You're not lazy. You're not undisciplined. You're not broken. You're just fighting against your environment—and it's a losing battle. In this episode, Elizabeth gets real about the truth we all feel but rarely talk about: Your willpower will never beat your environment. From overflowing mudrooms to cluttered kitchen counters, chaotic homes create chaotic minds—and chaotic minds make impulsive decisions. Sound familiar? This episode dives into: Why your space might be silently sabotaging your progress How clutter triggers stress, reactivity, and that "I need a break" urge The common household patterns that wear down your willpower And most importantly—6 simple things you can do to make your environment support your goals, not destroy them You don't need a Pinterest-worthy house. You need a space that lets you breathe. You'll hear real-life, messy, relatable examples—like: Why there are 77 shoes in the mudroom (with only 5 people in the house) The Ninja Creamy that hasn't moved in months How to stop "moving" things and start putting them away If you've ever thought, "I know what to do, I'm just not doing it"—this episode will hit home. HARD. 🔑 In This Episode You'll Learn: The overlooked link between clutter and cravings The sneaky ways your space increases stress and sabotages progress 6 actionable, doable, non-overwhelming ways to reclaim peace in your environment

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?

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? Join me for IMPACT: Inflammation, starting January 5th.

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.

If you're routinely feeling overwhelmed, you can't skip this episode. In fact, you probably ought to share it with all your friends who relate to routine overwhelm? What if it's not so much that you're overwhelmed, but that you're being undisciplined, either with your focus, your time, your choices or your energy? I'm telling you - this is one to save and share because boy, does it change the game! 

Don't wait. Join me. This is a life-changing opportunity, and I say that with every ounce of seriousness that your life and your goals deserve! Secure Your Spot

"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? DM me on Instagram or tag me in your stories @elizabethbenton — I'd love to hear what this episode brought up for you.

A client recently said something that completely stopped me in my tracks: "My mindset determines the choices I'm going to make. Don't decide from a shitty mindset — otherwise, I've rigged the game against myself." Mic. Drop. It immediately made me reflect — how often do we do this? How often do we unconsciously (or consciously) make it harder to follow through, succeed, or feel good? In this episode, I'm sharing: What it actually means to rig the game against yourself How to recognize when you're doing it (with real client stories + examples) What it looks like to rig it in your favor instead The mindset shift from "positive" to helpful that changes everything A journaling prompt to help you create your own breakthrough today

You might feel fine. But chronic inflammation could still be running the show — silently disrupting your hormones, energy, digestion, mood, and metabolism. This episode pulls back the curtain on: Why chronic inflammation is the hidden driver behind so many frustrating symptoms (and major diseases) What you can measure — from blood to stool — to actually track it The difference between CRP and hs-CRP (and why it matters way more than you think) What your body fat, cortisol, gut health, and mitochondria have to do with inflammation And most importantly: what you can do this week to lower inflammation and feel better fast If you're tired of chasing symptoms — and ready to get to the root — this is for you. 🧬 Download the Free Inflammation Cheat Sheet → Click here to get your free guide Includes lab tests, symptoms to watch for, and practical action steps to reduce inflammation fast. 🔗 Resources Mentioned: 🔍 GI MAP Comprehensive Stool Test use code ELIZABETH to save 10% 🔴 Lumebox Red Light Therapy Device code ELIZABETHBENTON to save $250+ 🧠 Magnesium I Recommend  🐟 Omega-3 Supplement I Use & Love  🧪 Function Health for Comprehensive Blood Testing 🧠 What You'll Learn: Why chronic inflammation often has no symptoms — until a diagnosis shows up How inflammation fuels disease (heart, gut, brain, autoimmune, cancer, hormones) What calprotectin in your stool can reveal about your gut health Why CRP vs. hs-CRP isn't just a nerdy detail — it could change your course of action The role of excess body fat in triggering inflammation — and how to reverse it Red light therapy, stress, blood sugar, sleep, and more → 8 powerful inflammation-lowering levers 🎧 Listen now, then share it with someone who needs this info — especially if they've been feeling "off" and can't figure out why. 📝 Don't forget to grab your cheat sheet: 👉 Download the Inflammation Overview & Action Plan

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

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.

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?

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.

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.
