| 06 Nov 2024 | There are no new ideas | 00:33:05 | |
I was standing at the Mr. Olympia bodybuilding competition in Las Vegas with my buddy Kris Gethin last month, looking at all the exhibitor promising things like DNA testing and weight loss pills... When I was suddenly reminded of something I heard years ago: That there are no new ideas. Despite endless rounds of "promising new" gimmicks that want you to believe you can pop a pill or get a shot and melt away the fat in six seconds, there's no getting around your body's need for real food, water, and sleep for lasting weight loss and optimal wellness. Real food, water, and sleep are what we've needed for all of humanity's existence. It's the proper human diet. It's what we're designed for. It's NOT new! And even high-quality supplements like the kind Code Red offers don't change that. Do I think high-quality supplements have value? Absolutely, to a point. Do I think you can out-supplement a bad diet? Absolutely NOT. And to say otherwise is pretty insulting to Rebels like Lory Stobart, who lost 205 pounds in 18 months. Lory didn't lose all that weight because she took Code Red D3. She lost all that weight and is keeping it off because she did the work. Same for Andrea Dell, who lost 28 pounds in less than two months with Code Red and has kept it off for over seven years and counting. She's maintained for so long because she's doing the work, not because she's taking Code Red Magnesium. So despite what the latest gimmicky promises provoke you into believing...despite a fresh round of claims about yet another magic pill that's supposed to "help with weight loss"... Ain't nobody getting out of eating real food, drinking enough water, and getting enough sleep for safe, optimal weight loss and lasting optimal wellness. Before the siren's song of yet ANOTHER gimmick calls you away from the proper human diet, tune into this episode to learn all about why there are no new ideas when it comes to weight loss. Then use what you learn to protect yourself from gimmicks like hype-y magic pills, expensive shots that force your body to gobble up your muscle tissue like Miss Pac-Man, and "specialty" processed diet foods dripping with more chemicals than the cleaning products aisle at Walmart.

| 04 Jan 2023 | HOW TO FIND A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER | 00:27:59 | |
If you've ever wondered how to find a health care provider who will support your Code Red Lifestyle™, this is the podcast for you. My sister, Cari, has a master’s degree in nursing education and has taught at nursing school. She's also worked as a nurse for decades. All that means she's been around a lot of primary care providers. Some she liked working with, and some she didn't, because some acted like dictators instead of doctors. Look, your doctor isn't your dictator. Your doctor is a partner in your health journey. If they're not acting like it, that's a red flag. Plus, though I’m a big believer in the medical establishment for many reasons, weight loss is not one of them! The majority of health care providers today are overweight and metabolically sick. When an overweight, sick physician tells YOU how to lose weight, while also questioning and criticizing your lifestyle of real food, water, and sleep, again, it's probably time for a different primary care provider. Tune into this week’s podcast to hear both why you should shop around for a healthcare provider, what to look for, what to avoid, and how to research which provider will work best for you.

| 12 May 2021 | Losing The Weight For The Second Time | 00:51:16 | |
After losing 55 pounds back in 2016 and helping me take Code Red global, you'd think Natasha Hazlett would have no problem losing the weight after her twins were born, right? I mean, after all, no one knows the program better than her! So then why did it take her 2 years to lose her weight? And why did it finally "stick" when before it didn't?

| 17 Mar 2021 | Can You Cheat On CODE RED? | 00:43:41 | |
I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me this. Can you cheat on Code Red? Because all the other weight loss programs let you cheat! So what's the big deal, right? Well, the reasons might shock you! Even though all other programs allow cheat meals or cheat foods, Code Red doesn't do this. We don't believe in cheat meals because it is not worth it. People never make any progress with this type of mindset and behavior. The stakes are too high to have a cheat meal or, God forbid, a cheat day. We are dealing with people who are metabolically sick, people with type 2 diabetes, people who have failed on all other weight loss programs, or are just on the verge of a life-altering disease. This is about our health, we can't afford to not be serious about it by having cheat foods and cheat meals attitude. The major problem with cheat foods and the weight loss programs that have them is that they don't address the sugar addiction crisis that we have as a people. The heart of the problem with weight is sugar addiction, and having cheat foods doesn't help at all. That's why we don't do it at Code Red. Click Play and hear the reasons we don't do cheat meals at Code Red and how to get back on track if you have already cheated. Key Takeaways

| 31 Mar 2021 | Do It Now! | 00:28:43 | |
So many times, we put things off. We say, "oh, I'll get to it tomorrow or Monday or next month..." But the days slip into years, and you'll find that you've run outta time. Don't let this happen to you. It's crazy how time flies by, especially as we get older. The question that you should constantly ask yourself is, are you showing up for yourself and doing the things you consider important, or are you continuously putting things off and saying to yourself that you'll do them some other time? We are all guilty of making promises to ourselves and postponing things we want to do. That is dangerous because before you know it, time is gone, life happens, and we are left with regrets. You need to understand that the days are passing by, and sooner than you realize, they'll turn into years. And the one thing you can't do is blame anyone but yourself for not doing the things you always wanted. You can't blame your kids, and neither can you blame your other obligations. If something is important to you, you have got to find time to do it. Click Play to get some inspiration on how to show up for yourself, do the things you have always wanted to do, and live your best life. Key Takeaways

