On Air with Ella - podcast episode 267
CAN CONDENSING YOUR EATING WINDOW HELP WITH HORMONES & HEALING?
For Laurie Lewis, menopause dealt a crushing blow -- brain fog, a lack of balance, memory loss, and the sudden gain of 50 pounds of hormonal fat. She tried everything she knew to feel better, and the methods that worked in the past made no difference. She felt like a stranger in her own body.
After four years of struggle, Laurie stumbled upon Intermittent Fasting and started that day. The menopausal fog lifted in less than one week, and she almost immediately experienced more energy and felt more “like herself.” She lost 51 pounds in 15 months and has kept it off since.
Now, at age 59, Laurie has turned her personal success into the premier thriving Intermittent Fasting coaching business. As a certified health coach (Institute for Integrative Nutrition) she combines her knowledge of nutrition with deep research and practice of Time Restricted Eating.
