Let’s talk about something a lot of people get wrong.
Grace is not the same thing as giving yourself a pass. It’s not pretending the slip didn’t happen, and it’s not code for “oh well, I’ll try again tomorrow.”
In this episode, we’re breaking down the critical difference between giving yourself grace and letting yourself off the hook — and why that distinction might be the key to finally building the consistency you’ve been chasing.
I’m sharing personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and a simple way to move forward when things don’t go as planned — without spiraling, shaming, or slipping into all-or-nothing thinking.

We all have moments where everything feels hard—parenting, food choices, work, motivation. But what if the real problem isn’t the hard?
What if it’s the headline we keep writing about it?
In this episode, we’re talking about how your internal headlines, orientation, and daily anchors shape your progress—or your struggle.
Because it’s not just about effort. It’s about direction.
And if you’re not tethered to the right things, you will drift.
Why “this is hard” might be the most disempowering headline you can carry
How to reorient yourself toward the person you want to become (instead of defaulting to the person you’ve practiced being)
The powerful metaphor of the barn rope in a snowstorm—and why you need a tether too
How to rewrite your mental headlines to pursue results, not relief
If you always lead with “this sucks” or “this is hard,” you’re subconsciously anchoring yourself to the need for relief. That’s why you check out, scroll, snack, or quit. But hard doesn’t have to define your day—or your identity.
Most of us aren’t stuck—we’re just disoriented. We say we want change but keep facing the direction of comfort, distraction, or fear. Progress starts with a pivot. Reorientation is a practice—not a one-time fix.
Life is a blizzard. Without an intentional tether, you’ll get lost. Whether it’s a weekly check-in, a journaling habit, or a goal review—you need something to hold onto when you’re steps away from quitting.
“When hard is the headline, we start subconsciously looking for relief instead of results.”
“You don’t need to try harder. You need to reorient.”
“The tether keeps you from drifting when the storm rolls in.”

Episode Summary:
When it comes to fat loss, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to carbohydrates. In this episode, we dive into how to personalize your carbohydrate intake based on key factors such as your baseline diet, body composition, activity level, and even your unique blood sugar response. By understanding how your body processes carbs, you can fine-tune your intake for sustainable fat loss and optimal energy levels.
Before we get started, grab your copy of my new Fat Loss E-Book! Here's the link.
And, head over to my new YouTube channel to subscribe and turn on notifications before the new Carb Series kicks off next week.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔ How to assess your baseline carbohydrate intake before making adjustments
✔ Why muscle mass and body fat percentage impact carb tolerance
✔ The role of activity level in determining your optimal carb intake
✔ How health goals (fat loss, performance, hormone balance) influence carb strategy
✔ Why food sensitivities and individual blood sugar responses matter
✔ Practical strategies for tracking and adjusting your carb intake
1. Your Baseline – Where Are You Starting?
Before making changes, assess your current carbohydrate intake. Track what you eat for a few days and consider factors like:
Blood sugar response (using a glucometer or continuous glucose monitor)
Insulin sensitivity (fasting glucose, HbA1c levels)
Energy levels and hunger cues
💡 Example: If you currently eat 60% of your calories from carbs and experience energy crashes, adjusting your intake or choosing slower-digesting carbs may help.
2. Your Body Composition
Your muscle mass and body fat percentage influence how efficiently your body processes carbohydrates.
More muscle = better glucose storage and insulin sensitivity.
Higher body fat = reduced carbohydrate tolerance.
💡 Example: A lean individual (12% body fat) might benefit from higher carb intake to fuel workouts, while someone at 25% body fat may do better with a moderate approach, limiting carbs to post-workout meals.
3. Your Health Goals
Carbohydrate intake should align with your specific goals:
Fat Loss: Lower to moderate carb intake may enhance fat oxidation.
Performance & Recovery: Athletes or those with high-intensity workouts need sufficient carbs for energy.
Hormonal Balance: Women experiencing menstrual irregularities or menopause may need strategic carb inclusion to support hormone health.
💡 Example: A woman with hypothyroidism may benefit from including 100-150g of carbs per day to support metabolism and thyroid function.
4. Your Activity Level
Your carbohydrate needs should match your energy expenditure:
High-intensity training (CrossFit, HIIT, weightlifting) requires more carbs.
Low-intensity activities (walking, yoga) require fewer carbs.
Sedentary lifestyles benefit from a lower-carb approach.
💡 Example: A marathon runner training daily may need 200-300g of carbs per day, whereas someone with a desk job may thrive on 50-100g.
5. Your Food Sensitivity & Blood Sugar Response
Not all carbs affect people the same way. Some experience stable blood sugar after eating rice, while others see spikes and crashes.
💡 Example: Two people eat a banana:
Person A: Blood sugar rises slightly (85 mg/dL → 95 mg/dL) – can tolerate bananas well.
Person B: Blood sugar spikes significantly (85 mg/dL → 140 mg/dL) – may benefit from pairing the banana with protein or opting for lower-glycemic fruits like berries.
✅ Track your baseline intake
✅ Experiment with carbohydrate timing—many people do well eating carbs post-workout.
✅ Monitor blood sugar responses with a CGM or glucometer if needed. I've used Levels - you can check it out here
✅ Consider carb cycling—higher carbs on training days, lower on rest days.
✅ Pay attention to biofeedback—adjust based on energy, sleep, and cravings.

