This episode has me appreciating being an African living in Africa because 80% of the food we eat comes straight from the farmers and I’m so thankful for that.

[ItsmeImalot]

I found Dr. Mindy in August of 23. The information I received from her literally saved my life. I am in the midst of peri menopause being 49 years old. Dr. Mindy is a gift. I love her and I will be greatful forever. 🦋💚🙏🏻

I'm probably one of them rare cases. Alcoholic for about 22 years. My last 2 i was taking about 5 pints to the face daily. The last year withdrawals almost killed me. Coma, BAC of 39%, 1st stages of cirrhosis. Delirium like crazy. Shakes. All of it. After relapses and multiple hospitalizations where once I couldn't walk due to so many vitamins and minerals deprecated out of my body. July 23, 22 was the day I officially put all drugs and alcohol down. November 5, 2023 215 lbs and I said enough is enough. Read her book. Read David Goggins, listened to Andrew Huberman got into my circadian rhythm, fasted, drank my electrolytes, take my creatine, vitamins, minerals daily, meal prep 4 months after I was 125 lbs. Currently 125 lbs i don't want to pick up or do any drugs. It's a hard lonely road but my gosh i feel and look better than I ever did. I'm about to be 37 and doing a marathon Dec 8. Anything is possible, if YOU want to achieve it! Fasting saved my life. Thank you Dr. Mindy!😊 i run 3 to 5 miles a day along with 30 mins of weightlifting.

Would love an episode showing what they have in their refrigerator, laundry room, pantry… I always wonder what healthy people have in their house and what brand and products they use. I still have a lot to learn. 😊

[DominionAnako-bbry]

Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, staying hydrated, portion control, and getting enough sleep. Consistency is key!

[PikantaHair]

It’s also crazy how after living in Canada for 3 years now im actually starting to pay attention to what im eating as I constantly feel tired, gaining extra weight, have skin problems and get sick more often. Which was NEVER the problems when I lived my entire life in Europe ( 3 different countries). North America is killing their people..

[ddellano]

62 I have belly fat. Cancer stage 4 Fasting with Dr. Mindy 6 months I have lost 20 pounds in remission and fast I’m
And fasting is so easy.

[chinemeremugagu]

I’m just getting to know Dr. Mindy, and I’m hooked! I've been struggling with my weight and hormones, and her insights are such an eye-opener. Starting my 36-hour fast today—can't wait to come back and update on my fasting journey. Thank you, Jay Shetty!

[belle_r]

I fasted 48h after my surgical teeth extraction: just water, no food or anything. Only water. I didn't take any antibiotics. I had no gum inflammation. My gums healed faster. Fasting is so amazing!

[zakes.lizzie]

I like watching people discuss topics they are very passionate about.

[ena_food_n_health]

This woman has an incredible mindset. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Take responsibility and create momentum.

[prettysus]

i could listen to this woman for hours ! She makes so much sense.

[philippineGal]

I stumbled upon Dr. Pelz’s interview about 4-5 mos ago. I was in this cycle of just being tired all the time, being so emotional and angry before my period. Gaining wt eventhough I don’t believe I eat a lot. I read her book, started wearing a CGM and just slowly easing into the fasting lifestyle. I now have done 2 72 hrs of fasting without a struggle. I’m currently on my 3rd try for the 72 hrs fasting. I used to love chocolate that I can finish a big toblerone in one sitting. Now, I have a hard time finishing one piece of chocolate. I’ve changed my taste buds and it’s unbelievable. I’ve lost some weight but don’t stress with the number in the scale. I feel good and that’s what matters 😊

[pk]

I’ve seen many of Jay’s interviews on this podcast, but this one made me subscribe. EXCELLENT interview and a fantastic guest. She confirmed studies that I’ve been reading for years but she went above and beyond explaining everything. I feel like I need to rewatch this video again and again to learn and fully absorb what Dr. Pelz says. I’m on my weight loss journey and this has been very inspiring.

[MaheshaRice]

Dr Mindy's teachings literally changed my life. Fast Like a Girl is the most incredible book in empowering women to love living in their bodies. I cannot wait to read Eat Like a Girl! Thank you for interviewing Dr Mindy again! 💞

[MayMay-psms]

❤When i start dieting Dr. Mindy channel is one of the channel i watch. From 68kg-54kg now.. And i love myself morr than before.

[thetroothhurtz]

I loved how Dr. Mindy Pelz let Jay Shetty ramble about his three-meals-a-day routine like a "blue-pilled" sheep, then calmly dismantled his outdated mindset with facts. She didn’t just challenge him—she obliterated the notion that following the herd is the only way, all while keeping her cool. Absolute masterclass in dropping truth bombs with grace.

[cristinamardari]

I usually don’t listen to podcasts and don’t really comment anywhere, but this one is precious. Thank you ! So much information that is hidden from us, yet so important to understand the processes in our body. I’m 33 years old, trying to get pregnant… I’m definitely overweight, but trying to lose it but it won’t leave me. The weight I gained is because of stress, hence compulsive eating. I will definitely look into fasting and all the little advices in this video and really hope to see a change soon in my body, re-gain confidence and improve my mental and physical health ❤

[Amanda]

Wow! As a child of the 80's, I was taught that males and females were all basically the same and so I always resented my monthly cycles and the physical/emotional delicacies that came with being a woman - they felt like a burden or a curse. But, thanks to hearing Dr. Mindy, I have a better appreciation for the roll that female hormones play and the unique complexities of the female body. This information was so helpful! I can't wait to read her books on fasting and eating. I know they will help me navigate my journey through menopause. Wish she'd been there when I was 20. Great interview!

[sabrinaashry]

Hearing about the reality of the food industry is so scary and eye opening. Thank you for this information. I am constantly criticising my body especially when I see other women achieving their weight loss goals when I'm not and instead we should be more accepting of our bodies instead of using social media as a source for what we should look like!
