CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

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.

Enjoy today's book club episode!

Does being disciplined mean missing out on connection?

That's one of the questions we're tackling on today's podcast episode.

Today I'm taking you inside a clip of a bonus webinar within the Fat Loss Fast Track.

Is eating more fat going to increase your cholesterol?

What if you started eating more fat and your cholesterol levels did go up? What does it mean? What does it not mean? How do we interpret cholesterol panels and what should we be paying attention to?

What about triglycerides? Won't eating more fat increase triglycerides?

If you've got these questions, I've got your answers!

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.

Every day I answer tons of listener emails. My responses and the conversations that happen in my inbox cover thousands of important topics from motivation to hormones & everything in between.

The other night I was wishing you guys could see & hear those conversations so today I'm taking you inside my inbox!

We're tackling questions about topics like:

• How to handle "backsliding" after seeing some progress
• How to stop a downward spiral
• What benefits you can expect from adding more fat to your diet
• Unseen ways you're holding yourself back
• A new perspective on sugar cravings

If you've got questions you'd like me to tackle on the show, be sure to comment below!

This week I've had a bunch of one-on-one calls with folks who attended ASCEND, the Primal Potential weekend workshop in early November. Today, those calls had a powerful theme:

The circumstances we use to justify our choices and our commitment & attachment to those stories.

There are a couple aspects of a choice: the setup for the choice & the choice itself.

When we desire change, we often focus on changing the choice itself - we want to eat less, move more, reduce sugar, etc.

However, a more effective approach might be to change the setup. More specifically, it is likely more effective to stop committing to the story you use to justify the choice.

Not sure what this looks like? Tune in to today's episode for examples & strategies!

You can have ambitious goals and pure intentions but if you're eating mindlessly, without paying attention, you're going to struggle to achieve them.

How do we transition from randomly grabbing a handful of crackers or a piece of candy without thinking to intentionally fueling our body by conscious choice?

If you can break the habit (and you can) of eating in front of the tv, while you're driving or from random bags & boxes, your physical progress will increase dramatically.

Today we are talking about tactical strategies to eliminate mindless eating & overcoming the obstacles to executing these strategies on a daily basis.

At the risk of extreme vulnerability & personal sharing, I'm taking you through my 2017 year-end review process in the hopes that you'll be intentional about going through your own.

I made the decision to share much more personal stuff than I normally do to show the necessity of both failure & success and how oftentimes, our most significant launch pad is established by what, if not investigated, appears to be a failure.

Do not wish away the rest of the year. Do not wish away the rest of the day so you can get to your fresh start tomorrow. We've got to work together to completely eliminate this notion of starting tomorrow, Monday, after vacation or at the first of the year.

Today we are talking about 3 strategies you can implement to make the last 6 weeks of the year the absolute best 6 weeks of the year so you can go soaring into 2018 with epic levels of momentum & motivation.

Most of us aren't taking advantage of a huge tool at our disposal: light.

Light has the ability to increase our metabolism, speed our healing, reduce inflammation, increase energy and much more.

Yet, we take it for granted. We think using light is quackery. It's not.

Try to grow a plant in the dark. Overexpose a plant to light. See what happens.

Light is a super-nutrient, as important to human health as it is to plant health, if not more.

Light can dramatically improve our hormones, energy, metabolism, healing, immune system & more.

Alternatively, if not optimized, light can make us tired, unfocused, depressed and sick.

Today we are learning how light influences us, the different types of light and the differing impact and what simple and complex solutions we can begin to implement.