In this episode of the Primal Potential Podcast, we’re diving into three powerful but simple strategies to help you optimize your blood sugar, improve your insulin sensitivity, and increase your energy levels.

Did you know that getting direct sunlight within the first hour of waking helps reset your circadian rhythm, which plays a major role in blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity?
Pairing this with light movement (like a 10-minute walk or some gentle stretching) can improve how efficiently your body uses glucose before breakfast.
💡 Want to learn more?
Stay tuned for my upcoming Carb Series on YouTube (launching April 1st), and check out Episode 1200 of the Primal Potential Podcast for more deep dives on blood sugar optimization.
One of the most eye-opening things I’ve done for my health is using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). Seeing how things like poor sleep, stress, and even "healthy" foods impacted my blood sugar completely changed how I eat and manage my energy.
You don’t need one, but it can be a game-changer. You can also track your patterns with a glucometer and test strips or keep a journal of your energy, cravings, and mood swings for free.

🔍 Check out Episode 1073 for my deep dive on CGMs.
You don’t need to overthink this one. Just a few minutes of movement after eating can significantly reduce blood glucose spikes and improve insulin sensitivity.
✅ Take a 10-minute walk 🚶♂️ – Walking at an easy-to-moderate pace within 30 minutes of eating can reduce blood sugar spikes by up to 25%.
✅ Do 10-20 bodyweight squats 🏋️ – No time to walk? Squats or calf raises are just as effective.
✅ Use a standing desk 🖥️ – If walking or squats aren’t an option, just stand and shift your weight instead of sitting.
✅ Pace around your house 🚶♀️ – Walking inside for just 3 minutes can make a difference.

