Today’s guest is Cynthia Thurlow, and if you’ve spent any time digging into fasting, metabolism, or women’s health, there’s a good chance you’ve come across her work.Cynthia is a nurse practitioner with over 25 years of experience, but what really stands out is how she’s helping women rethink what’s possible, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Instead of accepting fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal chaos as “just part of aging,” she’s been a leading voice in showing how tools like intermittent fasting and lifestyle shifts can help women take back control.She’s the host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, a widely recognized speaker, and her TEDx talk on intermittent fasting has reached millions around the world. She’s also got a new book coming out, The Menopause Gut, where she dives deeper into the connection between gut health, hormones, and overall metabolic health during this phase of life.And I’ll say this from personal experience, I’ve learned a ton from Cynthia’s work, especially around the benefits of fasting and training your body to become more metabolically flexible. It’s been a game changer in how I think about energy, fat burning, and long-term health.At the core of her work is a simple mission, helping women understand their bodies so they can stop guessing and start making decisions that actually move the needle.This is a conversation about empowerment, metabolic health, and what it really looks like to work with your body instead of against it.Cynthia's TEDx talkCynthia's new book: The Menopause Guthttps://www.cynthiathurlow.com/If this show helps you, and you feel moved to support it, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ko-fi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is the spot.
