Primal Potential - The Anti-diet Solution To Mastering Fat Loss Naturally

Today I'm sharing my coaching method with you. This isn't just how I work with clients, it's how I coach myself. I'm not on a diet and I don't "put" my clients on a diet. I'm not into guilt, drama, negativity, sacrifice or an obsession with a "goal weight". Today I'll share with you my thoughts on paying attention, aligning your thoughts with what you want, creating change via evolution, not revolution, improving your outlook and constantly adjusting. If you are ready to do things differently and create permanent change (while enjoying the process), this is your episode. https://primalpotential.com/550/ Before we dive into the episode: today I shared an opportunity for you to take a sneak peak inside the winter 12 Weeks to Transformation! While the podcast is mostly about information and strategy, the 12 WT is all about action. It's about getting off the sidelines, into the game, and returning to action every day. In addition to weekly challenges, a guided daily journal, a private Facebook group and weekly li

It's the final episode of 2018 and today I'm sharing my process of reflecting on the past year and creating priorities and plans for the one to come. A year-end review is something I've come to love and enjoy at the end of every year. In fact, I've been doing a month-end review for the last several months and I absolutely plan to continue. Join me today to not only hear the structure I follow in these reviews, but also for my reflection on 2018 and my personal and professional plans for the new year! https://primalpotential.com/549/ Before we dive into the episode: today I shared an opportunity for you to take a sneak peak inside the winter 12 Weeks to Transformation!

You know what to do but you aren't consistently doing it. You're super clear on the problem, but you aren't holding yourself accountable to taking action on creating the solution. You think about it all the time. You wish things were different. Maybe you're frustrated or sometimes feel disappointed in yourself and your choices. I have those conversations every single day. This week in particular, I had about dozens of phone calls with current clients and there were 3 strategies that kept coming up again and again. These are strategies to help you get out of your way that make change dramatically (and immediately) easier! If you feel like you're usually the primary thing holding you back - this episode is totally for you!

We are so quick to spread ideas that are negative. We're quick to share about the problems in our lives or the things that upset us, and while I think being open is valuable, I also think it's high time to start spreading some ideas that make us better - that make us happier and healthier while improving all the relationships in our lives (especially the relationships we have with ourselves). How's that for a big 'ol run-on sentence? In today's episode, I'm sharing 10 powerful thoughts I strongly believe are ideas worth spreading and I hope we'll do just that! I hope we'll practice them, we'll embrace them and we'll share them with people we love by way of our own example. Do you have an idea you believe is worth spreading? Share it with me by tagging me on Instagram with a picture of this episode playing on your device and tell me what idea you believe is worth spreading! Here's to creating change, one moment at a time, by embracing these 10 ideas worth spreading! https://primalpotential.com/547/ Resources:

Not long ago, someone asked me if I'd provide transcripts for the 12 WT weekly challenge webinars. Then, I got a similar question about the format of the 12 Weeks to Transformation. My answer to both requests was the same... "Is the information in the 12 Weeks to Transformation all videos? If so, is there any way to have a transcript of the content? I don't retain information very well when it is presented verbally. I do much better with the written word." Here's the deal, my friend. We aren't here to learn. We're here to change. There's a really big difference in those two approaches and many people follow the familiar "learning" path, failing to realize that it's not the same as the "changing" path.  We're diving into that in today's episode of the podcast and I'll be sharing how I coach clients through the changing process (not the learning process) in my 12 Weeks to Transformation groups.  https://primalpotential.com/546/ Resources: Register for the Winter 2019 12 Weeks to Transformation Watch the webin

Insecurity. Fear of what others think. We're going there today, not to have a theoretical discussion, but to talk about strategies and perspectives that will help each one of us stop letting those feelings limit our lives. It's a choice.

