Intermittent Fasting for Women, Spiritual Fasting, Hunger and Appetite as a Message

04/25/24 • 68 min

It’s finally here! I hope you are ready to peel back the layers of intermittent fasting and the misconceptions about it that have been plaguing female physiology and tricking us into starving ourselves. Buckle up because here we go!

When we consider intermittent fasting, we see big forces at play in our metabolism. The truth is that women (or anyone, really) were not built to fast as a normal practice. The practice of fasting causes too much metabolic damage in our systems.

There’s so much more that we dive into in this episode about the real impact that intermittent fasting has on your metabolism and your overall health, and I know you’re going to love it. Tune in today!

I am so excited to share this episode with you! There are so many fad diets and health myths present in the health and wellness space. In my chat with Kaya today, we are going to go through many of the top health and wellness trends and discuss not just why they are not helpful to female physiology but how they are actually damaging our cells and our bodies.

After struggling for most of her life with chronic illnesses that doctors were unable to find the root cause of, Kaya has finally discovered that her nutrition and her physiology had so much to do with her underlying issues and that listening to her body’s needs was the best solution to her problems.

[00:38:31] The restrictions of many diets or using natural methods to treat symptoms don’t align with the root causes in your physiology and metabolism.

The War on Physiology, Trying to Erase Women and Why the Words We Use Matter with Isabella Malbin

Today’s episode is jam packed with meaningful conversation surrounding the controversial topic of what it truly means to be a woman. It is no secret that society is desperately trying to erase what makes women different and unique, and my guest - Isabella Malbin - joins me in this episode to discuss all that is being stolen from us under the guise of transhumanism.

The definition of a woman comes down to the physiology that sets us apart. As Isabella so clearly states, we are human first, then gender second. It is literally the second most important factor as a dimorphic species. While gender roles may vary across the globe or even across neighborhoods, there is nothing that changes the underlying physiology that connects us all as women.

We talk about the impact that gender ideology has on our power as women, the controversy of societal beauty standards, and about the lie we’ve been fed that our value is derived from what we achieve. Join me in this episode where we dive deep into these topics and so much more.

In this episode:

[02:20] Welcome my guest today, Isabella Malbin.
[04:28] Isabella’s experience with becoming a Doula and how gender ideology was introduced in that process.
[06:22] The story behind how Isabella discovered that gender ideology and birthing are completely incompatible.
[09:42] The slow waking that Isabella experienced while working with women and helping them advocate for their own health.
[13:00] How the concept of transgenderism waters down both the male and female physiology.
[19:21] The role that birth control has played in how women relate to their own physiology.
[26:51] Are women more powerful than ever, or is our power being taken from us?
[30:00] The difficulty of finding a political home when we hold the types of views that we do.
[32:11] The benefits of having children at a younger age and the misconception of fulfillment from funneling our self-worth into a career or accomplishment.
[39:44] We are robbed of the opportunity to watch our elders age without chemical intervention.
[50:08] Why does the language we use to describe women matter so much?
[52:03] The real end goal of the transhumanist takeover.
[56:14] Thanks for joining me on the Fully Nourished Podcast today!
