Dr. Mindy Pelz, noted women's health advocate and the bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl and Eat Like a Girl, redefines menopause as a powerful biological upgrade—offering science-backed strategies to help women thrive, reclaim their health, and step into their most vibrant, authentic selves.

Dr. Mindy explores the biological purpose of menopause, revealing how shifting hormones can unlock newfound wisdom, strength, and clarity. Through the lens of the Grandmother Hypothesis, she connects neuroscience, nutrition, fasting, exercise, and emotional well-being to help women optimize their health and embrace this stage of life.
