In this episode of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast, Cynthia Thurlow joins Dr. Scott Sherr for a wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation about fasting, female hormones, GLP-1s, and navigating midlife as a high-performing woman. With clarity and nuance, Cynthia breaks down what works — and what backfires — when it comes to metabolic health for women over 35.
Join us as we delve
into:
• Why intermittent fasting isn’t a one-size-fits-all
solution
• How hormone shifts change the fasting game for
women
• What GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy really do — and don’t
do
• How to stay metabolically flexible through perimenopause
This episode is for you
if:
• You’re a woman over 35 trying to fast smarter, not
harder
• You’re curious about GLP-1s but want balanced, science-based
insight
• You’ve hit a metabolic wall and need smarter
strategies
• You want practical, hormone-informed tools for fat loss and
focus
