CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

If you keep turning to food, despite your goals to lose weight or get healthy, it's time to consider: what are you REALLY hungry for? I've said for years that transformation is far more about tackling WHY we eat and not as much about WHAT we eat. In fact, that's why I created Breaking Barriers. But today we're diving deeper into what is often missing: lack of connection & relationship with yoursel...

Just a couple weeks ago, Robb Wolf, a leading Paleo health expert, released his new book, Wired to Eat. I loved it. Today I'm sharing my primary takeaways from the book with you. One of the things I loved the most is that Wolf acknowledges we can't approach food from a one-size-fits-all standpoint. We all have different tolerances & sensitivities and he uses this book to help you identify what doe...

Today you'll meet one of my male clients as he shares the hard work he did to set his ego aside and pursue growth beyond his comfort zone. He joined the Fat Loss Fast Track once he decided to stop focusing on what was wrong & all his past failures. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of journaling or taking a look at his emotional eating patterns but he did it anyway. He realized he had been quite...

One of the first questions I ask people when they get on the free Primal Potential VIP email list is "What are you struggling with & how can I help?" Recently, a common answer has been, "How can I stop bingeing?" However you define binge eating or simply eating to a point of regret & frustration, today I'm sharing 3.5 strategies (yup, there's a half strategy in there) to help you improve your food...

The other night I hosted a live webinar. I focused on why most of us fail. It's not about food. It's not about exercise. We're projecting our past choices, experiences & disappointments onto our present & future behavior. We are in our own way. We are limiting our potential based on our pasts. I want to help you overcome limiting beliefs, see doubt & fear as a lie and plow forward creating a life...

Guys, I had a fat loss breakthrough. I've shared that 2017 is my a push year for my fat loss goals and I was totally dialed in with food & fitness. Unfortunately, I was overlooking a few critical factors that could make or break my success. I believe strongly that understanding & optimizing blood sugar and insulin is critical for lasting fat loss. I have been so focused on eating and working out i...

I am as surprised to write this as you might be to read this: I just completed a 5-day fast. Essentially, for 5 days, I had nothing but water and coffee. During the first full 24 hours I had a couple of very low sugar kombuchas but yeah...crazy, right? In episodes 300 and 307  I talked about why I did it and why I feel strongly that it's dramatically different (emotionally & metabolically) from a...

The other day, while dealing with multiple airport delays, I realized I have a super power. I believe this super power is what is largely responsible for me not ditching all healthy habits I fought so hard to build when my life got turned upside down with health & personal issues. That super power is a work in progress but it is changing my life more and more every day. In today's episode I'm shar...

Ready for a little fire this morning? I want to help you crush your comfort zone. I've shared that I'm taking steps each day to make myself uncomfortable for the sake of growth and moving to the next level & I want to help you do the same. In today's minisode I share my perspective that discomfort needs to be the starting line, not the finish line. I challenge you to find your limits by doing thin...

We all want consistent results. Of course we do! Unfortunately, we often invest more energy in hoping for outcomes than in maximizing our effort & consistency. In today's episode, I'm sharing a conversation with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients where we talk about effort versus outcomes. When I asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted more consistent results. I quickly redirected her to...

The other day I sent out an email explaining how I have declared 2017 a year of "push" towards my physical goals. In less than 24 hours I received over 700 responses to that email and most of you were inspired to push in your own lives. Many people had questions about patience versus surrender - about how to know if you're copping out and making excuses or if you really need to be patient for a se...

Today we're tackling "the gap" - the space between where you are and where you want to be or between what you intend to do and what you actually do. In that gap are your excuses. This is a bit of a workshop episode on eliminating excuses. Once you do that, you close the gap between your ideal and your reality. It's time to stop accepting and believing your excuses. It's time to eliminate them. htt...

But enjoying food without regret is absolutely possible! Today I'm sharing a conversation with one of my clients who is learning to do just that. She comes from an Italian family where food & drink was not just fuel but a way of...

Many of us spend an absurd amount of time thinking. We want to understand our behavior. We want to craft a perfect plan. We ask a million questions about our choices, decisions and lack of motivation. It's time to turn thinking into doing so we can use our precious energy in a way that gets results. Todays episode is just that: how to turn thinking into doing. Let's go! http://primalpotential.com/...

The other day I was in the middle of a hard workout and I thought of a lesson I learned from one of my past trainers (and great friend), Nathan Keil. See, I used to use the transition from one exercise to another as a build in pause or rest. Whether it was 5 seconds or a minute, it was a built-in rest. One day, during a particularly intense workout, Nathan said, "go immediately to the first rep of...

I think we can all relate to periods of focus & determination as well as periods of avoidance and not doing the work. The transition between those two periods begins with drifting. It might start as a slow drift but we gradually turn our attention away from our focus & our goals. So how do you stop drifting? Even when you aren't enthusiastically doing the work, how can you avoid the drift that pre...
