Dr. Mindy Pelz is a California-based Doctor of Chiropractic who built her public profile around a single, underserved insight: that standard fasting and nutrition protocols were designed for male physiology, and that women need guidance calibrated to their hormonal cycles. After years running a functional medicine practice in the San Jose area, she channeled that clinical perspective into a content-first media presence and a string of bestselling books — most notably Fast Like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, and Age Like a Girl — that collectively placed her on the New York Times bestseller list twice. Her YouTube channel, which has crossed 120 million cumulative views, anchors her reach, supplemented by daily activity on Instagram and TikTok and her Live Like a Girl podcast. Her content style blends digestible health education with hormone-specific protocols, covering intermittent fasting windows, autophagy, gut health, and metabolic topics in a tone that is approachable but grounded in functional medicine language.
Her audience skews heavily female — roughly four in five followers — and spans a wide age range from younger women in their twenties through a substantial cohort aged 45 and older, reflecting the broad life-stage relevance of her hormonal-health messaging. Above-median engagement across platforms, particularly on YouTube, signals an audience that actively participates rather than passively scrolls. Sponsor partnerships with LMNT, an electrolyte brand popular in fasting communities, and Beam Minerals reflect a tight alignment between her content pillars and her commercial relationships — brands that her audience is already primed to trust. With a growing book franchise, a daily content cadence across three platforms, and a podcast as a long-form anchor, Pelz is positioned as a durable educational brand in women's functional wellness rather than a trend-dependent influencer, which should sustain appeal to health, supplement, and longevity-focused advertisers as that category continues to expand.
Dr. Mindy Pelz sits squarely in the women's health and metabolic-wellness category, making her a natural fit for supplement brands, functional food and beverage companies, gut-health products, and fasting-adjacent tools targeting health-conscious women. Her content architecture—anchored in intermittent fasting, hormones, and longevity—creates consistent demand signals for electrolytes, digestive health aids, ketogenic products, and women's nutrition lines. Audience geography skews heavily toward English-speaking, predominantly US markets with meaningful presence in the UK and Canada, making North American campaign targeting efficient. Daily cross-platform posting across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok demonstrates strong content discipline, and her engagement rate runs well above category median, suggesting an audience that actively converts on recommendations rather than passively scrolling. Her existing brand track record reinforces this profile: LMNT, an electrolyte hydration brand, and Beam Minerals are both category-typical sponsors that map directly to fasting and mineral-replenishment use cases. Brands in gut-health, nootropics, women's hormone support, or longevity supplement verticals would find audience-product alignment here well above average for the macro tier.

Dr. Mindy Pelz holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and built her career around functional medicine, women's hormones, and root-cause health. She is not a medical doctor (MD), but her research-based approach to fasting and aging has earned her a following that reaches well beyond the chiropractic world.
Fast Like a Girl is Dr. Mindy Pelz's guide to intermittent fasting designed specifically around women's hormonal cycles, arguing that women shouldn't follow the same fasting protocols as men because estrogen and progesterone levels shift throughout the month. The book became a New York Times bestseller and is widely considered her breakout title.
Dr. Mindy Pelz has at least three books in her 'Like a Girl' series — Fast Like a Girl, Eat Like a Girl, and Age Like a Girl — all focused on helping women work with their biology rather than against it. She is a two-time New York Times bestselling author and also an international bestseller.
Live Like a Girl is Dr. Mindy Pelz's podcast covering women's health, hormones, fasting, and aging through solo episodes and expert interviews. It runs as the audio companion to her YouTube channel and book series, all sitting under the same 'Like a Girl' umbrella brand she has built.
Dr. Mindy Pelz teaches that the rise and fall of estrogen and progesterone across a woman's monthly cycle means a single fixed fasting window can actually work against her biology. She recommends adjusting fasting lengths and food choices based on cycle phase — an approach that sits at the core of her Fast Like a Girl method.
Autophagy — the body's process of breaking down and recycling damaged cells — is one of the central benefits Dr. Mindy Pelz attributes to extended fasting windows. She links it to anti-aging and longevity for women and covers it regularly across her YouTube channel, where it is one of her most-used content topics.
LMNT is one of Dr. Mindy Pelz's named sponsors, featured in her YouTube content in 2026. Electrolyte replacement during fasting aligns directly with her teachings, since sodium, potassium, and magnesium are commonly depleted when food intake is restricted for extended periods.
Beam Minerals is a liquid trace mineral supplement brand that Dr. Mindy Pelz has partnered with through sponsored YouTube content. Trace minerals fit naturally into her message about supporting the body during fasting and maintaining hormonal balance when nutrient intake from food is limited.
Dr. Mindy Pelz has covered One Meal A Day as part of her fasting content, exploring its potential benefits for metabolic health. Consistent with her broader approach, she stresses that extended protocols like OMAD need to be timed carefully for women relative to their hormonal cycle phase.
Dr. Mindy Pelz's YouTube channel has crossed 120 million total views, making it one of the most-watched women's health and fasting channels on the platform. Her engagement rate runs well above the category average, which reflects a highly active audience returning for ongoing health guidance rather than one-off viral clips.
