Sound familiar?
You did everything right. Your body stopped listening.
Fewer calories, more cardio, another 16:8 challenge — and still the fatigue, the fog, the weight that won't move. It isn't willpower. It's a protocol that was never designed for a woman's hormonal rhythm.
Energy that flatlines
Afternoon crashes, wired-and-tired nights, and a body that never quite refuels.
Weight that won't shift
The same eating that used to work now stalls, especially through perimenopause.
Advice that contradicts itself
Every podcast says something different, and none of it accounts for where you are in your cycle.

About Samantha
Educator first. Coach always.
Samantha Linden holds a Master of Education and a Doctor of Business Administration — two decades of teaching people how to learn hard things and make them stick. Both degrees were built on research: reading the studies, questioning the methods, and separating evidence from noise. She brings that same rigor to women's health, grounding every protocol in peer-reviewed science rather than trends. As a Fast Like a Girl Certified Coach, she translates that research into steps you can actually live.
Her work is built on one belief: a woman's body follows a rhythm, and health gets simple the moment you stop overriding it. Through The Blissful Soul, she guides women through fasting, food and nervous-system care that fits real life — perimenopause, deadlines, families and all.
The Method
Four shifts, in order
Built on the Fast Like a Girl framework and adapted to your body, your season of life, and the life you actually live.
01
Fast with your cycle
Fasting lengths mapped to your hormonal rhythm instead of a one-size-fits-all rule.
02
Build metabolic flexibility
Train your body to move between sugar and fat burning so energy stops depending on your next snack.
03
Break the fast well
What you eat after a fast decides how you feel all day. Simple, hormone-supporting meals you'll actually repeat.
04
Care for your nervous system
Sleep, stress and circadian rhythm work, because cortisol will undo even the most disciplined protocol.
Fasting, decoded
Every fast length does something different
Fasting isn't one tool — it's six. We choose the length that matches what your body needs that week, then place it where your hormones can handle it.

Break your fast well
Food that rebuilds hormones
Ketobiotic days, hormone-feasting days, and the produce that makes both work. My clients get simple meal frameworks — not a rigid plan you'll abandon by Thursday.
- Protein-forward meals to break longer fasts
- Fiber and polyphenols for a healthier microbiome
- Carb timing for the week before your period
- Mineral and electrolyte support during fasts
