Is Your Body Really Broken?
Feeling constantly tired? Gaining weight even when you eat less?
Struggling with mood, sleep, or sex drive?
You’re not alone—and you’re not broken.
“The problem isn’t your body. It’s that it’s never had a chance to heal.”
— Dr. Mindy Pelz
We’ve been trained to treat symptoms: take this pill, eat that food, try this diet.
But what if the fastest path to healing… is simply doing nothing?
Just stop eating—for a while.
Let your body catch up.
The Body’s Built-In Healing Mode
Imagine your body as a busy hotel kitchen.When orders never stop, there's…
•
no time to clean the stovetops
•
no chance to fix broken ovens
•
no room to restock properly
But when the kitchen finally closes for the night? That’s when the real work begins: cleanup, repair, reset.Your body is just like that.
It needs pauses between “shifts” to maintain itself.
When you’re constantly eating...Your body is stuck in “digest and store” mode.
It’s focused on breaking down food, not fixing itself.
But when you stop eating—just for a while...Your body shifts into “clean and repair” mode.
That’s when healing, cell recycling, and fat burning begin.
This isn’t starvation.
It’s what your body was designed to do between meals.
The longer the pause, the deeper the reset.
“Fasting isn’t a hack. It’s your default setting.”
Why We Lost This Rhythm
So why don’t we heal anymore?
Because modern life changed the rules:
•
The “breakfast is essential” myth was invented by cereal marketers•
Constant snacks keep insulin high and fat locked in•
Our lotions, perfumes, and plastics are full of hormone disruptors•
Sugar overload hijacks our brain and blocks clarity•
Women especially suffer: stress + toxins = hormone crashes, missed periods, and burnoutWe were meant to feast and fast—
Now we just feast, and our bodies can’t keep up.
A 3-Step Reset You Can Start Today
Here’s what Dr. Mindy recommends to get your healing back on track:
Start fasting
Begin with a 12-hour overnight fast (ex. 7PM to 7AM).
Then gradually expand based on your goal:
•
Brain clarity•
Fat burning•
Injury or immune recovery Eat smarter and cut the hidden toxins
•
Blood sugar is personal—test and track if possible
•
Black coffee is fine during fasts, but no sugar, milk, or creamers
•
Avoid plastics, artificial fragrances, and processed seed oils
Sync with your cycle (for women)
•
In the first half of your cycle, go lower-carb
•
In the second half, support progesterone with healthy carbs like fruits and sweet potatoes
•
During menopause or perimenopause? Go slower, but fasting still works wonders

It’s about doing less—so your body can do more.
Start small.
Just skip the late-night snack.
Wait 12 hours before your next meal.
Then notice what changes.
•
Less bloating
•
Better focus
•
Deeper sleep
That’s your body catching up.
Not eating all the time isn’t extreme.
Never stopping is.
Let your body do what it’s built to do—when you finally give it the time.
