154. Why Hardcore Fasting Doesn’t Work for Moms With Chronic Symptoms

Hey friend!

Ever tried fasting and ended up hangry, shaky, or crashing by 2 PM?
You’re not alone — and you’re not doing it wrong. In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth about fasting for women dealing with chronic illness, fatigue, and hormone imbalances.

You’ll hear my personal story of a fasting fail (complete with tears and laundry), plus the science behind how fasting works — and when it can actually backfire.

We’ll explore:
✔️ The healing power of fasting – and real risks if your body’s not ready
✔️ Gentle alternatives to harsh fasts that still support detox and energy
✔️ How to know if your body is ready to fast — or needs more support first

If you’re tired, burned out, or in a flare-up, this is the kind of practical, grace-filled health advice you need.
