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

Episode Summary: I recently decided to go back into a weight loss phase, and in this episode, I'm telling you exactly why. Spoiler alert: it's not because I hate my body or feel like a failure—it's because of what I learned about how excess body fat impacts your brain, your long-term health, and your everyday clarity, energy, and decision-making. We'll talk about: Why "feeling fine" can actually be a red flag if it keeps you stuck in complacency What I'm changing—even though I was already eating well and exercising How excess fat reduces brain volume, blood flow, and function (even if you feel healthy) Why your brain is absolutely capable of healing and what it needs to do that The real meaning of anti-inflammatory weight loss (and it's not just about food) I'm also answering some of the biggest questions that come up around inflammation and weight, including: Can you heal your brain if damage has already been done? What if you know you need to lose weight but you're just not ready? What if

In this powerful episode, I'm opening up about a recent decision to return to weight loss mode—not from a place of shame or desperation, but from clarity, alignment, and a deep understanding of how excess body fat impacts more than just how we look or feel. It impacts our brain health, our energy, our clarity, our future. Join me in January - IMPACT: Inflammation A full month of education, meal ideas, supplement recommendations, lab recommendations and details around my current weight loss journey.  Secure Your Spot Now In this episode I'm sharing: What really prompted this shift for me The danger of getting stuck in "better than I was" complacency The shocking science around how excess weight affects brain volume and function Why inflammation is not just a buzzword—it's a foundational factor in aging, disease, and cognitive decline And what I'm doing about it now—right through the holidays If you've been feeling like something's "off," or you're functioning fine but not fully thriving, this episo

You're not avoiding the scale. You're not avoiding the bank statement. You're not avoiding the hard conversation or the overflowing inbox. You're avoiding how you think you'll feel when you see it. But here's the truth: You already feel that way. You already feel heavy. You already feel ashamed. You already feel anxious and behind and overwhelmed. Avoidance doesn't protect you — it prolongs your suffering. It doesn't delay the pain — it drains you slowly while convincing you that you're safe. In this episode, we're unpacking: Why avoidance feels like safety but functions like a trap What you're really running from (hint: it's not the number) Why facing it now is easier than carrying it another day And how to start moving forward — even if you're scared This is the wake-up call for anyone avoiding the thing they know they need to face. The number. The truth. The next step. If you're ready to stop circling the truth and start standing in it — this one's for you.

If you're routinely feeling overwhelmed, you can't skip this episode. In fact, you probably ought to share it with all your friends who relate to routine overwhelm? What if it's not so much that you're overwhelmed, but that you're being undisciplined, either with your focus, your time, your choices or your energy? I'm telling you - this is one to save and share because boy, does it change the game! 

Don't wait. Join me. This is a life-changing opportunity, and I say that with every ounce of seriousness that your life and your goals deserve! Secure Your Spot

We treat the holidays like they're a 10-week freefall — but the truth is, most of your meals, your moments, and your mindset are still in your control. In this episode, I'll show you how to stay in your power without swinging to extremes. You'll learn: The surprising "Holiday Math" that changes everything Why your inner narrative matters more than your plan How to use science-backed micro-moves to stay grounded Why movement, sleep, and sunlight aren't about discipline — they're about physiology The real reason people fall off during this season (hint: it's not willpower) Whether you're feeling chaotic, discouraged, or like you always lose ground at this time of year — this episode gives you a new way to stay engaged, without guilt or rigidity.

This is the time of year when most people hit pause on their goals. They drift. They defer. They tell themselves, "I'll get serious again in January." But what if this season — the one most people treat like an exception — could actually be your turning point? In this episode, I'm talking about what I call Separation Season — the window of time between now and the New Year when small daily choices stack up and create the gap between stuck and unstoppable. And spoiler alert: it's not about being perfect. It's about recommitting, over and over again, in small ways that move the needle. But that's not all…

What do you do when you're doing "everything right" but still feel like you're not getting traction? In today's episode, we're unpacking a powerful shift that can help you get out of your own way—whether you're trying to eat better, move more, stay consistent, or simply feel more in control. You'll learn a mental framework that can instantly create clarity, momentum, and sustainable progress (hint: it's not about trying harder). ✨ This conversation will challenge the way you think about change—especially if you're someone who tends to go all in and burn out fast. If you've ever felt like you're starting strong and fizzling out… this is your episode. But here's the deal: change is a lot easier when you're not doing it alone. If you want to go deeper with this and have coaching, accountability, and real-time strategy support:

Have you ever felt like you're doing all the things, but something still feels off? Like you're trying to move forward, but something under the surface keeps pulling you back? What you're tuned to — what you're mentally calibrating to — matters more than anything else. In this episode, I'm sharing the mindset shift that's anchoring me right now, and why it's been a total game-changer for my clients. This isn't about motivation. It's about alignment. It's about tuning into the frequency that keeps you grounded, honest, and moving toward what really matters. If you feel like you're constantly drifting, starting over, or losing steam, this episode is for you.

