The Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, M.D.

Dr. Mark Hyman

We are seeing an ever-increasing burden of chronic disease, primarily driven by our food and food system. This is perpetuated by agricultural, food and health care policies that don’t support health. We need to rethink disease and reimagine a food system and a health care system the protects health, unburdens the economy from the weight of obesity and chronic disease, protects the environment, helps reverse climate change and creates a nation of healthy children and citizens. This podcast is a place for deep conversations about the critical issues of our time in the space of health, wellness, food and politics. New episodes are released every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning. I hope you'll join me.

Listen to the last episode:

There’s been a lot of recent discussion around fasting, and for good reason. But one thing that often slips through the cracks is the differences between men and women, and why women need to take a specific approach to fasting that honors their hormones. You may have heard the recent buzz around fasting and a controversial headline associating it with cardiovascular death (which was not peer-reviewed, by the way). So today, I’m resharing this popular episode with holistic health expert Dr. Mindy Pelz to shed light on what we really know about the safety of fasting, and the dos and don’ts, particularly for women.


We discuss:

  • Will time-restricted eating kill you? Deciphering recent headlines
  • Two major issues happening for women: Understanding hormone cycles and an evolutionary mismatch 
  • Mindy’s expert approach to managing hormones through fasting 
  • Three rules for successfully reintroducing foods 
  • Who should avoid fasting?
  • Tips for women over 40 that aren’t being talked about 
  • The best way to get a handle on hormone testing


Fasting can be an incredibly healing practice, but it’s got to be done the right way—especially for women! Learn how to fast while supporting hormonal balance, and so much more, in this episode with Dr. Mindy Pelz.
