Instead of differentiating between food & drink, what if you saw them both as fuel? That glass of wine is fuel. Does your body need fuel? What happens when you give your body excess fuel? It has to be stored.

The most dangerous excuses are true. The reason they keep winning out over your goals & intentions might be because you realize they are true so you don’t fight against them. You equate “true” and “right”. Just because something is true doesn’t mean it’s the most true thing or the only true thing. We’ve got to stop making assumptions & choosing the most convenient truth. When it comes to making choices & pursuing our goals, we often don’t tell ourselves the whole truth. We don’t even consider the whole truth. It’s time to slow down, work to be less impulsive, less reactive and consider the whole picture. In today's episode we're exploring how you can start doing that today. https://primalpotential.com/444/ Resources 441: Do You Feel Stuck?

Earlier in the week I got an email asking, "Why aren't beans paleo?" It's a great question & one we're diving into in today's episode. We'll talk about macronutrients - are beans really a good source of protein? Do they have a lot of carbs? We'll talk about micronutrients - can your body actually absorb & utilize the iron & zinc you see listed on the nutrition label? We'll also talk about other components in beans and how they interact with our bodies at the cellular level. If you're a bean eater, this is a must-hear episode! https://primalpotential.com/443/ Resources Dr. Loren Cordain on beans How to leave a rating & review What Is Breaking Barriers How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

Our lives are busy. We all have a lot going on. And, unfortunately, that often means we aren't achieving our most important goals. When we aren't intentional about the highest priorities in our lives, we can easily become victims of our circumstances, feeling that there isn't enough time or energy to do what we should be doing. That needs to change. That can change. Creating change doesn't require that your life be stress free and your days be wide open. It just requires that we not let the things that matter most be at the mercy of the things that matter least. If something has disproportionate importance, it needs disproportionate priority. In today's episode we're talking about how to make this philosophy a reality that is reflected in your choices & your actions and we're talking about the ideas in the book The ONE Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan. https://primalpotential.com/442/ Resources The ONE Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan 441: Do You Feel Stuck?

At times, we all feel stuck. Or unhappy. Or both. In today's episode I'm talking about the danger of participating in our own problems instead of participating in the solutions. When we complain, blame, rehash the past, gossip, explain & justify, we are participating in the problem, not the solution. When we participate in the problem, our energy, attention, time & effort are going to proving that we are right and that our struggle is real instead of going towards getting it right, regardless of the details. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite episodes of the podcast so far.

For most people, eating out is a struggle when they're trying to lose weight. Maybe you feel like your options are limited or if you make a "healthy" choice, you're making a sacrifice and won't enjoy it. Sure, we all know that we could get a salad or a burger without the bun and if that's the extent of the options we think we have, of course we feel limited! There are so many other creative ways to enjoy eating out, love your food and feel great after you eat it! Today's episode is a short one but hopefully it will give you some great new ideas for the next time you eat out! https://primalpotential.com/439/ Resources 091: Eating Out For Weight Loss How to leave a rating & review What Is Breaking Barriers How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

We are so used to overthinking, overconsuming, overanalyzing and coming up with long term strategic plans that we've forgotten how to simplify. I had a listener email me recently saying that she wants to stop dieting. She wants to get healthy. She doesn't want to over-restrict or count anything, she just wants to eat more real food and less processed foods. Then she said, "I have no idea where to start". That is evidence of how far we've strayed from simplicity. Where she starts is, quite simply: how can I execute that today? What can I do today to eat more whole foods? What can I do today to eat fewer processed foods? But simplicity is not just about food. We've lost simplicity in our belongings. In our thoughts. In our actions. And today, we begin to get it back.

Let's stop fighting against ourselves & relying on discipline and willpower to create change. I believe that one of the most simple things we can do to make change easier and dramatically accelerate our rate of progress is: ask better questions. Tim Ferriss says that if you want uncommon results, ask uncommonly clear questions. Tony Robbins says that the quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask yourself. I'll add to that "and the honesty with which you answer & frequency with which you ask"! We are doing that work today!

We have more bacterial cells and bacterial genes in our bodies than we do human cells and human genes. Our microbiome influences every single aspect of our health. It has a tremendous influence over our metabolisms, hunger, appetite, fat storage and fat burning. If we aren't being intentional about optimizing our microbiome, chances are that it's not working in our favor, or, a best, not working for us as well as it could.
