#370 Fasting and hormones, insight with Renee Fitton.

In this conversation I welcomed Renee Fitton onto the podcast to discuss some different ideas around fasting and how appropriate it is for women (and men), especially during peri menopause and as we get older. You will see there are a lot of considerations when it comes to fasting and in many cases, jumping into a water only fast is not smart for many of us. We discuss how fasting can directly influence hormones in both a good and bad way - improving insulin, yet impairing others like thyroid and progesterone. Again, a lot to be considered. We hope you enjoy this conversation and let us know if you have any questions or feedback in the comments. :) Renee Fitton MS, RD is a leader in the intersection of nutrition, healthcare, and education.
