We talk about resentment, emotional intimacy, the childhood patterns that shape how we handle conflict, and how to communicate your needs without pushing your partner further away. Terry also shares his approach to relational empowerment and why reinventing your relationship may be another option worth exploring.

Insulin resistance can develop gradually, sometimes long before you notice changes in your blood sugar. And while genetics and other health factors play a role, the habits you practice every day can have a meaningful impact on your metabolic health.

In this solo episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz shares six practical habits that can help support insulin sensitivity, particularly for women navigating midlife and hormonal changes.

She explains why the quality of your carbohydrates matters, how a 10-minute walk after meals can influence your blood sugar response, and why building muscle is one of the most valuable things you can do for your metabolism as you age.

You'll also learn how fiber and fermented foods support gut health, why sugary beverages deserve a closer look, and how your sleep routine can affect the way your body responds to insulin.

GLP-1 is a hormone your body naturally produces, and the foods you eat can influence its release. In this episode, I'm walking you through 10 everyday foods that support your natural GLP-1 response, satiety, and gut health, with practical ways to start adding them to your meals.

We get into fiber, protein, resistant starch, fermented foods, polyphenols, and why I've become increasingly focused on building meals around protein and fiber. I'll also show you what happens when you cook and cool potatoes, why plant variety matters, and some of the foods currently sitting in my own refrigerator.

Leanne Morgan spent more than 20 years pursuing comedy before her career exploded in her 50s. Now, at 60, she's selling out arenas, starring in her own Netflix series, and living a life that once felt almost impossible.

In this conversation, we talk about what changed when Leanne stopped worrying so much about what everyone else thought and started trusting herself. We get into menopause, imposter syndrome, aging, ambition, health, family, and what happens when a woman's life gets bigger at the exact age she was taught it should start getting smaller.

Chronic stress can influence your metabolism, sleep, appetite, blood sugar, and where your body tends to carry fat—which makes your nervous system an important part of the belly-fat conversation.

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down what happens to cortisol after you wake up and sharing the simple 10-minute morning routine I want you to try for the next 30 days.

We’ll talk about morning light, your phone, breathwork, movement, hydration, exercise, and how to identify the stressors that may be setting the tone for your entire day. I’ll also explain what I mean by becoming “cortisol flexible” and how you can start working with your stress response instead of constantly feeling controlled by it.

So many women believe they’ll finally feel better about themselves when they lose the weight, change their body, or reach the goal. But changing the outside doesn’t always change how we feel on the inside.

Psychologist and author Dr. Marisa G. Franco joins me to explore where our sense of self-worth actually comes from and how old experiences can continue shaping the way we see ourselves years later.

We talk about body image as we age, menopause, insecurity, nervous system patterns, reparenting, vulnerability, and why learning to acknowledge the parts of ourselves we’d rather push away may be an important part of building genuine self-worth.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the research on creatine, including studies looking specifically at women, and showing you how I personally use it as part of my strength and muscle-building routine.

We'll talk about creatine monohydrate, dosage, consistency, water retention, resistance training, protein, loading phases, and why maintaining muscle becomes increasingly important as we age.

Are carbs actually bad for you, or have we been asking the wrong question? In this episode, I'm sitting down with metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman to unpack one of the most confusing nutrition conversations happening right now.

We talk about how to know how many carbs your body can handle, why your muscle mass and activity level matter, how carbohydrate quality changes your metabolic response, and why the answer may be different depending on where a woman is in her hormonal life.

Ben also explains what happens to insulin sensitivity across the menstrual cycle and after menopause, why fiber matters, how he thinks about food pairing, what a CGM can tell you, and why his perspective on GLP-1 medications has evolved.

Fasting gets a lot of attention for what happens while you’re not eating, but what happens when you start eating again deserves just as much attention.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down one of the most overlooked parts of fasting: the refeed.

She explains why longer isn’t always better when it comes to fasting, how the eating and fasting windows work together, and why protein, carbohydrates, fiber, fermented foods, and plant diversity can all have a place in your fasting rhythm.

She also takes on some of the biggest conversations happening around fasting right now, including thyroid health, muscle loss, the gut microbiome, fasting after 45, GLP-1, autophagy, meal timing, and whether women really need to eat protein first thing in the morning.

Why can changing the way you eat feel so emotional, even when you know exactly what you want to change?

In this conversation, I sit down with therapist and Mother Hunger author Kelly McDaniel to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers that can become intertwined with food.

