Episode 133: Dr. Mindy Pelz

Thank you for tuning in for another episode of Life’s Best Medicine. Dr. Mindy Pelz is a renowned holistic health expert and one of the leading voices in educating women about their bodies. Teaching her signature “5-Step Approach,” Dr. Mindy has empowered hundreds of thousands of people around the world to harness their body’s own healing abilities through fasting, diet variation, detoxing chemicals from the body, stress management, and lifestyle changes – as keys to achieving optimum health and slowing down the aging process. Her private coaching group, The Reset Academy, teaches women how to sync a fasting lifestyle with their hormones. In this conversation, Drs. Brian and Mindy talk about the many paradigms and methods for healing that Western medicine has forgotten about, how Dr. Mindy discovered the formula for fasting from a hormonal perspective, the differences between men and women when it comes to fasting and dealing with stress and how these differences relate to hormones, the ways in which women work against their hormones, the evolutionary and genetic basis for fasting, how fasting fixes the gut microbiome, the two primary factors that keep people from getting into ketosis, how the generation of ketones in the body can help women going through menopause, why hormonal care and hormonal awareness is crucial for preventing disease in both men and women, why muscle mass fights visceral fat, knowing when to use which kind of fast, and how fasting helps you to understand your relationship with food and eating. Life’s Best Medicine According to Mindy: “Where I go when times are stressful and I need oxytocin is nature. I live in Northern California and I can pop over to the beach, I can go to Tahoe, I can go to Yosemite. I just get out and go. I also do a lot of walking because when you walk it calms the amygdala. So it turns the fear part of the brain down. I’m a connection person—my friends, my family, my community. I just lean into people I love and if I feel good around somebody or in an environment then I try to go around that more.” Thank you for listening.
