    Optimizing Female Health, Mindy Pelz on Fasting, Menopause, and Fertility

    In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I speak with Dr. Mindy Pelz, a fasting researcher, bestselling author, and expert in women’s health. Dr. Pelz shares the latest science on what happens in the body after a fast—and why your first meal can significantly influence the results of your fasting routine. We explore how fasting impacts the gut microbiome, the types of foods that support recovery and metabolic health post-fast, and which foods can diminish the benefits of your efforts. Dr. Pelz also discusses the role of fermented foods and essential minerals like magnesium and zinc in optimizing fasting outcomes. You’ll gain insight into common fasting mistakes, how fasting protocols should differ between men and women, and how stress and hormonal shifts—especially during menopause—affect digestion and nutrient absorption. Whether you’re new to fasting or refining your approach, this episode offers evidence-based strategies to help you break your fast in a way that supports long-term health and vitality.   What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction  00:51 From Chiropractics To Writing Books 06:01 Should Women Fast? 10:08 Why You Should Rest Before Your Period 12:33 Trust Your Own Instincts  15:48 Best Time To Fast 25:21 Men Fast Vs Women Fast 28:08 Hormonal Imbalance In Women 41:35 Best Foods To Eat After Fasting 50:33 The Grandmother Hypothesis  54:27 Supplements For Women 58:27 Detox Everyday! 59:46 Nurture Yourself To Eliminate Stress 1:07:35 Hormone Replacement Therapy   Follow Dr. Mindy: https://drmindypelz.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-mindy-pelz https://youtube.com/@drmindychiropractic https://www.facebook.com/share/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevluki See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Emotional Spring Cleaning: Clear the Clutter, Hit Reset

    When was the last time you checked in with what you’re carrying—emotionally? As nature shifts into spring, it’s the perfect moment to pause and take stock of what’s going on inside. This week on A Really Good Cry, I’m exploring the idea of emotional spring cleaning—clearing out the feelings, habits, and stories that no longer serve us. I’ll share gentle, grounding practices that help me create space for clarity and ease, from breathwork and journaling to small rituals rooted in the season. We’ll talk about how to release what weighs us down—grief, resentment, or energy that isn’t ours to hold—and how that release can open the door to deeper healing and self-connection. If you’re feeling the pull to let go, reset, and make space for something new, this episode is your invitation to begin.   What We Discuss: 00:00 Introduction 00:58 Start of something new 02:05 Breathwork for grounding yourself in the moment 04:27 Why do you need clean energy in every area of your life 05:19 What is the meaning of spring? 07:50 Nature will ALWAYS show you what you need 10:03 Journal prompts to help you let go of emotional baggage 11:40 Why letting go requires love 13:05 Free writing 13:36 Spring is planting new seeds 16:34 The power of your environment on your energy 18:31 Fire rituals 21:38 More journaling prompts to go deeper this season 23:22 Emotional detox starts with better boundaries 24:14 Commit to something new 25:01 Seasonal change 26:39 Let go of what no longer serves you   Follow Radhi: https://www.instagram.com/radhidevlukia/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxWe9A4kMf9V_AHOXkGhCzQ https://www.facebook.com/radhidevlukia1/ https://www.tiktok.com/@radhidevlukia See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Dr. Judith Joseph: Struggling in Silence? 5 Ways to Reclaim Your Joy and Overcome Depression

    Are you really okay, or have you just become good at pretending? Many of us go through the motions—showing up, performing, and pushing through—while feeling disconnected, drained, and on the edge. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I talk to Dr. Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist and mental health expert, about high-functioning depression. We dive into why some of the most seemingly “put-together” individuals are struggling in silence, and how suppressing pain can also dull our capacity for joy. We explore how people-pleasing and overachievement often serve as coping mechanisms, and discuss small but impactful changes that can help you reconnect with yourself. Dr. Judith also shares the 5 Vs, a science-based approach to finding balance, processing emotions, and rediscovering joy. If you’ve ever felt like you should be fine but aren’t, this episode is for you.
