CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Elizabeth Benton
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

Q&A 27: Magnesium for PMS & Magnesium for Athletes
Last week I aired an episode discussing 10 reasons you need magnesium for fat loss and health. It was a pretty awesome show and it generated a ton of great questions! The volume and quality of questions clearly indicated the need for a second show! In today's Q&A episode we're answering those questions and diving into deep detail about how magnesium works in the body. Specifically, we're going to talk about magnesium for PMS and how it impacts cravings (especially those for chocolate) and headaches. We're also going to talk about how magnesium impacts workout performance and how & why athletes have different magnesium needs. Lastly, we'll dive into more about supplements, topicals and epsom salts. http://primalpotential.com/magnesium-for-PMS/

Ep 077: How To Stop Self Sabotage
For most of us, certainly for me, the key to achieving and maintaining your weight loss goals is in understanding how to stop self sabotage. It's in your ability to understand how you get in your own way, how you routinely sabotage your efforts (consciously or unconsciously) and then changing your behavior accordingly. This is far easier said than done but it is 100% possible if you're willing to pay attention, be honest with yourself and acknowledge that you have everything it takes to improve your life and change your behavior. http://primalpotential.com/how-to-stop-self-sabotage/

Q&A 24: The Gap Between Planning and Doing
In today's episode we're addressing a listener challenge that, to me, points to the gap between planning and doing. Maybe you recognize this pattern: you establish a plan. You set goals. You draft a menu for the week. You pre-determine how many workouts you'll get in. You stock up on healthy groceries. You don't execute. The groceries go to waste. You don't make it to the gym. You bring home takeout after working late. The next week, you go back to the same process. You refine your plan. You make it more specific. You spend more time on the plan than on the execution of the plan. http://primalpotential.com/gap-between-planning-and-doing/