Through Kelly’s Mother Hunger framework, we look at how early experiences with nurturing, safety, attachment, and caregiving may influence the way some of us relate to food later in life—and why food can sometimes become connected with comfort, connection, routine, and relief.

We also talk about emotional eating, body image, nervous system regulation, fasting, food noise, GLP-1 medications, and the messages about our bodies that can be passed from one generation to the next.

This conversation gave me an entirely new way to think about some of the struggles I’ve seen women experience when changing how they eat, because sometimes there may be more happening beneath the surface than what’s on the plate.

You’re exercising more, fasting more, changing what you eat, and trying everything you know to support your weight, and yet the scale still doesn’t seem to move.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down five foundational habits she wants you to look at before assuming your body simply isn’t responding. She explores how fibre-rich foods can support satiety and your gut microbiome, why walking after meals can benefit blood sugar, how meal timing interacts with your circadian rhythm, and why sleep and consistency deserve a much bigger place in the weight-loss conversation.

She also explores GLP-1, food noise, nervous system state, and what research tells us about maintaining weight loss after stopping GLP-1 medications.

The takeaway is refreshingly practical: instead of chasing another complicated strategy, start by looking at the everyday rhythms you can actually repeat.

In this conversation, I sit down with Emma-Louise Boynton to explore what happens when we begin reconnecting with our bodies through pleasure, presence, and curiosity rather than constant criticism. We talk about body image, intimacy, sex therapy, self-pleasure, mindfulness, and the small everyday practices that can help you feel more at home in your body.

Because your relationship with your body affects far more than how you see yourself, it shapes how you experience your life.

What if a healthier relationship with food started with enjoying it more?

In this episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy sits down with acclaimed chef and Next Level Chef mentor Nyesha Arrington for a conversation about food that goes far beyond calories, macros, or following the “perfect” diet.

Nyesha shares how cooking with her grandmother shaped her relationship with food from childhood, why recipes can carry memories and identity across generations, and how years in professional kitchens taught her to see food as art, connection, and eventually, fuel.

They also get practical: cooking oils, salt, spices, kitchen tools, meal prep, fasting, strength training, hydration, and the small upgrades Nyesha has made that helped her feel dramatically better in her body.

Plus, Nyesha opens up about leadership in high-pressure kitchens, working alongside Gordon Ramsay, earning the title of “Chef,” and why she refuses to fit into anyone else’s definition of what a woman should look like.

In this solo episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy walks through how she believes women can use the menopausal transition to better understand their nervous systems, reconnect with parts of themselves they may have lost, and begin building the next chapter of life more intentionally.

She explores why so many women arrive in midlife already overwhelmed, why learning to regulate your nervous system may need to come before another health protocol, and how years of putting everyone else first can shape the way women experience this transition.

Later in the episode, LeAnn Rimes joins Dr. Mindy for a candid conversation about overwhelm, perfectionism, boundaries, HRT, nutrition, self-care, and what it looks like to listen to your body while living a very full life.

If you’re eating less, exercising more, and fasting harder but still struggling to lose weight after 40, Dr. Mindy wants you to approach fat loss differently. This solo episode of Live Like a Girl is a special compilation of two of Dr. Mindy’s teachings on fat burning and metabolic health after 40.

In the first half, she breaks down why fat loss can become more challenging as estrogen changes and shares five strategies for training your body to become more metabolically flexible, from strength training and walking to fasting, protein pacing, and sleep.

Then she turns to dietary fat and explains why the type of fat you eat matters. She walks through visceral fat, omega fatty acids, and five foods she uses to support a healthier metabolic environment. 

The common thread throughout both conversations: fat loss after 40 requires a strategy that works with your changing metabolism.

Laila Ali spent years training to win. As an undefeated professional boxer, her body was her career. She knew exactly how to train harder, eat less, and make weight when she needed to. Then perimenopause changed the rules.

In this episode of Live Like a Girl, Laila joins Dr. Mindy for an honest conversation about what happened when her old strategies stopped working, why she eventually stopped trying to outwork her hormones, and how fasting helped her build a completely different relationship with her body.

They talk about long fasts, exercising while fasting, food noise, refeeding, sugar cravings, body image, the scale, stress, and what it means to train for health instead of performance.

