CONSISTENT by Primal Potential
Why are we so stressed & overwhelmed? Why do we have clear & compelling goals but fail to reach them? How can we want to change so desperately yet make choices that keep us from that change? Because we keep focusing on the habits we want instead of building the skill of consistency that allows us to achieve them. Consistency is a skill. It's a superpower. It isn't one-size-fits all. It unlocks any door and makes every goal achievable. A more effective, realistic approach starts here.

1373: If You're Irritable, Overwhelmed or Inconsistent - This Is Your Ted Talk
In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I didn’t fully realize was impacting me — and maybe it’s impacting you too. If you’ve been feeling irritated, overwhelmed, scattered, or like you know what to do but just can’t seem to follow through, this episode will shift something major for you. We’re talking about constant input — the slow, invisible overload that comes from podcasts, YouTube, group chats, Audible, social media… even the “positive” stuff like inspiration and education. Because here’s the truth: You’re not unmotivated. You’re overloaded. And the more you consume, the harder it becomes to follow through. We break down: Why information overload kills your clarity and consistency How this input creep drains not just your time, but your emotional energy Why follow-through feels harder than ever (and what to do about it) And how to create more space for peace, progress, and presence in your life This isn’t about deleting your apps or doing a digital detox. It’s about reclaiming your focus — so you can actually act on what you already know. 🎧 Listen now and give your brain the space it’s been craving. 🔥 Ready to reduce inflammation and lose weight without extremes? If this episode struck a chord — if you’re craving less noise and more results — I’d love to invite you to my upcoming 4-week Impact: Inflammation group. I’ll be pulling back the curtain on exactly what I’m doing to reduce inflammation and lose weight — simply, consistently, and with clarity. 💥 No fluff. 💥 No overload. 💥 Just real-life strategies, structure, and support. Doors are open now, and we’re starting soon.

1369: 6 Ways Inflammation Slows Weight Loss
f you're eating healthy, working out, doing “all the things,” but still feel like your weight isn’t budging — you have to hear this. In this episode, I’m walking you through one of the biggest (and most overlooked) blocks to weight loss: chronic, low-grade inflammation. We’re going beyond the basics. This isn’t just “sugar is inflammatory” or “cut processed food.” We’re talking about the cumulative, daily impact of everything from your toothpaste to your sleep schedule, your stress, your gut, your hormones, and more. 🔥 Here’s what we cover: What is inflammation — and what makes something inflammatory? How chronic inflammation blocks fat loss (even with a good diet and exercise!) Signs you’re inflamed (that have nothing to do with pain or swelling) How long it takes to see and feel results from lowering inflammation Subjective AND lab-based signs that you’re healing My personal anti-inflammatory strategies, from milling flour to fiber, sauna, and sleep What I’m not doing (like eliminating everything or living in fear) “We can’t eliminate every inflammatory trigger. But we can lighten the load and give our bodies a real shot at healing.” Ready to go deeper with me? 🗓️ Starts January 5th Inside this group, I’ll share: Anti-inflammatory recipes, food lists, and simple meal ideas A full lab testing guide + how to talk to your doctor so they’ll actually listen My real-time weight loss journey (what I eat, how I move, what’s working) Regular audio drops explaining key concepts in a simple, practical way Lifestyle strategies that go beyond food—sleep, toxins, stress & more You don’t need to overhaul everything. You just need to start somewhere that matters.

You need a space that lets you breathe.

1367: Two Important Health Changes I Just Made (And Why)
It’s easy to get caught up in all the health trends—saunas, red light therapy, cold plunges, expensive supplements—but at the end of the day, nothing will trump the basics. In this episode, I’m walking you through two lifestyle changes I’ve made recently that are supporting my health in a big way. One is a little “crunchy,” and one is super accessible. Neither replaces the big rocks of health (like reducing processed foods, stabilizing blood sugar, managing stress, and getting good sleep), but both have helped me reinforce the foundation. Here’s what we dive into: Why I started milling our own flour (and what you’re really getting in store-bought flour) What “bleached” flour actually means—and what that’s doing to your body What’s really in dough conditioners (and why you want to avoid them) How fresh-milled flour tastes better, saves money, and massively improves nutrient density The simple morning fiber drink I take with psyllium husk and citrus How fiber helps you detox and reduce inflammation Why detox pathways matter for fat loss, hormones, and inflammation And most importantly, how to stop chasing trends and come back to the daily practices that actually move the needle. ✨ Want to pursue weight loss by reducing inflammation in January? ! We’ll focus on: Simple changes that lower inflammation Meal ideas & recipes Supplement recommendations Education around detox, gut health, blood sugar & more 👉 🛒 Mentioned in this episode: 🌾 ⚙️ 🧃 💡 If you found this episode helpful, please share it with a friend, post it to your stories, or send me a DM!

1366: What I'm Eating/Changing For Weight Loss
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 you’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start? How do you even know if inflammation is a problem for you? 💥 Ready to take action in January?

1364: Avoidance Feels Safer. That’s the Lie
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.

