What does meditation have to do with weight loss? Anything? I say with strong conviction: a lot! First and foremost, meditation decreases cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol levels impair decision making, increase hunger, increase cravings, impair sleep and blunt insulin responsiveness. But: meditation takes time. It's hard. Most people suck at it. Those are the most common objections I hear. If you've ever had those frustrations or if you've wondered about meditation, you will want to hear this episode! https://primalpotential.com/454/ Resources: Primal Potential Episode 453: The Impact of Stress Learn more about Transcendental Meditation or find an instructor near you Guided meditation with Tara Brach Headspace Insight Timer Follow me on Instagram

Two of the biggest threats to your metabolism & overall health are chronic stress and overeating. Interestingly, chronic stress drives overeating and overeating creates additional stress. It's what's known as a "feed forward" cycle. In today's episode we're talking about how stress (physical and emotional) drives appetite and cravings while impairing your ability to make sound decisions. Most importantly, we'll be talking about dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to not only reduce the chronic stressors in your life but also improve your response to them. https://primalpotential.com/453/ Resources: The wait list for the Spring Fat Loss Fast Track is now open!

Earlier in the week, I shared a post on Instagram that got a lot of people talking. It said: create a life you don't need to escape from. I dove deeper into this idea that you need to create a life you don't want or need to escape from on the blog, but many people requested that I go even deeper on the podcast, and that's what we're doing today! https://primalpotential.com/452/ Resources: Join the wait list for the Spring Fat Loss Fast Track Follow me on Instagram On The Blog: I Refuse...

The other night, I was sitting on the couch around 8pm and all I could think about was that I wanted some chocolate. I was actively talking myself into it, making a case for it, justifying it (successfully) and planning what I would get & where I would get it. Suddenly, I realized that just like I could talk myself into wanting chocolate, I could talk myself into not wanting it. I didn't have to rely on self-discipline or willpower, but I could simply make a case for why I didn't want it. In today's episode I'll show you exactly how I did that and how you can use this approach - willpower & self-discipline not required! https://primalpotential.com/451/ Resources: Subscribe to the Primal Potential Daily Bites Alexa Skill!