Laila also shares how she talks to her teenage daughter about fasting, why she refuses to make healthy eating feel like punishment, and the lesson she learned from becoming a boxer against Muhammad Ali’s wishes: sometimes the most important thing you can do is listen to the spark inside you.

I’ve been teaching fasting for years, but this conversation with Dr. Jason Fung made me rethink a few things.

Dr. Fung joins me to share how his thinking has evolved since publishing The Obesity Code, including what newer research suggests about longer fasts and why modified fasting may be more useful than many people realize.

We talk about whether a strict water-only fast is always necessary, how fasting aids such as bone broth, avocado, or olives may help someone continue longer, and why using a little support during a fast is not automatically “cheating.”

Dr. Fung also breaks down the three types of hunger and explains why food noise is not always a sign that your body needs fuel. Sometimes hunger is physical. Sometimes it is emotional. And sometimes it is simply a pattern your brain has learned from your environment.

This conversation reminded me that fasting does not have to be rigid to be effective. The goal is not to win at fasting. The goal is to use it in a way that supports your metabolic health and still works in your real life.

For decades, women have been taught to lose weight by eating less, doing more cardio, and watching the number on the scale.

But losing weight is not always the same as becoming healthier.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a recent meta-analysis showing that adults between 60 and 75 years old were able to lose body fat, gain lean muscle, improve blood pressure, and build functional strength through resistance training.

She also challenges five of the most persistent weight-loss myths women have been taught, including the idea that cardio is the best way to burn fat, hunger is a willpower problem, and the scale is the most important measure of progress.

You’ll learn how protein, resistance training, sleep, blood-sugar tracking, and progressive challenge can help you improve body composition without sacrificing your muscle or metabolic health.

Weight loss is not a character test. It is a strategy, and most women were simply given the wrong one.

Most women know they should move their bodies, eat well, and protect their sleep. But creativity rarely makes the list.

In this conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with Dr. Daisy Fancourt to explore the growing body of research showing that art is far more than entertainment or decoration. Music, reading, dancing, crafting, storytelling, and even spending time with a painting can affect stress, mood, cognition, connection, and the nervous system.

Daisy explains why creative activities can help the brain enter a state of flow, how music can slow the heart rate, and why reading fiction may strengthen empathy by allowing us to experience the world through another person’s perspective. She also shares why knitting, singing, dancing, and other so-called “grandmother hobbies” are finding their way back into modern life.

If you are hungry all the time, exhausted after meals, craving sugar, or suddenly gaining weight around your middle, your body may be signaling something deeper than a need to eat less.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains why nearly four in ten American adults now meet the criteria for metabolic syndrome—a collection of warning signs that can include elevated blood sugar, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, increased waist circumference, and changes in liver health.

She breaks down four common drivers that can quietly push the body toward metabolic dysfunction: unstable blood sugar, chronic stress, poor sleep, and inflammation associated with excess body fat.

You will also learn why crash dieting, excessive cardio, and relying on appetite-suppressing supplements rarely address the real problem. Instead, Dr. Mindy shares five practical ways to support your metabolism through food order, walking after meals, resistance training, better sleep, and a more flexible approach to fasting.

Your body is not working against you. It may simply need a different strategy.

She opens up about the unpredictability of her hormones, the exhaustion of trying to maintain the same pace she has carried for decades, and the difference between anxious thoughts and anxiety that lives in the body. 

Together, LeAnn and Dr. Mindy explore why perimenopause can make old wounds feel louder, why hormone therapy can help without solving everything, and what it looks like to slow down when your identity has always been tied to performing, producing, and pushing through.

This is a conversation about hormones, but it is also about identity, capacity, anger, rest, and the question so many women begin asking in midlife: who do I want to be now?

Why are so many women doing everything "right" and still struggling to lose weight?

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains why the missing piece may not be your diet or workout routine, it may be your nervous system. When your body is stuck in chronic fight-or-flight, it prioritizes survival over fat burning, making weight loss feel impossible despite your best efforts.

You'll learn how chronic stress impacts cortisol, cravings, digestion, sleep, and metabolism, the five signs your nervous system may be keeping you stuck, and practical ways to help your body shift back into a state where healing and sustainable weight loss become possible. From fasting and food to movement, sleep, and simple daily habits, Dr. Mindy shares actionable strategies to help your body feel safe enough to finally let go of stubborn weight.

Millions of women have been told they have PCOS. Millions more have been told nothing is wrong at all.

