147. Is Intermittent Fasting Helping You, or Stressing Your Body Out?

from The Potential Project · host Sean Calhoun

Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular strategies for weight loss, energy, and better health, but is it actually the right fit for women in menopause?In this episode, I break down what intermittent fasting really is, why we all naturally fast overnight while we sleep, and why fasting can be helpful for some people but stressful for others.I also talk about why many menopausal women may feel better when they stop skipping breakfast, start fueling earlier in the day, and finish dinner earlier at night to give their body time to digest, regulate blood sugar, and support better sleep.This episode is not about saying fasting is good or bad.It is about understanding your body, your season of life, and whether your current eating rhythm is helping you feel energized, strong, and in control, or leaving you tired, hungry, wired, and frustrated.Watch my free masterclass HERE
