Listen "Fasting Q&A: Hysterectomy, Vitamins and Pain Meds, Birth Control Pill, and High Altitude and Fasting"
Episode Synopsis
Episode #53 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan and Nadia answer your fasting questions: 1. Last year I had a hysterectomy, but kept my ovaries. At the time, I was in peri-menopause. How will this impact fasting and should I do anything differently? [02:27] 2. Do vitamins or pain-relief tablets break a fast? [08:44] 3. If female hormones are so important for women and help us maintain weight during reproductive age, what do you think about the impact of birth control pills on metabolism? [13:41] 4. We often travel for an extended amount of time to 4000m. I am not sure if fasting 48-72 hrs would put too much stress on the body since high altitude is a big change for the body anyway?