Now, one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women has a new name: PMOS, Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The change reflects what experts have long understood, this condition is about far more than the ovaries. It's deeply connected to metabolism, insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormone balance.

In this episode, Dr. Mindy is joined by Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, renowned OB-GYN and co-host of the She MD podcast, along with entrepreneur and women's health advocate Mary Alice Haney. Together, they unpack why so many women go undiagnosed, why insulin resistance isn't always visible on the outside, and how lifestyle, nutrition, and early intervention can dramatically change a woman's health trajectory.

Losing weight is one challenge. Keeping it off is another.

Research shows that most people regain the weight they've lost within a few years, not because they lack willpower, but because they were never taught what comes after weight loss.

In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down the science behind weight regain and shares the eight most common reasons people struggle to maintain their results. From metabolic flexibility and hormone balance to muscle, stress, and sleep, she explains why lasting success requires a different approach than simply losing weight.

You'll also learn five practical steps to help your body adapt to its new weight, support a healthy metabolism, and build habits that last long after the scale changes.

If you've ever lost weight only to gain it back, this episode will help you understand why and show you a different path forward.

From emotional eating and food noise to perfectionism, people pleasing, burnout, and the struggle to trust ourselves, so many of the habits we think are personality traits are actually learned survival strategies.

We also explore why healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have always been there.

If you've ever wondered why you know what to do for your health but still struggle to follow through, this conversation offers a completely different way to understand yourself.

In this episode, you'll learn:

For years we've been told that if fasting is good, then fasting longer must be better.

That simply isn't true.

Fasting is one of the most powerful healing tools we have, but it's also a stressor. Like exercise, the benefits don't come from the stress itself. They come from how well your body recovers afterward.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy explains how to tell whether fasting is supporting your metabolism or pushing your nervous system beyond its limits. You'll learn the five green lights that signal your body is adapting well, the five red flags that tell you it's time to pull back, and simple ways to adjust your fasting practice based on your hormones, stress levels, and stage of life.

Whether you're new to fasting or you've been doing it for years, this episode will help you stop guessing and start working with your body instead of against it.

In this episode you'll learn:

What if the biggest obstacle to better health isn't your diet and instead it's the relationship you've built with your body?

In this conversation, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Rachel Goldman to unpack why so many women struggle with body image, emotional eating, food noise, and self-worth, especially during midlife.

We explore why lasting health isn't built through shame or punishment. It's built through curiosity, compassion, and learning to work with your body instead of constantly fighting against it.

We also discuss the psychology behind food noise, body neutrality, GLP-1 medications, menopause, emotional eating, and why your relationship with yourself influences every health decision you make.

If you've ever felt like your body has betrayed you, this episode offers a different perspective.

Americans spent more than $69 billion on supplements last year, yet nutrient deficiencies are still widespread.

Somewhere along the way, wellness became a cabinet full of pills, powders, and promises. But what if better health isn't about taking more?

In this episode, I share the five supplements I would prioritize if I had to start over today. These aren't trendy products or quick fixes. They're foundational nutrients that support metabolism, hormones, muscle, brain health, and healthy aging, especially for women in midlife.

You'll also learn why supplements should never replace a healthy lifestyle, how soil depletion and processed foods have changed the nutrient quality of our food, and simple ways to get more of these nutrients through whole foods first.

If your supplement routine feels overwhelming, this episode will help you simplify it.

For years we've been told that healing trauma means talking about it. But what if talking isn't enough?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Harvard-trained psychiatrist and world-renowned trauma expert Dr. Frank Anderson to explore why trauma isn't simply stored in your memories. It's stored in your body.

We discuss why so many women find old wounds resurfacing during perimenopause and menopause, why food often becomes a coping mechanism for unresolved trauma, and why traditional talk therapy doesn't always create lasting healing.

Dr. Anderson shares the science behind trauma, nervous system regulation, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, psychedelics, and the small daily experiences that help your brain and body finally feel safe again.

If you've ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way despite years of personal growth, this conversation will help you understand what your body has been trying to tell you all along.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why talking about trauma doesn't always heal it
• How trauma becomes stored inside the body
• The surprising reason menopause often brings unresolved trauma to the surface
• Why emotional eating is often a protective response
• How fasting reveals hidden emotional patterns around food
• Why triggers are valuable clues instead of something to fear
• The role of EMDR, Internal Family Systems, somatic therapies, and psychedelics in trauma recovery
• Simple daily practices that begin creating lasting healing

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The difference between sugar-burning and fat-burning metabolism
• Why blood sugar crashes create cravings and food noise
• How meal order affects your metabolic health

For our very first guest on the The Live Like a Girl podcast, I sat down with the woman who taught generations of us how to take back our financial power: Suze Orman.