1358: Why Discipline Feels Impossible (And What to Do About It)
“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 isn’t about going off the grid or giving up your phone. It’s about making discipline feel possible again—by making life just a little bit quieter. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Your brain highlights what gives you the most dopamine (this is called salience) Overstimulation rewires your motivation—it prioritizes scrolling over sleep, Netflix over goals The solution isn’t “more willpower”—it’s less noise You can rewire your salience network with small, doable changes: Less screen time More walks and movement (without your phone) More whole foods, less ultra-processed stuff Reducing high-dopamine distractions (yes, even the “harmless” ones) 🛠️ Challenge for Today: Ask yourself: What got my attention today? What felt most important? Did it reflect the life I’m trying to build? If not—good news. You can change what your brain highlights, one small shift at a time.

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 when life gets loud. 💥 Episodes on All or Nothing Episode 1257 Episode 1250 Episode 1057 Episode 495 Episode 034 🎧 Listen If You’re Struggling With: The all-or-nothing mindset Staying on track during the holidays Feeling like “you know what to do” but still not doing it Letting one indulgence spiral into a week of disengagement 💬 Let’s Keep the Conversation Going: What does “the middle” look like for you right now?

1354: If You’re Always Last on Your List…
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. 🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: What CrossFit taught me about power and strength — and how it applies to your life The lie behind “I don’t have time for myself” What happens when you serve from depletion vs. strength A new way to think about self-care (that’s not bubble baths and yoga pants) What I learned during one of the hardest seasons of my life — and how I show up differently now

1352: When Trying Doesn’t Work: The Real Reason You Stay Stuck
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. 💥 Ready to break the cycle and rebuild from a place of strength? The 8-week DEFENSE program is where we change your operating system — so you stop defaulting to what’s familiar and start acting from clarity, strength, and self-trust. 🛡️ .

1351: The Real Problem Isn’t the One You’re Focused On
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 👉🏼 This is exactly the kind of work we do in DEFENSE. Applications just opened to the waitlist. Spots are extremely limited - only 20 are available. We spend 8 weeks together, and you’ll leave with a 50+ page custom strategy guide tailored to you. No templates. No one-size-fits-all. Just transformation, built around your life.

1350: You Asked For It - Faith, Fear & Family
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.

1349: PCOS Underlying Causes and Critical Info to Know
🧠 Episode Summary: If you’ve been told that PCOS is all about insulin resistance and high testosterone, you’ve only been told part of the story. In this episode, we’re digging into the hormonal chain reaction that causes those symptoms—starting with unopposed estrogen, low progesterone, and disrupted thyroid function. You’ll learn: Why estrogen isn’t the enemy (and when it is) How estrogen increases free fatty acids and triggers insulin resistance The overlooked connection between thyroid, cortisol, and your cycle What to do if you can’t get the right labs from your doctor What tests actually give you answers—not more questions How to support your hormones without crash dieting or chasing carbs around My go-to tools, supplements, and strategies for PCOS, hormone repair, and metabolic balance This episode is both dense and actionable—bookmark it, take notes, and share it with someone who’s tired of being told to just “cut carbs” and “lose weight.” 🧰 RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED: 🛡️ DEFENSE Waitlist (September Cohort) Coming soon: The next round of DEFENSE. I'll only be working with 20 people and we will co-create your defensive playbook! 💡 LUMEBOX Red Light Therapy Red and near-infrared light therapy can support thyroid health by energizing mitochondria, reducing inflammation, and even lowering thyroid antibodies. I use it daily over my thyroid. Use code elizabethbenton to save big time and use your FSA/HSA! 🧬 My Favorite B-Complex Supplement B-vitamins (especially B1, B3, B6, B12, and folate) are essential for hormone metabolism, stress resilience, thyroid function, and glucose control. Look for methylated forms (like methylfolate and methylcobalamin) and avoid synthetic folic acid.

1347: The Whole Truth (and Nothing But the Truth)
We’re quick to spot the truth in other people’s choices: “If he would just manage his time better…” “If she’d finish one thing before starting the next…” But when it comes to our own patterns? The truth feels harder to see — and even harder to admit. In this episode, I’m digging into the critical practice of telling yourself the truth — the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Because the stories we tell ourselves don’t have to be true to shape our lives. They just have to go unopposed. You’ll hear: Why it’s easier to analyze their problems than to face our own How “permissive phrases” like “I’ll start tomorrow” or “I need this to take the edge off” quietly run the show A client story that shows exactly how to challenge vague justifications and uncover the truth The difference between evaluation (judging yourself) and coaching (creating a way forward) A simple 3-step challenge to practice radical honesty and break free from excuses and procrastination If you’ve ever wondered why you keep starting over, why you feel stuck in cycles of “I’ll do better tomorrow,” or why it’s so much easier to see solutions for other people than for yourself — this episode will be a game-changer. ✨ Your breakthrough is on the other side of one question: “What’s the truth here?”

The Red Pen: Why Your Plans Always Fall Apart You’ve been here before: the shiny new plan, the clean fridge, the big motivation… and then life gets lifey. Pizza at the work meeting, a missed workout, one “I already blew it” moment — and suddenly the whole thing unravels. It’s not that your plan was bad. It’s that your plan had no defense. In this episode, I pull out my imaginary red pen and circle the exact spots where most plans are doomed to fall apart — and why you don’t need a stricter plan, you need a defensive strategy. Here’s what you’ll learn: The three biggest “red circles” that sabotage your progress every time Why chasing a perfect 9 or 10 keeps you stuck at zero How Defense gives you a playbook for the moments when life gets messy If you’re tired of doing and undoing the same work, it’s time for a different approach. 👉 Our next Defense cohort opens soon.
