CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I love Saturday shows! Today we're talking food guilt, food sensitivity, family meals and so much more! Here are the specific questions from today's episode: I'm stressed out about my husband's disorganization! How do I overcome my reaction to it? Are the podcast episode notes available for early episodes? I am only on EP 021 and cannot find them on the app or online/website. I struggle with guilty eating. Not feeling guilty for what I eat but feeling guilty for NOT eating. Example: every Sunday my parents cook spaghetti and meat balls and dessert and my mother is a self proclaimed food pusher. Between the Italian in them and the catholic guilt, I feel guilty they take all this time and money to make a nice meal and it's not really something that loves me back. What do you recommend to someone who has lots of food sensitivities? I've hit a plateau - what advice do you have? Is it detrimental to constantly argue with yourself for positive thoughts? How did you grow your Primal Potential audience? https://primalpotential.com/643/ Hop on the wait list for the Fall 12 WT!

Are you playing small? On today's episode I share with you a quote I first heard from Tim Ferriss: "The more labels you apply to yourself, the stupider you become." I'll amend it slightly to say: The more labels you apply to yourself, the smaller your life becomes. Labels limit you. I hear them every day. I'm an emotional eater. I'm an all-or-nothing person. I'm anxious. I'm a spender. I'm not an athlete. The reality is, you can choose to show up however you want to TODAY. You are not limited by yourself but you will be limited by the labels you cling to. If you want to step beyond these limits and into your potential, don't miss today's episode! https://primalpotential.com/642/

A couple weeks ago, I had a powerful conversation about my own need to relax and release. It was a real paradigm-shifting moment for me that came out of a conversation I had with pre & postnatal expert Jessie Mundell. Though the context of our conversation was related to my experience in pregnancy, the lesson I took away from it is so widely applicable to absolutely everyone who listens to this show. Sometimes, what matters more than strength is the ability to relax and release. Sometimes, the most important skill we need to develop is the one that allows us to be mentally, physically and emotionally relaxed. I know for sure that you're going to LOVE this episode! https://primalpotential.com/641/ You can listen to my entire conversation with Jessie here.

In the last few weeks, I have been asked at least once a day to talk more about the link between gut health & hormones. I recently announced that I am pregnant and I've shared that I KNOW a big part of the reason I was able to get pregnant naturally is because I focused on improving my gut health in the months before conceiving. If you've followed my story, you know it involves a number of hormonal imbalances. I was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) when I was 16 years old. In my mid-twenties, a fertility specialist told me I'd need medical interventions to get pregnant. In my early thirties I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroiditis, an auto-immune thyroid condition. When I froze my eggs in 2017, I was again told that it was highly unlikely that I could get pregnant without intervention. And yet, I did. In fact, we conceived the very first month we began to try. But don't fret - today's episode isn't about fertility (entirely). Our gut health impacts our hormones. Thyroid hormones, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, insulin...gut health impacts menopause, energy, body composition and so much more. That's what we're looking at today. https://primalpotential.com/635/

These listener Q&As are some of my favorites! Today Sarah and I are diving into so much stuff including: Feeling blah and losing your zest for life High cholesterol What my first courses looked like and how they have changed Dealing with "bad supervisors" or difficult people Maintaining your "ideal" body size Daily coaching audios Knowing what your gut needs Self-doubt & insecurity I also recommend Chasing Cupcakes in today's episode - if you haven't read it, I'd love for you to give it a go and let me know what you think!