Breaking Through Self-Sabotage, Excuses, and Inconsistency to Finally See Results
Ever felt like you have all the information, yet you’re still not implementing? You’re not alone. I used to think more knowledge was the answer—I’d read every book, take every course, listen to every podcast, and yet… nothing changed. I stayed stuck in a cycle of inconsistency, self-doubt, and frustration. The harder I tried to find the “perfect” solution, the worse it got.
This isn’t about knowing what to do—it’s about actually doing it. Today, we’re breaking down exactly how to close the gap between knowing and doing so you can stop spinning your wheels and start seeing real results.
Which bank are you building? Are you investing in your excuses, or in your action? Let’s talk about how to make deposits into the right account.
Your struggle isn’t about discipline or motivation—it’s about how you think.
There’s a story about a gambling man who had two dogs he raced. With startling accuracy, he could always predict which dog would win. When he retired, someone asked him how he did it.
"Oh, that’s easy. I just alternated the feedings. Whichever dog I fed would win."
We all have two “dogs” in our minds:
Which one are you feeding?
Success isn’t a Hail Mary pass—it’s a game of inches.
Imagine if an athlete walked off the field every time they didn’t score. Ridiculous, right? But we do this in our own lives. We think if we can’t be perfect, it’s not worth trying.
But success isn’t about one big thing—it’s about small, consistent wins.
Trust isn’t built in one grand gesture. It’s built in small, consistent choices.
The story you tell yourself determines your choices.
If you keep saying, "I’m too tired, too stressed, too busy," that will always be true for you. But what if you shifted to data over drama?

Episode Overview:
Not all protein powders are created equal, and some can do more harm than good. In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into why protein matters, what to avoid in protein powders, and how to choose the best options for your health. I’ll also share my personal favorite brands (Fit20, Ballerina Farm, and FlavCity) and why I trust them. Plus, we’ll talk about how to fit in enough protein daily and what you can expect to feel when you do.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be using protein powder—or how to spot the junky ones—this episode is for you!
Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders—it’s essential for everyone. It plays a huge role in:
✔️ Muscle growth & repair (even if you don’t lift weights!)
✔️ Fat loss & metabolism (higher protein = fewer cravings)
✔️ Energy levels & blood sugar stability (no more crashes!)
✔️ Hormone production & immune function
✔️ Healthier skin, hair, and nails
If you’re not eating enough protein, you might experience:
❌ Constant hunger or cravings
❌ Fatigue or sluggishness
❌ Trouble building muscle or losing fat
❌ Hair thinning, brittle nails, or dull skin
❌ Poor workout recovery
So, how much protein do you need? Most people need more than they think. In my new fat loss e-book, I break down the recommendation of 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass.
Not all protein powders are created equal, and many on the market contain hidden sugars, artificial sweeteners, and low-quality protein sources. Here’s what to watch out for:
🚨 High Sugar Content – Some powders sneak in 10-20g of added sugar per scoop! This can spike insulin, increase cravings, and sabotage fat loss.
🚨 Artificial Sweeteners & Fillers – Sucralose, aspartame, and sugar alcohols like maltitol or sorbitol can cause bloating, cravings, and digestive distress.
🚨 Low-Quality Protein Sources – Soy protein isolate (often genetically modified), rice protein (high in heavy metals), and collagen-only powders (great for joints but not a complete protein for muscle building).
🚨 Heavy Metals & Contaminants – Some protein powders are not third-party tested and may contain lead, arsenic, or cadmium. Always check for NSF Certified, Informed Sport, or Clean Label Project Verified seals.
When shopping for a protein powder, look for:
✅ Minimal ingredients – Avoid long lists of unrecognizable additives.
✅ Grass-fed whey or organic plant-based protein – Better digestibility and nutrient quality.
✅ No artificial sweeteners or fillers – Monk fruit or stevia are better options.
✅ Third-party testing – To ensure purity and quality.
After testing so many brands, these are my go-to protein powders:
✨ Fit20 – Grass-fed whey, no artificial junk, supports gut health. (Use code BENTON to save $10 on your first order)
✨ Ballerina Farm – Clean, high-quality ingredients, no fillers.
✨ FlavCity Protein Powder – Transparent label, great taste, no artificial additives.
These options fuel your body without unnecessary fillers—which is why they’re my top picks!
Even if you don’t use protein powder, here are easy ways to increase your daily protein intake:
🥚 Start your day with protein – Eggs, Greek yogurt, or a protein smoothie.
🥩 Build your meals around protein – Think chicken, fish, steak, tofu, or cottage cheese.
🥜 Smart snacking – Jerky, boiled eggs, protein bars, or nuts.
💪 Use protein powders when needed – Great for busy mornings, post-workout, or travel.
When you increase your protein intake, you’ll likely notice:
✔️ More energy & stable blood sugar – No more crashes or mid-day slumps.
✔️ Fewer cravings & better appetite control – Protein keeps you fuller, longer.
✔️ Improved muscle tone & faster recovery – Especially if you strength train.
✔️ Easier fat loss & metabolism boost – Protein burns more calories during digestion.
✔️ Healthier hair, skin & nails – Stronger nails, thicker hair, and clearer skin.
✔️ Better sleep & mood stability – Protein helps produce serotonin & dopamine.
If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: not all protein powders are created equal. Look at the ingredients, choose wisely, and prioritize real food sources first.
If you’re using a protein powder, check your labels today—is it filled with sugar, artificial sweeteners, or low-quality protein? If so, it might be time for an upgrade!

