About this episode
Episode #217 In this episode, Terri and Heather dive into the foundational framework behind lasting fasting success—what they call "The Three-Legged Stool." They unpack the three essential components: 1️⃣ The Fasting Dial – finding the right rhythm for your body 2️⃣ The Nutrition Dial – nourishing in a way that supports your goals 3️⃣ The Support Dial – staying consistent through accountability and connection Terri and Heather explain why all three dials must be in balance—because when one leg is missing, the whole stool wobbles. If you're struggling to stick with fasting, lose weight, or feel your best, this conversation will help you reconnect with the core principles that create sustainable, long-term success. ✨ Think of this as your reset to realign and thrive—no extremes, just solid strategy. 👉 Take the first step!