| 17 Aug 2022 | She Was Over 400 Pounds | 00:25:00 | |
Are you ready for an incredible message of hope and healing? If you have ever struggled with your weight get ready to hear a success story from one of our Code Red Rebels, Christine. Christine has struggled with her weight her entire life and before she started down the journey of healing she weighed herself at 418 pounds and was truly afraid of the scale and miserable in her life. Everything was hard, just trying to do simple things that many people are able to do with no problems was hard. Walking a block was hard, rolling over in bed was hard, literally everything was hard. As of recording this podcast Christine has lost over 125 pounds since joining the Code Red community. She has family that are big but this is no longer an excuse. She has had health issues due to her weight but this is no longer an excuse. People might think it is tough to be on Code Red food plan but the truth is being overweight is what is restrictive. A fun question that was asked was in this episode was "how did you even find Code Red?" Christine's answer is was better and more detailed when you watch or listen to this episode but the very short version of this was an Instagram post from her friend. Talk about the right timing or being in the right place or having the belief that god is there to provide the moment that you need the answer. Real food, water, sleep and prayer are the main reasons that Christine was able to do what she has be able to do so far in her weight loss journey and she's not done yet. She has beat her original goal and now she has new goals. Hope and healing in abundance. Listen in to Christine's story and if you know someone that might need to hear this please share this episode with them right away! ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 24 Jul 2024 | WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU QUIT SUGAR? | 00:25:51 | |
Most people agree that sugar tastes good. Yet most people don't know that "tasty sugar" is also a chronic, dose-dependent hepatotoxin. Put another way, sugar is a liver toxin when you eat too much too often. There's a safe threshold for sugar, just like there's a safe threshold for arsenic. But most people in today's society eat WAAAAY above that safe threshold. That's why, in this week's new podcast, I'm gonna tell you what happens when you STOP eating sugar. So if you're eating sugar and you also struggle with:
Then tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle to learn what happens when you get off the sugar. It might be exactly what you need to finally free yourself from sugar's choke hold on your health. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 03 Feb 2021 | Why Do People Gain Back Their Weight? | 00:40:06 | |
I don't want to talk about this. But it's the elephant in the room. So why do people gain back their weight after leaving the Code Red community? Let's have a heart to heart and learn where they went wrong and how you can prevent this from happening to you. Today we are talking about what many people in the weight loss industry avoid talking about. It is clear to everybody that people gain back their weight after leaving the program that helped them lose weight. Code Red is no different; most of our certified coaches and leaders have unfortunately regained some weight or all of it after they left the community. Does this indicate a failure of the Code Red program? Absolutely not; as much as it's baffling why people would go through the weight loss process only to regain back their weight, we have found the reasons why this happens. In this episode, we share these reasons so that we can prepare you not to repeat them. We want to set you up for success when you get to maintenance. We want to teach you how to live life after weight loss without gaining any of it back. Listen in as I take you through all the reasons why people gain back their weight and how you can avoid this happening to you. Key Takeaways

| 05 Apr 2023 | HOW EXERCISE MESSES WITH YOUR HEAD | 00:32:03 | |
My sister Cari knows a lady who walks 10 to 15 miles a day for her job...and still has a weight problem. She's in weight loss mode, which is awesome, but even with all that walking for her job, she decided to add in workouts. Not surprisingly (to me), adding workouts to her routine messed with her head and disrupted her weight loss progress. I bring it up because I decided to do this podcast episode on how exercise messes with your head...not only to keep reminding people that you cannot out-train a bad diet, but also to clear up a little confusion I'm seeing about my bodybuilding comeback journey (which is still going on at the time of this episode). An example: some guy recently saw my Instagram posts about working out and showing my bodybuilding progress. So he asked me if Code Red’s message has changed from where it started out: real food, water, and sleep, no exercise needed. He also kinda freaked out about me "killing myself in the gym," and asked if that's what HE has to do now in order to do Code Red. NO, it is not! As I've said a million times for the past 11 years, exercise is not a way to address a weight problem. I am exercising like a madwoman because I'm training for a bodybuilding comeback on April 30, 2023. I'm on a completely different path from the one you're on with Code Red. Please understand that Code Red does not hate exercise. We only say you cannot out-train a bad diet, which is 100% true, and that it's easier and WAY less overwhelming to focus on your nutrition to get your weight off (especially if you're too unhealthy to safely exercise). You can lose all the weight you want through real food, water, and sleep with Code Red, look great, fit into your clothes, feel good about yourself, and regain your health. You DO NOT need to do what I’m doing to succeed with Code Red, because my goal - to complete in bodybuilding again - is TOTALLY different. If you're at ALL confused about exercise and whether you need it to lose weight or succeed with Code Red, tune into this week’s episode to see how the topic of exercise can mess with your head (especially during your weight loss journey). Let me untangle the confusion you may be feeling about WEIGHT LOSS through nutrition vs. exercising for FITNESS. ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 24 Aug 2022 | The Safety of the Barn | 00:28:45 | |
Up until recently, my sister, Cari, had THREE peacocks. One was a strong male, and he knew how evenings worked on the Thompson farm. He knew to go into the barn at night, because the barn kept him safe from from bobcats, coyotes, and other predators. But one night a few weeks ago, for whatever reason, he chose not to come back to the barn. Cari and her husband found him the next day, dead. If he'd only come back to the safety of the barn, he’d still be with the other birds on Cari's farm. It's a painful but powerful lesson about the power of staying connected to what keeps you safe. Case in point: Over and over, even the strongest, most certain Rebels who disconnect from Code Red gain back some, or even all of their weight. It's not because they're weak or lazy. It's not because they don't mean it when they say, "I am NEVER gaining my weight back again." It's because they leave "the safety of the barn," so to speak, and find themselves alone in the mainstream world...which is dedicated to crap health and crap food. And sooner or later, it takes them out, in the form of weight regain. But unlike with Cari's peacock, this situation doesn't have to be permanent. And it MOST definitely can be prevented. Tune into this week's new podcast to hear exactly how!

| 16 Oct 2024 | Pay down your ignorance | 00:40:24 | |
When you, me - anyone - goes into a new venture of any kind... Whether it's weight loss, building your own business, getting married, having kids... We tend to be pretty ignorant about what it's ACTUALLY gonna take to be successful. We think we know, but usually, we don't. Not really. In some cases, our ignorance comes from a lack of knowledge. In other cases, we do have some knowledge, but the knowledge doesn't prepare us for the EXPERIENCE of doing what it takes to succeed. Either way, our ignorance catches up with us, and we take a step back and go, "Woa, there is WAY more to this than I expected." A while back, I heard about this concept called paying down your ignorance. Basically, it's four steps you need to take to go from ignorant about how to be successful to actually BEING successful. Whatever your goals are in your health, wealth, or relationships, check out this episode to learn these four keys to success used by people who hit their goals (including in weight loss).

| 19 Jul 2023 | What's wrong with being OBSESSED? | 00:34:31 | |
When someone says to you, “You need to stop being so obsessed with your health,” you probably take it as an insult, right? "Obsession" has such a negative connotation that someone calling you obsessed about anything supposedly isn't "nice." But consider which is worse...to be obsessed with exercise and bodybuilding, or obsessed with drugs and alcohol? (We don't exercise for weight loss on Code Red, but you get my point.) Or how about this one...when you go on vacation, you can be obsessed about eating as much unhealthy food as you can get your hands on, or obsessed with healthy choices, getting your water in, and sleeping. And Katie bar the door if you choose real food, water, and sleep over "wine-thirty" and enough dessert to feed an entire small town! Suddenly you’re “obsessed” with your health and “no fun!” If someone's called you "obsessed" - and meant it as an insult - with your Code Red Lifestyle™, I recorded this episode for you. I have a totally different outlook on what it means to be obsessed, and in this week’s podcast, I call it all out in all its forms to help you see this “insult” differently. ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 26 Oct 2022 | Do Yourself a Favor and Forgive | 00:34:31 | |
I really like listening to Joyce Meyer. If you know any of her story, you know she experienced childhood incest for 15 years at the hands of her own biological father. Yet she was, eventually, able to forgive him. (It doesn't make what he did okay, it just means she decided to stop letting what happened make her miserable.) Cari and I suffered abuse in childhood (not from our parents - it was someone else), and I was physically, verbally, and emotionally abused by my first husband. We've both had other rotten things happen in our lives, too. But eventually we learned that harboring the bitterness of unforgiveness in your body and soul is actually a sort of trap, in that it damages YOU, not the person who hurt you. We've forgiven the people who abused us, because it made us sick not to, same as Joyce Meyer. So what does all this have to do with losing weight and keeping it off? Simple. After nearly 30 years in this industry, I've learned time and time again that a lot of people who battle obesity are holding the weight because they're also holding guilt, shame and unforgiveness in their lives. That's why, in this week's new podcast, Cari and I are revealing how forgiveness helps you stay on track in your Code Red journey. If you harbor ANY unforgiveness, whether it's toward someone else, or even yourself, make sure you catch this one. It might be what finally unlocks your success.

