This past weekend was undeniably one of the best of my life. ASCEND, the annual Primal Potential transformation weekend event, was a massive success.

I was changed. People who attended were changed. Relationships were formed & breakthroughs happened left & right.

I am still processing everything that happened.

In today's episode I'm sharing my 5 major mindset takeaways from the weekend.

For those of you who weren't able to make it, make sure you stay tuned to find out when & where the next transformation weekend will be!

Oooooh boy do I have a great episode for you today! Since I am spending today in Boston with my ASCEND 2017 attendees, I thought I'd let you in on a little of the fun by sharing an audio from ASCEND 2016!

Today's podcast is one of the lectures from ASCEND 2016 on the power of simplicity.

This podcast is about doing less to get more.

It's about embracing a simple change instead of battling for a complex one.

It's about breaking away from the mindset that we need to do 4,000 things to create success and embracing the mindset that we need to just do 4 things and do them 4,000 times.

Enjoy this look inside last year's ASCEND event!

There's a huge difference between choices that bring you pleasure and choices that make you happy. Ultimately, we want to work towards choices that bring both!

In today's episode I'm talking about an interaction with a Fat Loss Fast Track client who told me that binges make her happy.

Since I've had the opportunity to hear her describe those binges, I know it's not true. I know they make her feel frustrated, defeated, out of control and hopeless.

However, the foods she binges on definitely bring her momentary pleasure.

How can we find the intersection of both? It comes not just to what we eat, but also to why, when and how much we eat.

That's what we're diving into in today's episode. Don't miss it!

"If you don't believe in affirmations, go into your child's bathroom and write 'I am a loser' on their mirror."

I posted this quote on Instagram the other day (with the disclaimer "please don't actually do this, whether you believe in affirmations or not").

The email responses that came from that post told me loud & clear: we need to talk about the way we talk to & about ourselves.

That's what today's episode is all about - how and why we need to change the way we talk to & about ourselves.

Lots of people know their negativity isn't helping, but they feel like they can't stop it.

Today I introduce 3 powerful strategies to help you make the single change that could make the most difference in your progress & overall happiness:

  • The neutral redirect
  • The empowering redirect
  • The positive redirect

I believe with all my heart that if you master what we're talking about in today's episode, you can crush any goal you set for yourself.

Today's episode is about getting rid of all the drama & all the stories you use to talk  yourself into choices that prevent you from reaching your goals.

Today's episode is about distinguishing between what is really happening & the story you tell yourself about what is happening.

Today we are looking at a couple basic yet powerful ideas:

What is really happening without your story?

Implementing simple decision making criteria.

Oftentimes, we distract and exhaust ourselves with complicated stories about our past or our fears of the future and we get far away from what is really happening and the simple choice that needs to be made.

Today we are cutting through all the drama and getting to the basics of the decision at hand & how you can master challenging moments.

If you listen to any episode, listen to this one!

Today we are talking about how we mess up our body's natural ability to regulate hunger & satiety, or feelings of fullness.

Our body is actually designed to keep us from gaining too much weight through a series of hormonal signals.

However, we have the ability to impair those hormonal signals by overeating or eating too much sugar, starch & processed foods.

Fortunately for all of us, we can fix our hunger & satiety mechanisms and when we do, fat loss gets so much easier.

Hunger diminishes, satiety returns and cravings fade away.

If you have ever felt like you feel hungry shortly after eating or it takes a lot to feel full, this episode should be really helpful to you!

Your negative self-talk & committment to your past problems is old news. It is draining you, whether you realize it or not, and it's keeping you from the progress & success you are capable of.

It's time to retire all your negativity & complaining and replace those limiting, prescriptive thoughts with inquiries that lead to action.

A couple years ago I regularly did "random episodes" answering listener questions & sharing my own personal hacks & strategies.

