Is extended fasting healthy? Will it put you in starvation mode, lower your metabolism and make you burn muscle? What are the benefits of extended fasting? Who should do it? Who shouldn't? What are the benefits? How do you do it? What can you eat? What can't you eat? How long should a fast be? Is 1 day enough? How long do I have to fast to get benefits? So many questions about extended fasting and we're tackling them today!

The other night I hosted a free, live webinar to share 3 specific changes you can make TODAY to make creating change in your life easier. The reality is, we're making it too hard. Maybe we don't even realize there's an easier way, but there is.

One of my favorite parts of my 12 week coaching groups is when I get to chat on the phone with people, talk about where they are at and collaborate on creating solutions. Last week I had a powerful conversation about how our thoughts & words are like a compass - the point us in a given direction. We can really accelerate our progress when we consider the direction in which a given thought or declaration points us. In this conversation, my client shared that she was often writing in her journal, "The day is already off to a bad start." Given that all declarations are directional and that declaration is a compass - which direction does that declaration point to? Certainly not the way she wants to go... I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation! https://primalpotential.com/467/

Ready for another Food As Medicine episode? I'm really psyched for this one because I'm VERY passionate about sulfur-rich veggies like brussels sprouts & broccoli. I have no doubt that they have transformed my health. Today we are talking about everything from skin health to metabolism, detoxification, hormones, arthritis & asthma. Plus, we'll go into how you can make these veggies super delicious if you're not usually a big veggie fan. https://primalpotential.com/466/ Resources: Register for the Making Change Easier webinar!

There is no circumstance that takes away your ever-present super power: the power of choice. No matter how much time you have, how much stress you're under, how upset you are or how inconsistent your past has been, you still hold the transformative power of choice. It's always with you. In today's episode we're talking about a major barrier to change: elevating your circumstances, diminishing yourself and convincing yourself that you are small & powerless in the face of things that happen to and around you. It's just not true. Today, we're taking your power back. Today, you'll refuse to diminish yourself and step into your power. https://primalpotential.com/465/ Resources: Work with EB this Spring!

The other day I listened to Dan Heath share a story about college professors. It really moved me & inspired this episode. Here's a quick summary of the story he told. A group of college professors were asked what one or two things they'd want their students to remember 10 years later. Of all the things they'd teach, what was most important that they carry with them, understand or know how to do years into the future? The professors all shared their answers. Then, they were asked what percentage of their syllabus was dedicated to teaching that thing. Very little, it turned out. Not nearly enough. I thought about that question. If there was ONE SINGLE THING I could impress upon you guys with my podcast, one single skill, habit or mindset that I could guarantee you mastered and carried with you, what would it be? Today, I'm sharing that thing with you. I'm also promising to talk about & teach this thing much more regularly. Enjoy the episode!

Just because you could lose more weight or you want to lose more weight, doesn't mean you're a failure if you aren't seeing results. We need to stop being ashamed of maintenance or plateaus. We need to see them as critical parts of the process that shouldn't be fought or rushed. One of the best ways to ensure the change you've worked hard to create is permanent is to prove your ability to maintain it. Periods of maintenance can & should happen along the path to progress. Furthermore, it's beyond okay if weight loss isn't your objective at all times. You can have other priorities while you hold the line. I am super fired up to share today's episode with you. You've got to take a listen! https://primalpotential.com/463/ Resources: Join the wait list for the Spring 2018 Fat Loss Fast Track Follow me on Instagram

My travel habits used to be a complete nightmare. I'd binge in airports, overeat on roadtrips and justify every indulgence because I was out of my normal routine. All the while, I'd make myself empty (yet well intentioned) promises about how "on point" I'd be when I returned home. I'd return home from vacations, business trips or road trips feeling exhausted, defeated and tremendously disappointed in myself. I was both physically & emotionally heavier than when I had left. Because of this habit, I feared travel. I felt like it was impossible to make progress towards my goals, impossible to avoid derailing, when I was away from home. But, I successfully transformed my travel habits & in today's episode I'm going to share with you the steps I took to create the change. https://primalpotential.com/462/ Resources: Get on the wait list for the Spring 2018 Fat Loss Fast Track!

I used to fear travel. For me, based on my past experiences, travel was a time for overeating, overindulging, and making all sorts of pledges about how I'll "get serious" when I return home. I'd return exhausted, frustrated, feeling bad about my body and completely overwhelmed by all the changes I wanted to make. In the past few years, I have transformed my travel habits. Over the next two episodes I'll share how I made those changes (without restriction, deprivation or missing out) and I'll also address some of your biggest travel fears & frustrations.

