellness. She’s done a couple of great TedX talks that hit the jackpot with over 15 million views for her second one (Intermittent Fasting: Transformational Technique). Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in perimenopause/menopause and intermittent fasting, and she has also been featured on ABC, FOX5, and The Megyn Kelly Show. Like me, she is on a mission to help empower women to live their most optimal lives in perimenopause and beyond.
