Our Pick of the Quarter
Each season, we spotlight a book that deepens understanding of the mind-body connection, emotional growth, or integrative living.
This quarter's pick:
Eat Like a Girl
by Dr. Mindy Pelz
In Eat Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz reframes fasting, metabolism, and hormone health through a female-specific lens. Rather than applying research built on male physiology, she walks women through how to align eating patterns with their natural hormonal rhythms. The book blends science with practical implementation, offering guidance on cycle syncing, metabolic flexibility, and when to fast or not fast based on life stage and stress load.
This is a helpful resource for women seeking to understand how blood sugar, cortisol, and reproductive hormones interact and how strategic nutrition can support energy, mood, and long-term metabolic health.
