Why do we prioritize earning money careers over our health when we have the fundamental understanding that without our health

welcome back to the Primal Potential podcast I am Elizabeth Benton this is our

consistency 365 series mini episodes that air between our full-length Monday and Saturday

episodes so that we get better every single day

certainly don't have wealth and in a lot of cases you don't have happiness.

It's not to say that you can't have your health in jeopardy and be happy because of course you certainly can.

But why is it that so many people put their health on the back burner for the pursuit of money
