Synopsis

Your body isn't broken. It's just playing by different rules now.

If you've tried intermittent fasting before and ended up more exhausted, more irritable, and no closer to your goals, you're not alone, and it wasn't your fault. Most fasting advice was written for a 25-year-old man's metabolism, not a woman navigating shifting hormones, a slower metabolism, and the unique demands of midlife.

40 and Fasting changes that.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why your hormones, estrogen, cortisol, and insulin, change the rules of fasting after 40
• The exact fasting method to start with (hint: it's not 16:8) and how to progress safely
• A step-by-step 30-day roadmap to ease into fasting without the crash-and-burn
• How to eat during your window to protect muscle, balance hormones, and stay satisfied
• The real reason most women hit plateaus, and how to break through without extreme measures
• How to combine fasting with exercise to protect bone density and metabolism
• Why sleep and stress matter more than willpower for lasting results

Written with warmth, backed by science, and free of fear-mongering or unrealistic promises, this book gives you a sustainable, hormone-friendly approach to fasting, built for where your body actually is right now, not where generic diet advice assumes it should be.

If you're ready to stop fighting your body and start working with it, this book is your roadmap.