Today I have the great pleasure of talking with Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine (a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner) about their newest book, Real Food Keto. First and foremost, this episode is about far more than ketogenic diets. Even if you aren't a ketogenic eater, you want to listen to this episode. I was so excited to see a book come on the market that focuses on real food and nutrient density. Sure, there are lots of bars and shakes out there. There are an increasing number of keto cookies and brownies and paleo desserts. In fact, there are so many of these type of things that a lot of people are losing sight of HEALTH. For the sake of health, longevity, mood, energy and overall wellness, our food choices must be about more than impact on our waist line and overall flavor. Nutrient density matters. I could rant about this for days and weeks, but instead, let's dive into the conversation with Jimmy & Christine. We have a thoughtful conversation about dietary individuality, myths surrounding ketoge

Fact: We all get older. Myth: Getting older means increased body fat, decreased energy, memory issues, joint pain and chronic illness. You can age well. You can get or stay lean. You can maintain energy and cognitive function. Fact: We all have genes. Myth: Genes determine how you age. We can control the expression of our genes. We can turn gene expression on or off, up or down, by the way we eat, sleep, move and stress. It's been a long time since we've done a book review episode but that's exactly what we're doing today!

I'm not immune to temptation or moments of apathy. I absolutely have moments, days and even weeks where I think thoughts like, "Who cares? What's the point?" I absolutely have moments (and days) when I want to eat all the things that aren't nailed down. I'm not different from most people in that regard. However, I might be a little different in how I respond to them. In today's episode, I'm sharing a simple and powerful strategy I use to win the hard moments in my life.

I hope everyone listens to this episode! My friend: once you go beyond the wonderful age of 30, you will lose muscle mass unless you intentionally and consistently work to maintain or increase it. This rate of muscle loss can range from 3-8% per decade! Think about that! You could have 16% less muscle mass by the age of 50! Why does this matter? Contrary to popular belief, this isn't just a cosmetic issue related to body composition. It's not just about strength, balance and mobility. We need to take action to prevent muscle loss and faciliate muscle building in order to stay healthy, prevent diabetes, have a healthy metabolism and much, more more. Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle wasting, is both reversible and preventable. Today we will explore the systemic impact of sarcopenia on your health and discuss what you can do about it!

What's your bliss point? That's the conversation I want to have with you as we go into the holiday season. For me, feeling amazing during the holidays has as much to do with my mindset as it does to do with my choices. Probably even more. I used to go into the holidays with a ton of anxiety. I was worried about the food that would be available. I worried about overeating and I worried about restriction and missing out. It didn't work. I wasn't happy. I wasn't enjoying myself. Now, I think about my bliss point. The intersection of enjoyment and feeling amazing. This is actually a common marketing term! A bliss point is the amount of consumption that maximizes a customer's satisfaction for a particular good or service. For example, the bliss point of ice cream might be one small bowl and the bliss point for travel might be one trip a month. A customer who exceeds their bliss point may feel stressed, unsatisfied or regretful. Bliss point is purely related to a customer's needs and wants as opposed to budget. It

This week, my whole perspective changed. I won't sugar coat it: I've been stressed out. I'm been anxious. I've been indulging thoughts of fear and worry. Then, something really powerful and unexpected it happened. It blew my mind and I think it will really floor you, too. It changed my whole perspective and I hope I never, ever forget this lesson!

Too many of us stay busy doing things that don't really matter. We live in a self-created vortex of tasks and work, rarely pausing to consider: Is this necessary? Is it working? Is it improving my life? Is the return on this worth the time and energy it requires? I read something the other day that I'm certain will improve my relationships, my work-life and my health. Not surprisingly, it wasn't about relationships or health; it was about real estate. When rennovating homes, most people spend money where it doesn't need to be spent. They aren't disciplined in how they deploy their funds. To counteract this tendency, they're taught to break down potential home improvements into the following categories: Necessary and increases value Unnecessary and increases value Necessary and does not increase value Unnecessary and does not increase value In today's episode of the podcast, we're talking about the application of this practice to our task lists, our communication and our goals. I hope you enjoy it! https:/

If I challenged you to complete a broad jump - to leap forward as far as you can - where would you place your feet before jumping? If your feet are spread too wide, you lose power. You can't initate a powerful leap if your feet are spread wider than your hips. Similarly, you can't jump as far if your feet are too close together. It's pretty common for fitness coaches and trainers to correct someone's stance. If your feet aren't in the right place, you can't perform well. The same thing is true in life. Your power stance, in life, isn't about where you put your feet but rather where you put your attention. If your attention is on the past or the future, you're losing power to take full advantage of the moment you're in.