Here’s why I had to start here. I spend my life helping women with hormones, weight loss, menopause, and underneath almost all of it sits one thing – cortisol. And when you scratch beneath the “cortisol surface,” so often what you find is money stress. So I brought in the icon herself to talk about what’s really keeping women sick and stuck, and what to do about it.

We get into self-worth and net worth, why women hand over their financial power, the spender-to-saver shift, divorce and the sandwich generation, the truth about your home and your car, what AI is about to do to all of us, and the money moves that matter most in 2026. Suze also shares her origin story – from waitress to financial icon and I know it will light a fire in you.

This one is a masterclass. So bring a notebook and get ready. If you’re wanting the deeper dive on exactly how to invest now, we’re giving you a special offer of Suze’s Masterclass: suzeorman.com/drmindy

After five years as The Resetter Podcast, everything changes. Welcome to Live Like a Girl.

In this first episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz explains why she retired a name she loved and what she's building in its place. The truth driving it all: women aren't thriving, and most of the health advice out there was never written for us to begin with.

She opens with the numbers on Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety, cancer, and heart disease, then digs into why the science behind "evidence-based" wellness has left women out, and why fifteen-minute doctor visits and almost no nutrition training can't fix it. From there she lays out the five principles that shape this whole new season: mindset matters, regulate first, honor your rhythms, everything is health, and collaboration over competition.

It's a conversation about the body, but also about culture, conditioning, and finally taking up space. A preview of what's coming this season, including Suze Orman on money and wellbeing and Frank Anderson on trauma and metabolism.

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.

This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.

First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.

Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.

Lately, it feels like women are carrying more than ever, mentally, emotionally, hormonally, and neurologically.

In this week’s conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with internal medicine physician and brain health expert, Dr. Austin Perlmutter, to talk about what modern life is doing to our brains and why so many people feel overstimulated, foggy, anxious, disconnected, and exhausted.

Together, they discuss:

One of our favorite parts of this conversation was the reminder that healing doesn’t always need to be complicated. Sometimes the most powerful changes are the ones that bring us back to how humans were designed to live in the first place.

GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss, metabolism, and women’s health. But are we asking the right questions about long-term health?

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down the science behind GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, including what they do well, where concerns are emerging, and how fasting mimics many of the same metabolic benefits naturally.

Dr. Mindy explores:
 • The connection between GLP-1 drugs and muscle loss
 • Why women over 40 need to think differently about metabolism
 • New research linking GLP-1s to declining bone density
 • How fasting impacts glucagon, ketones, and fat burning
 • The importance of protein, refeeding, and resistance training
 • Why metabolic flexibility matters more than rapid weight loss
 • Natural ways to stimulate your body’s own GLP-1 production

This episode is not about fear or shame. It’s about helping you understand your options so you can make informed decisions for your body, your hormones, and your long-term health.

If you’ve ever felt like you were failing at something you were supposed to be naturally good at – this conversation will set you free.

Elinor Cleghorn is a feminist historian and the author of A Woman’s Work: Reclaiming the Radical History of Mothering, and in this deeply personal, wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mindy, she unpacks one of the most important questions of our time: why has motherhood been so diminished, misunderstood, and so weaponized against the very women who do it?

From the myth of the perfect maternal instinct to the constructed guilt that has silenced women for centuries, from the empty nest to the role of fatherhood in healing the masculine wound, this conversation goes everywhere. It's equal parts history lesson, permission slip, and love letter to every woman who has ever given everything to raising a family and wondered whether she was doing it right.

We've had a lot of important menopause conversations, but nobody's given us the manual for the gut until now.

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and author of the brand new book, The Menopause Gut. And in this conversation, she and Dr. Mindy pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked and misunderstood pieces of the entire menopause puzzle: the estrobolome.

This conversation is a must-listen for any woman in perimenopause or beyond who feels like she's doing everything right and still not feeling better. It's also essential if you've ever taken the pill, struggled with gut issues, or wondered whether your mood, sleep, and waistline might have more to do with your microbiome than your hormone panel.

What if the reason you don't trust yourself was engineered centuries ago — on purpose?

