The Resetter Podcast with Dr. Mindy

Hormone Replacement Therapy is back in the spotlight, and many women are asking the same questions: Is it safe? Is it right for me? And why does it still feel so confusing? In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down what really happened after the Women's Health Initiative study, why the black box warning was added and later removed, and what newer research has clarified about HRT, timing, hormone type, and delivery method. She explains why lifestyle and metabolic health are the missing pieces in this conversation and why HRT should never be viewed as a standalone solution. This episode is not about telling you yes or no. It's about helping you understand the science so you can make an empowered, informed decision with your doctor.

What actually happens inside your body when you don't eat for 72 hours? Fasting for three days has become one of the most talked-about healing tools — but it's also one of the most misunderstood. Some people believe it's dangerous. Others think it's a quick fix. The truth lives somewhere in between. In this solo episode, I walk you step-by-step through what happens in the body during a 72-hour fast, from blood sugar shifts and ketone production to autophagy, inflammation reduction, immune system renewal, and brain healing. This episode is designed to educate, not pressure. We'll talk about who should and should not attempt a longer fast, why preparation matters, how women should approach fasting differently than men, and how to use fasting as a powerful reset. This episode also serves as a foundational resource for our upcoming FREE 3-Day Water Fast with Hay House, starting January 5, 2026.

Big Wellness is booming and middle-aged women are the target. In this solo episode of The Resetter Podcast, I break down why the wellness industry has exploded, why women in midlife are especially vulnerable to being sold quick fixes, and how to stop outsourcing your health to supplements, influencers, and viral advice. After reading a New York Times article titled "Big Wellness Loves Middle-Aged Women," I wanted to give you a framework for thinking critically about what you're being sold, whether it's a supplement, a biohack, or even a medication. This episode is not about telling you what to buy or what to believe. It's about teaching you how to think for yourself, how to prioritize lifestyle first, how to evaluate quality and integrity, why supplements should be cycled, and why no product is ever going to replace the fundamentals. At the end of the day, your lifestyle saves you, not a 90-second reel.

Women in midlife are questioning their marriages at record rates often feeling more independent, less willing to people-please, and deeply hungry for real emotional connection. But what is actually happening inside women (and men) during this season of life? In this timely and powerful episode, I sit down with renowned therapist and bestselling author Terry Real to unpack what's really driving the "gray divorce" trend — and why so many long-term relationships feel strained during perimenopause and postmenopause. And if you've ever wondered whether midlife relationship struggles mean your marriage is broken or simply ready to evolve, this episode offers the nuance, compassion, and tools that short-form advice can't.

Women in midlife are being told everywhere to "lift heavy," "stop doing cardio," and "hack your hormones" for better metabolic health. But what is actually TRUE for the menopausal body? In this timely re-release, I'm bringing back one of the most important and misunderstood conversations I've ever had — with exercise physiologist and researcher Dr. Stacy Sims. If you've been confused about how to work out in your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a science-backed plan to finally feel strong in your body again. Stacy and I walk through strength training, sprint intervals, "soul food" cardio, injury prevention, brain health, protein and carb timing, plant-based vs omnivore nutrition, creatine, and how to combine fasting with training in a safe and supportive way. And if you've ever wondered whether Stacy and I actually disagree about fasting — this episode will give you the nuance that short-form content never allows.
