The Gap Between Knowing and Doing

The Gap Between Knowing and Doing

Author: The Fasting Method January 15, 2026 Duration: 4:05

Many people already know what to do for their health — and still struggle to follow through consistently.

🎙️In this bonus episode, Dr. Terri Lance explores the gap between knowing and doing, and why that gap has nothing to do with laziness, discipline, or willpower.

This conversation looks at how stress, long-standing habits, self-talk, identity, and the nervous system influence our ability to live what we already know — especially when life gets busy, emotional, or unpredictable.

Rather than collecting more information or trying harder, real change often comes from learning how to support yourself through discomfort and challenge.

If this episode resonates, you're not alone — and you don't need more information. Support, structure, and self-compassion are often what make the difference.