In today's episode, I'm doing both. I'm sharing a personal detoxification strategy and answering a bunch of listener questions including:

Does eating this particular food take me out of fat burning mode?
What's the best thing I should eat to make sure I stay in fat burning mode?
Does exercising after eating sugar prevent fat storage?
I also answer some mindset related questions from listeners who are frustrated that they aren't taking action to reach their goals. They want to lose weight, they want to eat better & they know what it matters so much, but they're still failing to take action & make it happen.

On today's episode we're talking about boundaries and standards we set for ourselves. These are rules and restrictions but rather reminders that help us make each day as good as it can be. They are reminders that point us in the direction of choices that make us feel our very best.

I shared a new boundary I recently created for myself: I don't indulge alone. I shared how I worked through my mental resistance to this change and the big ways I think it's going to improve my life and my mindset.

Lastly, I talk about my honest answer to a great question from a listener. She asked, "How do you balance making progress towards your goals with being at peace with your choices & your body?"

In episode 388 I had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson to talk about his new book, The Keto Reset Diet. During that interview I decided to give the reset a try, as a way of encouraging my body to be a better fat burning.

Surprisingly, my boyfriend decided to do the reset as well & in the first 12 days he lost 19 pounds.

He was talking about it with some friends when we were out to dinner the other night & the amount of bad (well intentioned but misinformed) advice that got tossed around was staggering.

I'm not one to give unsolicited advice so I didn't jump in or counter any arguments, I just listened. I'm sure my boyfriend knew that my mind was racing, but I'm certainly not going to correct anyone who isn't looking to learn (but rather to share what they're sure they know).

Anyways, in today's episode I thought I'd share the advice that was tossed around and give my two cents where people do come to hear my insights & opinions.

Insulin is the master fat loss hormone. Optimizing insulin production and release means fat loss, energy, satiety and the absence of cravings.

Not optimizing insulin means fat storage, difficulty burning fat, fatigue, mood swings, cravings and more.

In episode 394 we introduced the insulin index and explained how insulin can be impacted even when blood sugar is not.

Today we're getting tactical & specific - reviewing which foods might have zero carbs but still produce a measurable insulin response and what you should do about it.

Today we are talking about the insulin index. We talk a lot about the way carbohydrates drive insulin and how our control over insulin really determines our energy, hunger, cravings and ability to burn fat.

However, there are many more factors at play than just carbohydrate when we're talking about insulin.

In fact, there are some foods that don't have much of an impact on blood sugar but do drive an insulin response.

Today is part 1 of a 2 part series where we'll look at all the factors that influence insulin, including some of the tricky ones you wouldn't expect!

One of the most destructive ways to hold yourself back & stay stuck in fear and excuses is to believe every thought you think.

Do not believe everything you think.

In today's impromptu episode, I'm sharing a particularly challenging experience I had this past weekend & how it showed me a huge opportunity to stop believing my thoughts.

My thoughts were creating fear and making a tough situation nearly impossible.

If you find yourself stuck in delay, doubt, excuses and inconsistencies, this will be a powerful episode for you!

I absolutely love this episode. A long-time client of mine had a big mindset breakthrough recently & today I'm sharing it with you.

For most of her life, this client has indulged almost every day. Chocolate here, ice cream there, she never wanted to miss out on a treat.

Even though she wanted to lose weight & get healthy, she didn't want to miss out on indulgences - and that's how she say giving them up - missing out.

We talked about a lot of different strategies over many months of work - focusing on what's really worth it & what's not, indulging with less frequency - we tried lots of things.

However, her story remained the same: I love treats and I don't want to miss out on them.

Recently, she decided to change her story. In today's episode I'm sharing her breakthrough as well as my own perspective shift.

If you feel like you're inconsistent and struggle to resist temptation, this episode is for you!

We are all coaches. The person we coach most often and most influentially is ourself. Unfortunately, many of us keep calling plays that don't work.

In today's episode I'm sharing a coaching call I had with a Fat Loss Fast Track client that's really about about mindset. We talk about lies we tell ourselves, how the little things actually do matter and how you can identify the strategies you keep returning to that simply aren't working.

We also talk about the trap of "improvement" and how we can use "improvement" at the expense of "progress"

What's the difference between primal and keto? How do I know if I'm in ketosis? Do I have to be in ketosis to burn fat?

