15 Breaking Down Diet Culture, Fasting, and Aging Gratefully: A conversation with Cynthia Thurlow

I’m so excited to strip away the myths and misconceptions about diet culture, fasting, and aging today with my friend and colleague, Cynthia Thurlow.

Cynthia is a nurse practitioner, author of the best selling book Intermittent Fasting Transformation: IF45, 2x TEDx speaker, with her second talk having more than 10 million views, and the host of Everyday Wellness Podcast. With over 20 years experience in health and wellness, Cynthia is a globally recognized expert in intermittent fasting and women’s health, who’s on a mission to educate women on the benefits of intermittent fasting and overall holistic health and wellness, so they feel empowered to live their most optimal lives.

Today she and I strip away the layers about diet culture, perspectives on aging, the impact of estrogen, people pleasing and the shifting roles in parenting. We dare to bare all as we reveal the what, when and how of intermittent fasting and why it may not be a good fit for you and SO MUCH MORE. Cynthia is changing the conversation about nutrition, weight gain and aging so that women around the world can feel more comfortable in their bodies and confident in their skin.

I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I did recording it. Stay tuned for more!
