There are challenges that come along with being a woman. While we stand up for equal pay, and make sure our voice is heard, there are many areas around our womanhood that don\u2019t feel like equality and come they don\u2019t necessarily come with the warning lights on.\nWomen\u2019s health is one of those areas where we have to embrace we are different. Our hormones and biology don\u2019t award us the same benefits as men, which is why medical research and studies focused on women is so critical.\nCynthia Thurlow spent the first part of her career as an RN in cardiology and in emergency medicine. Thankfully she pivoted to become the founder of the Everyday Wellness Project and the bestselling author of, Intermittent Fasting Transformation, which focused on fasting for women, losing stubborn weight and improving our hormonal health.\nToday we dig into more than just the benefits of fasting for women, but also the reason women have to fast differently depending on age and where she is in her menstrual cycle. You\u2019ve probably heard about the benefits of fasting but this time we\u2019re focusing on the benefits of fasting for you and your metabolic health.\nCynthia is also going to break down how to implement fasting effectively, and it is the most practical and simplest way to start eating a little less. Her approach is about progression and long term strategy for success, not an all in overnight solution to suffer through.\nCheck out Cynthia\u2019s book, Intermittent Fasting Transformation: https://amzn.to/3CHKG4f\xa0\n\nFollow Cynthia Thurlow:\nWebsite: https://cynthiathurlow.com/\xa0\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cynthiathurlow\xa0\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/_CynthiaThurlow\xa0\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_thurlow_/\xa0\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CHTWellness/\xa0\nPodcast: https://cynthiathurlow.com/podcast/\xa0\xa0\n\nWomen of Impact Podcast is sponsored by Growthday Network: https://growthday.com/podcasts\nFREE 4-Part Confidence Workshop: https://bit.ly/3fZcbO5\n\nSponsors:\nFind your next fleece, parka, or winter jacket in-store or at thenorthface.com.
