The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting for Women’s Health

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner and certified wellness coach who focuses on the importance of intermittent fasting (IF) for women. In this video, she explains the connection between fasting and fatigue, as well as some ways to address fatigue while intermittent fasting.

What is Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is a pattern of eating where you cycle between periods of eating and periods of fasting. There are different methods of intermittent fasting, such as the 16/8 method, where you fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window, or the 5:2 method, where you eat normally for 5 days and restrict calories to 500-600 for 2 days. Intermittent fasting has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and better brain function.

The Connection Between Fasting and Fatigue

One common concern about intermittent fasting is that it may cause fatigue. Cynthia explains that this is because our bodies need fuel to function, and when we are not eating, our bodies turn to stored energy sources, such as fat. This process can take some time, and during that transition period, it’s common to experience fatigue. However, Cynthia notes that this should only be temporary, and once the body adjusts to using fat for fuel, energy levels should return to normal.

Strategies for Addressing Fatigue While Intermittent Fasting

If you do experience fatigue while intermittent fasting, there are some strategies you can try to help. Cynthia suggests staying hydrated, as dehydration can contribute to fatigue. She recommends a high-quality electrolyte supplement, such as Simply Hydration, to help replenish electrolytes lost during fasting.

Another strategy is to ensure you are getting enough nutrients during your eating window. Cynthia emphasizes the importance of bio-individuality, meaning that everyone’s nutritional needs are unique. However, she does recommend focusing on nutrient-dense foods, such as vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

Cynthia also mentions the importance of getting enough restful sleep. She recommends using a tool such as the Oura Ring to track sleep and make adjustments to improve sleep quality.

Finally, Cynthia discusses the benefits of supplementing with LMNT, an electrolyte drink mix that can help replenish electrolytes during fasting. She notes that while fasting, it’s important to maintain a balance of electrolytes, and LMNT can help with this.

The Bottom Line

Intermittent fasting can be an effective tool for improving health, but it’s important to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed. If you experience fatigue during fasting, be sure to stay hydrated, focus on nutrient-dense foods, get enough restful sleep, and consider supplementing with electrolytes. Remember, bio-individuality means that what works for one person may not work for another, so be open to experimenting with different strategies. As always, consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new dietary or exercise program.
