365: Menopause Reset: Fasting, Sleep, + Functional Fitness Tips | Dr. Mindy Pelz
I’ll be honest, menopause used to feel like something I would deal with later, distant and a little intimidating. This conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz completely reframed that for me. We talk about menopause as a neurological and metabolic reset, not a decline, and why so many women feel raw, overstimulated, or suddenly done with people pleasing when estrogen drops. Dr. Pelz explains what’s happening in the brain, why that shift can feel uncomfortable at first, and how it often signals clarity, stronger boundaries, and a deeper sense of self.
Topics Discussed:
→ How can women boost energy during menopause?
→ What’s the best exercise for postmenopausal health?
→ How do sleep and light affect menopause symptoms?
→ Can intermittent fasting help during menopause?
→ How do lifestyle changes replace lost estrogen?
