Fasting isn’t about restriction, it’s about rhythm.

In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer Blackwell, PA, to unpack how fasting can become one of the most powerful yet gentle tools for women in midlife.

💡 Here’s what we’ll cover:
• The right and wrong ways to fast in midlife
• How fasting affects hormones, energy, and metabolism
• What to eat during your eating window for stable blood sugar
• A gentle, hormone-aligned way to begin fasting safely