In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with feminist theologian and author Meggan Watterson to uncover the deliberate suppression of women's inner authority and what reclaiming it looks like right now.

Meggan draws on 30 years of scholarship — including the long-buried Gospel of Mary and the Acts of Paul and Thecla — to show that the most powerful women in early Christianity weren't lost to history by accident. They were erased because their message was too dangerous: that the greatest power doesn't come from institutions, hierarchies, or external permission. It comes from within.

In this conversation you'll learn:

Why women's self-doubt has roots in a 4th-century political decision

What the Gospel of Mary teaches about the "spiritual eye of the heart"

Why ending the war with your body is the first act of reclaiming your power

Why rage is sacred — and why feeling it fully is healing

What it means to "baptize yourself" in today's world

If you've ever felt unworthy, silenced, or too much — this episode is for you.

Have you ever blamed menopause for your inability to focus — only to wonder if something bigger is going on? I know I did. For years I thought brain fog was just about hormones, but this conversation cracked that wide open for me.

I sat down with Dr. Zelana Montminy, positive psychologist and author of Finding Focus, and what she shared genuinely stopped me in my tracks. Focus isn't a character flaw. It's a biological state. And most of us, especially women in midlife, have been operating in chronic nervous system dysregulation for so long, we don't even know what regulated feels like anymore.

In this episode, we unpack why distraction is so often dysregulation in disguise, how the cultural expectation of multitasking has wrecked our brains, and why the "brain fog" you're experiencing might have less to do with estrogen and everything to do with decades of cognitive overload. We also talk about grief — the big kind and the micro kind — and how unprocessed loss quietly tanks our ability to show up and focus.

If you're a woman in midlife wondering why you can't seem to finish a thought, this one is for you.

Cancer rates are rising rapidly, especially among younger women. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Mindy sits down with integrative cancer expert Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy to explore what is driving this surge and what women need to understand about prevention.

Dr. Connealy shares her 40 years of clinical experience treating chronic illness and cancer. She explains why hormones are only one small piece of the health puzzle and why lifestyle, stress, toxins, sleep, and metabolic health play a much larger role in disease risk.

Together they break down the truth about hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, peptides, and fasting. Most importantly, they explain how women can create an internal environment where their cells can thrive.

If you've ever felt pressure to be the "good girl," you're not the only one.

Dr. Mindy has heard from thousands of women who feel exhausted by the pressure to be agreeable, accommodating, and selfless. Many women were taught that being good meant putting everyone else first. But over time, that pattern often leads to resentment, burnout, and a deep disconnection from your own voice.

That's why Dr. Mindy invited writer and cultural critic Elise Loehnen to join her for this conversation.

Elise is the former Chief Content Officer of goop and the New York Times bestselling author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. Through her writing and podcast Pulling the Thread, Elise explores the cultural expectations that shape women's lives and how those expectations influence our relationships, emotions, and sense of identity.

In this conversation, Dr. Mindy and Elise unpack the invisible rules women have been taught to live by for generations. They explore why women were conditioned to suppress emotions like anger and envy, how people-pleasing shows up in female friendships, and why learning to trust your intuition is one of the most important skills a woman can develop.

In this episode, you'll learn how to:

-Reconnect with your intuition and inner authority -Understand the cultural conditioning shaping women's behavior -Recognize how suppressed emotions impact your health -Navigate female friendships with more awareness -Step out of people-pleasing patterns -Reclaim your voice and authenticity

For any woman who feels like she has been living by expectations that don't truly belong to her, this conversation offers a new perspective. It helps you understand where those patterns came from and how to begin trusting yourself again.

It's not about motivation. It's not about discipline. And it's not because you're "getting older."

In this episode, Dr. Mindy breaks down a shift that almost no one explains to women:

Estrogen stimulates creatine production.

And when estrogen declines in perimenopause and menopause, creatine can decline too.

Creatine isn't just a gym supplement. It's critical for cellular energy. It helps recycle ATP, the fuel your muscles and brain run on. When ATP drops, strength, recovery, and mental clarity can shift with it.

This conversation will change how you think about midlife performance.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What creatine actually does inside the female body

Why creatine matters more after 40

The connection between estrogen, ATP, and muscle strength

How creatine supports brain energy and stress resilience

What the research says about safety and dosing

Who should consider creatine, and who shouldn't

How to support strength long term through physiology, not willpower

If you're lifting heavier but building less muscle… If your brain feels slower under pressure… If you've been blaming yourself for feeling "off"…

In this episode of The Resetter Podcast, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with Sara Szal for a thoughtful conversation about discernment, trust, and why so many women are quietly questioning the wellness and health narratives they were once told to accept.

