It’s Time for a (Healing) Revolution!

Empower Your Clients and Set Yourself Apart as a True Healer

We’re living in a moment of massive disruption in women’s health.

Patients are more skeptical than ever. Trust in traditional healthcare is declining. Social media is flooded with conflicting advice. And medications like Ozempic are reshaping conversations about weight, metabolism, and long-term health — often without deeper education about root causes.

Women are searching for answers.

And practitioners who don’t evolve risk being left behind.

This is not a time for healers to stay comfortable.

It’s a time to become indispensable. The practitioners who adapt will lead.

The future of women’s healthcare belongs to practitioners who understand metabolic health, hormonal intelligence, and fasting-based strategies — and who can guide clients with clarity, credibility, and confidence.

A future where women are treated as individuals.
Where quick fixes are replaced with sustainable transformation.
Where trust is rebuilt through knowledge and results.

And the next generation of trusted experts is being defined right now.

If you’re ready to lead in this new era — and future-proof your practice in the process — it’s time to join the Fast Like a Girl revolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Multi-level Menu

How do I access the course?

Upon purchase, you'll receive a welcome email with a link and simple instructions for accessing the course, which is hosted in an online learning platform. You must have internet access in order to watch the videos and join the calls.

When does the course start?

The first two lessons are released on Friday, May 1, 2026. The remaining lessons are released two at a time, every two weeks after that.

What's required to become certified?

Certification requires completion of all course materials, passing a final quiz, and signing a license agreement. Upon completion, you'll receive a personalized certificate to showcase your expertise.

How many hours of content are in the course?

In the course lessons alone, there are nearly 13 hours of video. If you add the bonuses, that’s about another 6 or so. Plus, there are the dozens more in the Reset Academy.

Is there a time limit to complete the course?

Not technically. You will have permanent access to all the videos and PDFs in the course forever, so technically, you can complete the course in whatever way works with your schedule. However, our timed releases, live calls, and limited-time community were planned as they are in order to encourage you to complete the material—and become certified—within eight weeks.

Will I retain access to the course after completion?

Absolutely! You'll have lifetime access to course materials, enabling you to revisit and review lessons at your leisure.

What's the refund policy?

Your satisfaction is our priority. If you're not completely satisfied for any reason within 60 days of purchase, we'll issue a full refund—no questions asked.

I work in a healthcare office. Are there any deals for buying more than one copy of the course?

Yes! We want to make sure this is affordable for as many people as possible—and we want to support its implementation throughout the healthcare industry. For information on purchasing our discounted three-seat professional package, click here.

Is this course accredited?

No. When you finish this course, you will not have a credential recognized by accrediting bodies. The course is not, and will not be, accredited by these governing bodies. But you will have a deep knowledge of how to work with clients to inspire lifestyle changes that can transform their health.

Will this course give me everything I need to start a coaching practice?

This is a bit hard to answer because the course will give you much of the information you need to work with clients; however, it will not support you through every aspect of building your business. There are varied rules and regulations in every jurisdiction in the world. It is not possible for anyone to be an expert in all jurisdictions. Thus, the only way for you to know if you can practice is for you to research that in your own jurisdiction. We cannot advise you on things like getting insurance, setting up your business structure, or defining what you can or cannot do legally without an accredited credential.

The course will also provide ideas on how to get the word out to people, how to interact with clients, and how to plan your work. Plus you’ll get access to a community of coaches and Dr. Mindy’s team for questions. However, there is no shortcut to experience. If you already run a wellness business, this will be an easy add-on to your offerings. If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need to build your brand and experience over time.

Will I get to interact with Dr. Mindy?

There are four live calls with Dr. Mindy where she answers questions directly from the community of students—and this is a great time to interact with her. Unfortunately, she can’t be available all the time, as she’s working hard to spread the word about healing.

Does this count as a medical credential?

Absolutely NOT. This course does not qualify you to be a medical professional. Throughout the course, Dr. Mindy will remind you time and time again that you are training to be a lifestyle coach—and that medical decisions should remain between your client and their doctor, therapist, or other medical professional.

Could I see the license agreement before I sign up?

Sure thing! We want you to feel certain this is for you. You can see it click here.

Lesson 2: Become Hormone Literate and Clinically Confident

(Releasing on Friday, May 1)

In lesson two, Dr. Mindy dives deep into hormones—breaking down the pivotal role of insulin, cortisol, oxytocin, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone in the female body—and explains how fasting can help women balance their hormones and live with more vitality and joy. You’ll learn:

The hormonal hierarchy, and why understanding this is the key to balancing hormones
How hormones affect fat storage and weight loss, and the effects of insulin resistance on our health
Simple hacks to reduce the negative effects of cortisol—which Dr. Mindy calls “the enemy of weight loss”
How working to balance sex hormones through fasting can help women in every phase of life—from cycling woman, to perimenopause, to those post-menopausal years

Lesson 3: A Personalized Metabolic Switching System

(Releasing on Friday, May 15)

