I am Melanie Gleeson, 56 years old, from Perth, Australia, originally from New Zealand. I have been fasting for 5 years.

Through the grips of menopause, grief. Stress and getting derailed by some bad advice.

I'm 5ft 2", so I'm not a large frame - therefore, every pound shows. I am very active. I walk the dog morning and night.

Often, I go for a longer hike or beach visit on the weekend, and I go to the Gym 3-4 times a week.

I'm pretty weights-focused because a) I like it and b) I've been warned that higher cardio intensity workouts increase/spike cortisol in women, and cortisol is not our friend.

I have always been health conscious, even though I haven't eaten well or liked the way I looked/weighed more.

So this episode brought health into even sharper focus

And my fasting is at the core of that. I've never been a big breakfast eater, so that is the period when I'm able to extend my window

I feel better when I fast and look forward to continuing the fasting lifestyle.

Melanie was a guest on the Podcast way back in episode 2.
