Video Description

A single shift in your morning routine could change your energy, your mood, and even how you age!! And…your sex drive will improve too! Are you struggling with menopausal weight gain, endless food cravings, or feeling like your body just isn’t working the way it used to? You’re not alone. In this groundbreaking episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Mindy Pelz — leading expert in women’s health, hormone science, and fasting, and author of Age Like a Girl — exposes the truth about why women age differently, what’s really behind weight gain during menopause, and how to train your fat-burning metabolism to finally work with you, not against you. She reveals why everyone should care about women and how they age (it affects more than just women’s health!), the real causes of menopausal weight gain and how it differs from regular weight gain (and yes, it’s fixable!), how to train your metabolic system to burn fat efficiently (even after 40!), the mental health and chronic disease benefits of fasting, (especially for women in menopause), and the dangers of the “Make America Healthy Again” movement (what they’re getting wrong about your health!).