It’s been a while since we’ve done a book club episode, and I’m excited to dive into The Inflammatory Reset by Dr. Josh Redd. This book is all about reducing chronic inflammation through diet, lifestyle changes, and functional medicine approaches. I’ve been following the protocol for at least 30 days - in the episode I'll share more about why.
📚 Buy the book 📚
Dr. Josh Redd is a chiropractic physician and functional medicine practitioner specializing in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, particularly thyroid disorders. His book explores:
Inflammation is a protective physiological response that alerts our immune system to threats, like viruses, environmental irritants, or cell damage. It’s designed to trigger pathways that combat harm. In the short term, this response is beneficial—think of a bee sting or a cut. However, when this pathway is repeatedly activated without an external threat (like an internal imbalance), it can lead to chronic inflammation, which is linked to nearly every chronic disease we know of.
If you’ve been experiencing any of these symptoms, chronic inflammation could be at play:
Dr. Redd breaks inflammation down into five key categories:
Chronic inflammation is often driven by imbalances in three key hormones:
Here’s what I’ve been focusing on:
Diet is one of the biggest levers in reducing inflammation, so I’ve made major shifts in my eating habits.
Here’s what the protocol recommends avoiding:
🚫 Anything you're sensitive to
🚫 Dairy, eggs, gluten, oats, tomatoes, dehydrated fruit, rice, corn, potatoes
🚫 Alcohol, coffee, tea, soda, fruit juice, table salt, sugar, artificial sweeteners
🚫 Soy, peanuts, beef, pork, shellfish, processed meats
Instead, the diet focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods:
✅ Chicken, turkey, lamb, fish (not shellfish)
✅ Quinoa, buckwheat, sweet potatoes, peas, beans
✅ Raw cashews, almonds, macadamias, walnuts etc
✅ Fresh fruits & vegetables
✅ Herbal tea, decaf green tea, unsweetened coconut or cashew milk
✅ Olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil
In this episode I'll discuss what I've been eating, non-dietary changes I've been making, what's hard and the mindset I'm bringing to the challenge as well as if I think you should consider it (or not).

For the longest time, I was chasing change but not true transformation, and my results showed it. I stayed in the struggle for decades.
So many of us find ourselves chasing the same goals for months—maybe even years—without ever feeling like we truly get there. But what if the issue isn’t a lack of effort, but rather the approach itself? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the crucial difference between change and transformation and why this distinction matters more than you might think. I’ll share my own personal experience of shifting from temporary change to deep, lasting transformation and how identity-based consistency plays a key role in making sustainable progress.
Plus, we’ll dive into the power of setting personal standards, why root work is essential for breaking free from old habits, and a simple but powerful mindset shift that can help you create real, lasting results. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of “starting over,” this episode is for you!

The truth is, you can’t create lasting results without doing the deep, root-level work. Whether you choose to go it alone, work with me, or find another resource, the key is to start—because transformation isn’t about chasing change, it’s about becoming the person who naturally creates the results you want.