| 23 Nov 2022 | BACK TO BASICS - 10 RULES TO WEIGHT LOSS | 00:26:15 | |
On the Code Red Lifestyle™, we follow 10 non-negotiable rules to help us consistently lose weight. People who aren't ready to be successful try and argue with me about these rules, as if I randomly pulled them out of my makeup bag, or made them up just for kicks. They're in place because, after being in the health and fitness industry for over 28 years, and coaching people in Code Red weight loss for over 10 years, I've seen what works and what doesn't. These rules come from my personal experience coaching tens of thousands of people on how to lose weight. The Code Red rules to consistent weight loss are what they are for ONE reason... To get your weight off as quickly AND safely as possible. (Same with the Code Red foods list, which I talked about in a previous podcast episode.) Ain't nobody wanna lose weight forever, and odds are that if you're reading this, you've spent decades trying to lose weight and keep it off. Tune into this week's new episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle to hear about the 10 Code Red rules to consistent weight loss, and how and why each one helps you get the weight off as soon as possible, so they can help you be DONE losing weight!

| 14 Dec 2022 | Our Personal Survival Holiday Tips | 00:33:59 | |
Christmas is my favorite time of year. I put up Christmas decorations earlier than almost anyone I know. I love the presents, the trees, the snow, the music, the lights, and the birth of Jesus. Why I don't love is how much attention FOOD gets. No, I'm not against having food during holiday celebrations. But look at the state of our country's health, and it's clear that we emphasize food way more than is good for us. Instead of thriving during the holidays, we're often just trying to survive them. And that can feel even more true when you're on a weight loss journey. What do you do if people drop sweets off at the office to thank you for all the great work you do? How do you respond without feeling rude? Or how about if you get invited to a friend’s Christmas party, and there's an entire table full of off-plan food? What then? In this week's new podcast, Cari and I are gonna help you with these situations and more, by sharing what we personally do to survive the holidays. See, even though we’ve been in maintenance a long time, there are things we still struggle with that you might struggle with, too. So tune in to get our personal holiday tips that will prepare you to make good decisions, help you stay on track, and ensure your holiday celebrations are enjoyable WITHOUT derailing your weight loss journey.

| 02 Mar 2022 | Warning Your Future Self | 00:32:45 | |
The Past is for learning the things we can do differently at Present so that we can create a Future worth looking forward to. If you're like most people, there are probably a few things you'd change if you could go back in time and be healthier. But how many of those things have you actually changed? Maybe none? That's because today is the only day that matters when it comes to your health. The fact is that tomorrow may never come. Today is the only day we can change our lives, and the first step starts with understanding the values you can learn from yesterday. What got you fat? What triggered your hypertension? What led to your type 2 diabetes? More Importantly, what can you do differently NOW, in order to get to the future you WANT to enjoy? Forgive us for assuming but…a lot of you might be saying, “I know what I need to do”. In truth, you might have known for a while now, the things you SHOULD DO, so what’s the hold up? Are you still lacking critical information you need to come up with a healthy diet? You’re unsure of what REAL food are? Or maybe you just haven’t bought into the whole “Future Starts Today” mindset? Regardless of your health and weight loss concerns, let’s talk about them and figure out what you need to achieve the healthy body that you’re looking for! While not everything about weight loss is easy, and there will always be obstacles we’ll face in pursuit of a healthier life, with our help, there’s no reason YOU can’t start TODAY! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about making better choices by having a “Prevention Mindset”, and starting today the changes you want to see tomorrow. --------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 07 Aug 2024 | The DANGERS of ALL or NOTHING | 00:29:35 | |
Picture this. You're following the program and doing well. Then you make a bad choice and set yourself back. And instead of getting right back on track, you abandon the program entirely...because if you can't do it perfectly, you aren't gonna do it at all. I see this mindset in a lot of people. It's called the all or nothing mindset, and it is NOT your friend. Case in point: This week's podcast guest, Lory Stobart, lost 205 pounds in 18 months on the Code Red Lifestyle™... Which she NEVER would have done if she'd given in to the all or nothing mindset. If you beat yourself up and quit when you make a mistake or a bad decision, tune into this episode and hear why leaving behind the "all or nothing mindset" is your ticket to FINALLY getting and keeping the weight off. ---- https://coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 12 Jul 2023 | CARI'S HORRIFIC WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY STORY | 00:39:00 | |
If you’re old school Code Red, you know the horrific story of my sister Cari's failed weight loss surgery. If you’re new to Code Red, buckle up for this one. Weight loss surgery is something that's pushed by the medical establishment (even though it's completely unnecessary to lose weight). People desperate to lose weight often see it as their "last hope" (even though it's not). If you're considering weight loss surgery instead of just living the Code Red Lifestyle™, make sure you check out this podcast episode first. If you've already had weight loss surgery, this episode will help you understand how and why YOU can still be successful with the Code Red Lifestyle™, even if you've gained back weight post-surgery (or still have more to lose). ---- Weightloss Surgery Survivors https://go.coderedlifestyle.com/wlssurvivorsguide ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 10 Feb 2021 | Is It Okay To Be FAT If You're FIT? | 00:29:12 | |
Are you throwing up a 195 overhead jerk but asking for the seatbelt extender on the plane? I've been saying this for years, but finally, a new study was released to back me up on if it is okay to be fat as long as you're fit. One cannot be fat but healthy. This is according to new research by the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The negative effects of excess body fat on heart health cannot be mitigated by leading an active lifestyle. The idea that people who are fat and fit are healthy is simply a myth that has been busted by this new study. We have known this at Code Red all along, and I have said numerous times that exercise doesn't have anything to do with fat loss. Exercise has a ton of benefits, but weight loss isn't one of them. The number one biggest lie in weight loss is that you can exercise your weight off. It doesn't matter how much you bench press, run, or ride a bike. It doesn't matter how fit you are; if you are overweight, you need to lose that fat. And the answer lies in real food, water, and sleep. Are you in any doubt whether Fat but Fit is healthy? Tune in to this episode to learn why this is a myth and how we can help you lose that weight at Code Red. Key Takeaways

