The tool that helped me reset my relationship with food, support my metabolic health, and reconnect with my body.
Spilling the Tea: My Health Journey
About a year ago, I started getting really honest with myself about my health – physically, emotionally, and energetically.
I began exploring intermittent fasting – then took it a step further.
In April 2025, I completed a seven-day water fast.
Now, let me be clear-this was intense, and not something that I would overall recommend. But it taught me something profound; my relationship with food ran much deeper than nourishment. (Let’s be honest I already knew that BUT this was the message on steroids.)
Food had been comfort. A coping mechanism. A way to navigate stress. To push emotions or stories down (my throat).
And stepping away from it – even briefly – helped me begin to break that cycle.
From Deprivation to Awareness
The experience opened the door to deeper exploration. I studied ketosis. I learned what it felt like to function without constantly relying on food. And I began reconnecting with my body in a completely new way.
But I also knew this: long-term or repeated water fasting isn’t ideal – especially for women in perimenopause and menopause, where maintaining muscle mass is essential.
So I kept searching for something more sustainable.

Why I Chose Prolon
Through my research—and inspiration from voices like Mindy Pelz—I discovered a powerful alternative: The fasting-mimicking approach. That’s when I found ProLon.
What Is ProLon?
ProLon is a 5-day fasting-mimicking program designed to give your body the benefits of fasting—without completely depriving it of nourishment and muscle!
By strategically reducing calories and specific nutrients, your body enters a fasting state, triggering powerful processes like:
Can I tell you how many patients need the support from this ? I certainly did. These benefit help reset our health journey.
All while helping preserve lean muscle mass—something especially important for women in midlife.
Could Prolon Be Right for You?
Fasting – of any kind – is not one-size-fits-all. But for many women navigating:
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
Hormonal shifts impacting your health
METABOLIC SYNDROME
Difficulty losing weight, increased abdominal weight, metabolic challenges.
INSULIN RESISTANCE OR PREDIABETES
Support for blood sugar regulation and metabolic function.
INFLAMMATION
Chronic inflammation can impact energy, weight, and overall well-being.
WEIGHT GAIN
Stubborn weight that’s hard to lose, especially in midlife.
FEELING STUCK
You know you need a reset – but aren’t sure where to begin.
This approach can be a powerful tool when used intentionally and safely.
