321: Are You Settling for "Good Enough" or "Better Than Before"? Apr 13, 2017

Show notes

Are you settling for "good enough" or not making further progress because you are "better than before"?

This is something I see all the time when people make progress. Maybe they lose weight, improve their health or start making better choices.

They haven't reached their goal, but their effort drops off because they begin to justify excuses & indulgences based on the improvements they've made so far.

That's a red flag.

By all means, celebrate your progress and improvements but don't ever use them as reasons or rationale for making choices that prevent you from making progress.

320: Happiness As The Path To Health Apr 11, 2017

Show notes

What if, instead of pursuing health as the path to happiness, we pursue happiness as the path to health?

What if we decide that we aren't going to fight against ourselves anymore but rather be militantly on our own side?

You cannot hate your way to a body you love.

You cannot sustain a battle against yourself.

I want you to joyfully pursue a life you love instead of trying to escape the only one you'll ever have.

319: It's Not "More Special" with "More Food" Apr 08, 2017

Show notes

I was on the phone with a client-friend the other day. We were chatting about her goals and what changes she needs to make in order to feel better about her life & her progress.

She said, "I need to stop telling myself that everything is a special occasion".

What she meant was, "I need to stop making everything special also mean overindulging and/or drinking".

And that's different.

It's not about telling yourself "Hey! Not everything is a special occasion!"

It's about practicing a new belief system: more food doesn't make an event more special.

In fact, if often takes away more than it adds!

Don't miss today's short episode!

318: Think Differently Apr 06, 2017

Show notes

You are where you are because of how you think.

We're all very quick to focus on behavioral changes we want, but all behavior, all choices, are driven by thoughts.

If you want to behave differently, if you want to choose differently, you've got to focus on thinking differently.

Today's short podcast episode will help you do just that!

317: What Are You REALLY Hungry For? Apr 04, 2017

Show notes

If you keep turning to food, despite your goals to lose weight or get healthy, it's time to consider: what are you REALLY hungry for?

I've said for years that transformation is far more about tackling WHY we eat and not as much about WHAT we eat. In fact, that's why I created Breaking Barriers.

But today we're diving deeper into what is often missing: lack of connection & relationship with yourself (first and foremost) and also with others.

Wired To Eat

316: Wired To Eat Apr 01, 2017

Show notes

Just a couple weeks ago, Robb Wolf, a leading Paleo health expert, released his new book, Wired to Eat.

I loved it.

Today I'm sharing my primary takeaways from the book with you.

One of the things I loved the most is that Wolf acknowledges we can't approach food from a one-size-fits-all standpoint. We all have different tolerances & sensitivities and he uses this book to help you identify what does, and doesn't, work for you.

What I loved even more than that is his focus on non-food factors that significantly influence our metabolism, body fat, appetite and overall health like sleep, light exposure, stress and loving relationships.

I think the book is a powerful one and I hope you enjoy the takeaways I'm sharing in today's episode!

315: Growth Beyond Your Comfort Zone Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

Today you'll meet one of my male clients as he shares the hard work he did to set his ego aside and pursue growth beyond his comfort zone.

He joined the Fat Loss Fast Track once he decided to stop focusing on what was wrong & all his past failures. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of journaling or taking a look at his emotional eating patterns but he did it anyway.

He realized he had been quite comfortable in his patterns but deeply unhappy. He made the choice to get uncomfortable so he could become happy.

His story is a powerful one. Don't miss it! I have no doubt that he can encourage you to find growth beyond your comfort zone.

Show notes

One of the first questions I ask people when they get on the free Primal Potential VIP email list is "What are you struggling with & how can I help?"

Recently, a common answer has been, "How can I stop bingeing?"

However you define binge eating or simply eating to a point of regret & frustration, today I'm sharing 3.5 strategies (yup, there's a half strategy in there) to help you improve your food behaviors and take more control.

313: Overcome Limiting Beliefs, Self-Doubt and Fear of Failure Mar 25, 2017

Show notes

The other night I hosted a live webinar. I focused on why most of us fail. It's not about food. It's not about exercise. We're projecting our past choices, experiences & disappointments onto our present & future behavior.

We are in our own way. We are limiting our potential based on our pasts.

I want to help you overcome limiting beliefs, see doubt & fear as a lie and plow forward creating a life you love.

I also talk in today's episode about the Spring Fat Loss Fast Track, which kicks off on Sunday April 2nd. You can register here.

312: Fat Loss Breakthrough Mar 23, 2017

Show notes

Guys, I had a fat loss breakthrough. I've shared that 2017 is my a push year for my fat loss goals and I was totally dialed in with food & fitness. Unfortunately, I was overlooking a few critical factors that could make or break my success.

I believe strongly that understanding & optimizing blood sugar and insulin is critical for lasting fat loss. I have been so focused on eating and working out in a way that does so. However, I hadn't considered how non-food factors might be impacting my blood sugar.

In today's episode, I'm sharing my fat loss breakthrough and what I'll be doing to understand how stress, sleep, workouts and food sensitivities are impacting my blood sugar and insulin responses.