| 13 Nov 2024 | Never Getting Off This Train | 00:33:35 | |
If you've seen the second Hunger Games movie - Catching Fire - you know that Katniss and Peeta, two of the main characters, are touring the districts by train after winning the 74th annual Hunger Games, as is custom for the winner to do. Things go badly in District 11, when Katniss accidentally provokes the crowd into doing something that gets one of them killed by Capital Peacekeepers. Completely freaked out, Katniss cries to Haymitch, hers and Peeta's mentor, about how to just get through the end of the tour so they can go home. "Wake up, girl," Haymitch says, snapping his fingers. "This trip doesn't end. You ain't EVER getting off this train!" The concept of never getting off the train is pretty terrifying in those circumstances! But when you look at it from a different perspective, it’s actually a powerful way to think about your health journey, and here’s why. One reason SO many people gain back weight is because they keep "getting off the train." Put another way, they think they can skip doing the exact things that work to get and keep the weight off! I call it the diet mentality, and it's only gonna ever lead to frustration and failure. Unlike the train in the Hunger Games, you actually want all the incredible things that come with staying on the real food, water, and sleep train to get and KEEP your weight off! Listen, there IS a way to stay on the train and love it. In this week's new podcast, I'll explain why you ain't ever getting off this train...and how and why that's actually a great thing!

| 13 Apr 2022 | Not Everyone Wants Your Help | 00:35:01 | |
People may not respond to one truth but may respond to another. Put a frog in a steel pot with cool water and it’s going to stay there, almost still. Place the pot over the stove and turn up the heat. Seeing the frog’s predicament, you know it’s going to need your help, but that frog’s not going to try to get itself out until the water heats up to an uncomfortable temperature. Isn’t that how it is with most people? We can see they're in dire need of losing excess weight, but until they start feeling the need to help themselves, they’re not going to want help. No matter what you say, even the truth about obesity, if people choose not to hear you out, there’s just no convincing them! We’re not asking you to give up on your loved ones, rather, we’re asking you to acknowledge that there are other truths that may garner positive responses… Like the truth about needing time and space to figure things out for themselves. Or the truth that there’s someone else better suited to help them. And so, we offer them these! In the meantime, we keep sowing seeds of truth that we pray will grow into realizations, until they blossom into actions toward taking their lives back! While you’re at it, why don’t you expand your garden and sow more seeds in other places, in other people. They’re not all going to blossom all at the same time, so focus your efforts on buds that have opened up and are now willing to accept your help, so that they can start towards the healthy life they ought to have! Some of you have taken your sweet time but… Are you finally ready to take your life back? Let’s talk about it and get you that healthy body you deserve! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about speaking the truth about health and weight loss, and helping those who choose to help themselves take their lives back! ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.

| 01 Sep 2021 | 4 Mainstream Lies Keeping You Fat | 00:25:20 | |
Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle we are discussing 4 mainstream lies keeping you obese, or fat or overweight. Whatever you want to call it we are going through 4 of those lies today. Lie #1 - "Well it's just I can't lose that baby weight" - If you just had a baby you do not need to be back to your normal weight immediately after you have a child but at some point it is time to get moving and get that weight off. Lie #2 - "Weight gain is a part of getting older and there's nothing you can do about it" - Age is just a number. It doesn't have to be an issue and in Code Red we have had over 60,000 people achieve their goals and it all has nothing to do with age. We have so many examples of proving this within Code Red. Lie #3 - "Well, you're overweight because that's just how you're built" - I know there is frame size, small, medium, and large frame size for people but a bigger frame does not mean you should be overweight. Lie #4 - "Your obesity is genetic. You'll always be fat" - Genetics do play a role in your health and where fat might go but again. You are not fat because of genetics. You are not obese because of genetics. You have to make a choice to working differently than those genetically related to you. This was a fun one and I hope you all get a message that resonates with you and then make a change to not go with the mainstream lies!

| 11 Aug 2021 | Normalizing Weight Loss Anxiety | 00:30:38 | |
Today's topic we are super excited to discuss. We're talking about normalizing weight loss anxiety. Cristy had a true confession... People have lost different types and different amounts of weight with the Code Red Lifestyle. It's just that everybody's got the weight loss anxiety, but Cristy didn't even really know this was a problem until Carrie really started paying attention to the Code Red community and saw people were struggling with it. What are some of the reasons that anxiety would happen? Big event and clothes not fitting? Really hungry and your traveling? Doing activities that takes you off your normal schedule? Afraid what someone will think if you do not eat that food that someone offers you in a social situation? Tune in and find out that you are not alone and we have ways to get through it!

