Dr. Mindy Pelz is a California-based functional health practitioner and chiropractor who built a substantial digital following by translating complex fasting and hormonal science into practical guidance aimed specifically at women. Her breakout came with Fast Like a Girl, which became a New York Times bestseller and distinguished her from the broader fasting conversation by centering the female hormonal cycle — an angle that had been largely absent from mainstream intermittent fasting content. Subsequent books, including Eat Like a Girl and Age Like a Girl, extended that framework across nutrition and aging, cementing a consistent, recognizable brand around women working with their biology rather than against it. Her YouTube channel, which has accumulated well over a hundred million views, and her Live Like A Girl podcast form the backbone of her content operation, with short-form clips and interview-style episodes distributed across Instagram and TikTok.
Her audience skews heavily female and spans a notably wide age range, with strong representation from women in their thirties through fifties — a demographic actively navigating perimenopause, metabolic shifts, and hormonal changes, which maps precisely to her editorial focus. Sponsorships from electrolyte brands such as LMNT and Beam Minerals signal clean positioning within the functional nutrition and fasting-lifestyle space, where mineral replenishment is a core talking point rather than an awkward fit. Above-median engagement across platforms suggests her following is driven by genuine interest rather than passive accumulation. As women's health content continues to gain mainstream traction and publishers invest in the midlife female audience, Pelz is well positioned as an established authority with a loyal, high-intent readership and listener base.
Dr.Mindypelz reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a fitness creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include Beam Minerals and LMNT Ventures. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.9%, which points to an audience better suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel campaigns than to pure-reach buys. The channel's mix of long-form YouTube integrations and Instagram Reels and Stories lets a sponsor choose between short awareness placements and longer, more detailed integrations. Because the audience follows fitness content rather than arriving through untargeted reach, sponsorships that match the channel's subject matter tend to convert more efficiently than broad placements. A consistent, on-topic posting focus gives sponsors a predictable, brand-safe environment, lowering placement risk compared with broad, general-interest channels. Campaigns here are best measured on qualified engagement and consideration within the niche rather than on raw impression volume. For United States-focused brands in fitness and related categories, Dr.Mindypelz offers a defined, creative-fit audience rather than broad, low-intent impressions.

Dr. Mindy Pelz is a chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who has built her platform around women's hormonal health, fasting, and metabolic wellness. While she holds a Doctor of Chiropractic degree, she is best known for educating women on how to align fasting and nutrition protocols with their unique biology rather than defaulting to advice designed around male physiology.
Fast Like a Girl is Dr. Mindy Pelz's New York Times bestselling book that lays out fasting protocols specifically designed around women's hormonal cycles. The central argument is that conventional fasting advice — built largely around male biology — does not serve cycling women well, and the book provides a cycle-synced fasting framework as a practical alternative.
Dr. Mindy Pelz argues that women's estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate throughout the monthly cycle, meaning the same fasting protocol that works for men or post-menopausal women can disrupt hormones in cycling women. Her books and YouTube content teach women to adjust fasting length and eating windows based on where they are in their cycle to avoid spiking cortisol or suppressing key hormones.
Live Like a Girl is Dr. Mindy Pelz's podcast covering women's health topics including fasting, hormones, gut health, aging, and metabolism. She features expert guest conversations alongside solo teaching episodes, all built around her core message of helping women work with their biology rather than against it.
The three books address different pillars of women's health: Fast Like a Girl focuses on fasting strategies synced to the hormonal cycle, Eat Like a Girl covers nutrition and food choices aligned with female biology, and Age Like a Girl addresses hormones and health through perimenopause and beyond. Dr. Mindy Pelz has received New York Times bestseller recognition across the series.
Dr. Mindy Pelz frequently highlights autophagy — the body's cellular self-cleaning and repair process — as one of the primary benefits of extended fasting. She teaches that longer fasting windows, often beyond 17 hours, are typically needed to trigger meaningful autophagy, and she tailors this guidance to women's hormonal phases throughout the month.
Dr. Mindy Pelz has partnered with LMNT because electrolyte depletion — particularly sodium, magnesium, and potassium — is one of the most common hurdles women face during extended fasting windows. She recommends electrolyte supplementation as a way to maintain energy and reduce fatigue while keeping the body in a true fasted state.
Beam Minerals is a liquid mineral supplement that Dr. Mindy Pelz has featured as a sponsor on her YouTube channel. The product aligns with her broader teaching that micronutrient and mineral balance is essential for supporting hormonal and metabolic health, especially during fasting periods when mineral stores can become depleted.
Dr. Mindy Pelz discusses OMAD as an advanced fasting approach that can trigger deeper autophagy and stronger metabolic benefits compared to shorter fasting windows. She advises women to be strategic about timing OMAD within their hormonal cycle, since attempting it during certain phases can inadvertently raise cortisol and disrupt hormone balance.
Dr. Mindy Pelz's YouTube channel has surpassed 120 million views, placing it among the most-watched women's health channels on the platform. She publishes a mix of long-form educational videos and short-form clips covering fasting protocols, hormone health, weight loss, and aging strategies for women.