Now that you’ve learned why fasting is such a game-changer for women’s health, it’s time to explore the ins and outs of metabolic switching. As Dr. Mindy will show you, our bodies were meant to switch between fat-burning and sugar-burning states, but most people don’t do this—which is why so many women struggle to lose weight. You’ll learn:

The science behind the sugar-burning and fat-burning systems, and how tapping in and out of them is the key to balanced hormones and sustained weight loss
What characterizes “the gap” (the difficulty transitioning between the sugar-burner and fat-burner states) and how to overcome these challenges
The six different types of fasts—from intermittent fasting to the 72-hour immune system reset—and the benefits of each
Practical ways to customize fasts according to your clients’ unique needs and desires
How to measure and interpret blood sugar and ketone numbers

Lesson 4: A Proven Fasting Cycle Framework for Every Phase

(Releasing on Friday, May 15)

In this fourth lesson, Dr. Mindy walks you through the phases of a woman’s life, showing you how to use fasting during each phase to achieve your clients’ health goals. You’ll learn:

How to incorporate fasting and lifestyle changes (like the ketobiotic diet) during each phase of the menstrual cycle for optimal results
The unique challenges of perimenopause, and why ketones are especially helpful during this phase
Why women using bioidenticals and hormone replacement often start to gain weight, and simple tools to bring them back into balance
How fasting can help postmenopausal women feel more vibrant than ever (and finally lose that stubborn weight)
What the “dawn effect” is, and why it’s a sign that your body is doing exactly what it needs to do

Lesson 5: A Complete Food Framework for Every Hormonal Phase

(Releasing on Friday, May 29)

You’ve learned how to fast like a girl—and in lesson five, you’ll explore how to eat like a girl to optimize your results and boost your overall health. Get ready to learn:

The importance of the fast-breaking meal, and how to plan this meal around your desired results
How to eat during every phase in your menstrual cycle to support your hormones—and how to use this knowledge even when you don’t have a cycle
The role of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat), how they affect blood sugar, and how and when to track these with your clients
How to choose an eating window to set your clients up for success
Tips for reading a food label, and which foods you should always avoid

Lesson 6: Lead Transformational Client Journeys with Clarity

(Releasing on Friday, May 29)

It’s time to work with clients! In this lesson, Dr. Mindy guides you through every step of the process—from your initial intake to creating what Dr. Mindy calls a “care plan.” You’ll learn:

Advice for building rapport with clients in your first consultation, deciding which clients to take, and determining how much to charge
How to create a care plan for your clients’ unique needs and goals—and how to present (and troubleshoot) that care plan to your client
Details on how to navigate appointments using a multi-therapeutic approach (both the concept and the actual form)
The best ways to build community with your clients—which is a great way to not only for you to answer their questions, but also for your clients to support each other

Lesson 7: A Troubleshooting Playbook for Every Scenario

(Releasing on Friday, June 12)

What do you do when your clients aren’t getting into ketosis? Or when their blood sugar doesn’t go down? Or when they start putting on weight or losing hair? In this final lesson, Dr. Mindy goes through the challenges your clients may face as they begin fasting and how to overcome them. You’ll learn:

The most common symptoms people experience (aka “keto flu”) when they begin fasting—and how to treat them
Warning signs that indicate you should pull your client out of a fast
What’s behind symptoms like weight gain, hair loss, and missing cycles, and science-backed techniques to turn these around
The three golden rules for guiding your clients through 24-to-48-hour fasts and how to coach a 3-day water fast

I’m an Integrative Health Practitioner L2 and Integrative Nutritionist. I took the FLAG certification to deepen my understanding in women’s hormones, fasting, and nutrition.  The FLAG information and teachings have changed my life and my clients’ lives!  I’m working one-on-one with clients now, and plan to launch my group coaching and membership/subscription services very soon! FLAG information is life changing, I’m experiencing it first-hand.

The FLAG Coach Certification program was an incredible experience. Dr. Mindy Pelz is an exceptional teacher, making complex concepts easy to understand and apply.

Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach

Taking this course and becoming a FLAG coach is one of the best things I did for myself! It changed my life and my world! I am 67 years young, love the fasting lifestyle, and love that I can now be of service to others to help them love the body they live in. This course is so complete, there is so much knowledge and wisdom from Dr. Mindy. This is the time to jump in and help Dr. Mindy and her Team change the world! You won't be sorry!

–Erin Murray

Life and Wellness Coach, Look Within Life Coaching

In March 2024, I knew something was off. I felt exhausted, bloated, and sluggish. My brain was foggy, my afternoons were spent lying down, and despite all my knowledge about health being a Naturopath, nothing was working. That’s when I discovered intermittent fasting. As always, before recommending anything to others, I wanted to fully understand it. So, I enrolled in the Fast Like a Girl certification program, earned my certification, and tested it on myself. Whether for personal health or as a powerful tool to integrate into your practice, it’s a game-changer.