| 09 Feb 2022 | 3 Things I Would Tell My Teenage Self | 00:36:50 | |
“I should’ve known better.” The most common line that usually precedes a statement of regret, precedes submission to a past fault – that which most people fixate on as they succumb to the belief that “now, it’s too late”. If you knew back then what you know now, would that have made difference? Would you be healthy right now if you knew about the consequences of substance abuse and poor eating habits? Would you have done things differently and focused on a healthy lifestyle? It’s easy to say, “Yes, things would be better today”; nonetheless, we’ll never really know, right? Because those “ifs” are merely vestiges of the past and there’s no turning back time. And so, what of our new realizations? What of the knowledge we possess right now? Are they for naught, because there’re no do-overs? In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about the things we’d like our younger selves to know, not for the sake of past but for posterity. We take the learnings from past struggles, apply them to our present lives, so that we may move forward with the prospect of living better lives in the future. That’s the key: Moving forward and to a direction of “Better”. Our failures then should not mark the end for us… Poor choices and the consequences they entail should be the starting point from which we make an awesome COMEBACK – because now, we’re better equipped, we’re better suited to take our lives back… “We know better NOW!” Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about lessons we’ve learned that we want our present selves to leverage towards a better and healthier future! --------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 03 Aug 2022 | She Beat Cancer | 00:34:43 | |
Anyone can lose weight! But can you keep it off? Hear how this Rebel and business owner kept her weight off even during vacations, and in the face of travel, stress, and life. Marley Jaxx, our guest in this episode, is a YouTube Agency that works with entrepreneurs and influencers to create their video content on YouTube. Marley got on to Code Red and lost 20 pounds. She stayed Code Red through the holidays and through travelling which was almost every week. What we get to know during the course of the interview with her on the podcast is that she has found travelling to have made her more conscious of choices that gel with her decision to go Code Red.
Wait a second these words were the ones written back in 2019 when Marley first joined the show.
You can watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09QdWugr83w
And everything above is still true today but unfortunately, we have a more serious subject to discuss that has happened in Marley’s journey through life.
This interview you get to hear the story of Marley’s diagnosis and the challenging decisions she had to make to fight against the cancer.
One incredible thing we get to hear is Marley didn't cope by eating, which she felt that before going through the Code Red programs she could have been using food as a coping mechanism. But surprisingly, it wasn't in this case.
Because she knew the importance of health and nutrition. For this new diagnosis, she didn't even think about going to sugar or carbs or anything like that for comfort food.
Marley continues with her story and the choices she was going to have to make and while this is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE, Marley choose to avoid surgery and work to understand the root cause.
She decided to be smart with her sleep, her water, and her food.
And she worked to really figure out why her body had created an environment to get cancer and how she could create a new environment that her body could work to heal itself.
Stay tuned for inspiration. Stay tuned to hear what is possible. ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 12 Apr 2023 | CLEAR OVER CLEVER | 00:20:32 | |
One of the biggest mistakes humans make is muddying the waters by making stuff more complicated than it needs to be. A few people have even wanted a refund for the 10 Pound Takedown over the years because they "don't believe it can be that simple." So a program where you have to stand on your head, cluck like a chicken for six and a half seconds, drink lemon water at 6 AM, 9 AM, 4 PM, and 7 PM, snort pepper up your nose, have "fruit days," and hang tinsel off your left ear while farting "makes sense"... But real food, water, sleep, and a few simple rules are "too simple?" Sheesh. (The same people who say real food, water, and sleep are too simple are usually fine buying another magic pill or powder.) It's really a shame that so many people want things to be complicated and confusing, because there are plenty of programs out there happy to make weight loss so complicated that you'll never stick with it. Then they can tell you it's YOUR fault you failed. Yes, you have a part to play in your success. No one can do the work for you, and I don't accept bull crap excuses about why you "can't" do your part. That still doesn't make it okay for the diet industry to either make weight loss sound as easy as taking a magic pill (it's not), OR as complicated as waxing your right nostril while standing on one foot and drinking a green smoothie while you dream of rainbows and unicorn farts. Bottom line: if you feel like a deer in the headlights when it comes to SIMPLE, effective weight loss, tune into this episode and learn why the clarity and simplicity of Code Red can finally bring the weight loss success you want. ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 04 Oct 2023 | The MISSING component! | 01:19:13 | |
In this week's podcast episode, Brad and I are sharing how The SHIFT can help you create the life of your dreams (including a healthy body). You've heard me talk about The SHIFT, a new company I co-founded with Brad Pickett. The SHIFT focuses on mind, body, AND spirit, so for a lot of people, it's the missing component they need to be successful (including in weight loss). What I didn't realize for a long time is that for a surprising number of people, just the THOUGHT of success can be daunting. It might be success at weight loss, financial success, relationship success - pretty much anything. For some, it’s a self-worth issue. They don't believe they deserve success. For others, the success they want is so different from anything they've ever known that they don't believe it's possible. Whatever the reason, it makes it challenging to set and pursue goals because you keep thinking, "What if I'm not successful?" Or worse, "What if I AM successful? What will I have to give up?" Listen, you deserve a great life. Heck, I'd even go so far as to say you're obligated to go out and make a great life, so you can be the most AND best for all the people relying on you. For help with that and a lot more, tune into this episode for the missing component to achieving the life of your dreams. ---- Become a Shift VIP: https://21dayshift.com/vip ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 23 Mar 2022 | Out With The Old | 00:39:41 | |
Achieving good health starts with creating space where there was none before. We’re talking about understanding that our reality involves Mutually Exclusive Events – things that cannot coexist at the same TIME and SPACE! For example…you can’t be running and walking at the same time. You can’t be turning left and right, or moving forward and backwards at the same time. People can argue that it’s a matter of perspective. But from your viewpoint – the perspective that matters most in YOUR life – which direction are you headed and how fast are you going? There’re tons of mutually exclusive events in our lives, an important one being: you CAN’T be unhealthy AND healthy at the same time! For one to exist, the other has GOT to GO! Simply put… When it comes to health and weight loss, we have to let go of some things – food, clothes, habits, and even people – in order to accommodate the “NEW YOU” that you desire. You want… To lose weight? Say goodbye to old eating habits that got you fat. A healthy body? Bid farewell to sugar, junk/processed foods, alcohol, and other toxic substances. To focus on the future? Get rid of your “FAT Pants” that keep dragging you towards the past. A more positive outlook on life? Hasta la vista to negative self-talk and people who keep pulling you down. Instead… Say hello to good eating habits, real food, water and sleep, a better tomorrow, and confidence that resonates with like-minded people! Set yourself up for success! It all comes down to making the tough choices. Don’t be afraid to rid yourself of what society says you “need”. Keep only what makes you truly happy and those that serve your purpose: Achieving the healthy life that you deserve!

| 09 Nov 2022 | What Will Your Legacy Be | 00:24:20 | |
After my sister, Cari, saw someone die in the ER recently, she said to me, “It’s shocking that something SO devastating can happen, and yet the world just keeps on turning.” And she's right. People die every day, yet the world keeps going. Hearing Cari talk about this got me thinking about what my legacy will be. Will it be a headline that says, “Cristy 'Code Red' Nickel killed in car crash on Highway 55," and then that's it? Will it be something to do with my bestselling book, The Code Red Revolution, and how it's helped hundreds of thousands of people take their lives back? Something to do with my boxing career? And how about you? Have you thought about what YOUR legacy will be? If your family has a history of poor health, could the example YOU set by living the Code Red Lifestyle™ be passed on and affect the health and hopes of future generations? Or maybe you'll be the member of your family who breaks the generational cycle of poverty, or even abuse, and leaves your family (including future generations) better than it was when you were born into it. Whether or not you've thought about it, tune into this week’s podcast to explore what legacy you're gonna leave that could impact generations of people, even long after you're gone. Hearing about it might just be the kick in the pants you need to keep fighting for your health.