We're tackling these questions and a whole lot more in today's episode.

In episode 387 I laid the foundation for our week of discussion around ketogenic diets. I defined ketosis, ketones and talked a little bit about "clean keto" versus all those keto plans touting ketogenic treats & desserts.

In episode 388 I had the great pleasure of interviewing Mark Sisson (author of The Primal Blueprint) and talking about his newest book, The Keto Reset Diet.

Today we're doing a bit of a debrief on those episodes to answer some questions and dive deeper into some of the powerful points we rushed through in episode 388.

If you've got questions about fat burning, ketosis or anything we talked about in episodes 387 or 388, don't miss this episode!

Reminder: next week I'm hosting a free mindset & motivation masterclass. The more we talk about nutrition & consistency, the more I feel the need to tackle mindset and the ability to create motivation because we can know a lot about nutrition strategy but not have the mental muscle to consistently implement it.

I hope you'll join me!

Key terms:

Ketosis is a state of metabolic efficiency where you are able to burn stored energy in the form of body fat and ketones & not be dependent on regular high carbohydrate meals to sustain your energy, mood and cognitive focus.

Ketones are an energy source just like carbs, fat & protein are energy sources. Ketones can be used by your brain, your heart, and your muscles. Ketones are produced by the liver as a byproduct of fat metabolism.

Ketones produced under certain conditions:

  • blood sugar is low
  • insulin is low
  • muscle & liver glycogen stores are low

Today we have best selling author Mark Sisson on the show. Mark's book The Primal Blueprint was a game changer for me when I was initially adopting a primal way of eating. Today we're talking about his newest book, The Keto Reset Diet and how he thinks that phases of what I'll call "clean keto" are the next level of primal in terms of anti-aging, fat loss, performance, satiety & energy.

For an introduction to ketogenic diets, ketones and other general concepts, check out episode 387 of the podcast where I talk about this stuff from a high level to lay the foundation for today's episode.

For today, we're talking about why Mark considers keto phases the next level of primal, what kind of carb & protein limitations you'll need for success

Mark said a few super powerful things in the episode that I want to really highlight:

Building a fast metabolism as a health goal is completely flawed. Accelerated metabolic function accelerates again. 

Guys, it's not that we need faster metabolisms. It's quite the opposite. We need more efficient metabolisms and we can create that with our food choices.

He also said, "When I'm keto, I'm barely keto & when I'm not, I'm barely not". 

Do you know what that is? It's consistency. It's getting to a place where there aren't wild fluctuations in the quality & quantity of your diet. That's what we need to focus on more than an inconsistent extreme approach.

I strongly recommend you check out his  new book, The Keto Reset Diet & definitely take a listen to today's episode!

You can become a better fat burner. If you are overweight, if you have regular cravings or feel like you're hungry all the time, I'd bet that your body isn't very good at burning your stored body fat.

We can change that.

In today's episode we're talking about how you train your body to either be carbohydrate dependent or an efficient fat burner.

If your body can't efficiently access your stored fat as fuel, you'll have to eat more than someone who can efficiently access & burn fat. Plus, you'll be more hungry & have less energy.

We're going to address what ketosis is, what ketones are and how you can begin to train your body to become a better fat burner.

We're also chatting about an upcoming masters class on creating motivation & building consistency. Honestly, none of these nutritional strategies matter if you don't have the discipline to build the habit in the first place. I hope you'll join me! Here's the link to register:

Key terms from today's episode:

Ketosis is a state of metabolic efficiency where you are able to burn stored energy in the form of body fat and ketones & not be dependent on regular high carbohydrate meals to sustain your energy, mood and cognitive focus.

Ketones are an energy source just like carbs, fat & protein are energy sources. Ketones can be used by your brain, your heart, and your muscles. Ketones are produced by the liver as a byproduct of fat metabolism.

Ketones produced under certain conditions:

  • blood sugar is low
  • insulin is low
  • muscle & liver glycogen stores are low