"Everybody wants to heal… until the medicine shows up in the form of discipline." – Hippocrates (400 B.C.) Why is it so hard to do the things we say we want to do? In today's episode, we're digging into one of the biggest struggles so many of us face: discipline. Not just why it's hard—but why it can feel almost impossible in today's world. We're not lazy. We're not broken. We're living in a world designed to hijack our brains through overstimulation and constant dopamine hits—from social media, processed food, streaming content, even the kind of books we read. In this episode, I'll walk you through: Why discipline feels harder than ever (hint: it's not your fault) How dopamine and your brain's salience network make high-stimulation things feel more important than your goals What makes your brain highlight some things (and ignore others) Why real connection, presence, and long-term goals feel boring when you're overstimulated How to retrain your brain so discipline feels easier, not harder This

We all know what all looks like — strict rules, clean eating, heavy discipline. And we definitely know what nothing looks like — throwing in the towel and saying, "Whatever, I'll start over Monday." But what about the middle? Why does it feel so hard to define… let alone stay in? In today's episode, I'm unpacking a powerful conversation I had with a client who said something so many of us feel: "Navigating the middle feels lost — like no direction. It feels like too much freedom and an impossible place to navigate." Especially this time of year — when schedules are packed, events are frequent, and temptations are everywhere — the middle can feel impossible. We're talking about: Why "the middle" feels so elusive What to do when you don't hold the line How to adjust your goals without abandoning them Why re-engagement matters more than perfection And how to stay in the game — even when you miss the mark This is not about following a perfect plan. It's about building the resilience to keep going wh

A client recently said something that completely stopped me in my tracks: "My mindset determines the choices I'm going to make. Don't decide from a shitty mindset — otherwise, I’ve rigged the game against myself." Mic. Drop. It immediately made me reflect — how often do we do this? How often do we unconsciously (or consciously) make it harder to follow through, succeed, or feel good? In this episode, I’m sharing: What it actually means to rig the game against yourself How to recognize when you’re doing it (with real client stories + examples) What it looks like to rig it in your favor instead The mindset shift from “positive” to helpful that changes everything A journaling prompt to help you create your own breakthrough today

You might feel fine. But chronic inflammation could still be running the show — silently disrupting your hormones, energy, digestion, mood, and metabolism. This episode pulls back the curtain on: Why chronic inflammation is the hidden driver behind so many frustrating symptoms (and major diseases) What you can measure — from blood to stool — to actually track it The difference between CRP and hs-CRP (and why it matters way more than you think) What your body fat, cortisol, gut health, and mitochondria have to do with inflammation And most importantly: what you can do this week to lower inflammation and feel better fast If you’re tired of chasing symptoms — and ready to get to the root — this is for you.

If you’ve ever told yourself “I don’t have time to take care of myself” because you’re too busy taking care of everyone else — this one’s for you. Whether it’s your kids, your job, your partner, aging parents, or your community — a lot of us are constantly pouring out… while running on empty. In this episode, I’m sharing a concept from CrossFit — “core to extremity” — and how it changed the way I think about showing up for others. We’re talking about where real strength comes from, what happens when we don’t start at the center, and how taking care of yourself first is not selfish — it’s strategic. If you feel stretched thin or burned out, this might be the reframe you didn’t know you needed.

You’re not broken. You’re not lazy. But you might be stuck in a loop of trying the same things over and over — even when they’ve never worked. In this episode, I’m diving deep into learned helplessness: why you feel like nothing works, how your brain tricks you into repeating the past, and what you can do to finally break free. We’ll unpack: Why recycling effort isn’t the same as solving the problem How you’ve been overemphasizing options and underemphasizing choice The trap of only considering what you’ve already tried The epidemic of passive consumption (and why it’s costing you your ability to think) This is a wake-up call and a relief — because once you see the loop, you can step out of it.

What if procrastination isn’t the real problem? What if what you see — the delay, the excuses, the inconsistency — is just smoke… and the real fire is underneath? In today’s episode, I’m walking you through a real conversation I had with a client in DEFENSE, where we uncovered the truth behind her procrastination — and it wasn’t time management. It wasn’t planning. It was belief. Identity. A narrow picture of what change had to look like… that she didn’t even want to live. We talk about: Why solving surface problems doesn’t lead to lasting change How “diet food” and “I don’t like exercise” become unconscious blocks What to do when you tell yourself “I’m just not worthy” Why you don’t need to be addicted to your comfort zone anymore

I’ve been asked about this multiple times, so here we go. Today’s episode is a little different. It’s personal. It’s about my faith. You don’t have to agree with me, in fact, I think it might be most valuable to listen if you don’t. Because this isn’t about convincing anyone. It’s about sharing how my faith impacts the way I experience fear, anxiety, the world around me, and how I lead my family. I’m not a theologian. I’m not here to debate doctrine. I’m just here to tell the truth about what’s changed for me and how that plays out in real life. Whether you’ve been curious about my faith journey or you’re just struggling to stay grounded in a chaotic world, I hope this meets you right where you are.

This episode is a mix of practical strategies and personal philosophy, pulled straight from your questions about how I run my home and raise my kids — while still prioritizing consistency, growth, and sanity. Here’s what we cover: ✅ Why I don’t pick up after my kids — and what that has to do with leadership, growth, and long-term habits ✅ What I really want to instill in my kids (hint: it’s way deeper than manners or obedience) ✅ The power of “restraint + kindness” — and how that’s redefining the way I see mercy ✅ How I work to avoid helicopter parenting (even when I really want to intervene) ✅ Easy, healthy meal ideas for busy moms (or anyone who doesn’t want to live in the kitchen) ✅ My personal food strategy: “Dinner once, lunch twice” ✅ How to keep food and parenting simple — but effective
