Hey, I’m Alisha. A wife, mom, fitness/nutrition/lifestyle coach. I dieted for over a decade, losing and regaining the same weight over and over. I was not only chasing a number on the scale, but I was also trying to be everything to everyone, which only left me feeling more exhausted and worse about myself.
I finally realized that if I was going to show up as the wife and mom I wanted and find freedom in my health I needed to work on my relationship to food, exercise, my body, and myself. I learned about the power of changing our brain (aka our thinking) - and our behavior- through habits that supported the healthy lifestyle that I craved. And now I’m ready to share everything I’ve learned with you!

The Strong[HER] Way | Healthy nutrition and habits for moms, routines, strength training for women
Discover how to fast successfully as a woman for metabolic health
In this episode of The StrongHer Way, Alisha Carlson sits down with Renee Fitton to unpack one of the most talked-about wellness tools today: fasting.
But this isn’t your average intermittent fasting chat.
Together, they dive into the real science behind fasting, the differences in how men and women respond, and what every woman should know—especially during perimenopause and postmenopause.
You’ll hear about intermittent fasting, prolonged fasting, and fasting mimicking diets, as well as why women need a tailored approach based on their hormones, cycle, and recovery needs.
Whether you're fasting for longevity, metabolic health, or to improve your relationship with food, this episode gives you both the research-backed benefits and the real-life risks.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- The difference between intermittent, prolonged, and mimicking fasts
- Why fasting hits differently for women—especially in perimenopause & postmenopause
- How autophagy (your body’s cellular cleanup crew) is triggered by longer fasts
- When to fast and when to rest based on your menstrual cycle
- Why weight loss should not be the main goal of fasting
- The role of caffeine and stress in fasting
- Practical tips to safely incorporate fasting without wrecking your hormones
Quick Takeaways:
- Match fasting protocols to your cycle
- Consider fasting mimicking diets to reduce stress on the body
- Focus on long-term metabolic health, not short-term fat loss
- Use fasting as a tool for longevity and cellular repair
- Always personalize your approach—your hormones, your rules
