About this listen

Dr. Mindy Pelz, noted women's health advocate and the bestselling author of Fast Like a Girl and Eat Like a Girl, redefines menopause as a powerful biological upgrade—offering science-backed strategies to help women thrive, reclaim their health, and step into their most vibrant, authentic selves.

Age Like a Girl challenges the outdated narrative of menopause and redefines it as a time of transformation, power, and renewal. Dr. Mindy Pelz explores the biological purpose of menopause, revealing how shifting hormones can unlock newfound wisdom, strength, and clarity. Through the lens of the Grandmother Hypothesis, she connects neuroscience, nutrition, fasting, exercise, and emotional well-being to help women optimize their health and embrace this stage of life.

Part One: The Purpose of Menopause

  • Explores why menopause exists, drawing from evolutionary science, neuroscience, and the Grandmother Hypothesis.
  • Reveals how brain and hormonal shifts during menopause can be an advantage—enhancing wisdom, intuition, and resilience.
  • Highlights lessons from traditional cultures, such as the Okinawan and hunter-gatherer societies, that have embraced menopause as a time of strength and leadership.

Part Two: The Age Like a Girl Toolbox

  • Provides science-backed health strategies to optimize energy, metabolism, and mental clarity during menopause.

Covers key topics like:

  • Why postmenopausal women thrive on ketones over glucose and how fasting can be a powerful tool.
  • The best nutrients to support hormonal balance and how to incorporate them into daily life.
  • How exercise should evolve to align with changing hormones.
  • The importance of connection, mood, and memory, including strategies to support mental well-being.
  • Explains how shifts in estrogen and neurochemicals impact the body—and how to work with these changes, rather than against them.

Part Three: Returning Home to Yourself

  • A personal and transformative section where Dr. Mindy shares her own experiences, offering insights into self-discovery and personal growth post-menopause.
  • How menopause frees women from cultural conditioning and encourages them to stop people-pleasing.
  • A powerful call for women to embrace transformation, akin to emerging from a chrysalis into their next phase of life.
  • Encouragement for women to embrace this stage of life as a time to come home to themselves.
