Thank you for sharing valuable information. God Bless you. ❤
2 years ago I found you. Over the next year I lost 40 pounds, dropped 2 heart meds and a cardiologist! Over the last 6 months I TOTALLY fell
Off the wagon…I was surprised how easy it is to do. Big food works hard to entice us. I gained 15 pounds back. I just finished the 3 day water fast with the group and I am back on the track to better health! Thank you for continuing to be there for us and educating us!!! I appreciate you and your team!!
What brand Creatine is good to buy ?
Please do mention the name of brand. Thanks
I’m doing my Life Style according with your book Fast Like Girl more than one year and the best device for the beginner what you gave was if you fail one day you restart the other day and it was what brought me until today and I can see all the improvements just for change my life style . Thank you Dr Mindy may God bless you.❤ I started October 2024 and I’m writing this comment January 2026.
I am almost 70. I walk with a 12 pound weighted vest 4-5 times a week. (2.5 to 3 miles). When I started using the vest I walked a shorter distance. I had built up to 3 miles a day without the vest. I mainly wanted to work on my posture. I have come to love it. I also discovered that hip pain came more from not enough support in my shoes.
Thanks this is great info ,appreciate you sharing🙏🌹 going to to purchase your book
Fasting has been an absolute GEM of a strategy in my life. I’ve been lifting HEAVY as well and I feel stronger and more energetic throughout the day bc of these two strategies. Dr. Mindy I have ALL of your books, I just turned 40, and I am ready for this next rockstar of a decade 😎. Thank you so much.
One QUESTION: it is inevitable that there will be a day where I consume more processed foods or sugary treats, do you recommend doing a longer fast after that or just sticking to the normal regimen? Thanks so much.
Yes. I did it. I lost 20 lb this year. Started with intermittent fasting, lost some weight, but real magic happened, when I started to eat low glycemic index foods, fiber and started weight training. It is magical. Now I am looking forward to my workout. ❤
I bought your fast like a girl book and it has made me feel like I am back in control after 40! I am 44 and just keep gaining weight but when I read your book about IF and started watching your videos it has shown me there is something I can do about it!
All the best for you
Amazing video
So useful , I enjoyed watching this
Thank you Dr. Mindy for being here for all of us.
I lost 35lbs last year and kept it off, however, I still have another 55lbs to go. I won't lie, it's been a struggle, but through your teachings I have a wealth of knowledge now. You are an answer to prayer❤
Thank you so much❤
Dr Mindy a friend of mine who is post menopausal had a fall last week and have some body pains. Last year she fell too. Why these falls happen after menopause to some women. She wants to do the 3 day water fast but she still has pains from the fall. What do you advise. Thanks ❤
Soy is said to be detrimental to women regarding breast cancer. Lost my Mom to BC. I don’t want to eat soy. Alternatives?
2 years strict carnivore down 62 lbs…ive gotten by from an athletic youth but 2026 will be my year of strength training.
I started taking creatine but my naturopath said it puts strain on kidneys
Can I go live in a cave again? Why does it have to be so hard 😢
I was taking 5g of creatine and adding collagen and drinking it and it was causing major bloating in my belly so I stopped and it has gone down. Is there a certain brand or other way to get these both in without the side effects.
What is WIGHT?
love your content but your header of your video is spelled wrong says "wight gain"
Thank you Dr Mindy for giving us your expertise. What a God-send you are! I am down 70 pounds! I am in my 50's and was very unhealthy. My PA just kept adding meds till I was on 9 different things. When I just came across you on YouTube and then "Fast like a Girl" you changed me from the inside out. I was put on Mounjaro due to my A1C being dangerously high.
I felt i had been given a gift when I realized I could use my GLP-1 WITH your teachings! I am now healthier than ive ever been. My A1C is 4.8. I love fasting, eating well and exercise of all types!
I tell anyone that will listen about you and your podcasts!
Thanks to you, my 77 year old mom is wanting to start 2026, implementing your teachings! This is truly a miracle. 😭
Thank you for making all of your information easily accessible.
Maybe you could do a video on woman in their 70's and beyond that need to lose weight. Like encouragement, tips, how-to, etc.
I'm 73 and love exercising from a young age all the way now, watch what I eat and still gain weigh☹
What is WIGHT gain?
Do any of your patients deal with gluteal tendon patchy and what do you prescribe? I try and live by Fast Like a Girl and the IF lifestyle. I have been an athlete and weightlifter since my teens. Now ready to hit 68, I have this chronic pain that by all symptoms, aligns with the tendon issue. My husband and I have dove into the red light therapy. Besides this, what would your recommendations be to make improve the discomfort. Thanks and love this channel. Has changed my life.
What MCT oil do you recommend?
Is 75 too old to start taking replacement hormones?
Most women assume weight gain after 40 is about eating more or moving less — but that’s not the part that actually changes first.
