Intermittent fasting for women over 50 and menopause. Powerful protocols for losing weight, boosting metabolism, feeling healthier and happier through all stages. Introduction. Fasting, menopause, and you. Women are like tea bags. We don't know our strength until we are in hot water. Eleanor Roosevelt. I entered menopause when I was about 48. If you're familiar with menopause, you know this firsthand. It sucks. Regardless of age, circumstances, or environment. I felt confused and, for lack of a better word, angry. I had the internet, so I dove into Google, Reddit, and Quora searches for answers to my never-ending list of questions. How long should hot flashes last? Should I be breaking out? Why am I gaining weight? Menopause neck pain? These are just a few of what I'd assume was thousands of searches I did while trying to navigate my changing body. My symptoms were nothing unusual. Hot flashes, fatigue, headaches, waking up in the middle of the night drenched in sticky sweat, etc. But to me, they were completely foreign. What was happening to me? Menopause is scary. It's not a living room or dinner party topic. It's like the birds and the bees conversation you have with your parents. They spoke in hushed tones behind closed doors about taboo topics. Because of this, it's hard to get real, reliable information from the source. You're not alone. For me, menopause didn't hit me until I began feeling its physical effects, like bloating, mood changes, and shifting perceived body image issues. Most women feel similarly. Body image seems like the first thing out of the window during perimenopause. 91% of women across all age groups feel a degree of dissatisfaction with their bodies. And we can assume the number is higher for women entering menopause. Menopausal weight gain is common, but it comes as a real dismay for many women. If you're feeling frustrated, angry, bitter, or experiencing the full-fledged symptoms of menopause, you're in good company. I felt similarly. I've been practicing intermittent fasting on and off since my early 20s. My fasting journey wasn't initially intentional, but over time, I loved what it did to my body. I felt clear, calm, and logical, not to mention what happened to my waist length. I gave up on intermittent fasting in my early 40s. Life gets complicated. Work, family chores, and engagements get in the way, and I let my health fall by the wayside. It wasn't until I researched intermittent fasting and menopause symptom relief that I felt I'd cracked the code. I felt more energized, lost a little bit of weight, and felt much healthier. It doesn't happen overnight. It might take a while. But this isn't about me. This is about you and your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
