Fasting by the clock. 16 hours. 18 hours. The longer, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a long time, intermittent fasting has primarily been defined by numbers and fixed fasting windows. But what happens when your body needs something completely different on certain days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where Flex Fasting<\/strong> comes in \u2013 a new approach to fasting that Dr Mindy Pelz is currently bringing into focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flex Fasting means not rigidly following the same fasting window every day. Instead, you learn to pay closer attention to factors such as stress, sleep, hormonal changes<\/strong> and your body's signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After all, fasting is a hormetic stressor. And more stress isn't automatically better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Especially during perimenopause and menopause,<\/strong> it can be helpful to take a closer look: How much stress is my body currently under? Did I sleep well? Do I feel energised \u2013 or already exhausted?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Flex Fasting raises an interesting question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What if your body, rather than the clock, decided how long you fast today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n For me, this approach fits perfectly with a holistic view of health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It's not about giving up fasting. It's about using fasting more consciously and strategically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On some days, a longer fasting window may feel right. On others, a shorter one may be more appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And perhaps this is the next evolution of fasting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you like to discover which fasting strategy best suits your body and your stage of life?<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is Flex Fasting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flexibility doesn't mean a lack of discipline. It means learning to understand your body's signals.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
