Why Your Health Tools Aren't Working (and Why It's Not Your Fault)
EP382 with Dr. Mindy Pelz
What if your body isn't failing you, but trying to tell you something?
In this special episode of Live Like a Girl, Dr. Mindy Pelz shares a powerful keynote delivered at a Hay House event celebrating the legacy of Louise Hay. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in women's health, her personal journey, and the lessons she's learned from women around the world, Mindy explores what it really means to trust your body.
For too long, women have been taught to push harder, eat less, ignore their intuition, and measure their worth by how they look. But what if the path to better health begins with questioning those beliefs?
Mindy shares five guiding principles for living in alignment with your feminine body, from understanding your nervous system and honoring your hormonal rhythms to recognizing how your relationships, environment, and daily pace influence your well-being.
She also opens up about her experience surviving the Pacific Palisades fires, finding healing in nature, and rediscovering the joy and freedom of her younger self.
This conversation is an invitation to stop seeing your body as something that needs to be fixed and start recognizing the wisdom it has carried all along.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why so many women struggle to trust their bodies and how to challenge the beliefs they've inherited.
How your nervous system state may influence your experience with stress, hunger, fasting, and weight management.
Why understanding your hormonal rhythms matters during your menstrual years, perimenopause, and menopause.
How the people you surround yourself with, the places you spend time, and the pace of your life can affect your well-being.
Why connection, community, and feeling supported are essential parts of a healthy life.
How embracing play, authenticity, and self-expression can help you reconnect with who you really are.
