Mindset Shift

The importance of mindset over willpower is a recurring theme in Vicki's fasting journey. She stresses that success in intermittent fasting is not about willpower but about changing one's mindset 3. Vicki and Gin Stephens discuss how mindset can transform one's approach to health, drawing from books like "The Biology of Belief" and "This Naked Mind" 4.
