CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

The other day I overheard a conversation between two women at the gym. One woman was complaining to the other about her stress incontinence, or, as she described it, leaking urine during her workout. The other woman shared that she has the same problem and they attributed it to having kids and talked about how there was no solution other than surgery. That's not true. In today's episode, I'm talking not only about stress incontinence but about how we ignore problems instead of fixing them. That has got to stop. We power through workouts without regard to what is happening with our bodies. We do nothing about aches, pains, incontinence, headaches and other symptoms instead of looking to identify & resolve the underlying issue. Whether you workout or not, whether you experience stress incontinence or not, I strongly recommend you listen to this episode, and to your body. http://primalpotential.com/345-stress-incontinence-solutions/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

A couple weeks ago I went up to Albany, NY to watch one of the CrossFit regional competitions. All of the athletes were highly skilled and wanted to win. However, being highly skilled and wanting to win wasn't enough. As I watched the competition, I paid close attention to factors that made athletes struggle & falter as well as common factors that set athletes up for success. In today's podcast, I'm sharing with you 6 critical strategies that will help you crush your goals based on what I observed at the regionals. We all want something, but that doesn't mean we consistently do the work to stay focused and achieve our desired outcome. Today's episode will help you crush your goals and move from wanting to win to actually winning. http://primalpotential.com/344-crush-your-goals/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Please do not confuse thoughts with emotions. Many people think that it's our emotions, our feelings, that drive our choices. It's not. It's our THOUGHTS. Sure, it can be our thoughts about what we feel, or it can just be thoughts without emotional ties. If you want to change the choices you make, you've first got to understand the thoughts that drive them, both good & bad. You have to be willing to surrender this hyper focus on tactic. If you aren't consistently making the kinds of choices you want it, it's not because you've yet to find the right program, meal plan or calorie allotment. It's because of the way you think prior to making a choice. Today I'm going to help you discover the thoughts that are helping you, the thoughts that are hurting you and what you can do about it. http://primalpotential.com/343-drives-choices/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Can sun exposure increase your metabolism? Can it help you burn fat more efficiently? The answer is yes. In today's episode we're going into the science of sun, your skin & hormones to look at how moderate sun exposure can minimize cravings, reduce inflammation, increase energy and support your metabolism & ability to burn fat. I know our society talks about the dangers of the sun and tells us all to put on sunscreen before we talk to the mailbox but here's the reality: sun burn is bad, the sun is not. There are many health benefits of sun exposure beyond vitamin D and we'll be talking about them today! http://primalpotential.com/342-sun-exposure-your-hormones/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I had a particularly motivating morning the other day. However, it didn't start out that way. It started out with an onslaught of self-doubt, excuses and self-imposed limitations. I am not immune to negativity & excuses. I have just as many doubts & excuses as the next person. Sometimes they win. Often, they don't. In today's motivational minisode I'm sharing my motivational morning and how I work through real limitations without letting them dictate my decisions. http://primalpotential.com/341-motivational-minisode/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I am so pumped to share a powerful conversation I had with one of my Fat Loss Fast Track clients about body image and the real reasons we want to change our bodies, lives & relationship with food. On today's episode, Kristi and I talk about how the mental game of nutrition and weight loss has not only changed her body but also her life. She's brave enough to talk about existing insecurities and what it is that she really wants - why she really wants to lose weight & change her body. If you have ever had a body image issue, this is an episode you won't want to miss! Huge thanks to Kristi for her openness and inspiration! http://primalpotential.com/340-body-image/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I recently sent an email to my Fat Loss Fast Track clients asking them all a direct question: Are you a dropout? I wanted them to think hard about their level of effort and engagement while giving a lifeline to those who need some extra support & encouragement. I want to open the lines of communication with every single one of the FLFTers so we can make the rest of the spring FLFT the best of the spring FLFT. I got some really powerful email responses from folks who have drifted and are struggling. I printed them all out. I studied them and, to the extend that they will let me, I'm working to help all of them become stronger than their excuses. In today's episode I'm sharing some of their emails with you and talking about mental models to help all of us end the drama, stop sensationalizing our choices & become stronger than our excuses. http://primalpotential.com/339-stronger-than-your-excuses/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

There are a series of well-worn lies we tell ourselves about binges. There are a series of stories we tell ourselves that aren't true. They might be familiar, but they certainly aren't true. Today I want to help you move beyond overeating and binging by shining light on these well-worn lies and stories. http://primalpotential.com/338-lie-about-binges/ Resources: Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I rarely make blanket recommendations. When I talk about nutrition, I'm quick to say that strategies depend on your goals. When I talk about nutritional improvements, I'm quick to consider someone's baseline. I'm not going to recommend the Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss to someone who is currently eating fast food & candy every day. It would probably be too big a transition for them, right now. I think that almost all change is relative to the individual and their goals. However, there are a small list of changes that I think EVERYONE would benefit from, regardless of their goals and their baseline. In today's episode I'm sharing what those are and why I think they're so important. http://primalpotential.com/337-6-changes-need-make/ Resources: Water & Water Filters FATCO SkinCare Products The Golden Rules of Carbs & Fat Loss Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I would bet you have someone you admire. Maybe you admire their discipline, work ethic or attitude. I have people like that, too. And if you're like me, you might wish you were more "like them". That you thought like they think, act like they act, or have the magical qualities of discipline and motivation that they have. Been there. Totally get it. But here's what I know: you can change. You can redefine yourself. I went from work-place slacker to hard-driving overachiever. I went from careless spender to disciplined money manager. I went from emotional yo-yo dieter with zero lasting discipline to consistently healthy eater. You can redefine yourself. I am still redefining myself and today I'll tell you how. http://primalpotential.com/336-redefine-yourself/ Resources: Breaking Barriers - Overcoming Self-Limiting Beliefs & Emotional Eating What Is Breaking Barriers Summer Fat Loss Fast Track Wait List How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)
