Today's episode is sponsored by Paleovalley Turmeric Complex. Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties but did you know it has also been shown to support cellular health, workout recovery, joint health, and brain function? And not all turmeric is created equal, which is why I always choose Paleovalley Turmeric Complex. Paleovalley uses whole food turmeric and adds coconut oil and black pepper to help with the absorption of turmeric by 2,000%.

Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, fasting and nutrition expert, and a two-time TEDx speaker. She is joining this episode to talk about her advocacy of helping women age gracefully without the pains of weight gain and hormonal issues. She talks about the importance of carb cycling and taking a proactive step to managing hormonal imbalance, allowing the body’s hormones to work harmoniously together. She believes that fasting and nutrition are key elements for better physical, mental, and emotional health.   “We can create a very personalized food elimination diet. We can reap the benefits of famine and fasting if we do it the right way.” -Cynthia Thurlow    Subscribe to the podcast on: Apple Podcast Stitcher Spotify PodBean TuneIn Radio   In This Episode:   - Dodge the dangers of going “too low” on carbohydrates which can derail your keto diet    - Why premenopausal women, in particular, should avoid alcohol and THESE 3 foods to fend off the biggest triggers for inflammation.   - This long-bastardized component in foods -- alongside animal protein -- offers the secret key to women’s nutritional needs.   - Have more fun in fasting -- unless you are part of the toughest group that struggles the most to adapt   - How to figure out if you are one of the types of women who are the WORST candidates for fasting (and other pre-fasting insights)    - Train your body to balance your hormones and kick your carb addiction to the curb so you can adapt to intermittent fasting sooner!    Resources:   - Paleovalley Turmeric - Use Code JOCKERS for 15% off   -  The Fasting Transformation by Dr. David Jockers   Connect with Cynthia Thurlow:   - LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-thurlow-50395a9/   - Website – https://cynthiathurlow.com/   - Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/CHTWellness/   - Twitter – https://twitter.com/_CynthiaThurlow   - Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/cynthia_thurlow_/   Connect with Dr. Jockers:   - Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjockers/   - Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/DrDavidJockers   - YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/user/djockers   - Website – https://drjockers.com/   - If you are interested in being a guest on the show, we would love to hear from you!
