#13: Intermittent Fasting for Women Over 40: Helpful or Harmful?

In this episode, Jenny breaks down the truth about intermittent fasting for women over 40. While fasting can be a powerful tool for weight loss, energy, and metabolic health, Jenny explains why it often feels different, and sometimes worse, during perimenopause. She walks listeners through what intermittent fasting really is (and what it’s not), how it supports blood sugar balance and fat burning, and why so many women struggle when they jump into it too aggressively. Jenny also explains the role of stress, cortisol, and hormonal shifts in midlife, and how these can cause fasting to backfire if the body doesn’t feel safe. Drawing from both personal experience and her work with clients, she shares a more supportive, “gentle fasting” approach, common mistakes to avoid, and simple ways to start incorporating fasting without disrupting hormones. This episode offers a balanced, realistic perspective to help women decide if intermittent fasting is right for their body, and how to do it in a way that actually works.
