When Your Body Becomes Your Enemy
Women are drowning in health advice that wasn't designed for them. We've been told to eat less, move more, and follow the same fasting protocols that work for men-yet 41% of women over 21 struggle with obesity, and rates of thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and hormonal chaos continue to climb. What if the problem isn't your willpower or discipline, but the fundamental misunderstanding that women's bodies operate on an entirely different metabolic rhythm than men's? The rise of intermittent fasting promised a revolution, but for many women, it delivered anxiety, hair loss, and disrupted cycles instead of the effortless weight loss they'd hoped for. The missing piece isn't another restrictive protocol-it's understanding that your hormones fluctuate on a 28-day cycle that demands a completely personalized approach to when and how you fast.
