Why I Built FastingLady After practicing intermittent fasting, I noticed great health benefits — but also hair loss and irregular spotting. Nothing explained why until I discovered Fast Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz. Following a fasting approach designed for women, my hair stopped falling out, my weight stabilized, and my period became more regular. I realized fasting and menstrual health are deeply connected. Since I couldn’t find an app that tracks both fasting and the menstrual cycle together, I created FastingLady — a daily companion for women who want to fast smart and stay in tune with their period.

Always consult your doctor before making changes to your fasting, diet, or lifestyle. The developer assumes no liability for actions taken based on the app’s recommendations.
