"I’ve been very fortunate to work one-on-one with Dr. Mindy, and what she has spent countless hours teaching me is exactly what you are about to learn in the pages that follow. They’re lessons that I believe should be taught to women from the time that we hit puberty but aren’t.
It’s time to re-mother ourselves and empower our hearts and minds with the knowledge that allows us to no longer be at the mercy of anything or anyone outside of ourselves when it comes to our health."
So many women feel unheard by doctors and health professionals and have become exhausted by the promise of quick-fix diets that only leave them disappointed.
As someone who has been in the trenches with them, Dr. Mindy wants to help these women take back control of their health by using fasting, which she says is the quickest path back to better health.