| 20 Jul 2022 | Controlling For The Variables | 00:30:36 | |
You'll never get the weight off if you can't manage your impulses in the moment. I get it. You're at a party and everyone's eating "what they want, when they want." You feel like you're missing out because you aren't eating the same thing at the same time as other people at the party. But by showing restraint in that moment, you're also moving closer to your goal of getting this freaking weight off. Remember that the ability to delay gratification is a trait successful people share, and just because you feel an impulse to eat something in the moment doesn't mean you have to act on it. There will always be another pizza, another bottle of wine, another can of soda, and another bag of chips. You've had them before, you know what they taste like, and they've done you no favors. So control the variables, control the food in your house, control the situations you put yourself in. Find a way to not be in the situation that could lead to a bad decision for your health and your weight. Not every single variable is under your control, but many variables are. Control the ones you can control, and create an environment for success. Tune in to this week's episode for more tips on controlling the variables for LONG-TERM weight loss success! ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 21 Jun 2023 | Code Red VS Beachbody | 00:30:46 | |
This episode is the second in our series comparing Code Red with mainstream programs/options that claim to help you lose weight. For this episode, it’s Code Red vs. Beachbody! Tune in to hear what Beachbody does well, and where they fall short if you're looking to get AND keep your weight off. I'll also tell you the truth about their "coaches" (who I'm sure mean well, but there's more to being a coach than most people realize). You’ll learn how Code Red is different from Beachbody; plus, if you've ever tried Beachbody and it didn't work as well as you hoped, you'll learn a lot about why that is! ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 08 Feb 2023 | A MOMENT ON THE LIPS, FOREVER ON THE HIPS! | 00:41:16 | |
The old wives tale that says “a moment on the lips, forever on the hips” is more than a tale for people who cheat JUST ONCE on Code Red. When cheating is on your mind, your brain thinks, “This ain’t no big deal. It’s just a little bit.” The consequences may not even cross your mind... At least, until you find yourself struggling to reverse them. Years ago, when Code Red was REALLY new, I used to let my clients have one cheat a week. But I got so frustrated seeing them regain all the weight they lost that I removed cheats from weight loss mode. One cheat sets you back a week, and ain't nobody got time (or willpower) for that. To find out exactly why and how one cheat sets you back a week (including some numbers that really bring it home), tune into this week's new podcast episode. If you're thinking of cheating, or already ARE cheating, this podcast may be exactly what you need to get (or stay) on track.

| 04 Sep 2024 | ONE DAY, YOU WON'T HAVE THE CHANCE | 00:28:44 | |
Last month, I took Hazel to detection training school in Canada. I did it because Hazel is a working dog. A Belgian Malinois. Belgians are the most agile, heroic, and (potentially) lethal dog breed on the planet. That's why law enforcement agencies use them as detection and apprehension dogs. Hazel was too small and too sweet to officially work for law enforcement, which is one reason I decided to adopt her. But she's still a Malinois, and she's not built to be a family pet... Which is why I signed us up for detection training school...so I better understood how to give her what SHE needs, as a Malinois. The detection class itself was really fun, but going to Canada was an expensive, exhausting pain in the butt in pretty much every way. Seriously, there were plenty of reasons NOT to go...like the money (I spent thousands of dollars on the class, the travel, and the Airbnb I stayed at), like being gone from home for too long, and like having to get up at 4 AM to get my work done before the class started. But I did it all anyway, and even though it really kicked my butt, I'm SO glad I did it. Why? Because I might not get the chance again. What if the training company shuts down? What if the world situation changed, and I couldn't fly to Canada? What if my schedule got even fuller, and it got even MORE inconvenient to make the time? I get how easy it is to justify postponing stuff because you assume you'll get another chance. But as I share in this week podcast episode, one day you WON'T have the chance. Tomorrow is not promised. And if you keep waiting for "one day," you may "one day" yourself into missing out entirely...including the chance to be healthy, slim, and strong. Tune into this episode for motivation to clean up your health NOW, while you still can.\ ---- https://coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 08 Jun 2022 | Taking A Break From Caring | 00:35:49 | |
With your mind sitting helplessly on the gutter, you’ve already lost the war. We’re not just talking about the war against obesity, but also all other conflicts we face in our day to day lives! Think about all the times you’ve raised two middle fingers to the world and said, “screw it”! (You probably said something worse!) It wasn’t the end of the world because here you are, reading this post and looking for a way out. And yet for a single moment that lasted far longer than you desired, you decided everything was futile. Why is that? What’s truly going on?! Our theory? Maybe you didn’t agree with what you HAD TO DO. Possibly, you didn’t like how you were told to do something. Or perhaps you feared that in the course of taking necessary action, you’d miss out on other “opportunities”. And so, you opted to not give a rat’s ass about the demands of society and of life, and decided to do things YOUR WAY – regardless if it’s the right or wrong way. Only you get to decide and figure out the root cause of your suffering… However, we’ll be darned before we let you waste your life away on something we can alleviate by helping you form the right mindset you need to live the life you desire! We understand what it means to take a break from caring... BUT more so, what it means to take your health and life back from what ails us. Let’s talk about the different ways we can bring back that GENUINE CARE you have for your dreams of living a full and HAPPY LIFE made possible with a HEALTHY MIND and BODY! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about why you take breaks from caring and how you can condition the mind to keep going towards the healthy body you truly desire! ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.

| 22 Dec 2021 | Who are you glorifying with your lifestyle? | 00:26:25 | |
2 things are most likely to happen when you put a person under the lens. Either they fake it or they show you the truth. But no matter which path they take, they’ll be glorifying something. Why is this relevant? In a world where the internet is far reaching and cameras are in everyone’s pockets, dashboards, head gears, offices and homes, there’s always someone watching. At any given time, the human population can share and consume countless information. And when there’s that much information going around, it becomes harder to discern truths from lies. Information, regardless of whether it’s true or not, is powerful. When we cannot discern one from the other, we become vulnerable to the influence of things that shouldn’t be glorified, and instead should be criticized, denounced or even condemned for the harm they may deal to people. You think telling people that junk food has no ill effects to the human body and is therefore “okay” to consume should be glorified? Masked as a mere “opinion”, things like these are destructive information! And should you be vilifying someone who is “against” your perception of beauty because s/he believes that genes and age shouldn’t justify obesity? These are just some contributors to the plague that is obesity. When people glorify the wrong things about health, unknowingly or deliberately, they empower obesity and the complications that come with. In this regard, we invite you to consider the messages you’re putting on social media. What message are you sharing with the world? Whom or what are you glorifying with your lifestyle? Under the lense, we are all contributors. It’s up to us to decide whether we contribute to the demise or the proliferation of good values, good conduct, good lifestyle, and of good health. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about being aware of the message you spread, discerning truths on social media, and contributing to good health by glorifying a healthy lifestyle. ------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 27 Apr 2022 | Everyone Leaves Their Mark | 00:26:29 | |
In the grander scheme of things, we’re all uniquely gifted to serve a purpose – the best way we can positively impact others! Basically, everything on earth (even the most mundane of things, like a rock or a shrub) was made to serve a purpose. We are no exception to this! Some are called to become world-class performers and entertainers, teachers and coaches, or entrepreneurs and inventors. For others, it’s simpler (but NOT less important) like being a parent, a son or daughter, or a friend. Each of our unique purposes are meant to contribute to a higher purpose: for all life to thrive and prosper! In finding that purpose, you stand to gain the LIFE YOU TRULY DESIRE! In CodeRed, we’re fortunate enough to be able to serve our communities as teachers who educate others about living a healthy lifestyle, and as warriors fighting against the plague that is obesity (and all diseases it entails). Full disclosure!!! None of us here knew exactly, from the very beginning, what our TRUE PURPOSE was. We had to discover, learn, forget and relearn the things that make CodeRed a successful and worthwhile way of living. In fact, we’re still looking for ways (Big AND Small) to improve the healthy lifestyle that we know and love today, so that we can continue serving our communities better, faster, stronger! This is what it means to design and create our legacy, our way of denting the world! This is how we get to enjoy happy and fulfilled lives! What about you? What’ve you been up to lately? How have you been making progress towards being a blessing to others? Let’s talk about the things you can do to live the healthy, bountiful and purposeful life of your own design! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about proactively designing and creating your own legacy. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas. Please come join me.

