My travel habits used to be a complete nightmare. I'd binge in airports, overeat on roadtrips and justify every indulgence because I was out of my normal routine. All the while, I'd make myself empty (yet well intentioned) promises about how "on point" I'd be when I returned home. I'd return home from vacations, business trips or road trips feeling exhausted, defeated and tremendously disappointed in myself. I was both physically & emotionally heavier than when I had left. Because of this habit, I feared travel. I felt like it was impossible to make progress towards my goals, impossible to avoid derailing, when I was away from home. But, I successfully transformed my travel habits & in today's episode I'm going to share with you the steps I took to create the change. https://primalpotential.com/462/ Resources: Get on the wait list for the Spring 2018 Fat Loss Fast Track!

I used to fear travel. For me, based on my past experiences, travel was a time for overeating, overindulging, and making all sorts of pledges about how I'll "get serious" when I return home. I'd return exhausted, frustrated, feeling bad about my body and completely overwhelmed by all the changes I wanted to make. In the past few years, I have transformed my travel habits. Over the next two episodes I'll share how I made those changes (without restriction, deprivation or missing out) and I'll also address some of your biggest travel fears & frustrations.

Why is it that we hold others to higher standards than those to which we hold ourselves? Why is it unacceptable for others to break promises to us but we let ourselves off the hook for it every day? Is it not a little hypocritical to demand change from others before demanding it of ourselves? Today's episode is short and powerful. I hope you'll take a listen and then take action. https://primalpotential.com/460 Resources: Join the Wait List for the Spring 2018 Fat Loss Fast Track What is Breaking Barriers Check out Thrive Market!

Two completely random things inspired me this week. They reminded me of how I'm probably the least likely person on the planet to end up with a podcast about fat loss. My journey has been hard. It's been full of struggle. And yet, I'm here.

For the past couple weeks, I've been challenging myself to eat more raw vegetables. I wanted to see if there was an impact on my digestion and my energy levels. There has been. In today's episode I'm going to talk about the pros & cons of raw vegetables, which ones you should eat raw and which ones are best prepared cooked (from a nutritional standpoint). I'm going to share the changes I've made recently, specifically how I'm incorporating raw vegetables and what benefits I've noticed.

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!
