Summary
Episode #224
In this Turbo Talk, Coach Terri Lance explores three powerful mindset shifts that can make all the difference in your fasting and health journey.
Instead of treating fasting as a quick fix, Terri invites you to reframe it as part of a self-care practice, pair it with supportive lifestyle choices, and address the deeper relationship with food that often drives our health struggles.
She offers practical insights into:
- Why fasting alone isn't enough
- How true self-care goes beyond indulgence
- How creating joy and fulfillment in your life can reduce the pull of emotional eating
✨ If you're ready to move from simply "doing fasting" to truly transforming your health and well-being, this episode is for you.

| 0:00.0 | if you're looking at fasting as the only change that you're going to do, I'm sorry that you're |
| 0:06.8 | probably not really going to see the longer term benefits that you're seeking. |
| 0:12.2 | So I encourage you as you are looking at this powerful tool with some magical qualities |
| 0:18.7 | that you also think about what other lifestyle factors do I need |
| 0:25.1 | to weave together with this fasting to really support it so that it can do its magic, rather than |
