CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I talk on almost every episode about how important it is to write down what you eat & how it makes you feel. It's not at all about calorie or macro counting but bringing mindfulness to your food choices & your body. There are no more excuses! I've created a free food journal food you & we are going to kick off a 31-day journaling challenge for the month of May! That's right. I'll give you a free f...

After a recent episode on the stress response triggered by caffeine, I received a number of emails about cortisol, adrenal fatigue and if the stress in our lives contributes to weight gain or trouble losing weight. Today we're going to answer the questions. The short answer is this: Yes, the stress you create is keeping you fat and much of the stress we experience is stress we manufacture. We'll t...

It's our 3rd Primal Potential book club episode! Today I'll be sharing the incredible lessons I've learned from the book The Power of Concentration by Theron Q. Dumont. Sure, it's a book about concentration, not a book about health or fat loss, but I'm telling you right now: if you harness the power of concentration for weight loss, you will dramatically improve your results. A couple episodes ago...

You might not believe me, but I'm telling the truth when I say that there is an undeniable (and very powerful) link between your body language and weight loss. There is. I hope you'll be open minded enough to listen to today's episode in its entirety to see what I mean, why & how you can capitalize on this. Not only does our body language influence how we feel, but it influences our hormones. For...

I get a lot of questions about nuts. Everything from, "Are nuts healthy?" to "How can I stop overeating nuts?" Let's tackle these questions and everything in between! There is no black & white answer on the nut issue. In today's episode, as we explore the question, "Are nuts healthy?", I want to show you how to find the right answer for you & adjust your strategy based on your needs, not on univer...

This is definitely an "Elizabeth uncensored" episode! When it comes to weight loss, the most important thing you need to lose is your negative attitude. Seriously. When you argue for your limitations you get to keep them and the majority of people spend more time arguing for why they can't change than for why they can & will. They'll be right every single time. There's not much in the way of show...

  If you are a regular listener to the podcast, you know I am a huge coffee fan. It's true. I drink a lot of coffee and I drink it every single day.

It's true - and what I want to do in today's episode is help you find what is true for you: does coffee make you gain weight? is coffee helping...

Today I am going to share with you some of my own personal weight loss success strategies. Lately, I've been hearing a lot of comments and getting emails about how people wish they were as motivated as I am or had as much willpower as I do. It is not about motivation or willpower. There is nothing I have that you don't have, except practice. I have practiced more and I have simplified more. I'm go...

I get a lot of questions about fat loss, family & friends. I guess, more specifically, I hear from a lot of people that their family & friends make their fat loss more difficult. Today, I want to tackle those challenges (and I do believe they can be simply tackled without trading in your friends or abandoning your family). A lot of this comes down to personal responsibility & understanding that yo...

Today we're having another Primal Potential Book Club episode all about the end of self-sabotage! I read a lot of books and I'm constantly going through books about health, nutrition & fat loss but I only want to share a book with you when I feel a sense of, "Oh my goodness, they NEED to hear this." I most recently got that feeling with a book that has nothing to do with fat loss, yet EVERYTHING t...

I used to talk myself into indulgences & exceptions by saying things like, "This one thing won't hurt" or "it doesn't make a difference." But the small choices can hurt and one thing does make a difference. In today's episode we're talking about how to make the small choices count. One of the tough things about food choices is that they don't usually have immediate negative consequences but they d...

Whether you could relate to binge eating or just emotional eating and overeating, hundreds of you reached out for help and support. Today I want to help you take that next step. I want to cover how to stop overeating & repea...

I want to challenge you to pay more attention to your body & less attention to everyone else's. I want to show you how to interpret the signals your body sends every single day & use them to your advantage. The reality is that your body is constantly communicating with you. It's letting you know what's going right, what's not, which hormones are struggling and which ones are cruising right along....

Do you ever have silent debates with yourself? You know, you make a decision to eat clean & then find yourself debating Girl Scout Cookies?

Today's episode is different. It is intense, it is personal & there are tears. I am talking about binging. I am taking you inside a binge. I'm not doing this to share my secrets or cleanse my soul. I am sharing this episode for 3 reasons: It feels like the right thing to do To publicly share details that most of us never talk about. We talk about dieting, we talk about being frustrated and dealing...

Hidden food sensitivities - sensitivity to foods or types of foods you don't even know you have - might be contributing to fatigue, joint pain, headaches, depression, weight gain or a whole host of other challenges. We need to keep in mind that food sensitivities are possible if you aren't truly "allergic" to an item. Unfortunately, many of us see sensitivity and allergy as all-or-nothing scenario...

But I've got you covered today with 8 ways to get motivated so you can stop THINKING about what you want & starting GETTING it.