Rather than telling listeners what to believe, this discussion explores how to think, how to stay grounded, curious, and connected to your intuition without slipping into fear, cynicism, or blind trust. Together, they talk about power, silence, authority, and why learning to ask better questions is an essential part of women's health, safety, and self-trust.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner guidance in a world full of noise.

In this episode of The Resetter Podcast, Dr. Mindy Pelz sits down with hormone expert Dr. Sonya Jensen for a deeply honest conversation about how hormones shape our emotions, behaviors, relationships, and sense of self across every stage of a woman's life.

Together, they explore why emotional reactions intensify during hormonal transitions, how resentment and rage often have ancestral roots, and why symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, and overwhelm are not character flaws, but signals from the body asking for support.

Dr. Sonya introduces her "HER Cycle" framework, showing how hormones, emotions, and relationships are always influencing one another and how healing often begins in the body, not the mind.

If you've been trying to lose weight and feel stuck, this episode will reframe everything you've been taught.

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz explains why weight loss is not a calorie problem, it's a hormonal one. She breaks down how insulin and cortisol control fat storage, why vitamin D acts like a hormone in the body, and how one simple morning habit can help reset your circadian rhythm and support stubborn fat loss.

Dr. Mindy introduces the idea of a weight loss toolbox, reminding you that no single strategy works for everyone. She also answers listener questions about weight loss plateaus, fasting challenges, cravings, and building muscle while fasting.

This episode is about learning how to work with your body instead of fighting it and why small, consistent habits can create powerful change.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Emma Heming-Willis and Helen Christoni for an honest conversation about women's brain health, dementia risk, emotional overload, and the profound changes women experience in midlife.

Women are nearly twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer's disease, yet most are never taught how menopause, estrogen decline, chronic stress, caregiving, and emotional suppression impact the female brain. In this episode, we unpack the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's, why brain changes can begin decades before diagnosis, and why midlife is a critical window for awareness and prevention, not fear.

We also explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as irritability, withdrawal, resentment, or burnout, why so many women feel disconnected from themselves in their 40s and 50s, and how telling the truth, emotionally and relationally, becomes essential for both brain and body health.

Hormone Replacement Therapy is back in the spotlight, and many women are asking the same questions: Is it safe? Is it right for me? And why does it still feel so confusing?

In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down what really happened after the Women's Health Initiative study, why the black box warning was added and later removed, and what newer research has clarified about HRT, timing, hormone type, and delivery method. She explains why lifestyle and metabolic health are the missing pieces in this conversation and why HRT should never be viewed as a standalone solution.

This episode is not about telling you yes or no. It's about helping you understand the science so you can make an empowered, informed decision with your doctor.

What actually happens inside your body when you don't eat for 72 hours?

Fasting for three days has become one of the most talked-about healing tools — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe it's dangerous. Others think it's a quick fix. The truth lives somewhere in between.

In this solo episode, I walk you step-by-step through what happens in the body during a 72-hour fast, from blood sugar shifts and ketone production to autophagy, inflammation reduction, immune system renewal, and brain healing.

This episode is designed to educate, not pressure. We'll talk about who should and should not attempt a longer fast, why preparation matters, how women should approach fasting differently than men, and how to use fasting as a powerful reset.

This episode also serves as a foundational resource for our upcoming FREE 3-Day Water Fast with Hay House, starting January 5, 2026. Save your spot here: https://bit.ly/waterfast2026

Big Wellness is booming and middle-aged women are the target.

In this solo episode of The Resetter Podcast, I break down why the wellness industry has exploded, why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to being sold quick fixes, and how to stop outsourcing your health to supplements, influencers, and viral advice.

After reading a New York Times article titled "Big Wellness Loves Middle-Aged Women," I wanted to give you a framework for thinking critically about what you're being sold, whether it's a supplement, a biohack, or even a medication.

This episode is not about telling you what to buy or what to believe. It's about teaching you how to think for yourself, how to prioritize lifestyle first, how to evaluate quality and integrity, why supplements should be cycled, and why no product is ever going to replace the fundamentals.

At the end of the day, your lifestyle saves you, not a 90-second reel.
