spending two decades helping millions worldwide. You got pretty famous from talking about this certain subject matter, which is fasting. What do I need to know?

**Mindy Pelz** (0:28)
Research shows it's going to make me stronger. More lean, 1300% increase in testosterone in men.

**Steven Bartlett** (0:35)
Oh, wow.

**Mindy Pelz** (0:35)
We see inflammation go down, growth hormone go up. It's the hormone that keeps you young and helps you burn fat. You know where it dropped the most amount of weight?

**Steven Bartlett** (0:43)
Belly.

**Mindy Pelz** (0:44)
Yep. Literally takes cells that are turning into cancer and it gets rid of those. You are tapping into a healing state that you never knew was there.

**Steven Bartlett** (0:52)
I'm sold. Where do I start?

**Mindy Pelz** (0:53)
So the first place to start is menstruation or the big M is considered a taboo topic.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:00)
I'm going to say something which is really embarrassing here. I know nothing about menstrual cycles. I'm in a relationship. What advice have you got for me?

**Mindy Pelz** (1:06)
Well, the first is do you know her cycle?

**Steven Bartlett** (1:08)
Moving on. Tell me about your childhood.

**Mindy Pelz** (1:12)
Let me give you gold. First two days, give her some space. If you have any conflict you want to resolve with her, do it between day two and day 12 Her libido is going to be the highest between day 10 and day 15 And then here's the gold. You're going to have to report back to me how this works. Round day 17, this is where you got to go.

**Steven Bartlett** (1:40)
Mindy, if you took the full body of work that you've produced over the last, let's say 10 years, and the work that you're going to produce over the next 10 years, and you had to summarize the mission that you're on and why it matters, how would you do that?

**Mindy Pelz** (1:58)
Wow, that's a great question.
I'm trying to empower people to believe in themselves again. And I want to do that through everything that in our lifestyle that taps into our body's own ability to heal itself. We've gotten so far off course, we don't even realize that we're giving so much of our health power away, our happiness power away, and all we've got to do is come back home to ourselves and learn that every single thing inside of us, every cell, every neuron, everything is working for us, not against us. And we have to stop villainizing our body. We got to figure out how to believe in ourselves again. We're the ones that are going to save ourselves. And we've just lost our way.

**Steven Bartlett** (2:40)
What have we fallen into the trap of believing?

**Mindy Pelz** (2:43)
Well, in the health world, we've totally fallen into the trap that if I take this pill, if I do this diet, if I do this exercise, then that will cure me. Nobody cures you, you cure yourself. And so you have to start to look at the human body as this self-healing organism that's always figuring out how to keep you alive, how to keep you at your best. And if you're not feeling at your best, then the only thing to look at is that there's an interference. There's a physical, emotional, spiritual, chemical interference that is pulling you away from this power that's inside of you so that you can start to heal. Once you pull those away, you see yourself in a whole new light. And this is what fasting did for millions of people. You just see yourself so differently in what you're capable of doing.

**Steven Bartlett** (3:34)
‎Where have we gone wrong in terms of our attitude towards what it is to be a human? Because I often think much of the health advice that is thrown at us these days has this underlying belief that in some way we're broken.

**Mindy Pelz** (3:48)
‎Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I so agree with you. It's the messaging is like you did something wrong. You have a genetic profile that you're doomed to have a disastrous outcome. And everything is exogenously blamed at us. And I really think that that comes from not only our health care system, and I'm not trying to bash the health care system, but we have lost our way. And it comes from, for women specifically, it comes from the messaging we get from social media and magazines, like everything is outside in. We gotta go inside out now and start asking what we want on a physical, spiritual, emotional level so that we can create the life we want and stop looking outside for the answers. We gotta go within.