| 07 Feb 2024 | Don't Sleep One More Night with the Frogs | 00:32:01 | |
The Book of Exodus in the Bible tells the story of how God used Moses to free the Israelites from centuries of enslavement in Egypt. Egypt's ruler, Pharaoh, refused to let God's people go, so God sent plagues into Egypt. The second of those plagues was frogs. EVERYWHERE. Frogs in their houses, in their bedrooms, in their beds, in their servant's houses, and even ON the Egyptians and their servants! Can you imagine? (I can't imagine touching one frog, much less having wall-to-wall frogs in my house, in my bed, and hopping all over me!) But this is the part of the story that always gets me. When Moses went to Pharaoh and asked him when he should remove the frogs, you know what Pharaoh said? "Tomorrow." Uh…what??? WHY would Pharaoh want his people to spend even one more night with the frogs? It seems weird, but how often in life do we wait around in rotten situations, like Pharaoh did with the frogs, instead of starting NOW? If you still haven't taken your life back with Code Red...or you're figuratively "sleeping with the frogs" in some other part of your life... Listen to this episode for help putting an end to "sleeping with the frogs." ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Get your bluelight blockers from Swanwick, just head over to coderedlifestyle.com/swannies rebel15 for 15% off ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 24 Nov 2021 | Don't Sell Your Tomorrow For A Quick Today! | 00:25:50 | |
Cut a growing plant today and you’ll miss out on the fruits and the tree. Wasn’t easy planting the seed and waiting for it to rise from the ground, right? You spent time and energy getting it to where it’s at but now you’re willing to chop it down before it has the chance to bear fruit? Who invests a large sum into financial instruments only to cash out for 10 cents on the dollar because they need money for a Steve Madden sale? Who spends time and energy to build a beautiful relationship only to throw it away for a fling following a petty quarrel? Who bothers to lose weight only to start gaining ‘em back because pizza night with the gang is just once a month? Who? Sadly, a lot of us do. Because a lot of us are impatient, lack the discipline, and are fearfully living with a scarcity mindset. Many of us settle for quick feel-good moments today because the future is all but certain. Well, here’s a bit of truth for all of us… Our dreams and goals ARE reachable and they are not simply subject to luck. With patience, discipline, and an abundance mindset supporting our hard work, we CAN achieve the life that we deserve! We’re worth more than a few boots and pennies. We deserve true love and happiness. We’re meant to enjoy life beyond just a slice of pizza. Stay committed to your goals! Consider that your hard work today is worth tenfold tomorrow. Believe that you are deserving of the life you dream of. Have faith! Don’t sell your tomorrow for a quick today. —— -------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 25 Jan 2023 | LOSING SIGHT OF WHAT WORKS | 00:36:03 | |
The human brain is pretty fascinating. It's wired to both be wary of new things, and yet be excited by them. The human mind also loves to improve things in order to save us time and energy, and give us a survival advantage. The problem is that sometimes our desire for the dopamine hit we get from "new and exciting" causes us to lose touch with what's actually working... And in a lot of cases, overcomplicate the crap out of something that isn't complicated. I mean, how much simpler can it be than real food, water, and sleep? Here's an example of what I mean. A former Rebel who left the community posted pictures on social networks of what she was eating.There were many "foods" that we on Code Red call workarounds, like "keto bread," "keto cupcakes," and "keto snacks." After only three months, this lady gained back a lot of the weight she'd lost on Code Red. After another three months, she'd gained back all of it or more... Not because the program doesn't work, but because she stopped following it. She lost sight of what works, and for whatever reason, didn't want to see it again. To make sure you don't fall into this trap (or that you escape if you already have fallen in), check out this week’s new podcast to discover how and why simple basics are the answer to getting and keeping your weight off and living a healthy lifestyle, regardless of whether your brain wants to squirrel after the latest magic gimmick... Because if there's "magic" to be had, it comes from following the simple basics that work, and NOT from another pill, patch, or powder.

| 18 Sep 2024 | from a Man's Perspective with Jeff Later | 00:48:41 | |
In this week's new podcast episode, I'm joined by a special guest to talk about something I don't often talk about on Code Red: Men. My guest's name is Jeff Later, and I've known him for years. He's a pro body builder, fitness coach, and lifestyle coach. To look at him, you'd likely assume that he only works with bodybuilders. But the reality is, he works mostly with men and women over forty, with sixty-five percent of his clients being female (because women, in general, are more open to receiving instruction than are men). Jeff and I have talked before about the state of our country's health, and Jeff recently shared a thoroughly researched (and scary) statistic with me: The fathers of today's men had more testosterone than today's men do; and their grandfathers had even more. In fact, society-wide, we've seen severe declines in testosterone and other hormones (in both men and women). Women have testosterone, too, and in both men and women, it influences muscle mass, longevity, mood, libido, and MORE (when it's present in the proper amounts for each gender). After hearing about this from Jeff, I invited him onto this podcast episode to talk about men. Yes, ninety-three percent of Code Red's clients are female... But if that's you, you also interact with men and have them in your life. Maybe there are even men in your life who aren't very healthy, and you wish you knew how to reach them. If so, be sure you tune into this week's podcast episode, where Jeff and I will talk about society's view of men, women's interactions with and attitude towards them and how it affects their hormones, plus hormones in general and MUCH more. Listen to this episode to get a unique perspective that will help you AND may help you help the men in your life reclaim their health. Plus, you're gonna hear a ton of health and wellness facts you won't hear in the mainstream medical world or your Facebook news feed.

