How to Nail Your 2026 Health Goals (Fasting, Hormones, & Cycle Timing) with Dr. Mindy Pelz (Part 1)

I love when conversations explain why you suddenly feel like you just can’t do things the same way anymore. In this episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz is back to share what’s actually happening in your brain and body as women move through perimenopause and menopause, and why this phase isn’t a breakdown, it’s a powerful rewiring. We talk about fasting in a way that finally makes sense for women, how estrogen impacts everything from motivation to people-pleasing, and how to take back power over your health in your 40s and beyond. Dr. Mindy breaks down the science behind hormone shifts, brain rewiring, and the importance of your cycle and its timing. Tune in to rethink aging, ambition, and what it really means to earn your happy.

 

In this episode you will learn:

00:00 Why feeling like you “can’t do it all anymore” is actually a sign of growth.

04:45 The hormonal reason women thrive in the first half of their cycle.

09:30 How women should fast differently than men and why cycle timing matters.

13:15 Why fasting and intense workouts backfire the week before your period.

16:30 The simplest way to start fasting without stressing your body.

24:30 How does a 13–15 hour fast impact hormones and longevity?

28:00 The shocking mental health stats driving Dr. Mindy’s new book.

You’re NOT Burned Out, You’re Being Refined

If the old tactics aren’t working anymore, it doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re aware, and awareness is power. In this episode, I break down why this season isn’t asking you to quit, it’s asking you to get more intentional. Success is seasonal, effort isn’t always the answer, and when things feel harder than they used to, it may be feedback, not failure. I also share an exercise to turn how you want to feel in 2026 into an actual strategy so your calendar, energy, and actions support the life you’re building next.

 

In this episode you will learn:

  • Why feeling tired doesn’t mean you’re weak or burned out.
  • How refinement seasons sharpen faith, skills, and clarity.
  • The difference between your zone of genius and your zone of competency.
  • Why effort stops working when alignment is missing.
  • An exercise to turn emotions into a strategy for 2026.

Our Biggest Lessons on Failure, Expansion, & Building Rooms That Change Everything

Growth doesn’t come from getting it right every time. It comes from staying in the game when things go wrong. In this Best of 2025 He Said She Said episode, Chris and I are bringing together three conversations that shaped us the most this year. We’re talking about the moments that tested us, the risks that stretched us, and the rooms that changed how we think, lead, and live. We share stories behind our most cringe-worthy business moments, why your comeback rate matters more than perfection, what Ferrari, Pagani, and Europe taught us about risk and legacy, and how building the right mastermind can collapse timelines faster than anything else we’ve ever done. Tune in for the mindset shifts you need to recover faster and choose better rooms.
