CONSISTENT by Primal Potential

I'm bracing myself! I know many of you aren't going to like what I have to say on this episode! The reason I think there will be resistance is because we live in a quick fix culture. We want what we want and we want it now. We don't want to wait. We don't care about the long term, we'll deal with that later, we just want to get results as fast as possible. This miiiiiight not be the best approach to fat loss. I can tell you from my own experience and my experience with clients that it is absolutely not!

In fact, I think there are two approaches to weight loss (and one usually doesn't work). You can either be playing the short term game or the long term game. The short term game is about speed. It's fueled by impatience which often backfires.

I've been getting a lot of emails about digestive issues ranging from bloating & gas to chronic constipation and intense pain. There are a lot of factors that go into healthy digestion and I hope to tackle most of them on the show. Today, however, we're tackling some common digestive problems that contribute to bloating, gas, indigestion, constipation and diarrhea. We'll overview the digestive process and identify at what stages things frequently go wrong and what we can do about it.

Yes, we want results. We want to make progress yet we find ourselves repeatedly making choices that move us away from our goals. There are two primary reasons we make these not-so-helpful choices: fear of missing out and negativity. In today's episode we'll talk about how to overcome both and how fear of missing out is really not what you think it is.

Yes, we're going there today. We're talking about the links between children, food, hyperactivity and autism.
