This could be the most helpful, useful podcast in Primal Potential history. I cannot wait for you to hear it! Today I'm going to introduce you to 7 steps that will help you, starting today, create your happiest life. Your healthiest life. The other day, on the beach, I read "How To Write Like Tolstoy" and it opens up with a quote I loved: Peter Carey: I was finally a writer. Interviewer: What was...

In today's episode we're talking about how there's a difference between knowing how you want things to work and doing work. In life & business, many of us struggle to create success because we aren't balanced or consistent in our approach. Today I'm talking about the book The E-Myth Revisted by Michael Gerber. Though the book is about business, it talks about how there are 3 primary approaches to...

Are you too busy working in your life that you aren't ever working on your life? This is a trap most people fall into. I have! Repeatedly! They are so busy keeping up and crossing tasks off their lists that they feel they don't have time to fundamentally change or improve their lives. They're too busy to do the most meaningful work. I recognized this so profoundly in my work - I have been too busy...

Is it possible to enjoy your vacation, enjoy your food and make progress towards your goals at the same time? Yup, I do believe it is. As I prepare for a bunch of vacations and family holiday celebrations, I thought I'd share with you some general holiday & vacation strategies that go beyond "eat less, move more and only eat what you love". In today's episode we're talking about finding the inters...

This past weekend was undeniably one of the best of my life. ASCEND, the annual Primal Potential transformation weekend event, was a massive success. I was changed. People who attended were changed. Relationships were formed & breakthroughs happened left & right. I am still processing everything that happened. In today's episode I'm sharing my 5 major mindset takeaways from the weekend. For those...

Oooooh boy do I have a great episode for you today! Since I am spending today in Boston with my ASCEND 2017 attendees, I thought I'd let you in on a little of the fun by sharing an audio from ASCEND 2016! Today's podcast is one of the lectures from ASCEND 2016 on the power of simplicity. This podcast is about doing less to get more. It's about embracing a simple change instead of battling for a co...

There's a huge difference between choices that bring you pleasure and choices that make you happy. Ultimately, we want to work towards choices that bring both! In today's episode I'm talking about an interaction with a Fat Loss Fast Track client who told me that binges make her happy. Since I've had the opportunity to hear her describe those binges, I know it's not true. I know they make her feel...

Today was such a fun episode! It is part 2 of a 2 part listener Q&A episode! We had so much fun in episode 407 talking about parenting, raising healthy kids, staying engaged when you reach maintenance & vegan options for a fat loss breakfast. We also touched on inspiring others, strategies for women in menopause and my tiny house project. Today we're kicking off talking about fitness & exercise an...

Today was such a fun episode! It is part 1 of a 2 part listener Q&A episode and we kick off with a powerful question about how I'll raise my (future) children to be healthy & health-conscious without making food a huge issue in the family. We talk about how to inspire others, how to support others on their own health journeys, what advice I'd give to a menopausal women with 20 pounds to lose , fat...

Do you ever find yourself rationalizing a choice you know you shouldn't make? Do you catch yourself justifying an excuse? Talking yourself into why it's okay to wait another day or break a promise you made to yourself? That's what we're talking about today. We're talking about first recognizing the way you most commonly rationalize, justify or make excuses. Then we're talking about 3 different way...

"If you don't believe in affirmations, go into your child's bathroom and write 'I am a loser' on their mirror." I posted this quote on Instagram the other day (with the disclaimer "please don't actually do this, whether you believe in affirmations or not"). The email responses that came from that post told me loud & clear: we need to talk about the way we talk to & about ourselves. That's what tod...

I believe with all my heart that if you master what we're talking about in today's episode, you can crush any goal you set for yourself. Today's episode is about getting rid of all the drama & all the stories you use to talk  yourself into choices that prevent you from reaching your goals. Today's episode is about distinguishing between what is really happening & the story you tell yourself about...

Today we are talking about how we mess up our body's natural ability to regulate hunger & satiety, or feelings of fullness. Our body is actually designed to keep us from gaining too much weight through a series of hormonal signals. However, we have the ability to impair those hormonal signals by overeating or eating too much sugar, starch & processed foods. Fortunately for all of us, we can fix ou...

"If you get tired of walking up a hill, run. Momentum makes it easier." ~ Ramit Sethi While I know this & adamantly agree with it, reading it in a success tips email from Ramit Sethi was like hearing it & being moved by it for the first time. Today's episode is all about changing strategy to create momentum. Using effort & intensity to make the journey easier, not harder. If you've ever felt like...

Your negative self-talk & committment to your past problems is old news. It is draining you, whether you realize it or not, and it's keeping you from the progress & success you are capable of. It's time to retire all your negativity & complaining and replace those limiting, prescriptive thoughts with inquiries that lead to action. Minisode of tough love! http://primalpotential.com/401/

Should you be taking a supplement? Do you need one? How do you know what you need? How do you know what quality supplements are? In today's episode we're tackling a series of questions to help you decide if you need a supplement, which one you need and if it's improving your health (or you're wasting your money). Before you buy dietary supplements, listen to this episode! For other episodes I've d...

A couple years ago I regularly did "random episodes" answering listener questions & sharing my own personal hacks & strategies. In today's episode, I'm doing both. I'm sharing a personal detoxification strategy and answering a bunch of listener questions including: Does eating this particular food take me out of fat burning mode? What's the best thing I should eat to make sure I stay in fat burnin...

I hope today's episode lights a fire in you! We are talking about how to break out of the pattern of complacency & really fight for your best life. It's not always easy but it's 100% possible and begins with the choices you make today! If you need to understand how to create momentum, motivation & dig into a change that feels too huge to conquer, this episode is for you! http://primalpotential.com...

On today's episode we're talking about boundaries and standards we set for ourselves. These are rules and restrictions but rather reminders that help us make each day as good as it can be. They are reminders that point us in the direction of choices that make us feel our very best. I shared a new boundary I recently created for myself: I don't indulge alone. I shared how I worked through my mental...

In episode 388 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson to talk about his new book, The Keto Reset Diet. During that interview I decided to give the reset a try, as a way of encouraging my body to be a better fat burning. Surprisingly, my boyfriend decided to do the reset as well & in the first 12 days he lost 19 pounds. He was talking about it with some friends when we were out to dinner th...

Insulin is the master fat loss hormone. Optimizing insulin production and release means fat loss, energy, satiety and the absence of cravings. Not optimizing insulin means fat storage, difficulty burning fat, fatigue, mood swings, cravings and more. In episode 394 we introduced the insulin index and explained how insulin can be impacted even when blood sugar is not. Today we're getting tactical &...

Today we are talking about the insulin index. We talk a lot about the way carbohydrates drive insulin and how our control over insulin really determines our energy, hunger, cravings and ability to burn fat. However, there are many more factors at play than just carbohydrate when we're talking about insulin. In fact, there are some foods that don't have much of an impact on blood sugar but do drive...

One of the most destructive ways to hold yourself back & stay stuck in fear and excuses is to believe every thought you think. Do not believe everything you think. In today's impromptu episode, I'm sharing a particularly challenging experience I had this past weekend & how it showed me a huge opportunity to stop believing my thoughts. My thoughts were creating fear and making a tough situation nea...

I absolutely love this episode. A long-time client of mine had a big mindset breakthrough recently & today I'm sharing it with you. For most of her life, this client has indulged almost every day. Chocolate here, ice cream there, she never wanted to miss out on a treat. Even though she wanted to lose weight & get healthy, she didn't want to miss out on indulgences - and that's how she say giving t...
