In this YouTube short, two speakers discuss the safety and suitability of intermittent fasting for women. Speaker B notes recent research suggesting a 12‑to‑14‑hour fasting/eating window is optimal, especially for women who may experience hormonal challenges with longer fasts. Speaker A responds that a 12‑hour fast aligns with natural human eating patterns that have existed for hundreds of thousands of years and is unlikely to stress the body or disrupt the menstrual cycle, making it appropriate for both men and women.

Chapters

I think for a lot of people, it's almost a relief to hear that new science and research is coming out to say that 12 to 14 hour window is optimal. Because I think particularly women, I know men who do longer intermittent fasting windows, shorter eating windows, they have less of an issue. But I think for women, particularly around hormones, etc., struggle a lot more. So I'd love to hear your view on male versus female. Yeah. Male versus female, what you're seeing from your side.
It's one of the most frequent questions I get because it is important. I think the 12-hour fast is very natural and would not stress, would not interfere with the cycle. So men and women can easily do the 12 hours of fast. And again, it is actually how everybody was supposed to eat and not to eat for hundreds of thousands of years.