Why is it that we hold others to higher standards than those to which we hold ourselves? Why is it unacceptable for others to break promises to us but we let ourselves off the hook for it every day? Is it not a little hypocritical to demand change from others before demanding it of ourselves? Today's episode is short and powerful.

What does meditation have to do with weight loss? Anything? I say with strong conviction: a lot! First and foremost, meditation decreases cortisol levels. Chronically elevated cortisol levels impair decision making, increase hunger, increase cravings, impair sleep and blunt insulin responsiveness. But: meditation takes time. It's hard. Most people suck at it. Those are the most common objections I hear. If you've ever had those frustrations or if you've wondered about meditation, you will want to hear this episode! https://primalpotential.com/454/ Resources: Primal Potential Episode 453: The Impact of Stress Learn more about Transcendental Meditation or find an instructor near you Guided meditation with Tara Brach Headspace Insight Timer Follow me on Instagram

Two of the biggest threats to your metabolism & overall health are chronic stress and overeating. Interestingly, chronic stress drives overeating and overeating creates additional stress. It's what's known as a "feed forward" cycle. In today's episode we're talking about how stress (physical and emotional) drives appetite and cravings while impairing your ability to make sound decisions. Most importantly, we'll be talking about dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to not only reduce the chronic stressors in your life but also improve your response to them. https://primalpotential.com/453/ Resources: The wait list for the Spring Fat Loss Fast Track is now open!

The other night, I was sitting on the couch around 8pm and all I could think about was that I wanted some chocolate. I was actively talking myself into it, making a case for it, justifying it (successfully) and planning what I would get & where I would get it. Suddenly, I realized that just like I could talk myself into wanting chocolate, I could talk myself into not wanting it. I didn't have to rely on self-discipline or willpower, but I could simply make a case for why I didn't want it. In today's episode I'll show you exactly how I did that and how you can use this approach - willpower & self-discipline not required! https://primalpotential.com/451/ Resources: Subscribe to the Primal Potential Daily Bites Alexa Skill!

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.

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.

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.

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. In today's episode we're talking about tactics and strategies to minimize damage and maximize benefits. You don't want to miss this one! To register for the free New Year's workshops, click here!

I caught myself making a big mistake in my approach to creating an improvement in my life. While my mistake was in the gym, it's a mistake I see most people making in the way they approach losing weight or improving their food choices. This mistake, which I describe in detail in today's show, is choosing intensity before establishing stamina. While this can absolutely happen in the gym, it's just as common in our food choices. Choosing intensity over stamina means choosing the intense approach without first building consistent basics. That might be a Whole 30 right from your standard American diet, or going from indulging too frequently to strict keto - but we jump to the intense approach hoping for faster results without realizing that we haven't laid a solid foundation for change. Then, we bail. We get frustrated or can't sustain the extent of the change and we give up. Our ambition exceeded our preparation. Our motivation is greater than our stamina. We might have the desire to create big changes but we need to slow down, establish a solid foundation and making gradual changes that last instead of massive changes that don't. In today's episode I'm talking about how and where we most often make this mistake and sharing some ideas of how you can establish that stamina for change before dipping your toes in the waters of intensity. https://primalpotential.com/430/ Resources How to leave a rating & review What Is Breaking Barriers How To Leave A Rating & Review (thank you!!!)

I read a lot. Multiple books each week. Within the Primal Potential Masters Club we have a monthly book club where we read, discuss and implement the strategies within many of my all time favorite books. Every once in a while I do a book club episode on the podcast and share ideas from a book I've recently enjoyed. Today we're talking about Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual by Jocko Willink. Though I don't know him, I have an immeasurable amount of respect & admiration for him & his philosophies. Jocko was a Navy Seal & commander of the most decorated special operations unit of the war in Iraq. Since retiring from military service, he has become a successful business man & coach who lives to practice what he preaches. From my perspective, Jocko Willink embodies mental toughness, achievement, bravery & self-discipline. I'm excited to share some of his ideas with you. If you are looking for a swift kick in the pants, buy the book and more importantly, live the ideas within it.

The other day in my Daily Stoic Journal I answered the following question: If I lived today as if it were my last, what would I do? At first, I copped out. I wrote out all the things I'd do & then all the reasons why I couldn't do them. I mean, I have to work! I have responsibilities. Then, I caught myself and said: within the framework of my current reality, what can I do? Instead of focusing on what I would do but can't, what are the things I should do & can? One of those things I said I'd do if it was my last day on earth is record a final message for my Primal Potential family. So, though this is not the last Primal Potential podcast, I wanted to record it as though it was. These are all the things I'd want you to know if it was my last day on earth. http://primalpotential.com/423/ Resources How to leave a rating & review Want to be a part of the Primal Potential community?
