Dr. Gundry's private practice: (760) 323-5553

All too often women’s health issues are misdiagnosed, dismissed as something less critical, or chalked up as a “normal part of aging”. 

And unfortunately, many women in particular go years  — or even their entire lifetime — left in the dark when it comes to how to best support their health. 

That’s why in this episode I brought on Cynthia Thurlow, a time-restricted eating expert, nutrition educator, and nurse practitioner who is empowering women across the globe to live their most vibrant, healthy lives.  

Cynthia is also the author of the book Intermittent Fasting Transformation. 

Cynthia and I dive into some of these unique health issues women face, and why they should NOT be following all of the same health advice as men. 

We also share how you can use time-controlled eating and other powerful health techniques to help burn stubborn fat, slow the effects of aging, and gain back your energy.

  • The real way to eat throughout the day to rev up your metabolism (10:30)
