If you were to see my copy you would have thought I’ve had it for years. I’ve dog eared the pages and highlighted my favorite sections. This is one of the most life changing books I’ve ever read. I wish this would be required reading for all girls in high school. Dr. Mindy you are a beautiful genius! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world. You are a gift!

A scientifically-inaccurate, dangerous book
Dr. Mindy Pelz is not a medical doctor. She is not a nutritionist. She is not a fasting, energy, or hormonal expert. She is a chiropractor. Actual experts, such as Registered Dietician, Abby Langer, have negatively criticized her book, Fast Like a Girl. The book is published by Hay House, which is not a reputable publisher. Any "facts" Pelz states in the book are not cited in-line, so it's difficult to figure out where she got her "facts." I would not recommend this book. The benefits of intermittent fasting have already been discovered, and there are actual experts who can speak more to it with better safety measures. Pelz hypes up fasting, promising unbelievable results. She advocates for fasting that enters the dieter into ketosis, which is dangerous. She also mentions autophagy as a means to heal and lose weight. Autophagy is a natural process that our bodies continuously undergo, but excessively inducing autophagy by fasting has been scientifically-proven to kill heart cells [1]. 1. "...over-activation of the autophagic process is detrimental, leading to excessive degradation of intracellular components and in turn cardiomyocyte death..." Schiattarella GG, Hill JA. Therapeutic targeting of autophagy in cardiovascular disease. J Mol Cell Cardiol. 2016 Jun;95:86-93.

Fast Like a Girl
I purchased a copy for myself as well as 3 others to give as gifts since Dr. Mindy is giving us women a gift with all the information provided in her book. I also purchased the audio as it makes a perfect companion for the book. When I came across Dr. Mindy on YouTube, I shared with my colleagues as well as many of my friends. We all seem to have the same complaints after we've reached our vaying menopausal stages. The research Dr. Mindy is providing in her book is incredible and perfectly laid out and easy to understand. Three of us at work are now following her guided advice, and the number is growing. If only this book would have taught me what I've now learned and applying to my life when I was first starting my cycle. It would have saved me many years of suffering and confusion. Thank you Dr. Mindy! It's never too late to learn. And never too late to get healthy.
