The Power of Intermittent Fasting For Women with Cynthia Thurlow

Sinclair and Cynthia step into myth-busting mode and set the record straight on many of the current health trends.
Key Ideas:
- When you eat meals and snacks less than 3 hours apart you are neglecting your body time to recover and digest.
- None of us should be snacking. Why you should stop snacking and start eating more protein.
- Living in a continued state of the sympathetic nervous system has a large impact on your digestion.
- Sex hormones play a discrete, yet powerful, role in the gut and overall gut health.
- Intermittent fasting for women requires more consideration and a heightened sense of awareness, especially premenopausal.
- You cannot eat intuitively if your hormones are not properly regulated.
- Thrive on flexibility, not rigidity when it comes to eating healthy.
- Mold exposure may be the factor for significant inflammation in your body.

Memorable Quotes:
"Through adversity comes opportunity. All of us have a backstory, all of us have a pain to purpose story, but it's reframe it to say, okay, this is part of my story, but it's not who I am."
"We (women) have to fast differently, it's as simple as that. We have to fast differently. If we're an athlete, we have to fast a little differently, if we're in menopause we have to fast differently."
"We're not grazing animals. We're not herbivores. Our digestive systems are sophisticated enough that we're designed to eat a meal, probably every four to five hours during a specific amount of time."
"The farther we get away from nature and our circadian biology and eating a more nutrient-dense diet. The more likely we are to be exposed to things that are going to dysregulate our bodies in such a way that we're not going to be metabolically flexible."