| 20 Dec 2023 | The FIGHT gets HARDER | 00:33:14 | |
In this episode we’re talking about yo-yo dieting. My mom said something funny but true about losing weight: The more you yo-yo, the harder the "yo" gets. In other words, the more your weight bounces up, the harder it is to get it back down. I'm not trying to discourage you if you've fallen off the wagon. I get it and Code Red is here for you! What I'm saying is that yo-yoing brings physical and psychological problems that get worse the more you do it. To be clear, that doesn't mean all hope is lost. It DOES mean that you can make things easier on yourself by stopping the yo-yo NOW. In this episode I'll dive into yo-yoing and how you can put a stop to it. Some of what I say is gonna surprise you. (The Cristy of six years ago would NEVER have said it!)

| 28 Jun 2023 | Code Red vs PHEN-FEN | 00:33:00 | |
In this episode Cari and I continue our series comparing Code Red to different weight loss methods by tackling the diet pill Phen Fen. In case you’re not familiar with it, the PHEN in Phen Fen stands for phentermine, while the FEN stands for fenfluramine. It's a combination of two substances in one pill. So how does Phen Fen work? Why was it so popular in its heyday? And, most importantly, what are the side effects of using a pill to try and control your weight? Cari and I are covering all that and more in this episode. After hearing this episode, you might just decide that relying on pills to manage your weight ain't all it's cracked up to be. And, just like with our other episodes in this series, we're not holding back our opinions, but we're also bringing you the facts, so you can decide for yourself.

| 14 Sep 2022 | STOP WHINING! | 00:31:37 | |
One of my favorite stories from the Bible is about a guy who spent 38 years trying to get healed. Along with a lot of other people who were sick or crippled, he'd lie next to the pool of Bethesda every day, waiting for a supposed angel of the Lord to come and move the water. The legend was that whoever first crawled into the water while it was moving got healed. When Jesus arrived at the pool, he caught this guy whining for someone to help him crawl in. Jesus asked him if he’d like to be healed, and the man whined, “I have no one to put me in the pool!” But Jesus didn't let this guy get away with whining. He told him to pick up his bed and walk...and the guy did. If you want to get the weight off, keep it off, and feel better, whining and excuses won't help you get there, anymore than they helped this guy from the Bible get healed. So, for a kick in the pants to knock off the whining and excuses and do what it takes to get and keep your weight off (so you don't spend 38 years - or another 38 years - working on it), check out this week's new episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 07 Jun 2023 | IS OFFENSE HOLDING YOU BACK? | 00:40:49 | |
One of the worst crimes in today's "social media" society can be summed up in one word: Disagreement. Seriously, someone not agreeing with your personal opinion is grounds for an online mob attack these days. Someone accidentally puts an angry face instead of a heart on your post, and it ruins your day. As if that wasn't bad enough, more and more people are getting SO offended that they sabotage their own lives. For example, people have actually left Code Red, regained their weight, and got sick again because Cari or I said something they didn't agree with. Put another way: getting offended caused them to retreat into emotional protection and HURT THEIR BODY AND MIND themselves by returning to foods and habits that packed the weight back on and fed their pain and disease. Is it REALLY worth getting SO offended that you can't even function? That you wallow in blame and self-pity for years? What kind of a life is that? And what are you missing out on because you refuse to navigate life without hiding in a cave every time someone disagrees with you? Wherever you fall on the "get offended" spectrum, this podcast episode will help you see what a waste of time and energy it is to get so offended that you actually blow up your goals and your life...especially because doing that hurts YOU most of all. ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 18 May 2022 | The Shocking Results of Getting Organized | 00:36:26 | |
Did you know that most stress you incur is caused by one specific stress you have to proactively get rid of? You probably have been so stressed about not having enough time to rest and do the things you love doing, like spending time with your family, taking art classes, going on vacations, getting your hair and nails done, or reading your favorite books. That stress can easily branch out to so much more! With so “little time” on your hands to get your job done, you tend to render overtime at the office. That leads to not getting enough sleep. That causes you to get moody and have unwarranted spats with your spouse. Stress from that brings you to poor eating habits that lead to obesity and diseases that bring…you get the point. Before you conclude that TIME is the problem… You need to know that other people have the same 24 hours on their hands and have similar responsibilities to yours, yet they manage to stay on top of stress! And the secret to that may just be right under your nose! Getting rid of the root cause of your stress – the “lack of time” – is getting organized! If there’s one thing we can promise… This episode will take away the stress of having to figure out on your own the skills and strategies you need to organize your life – where achieving the healthy mind and body you desire is NOT something you need to be stressed about. Let’s talk about the ways you can destress and declutter your life, garner the willingness and drive to overcome the demands of everyday life, among other results and benefits of getting organized!

| 11 Jan 2023 | 10 STUPID THINGS PEOPLE SAY TO YOU WHILE LOSING WEIGHT | 00:30:01 | |
Over the past 28 years of being in this industry, I’ve heard people say pretty stupid things to people on a weight loss journey. Something that REALLY helps is to just expect that someone, at some point, will say some, most, or even ALL of these 10 things. Even people who care about you and support you may still say them! In this week's new podcast episode, I'm gonna break down these 10 stupid things people say, so you can be prepared for them, instead of caught off guard and second-guessing your decision to get the weight off for good. You’re not alone in facing these stupid comments and questions, so don’t face them alone. Instead, tune into this week’s podcast episode to hear all 10 things, count how many of them you've heard over the years, and learn why people say this stuff to you.

| 28 Apr 2021 | Instagram Q & A | 00:33:41 | |
It's time for an AMA (ask me anything) where Instagram fans and followers sent in a dozen questions, and you get raw, real, honest, unrehearsed response from me! I love these, so I hope you love them, too. Every once in a while, we do one of these Q&As and give our listeners and fans the opportunity to ask me any question they have about anything. So, thank you to all those who sent in their questions. The questions are quite interesting, as you'd expect from Rebels and also from other people keen on the Code Red community. The topics range from my mohawk to my dream vacation, carnivore and vegan lifestyles, goal setting and staying motivated, and much more. It's always fun to get these questions and answer them, so I hope you learn something about the Code Red Lifestyle from them and my candid answers. Listen in and enjoy! Key Takeaways

| 31 Jan 2024 | No, weight loss is NOT all MENTAL! | 00:30:50 | |
Almost every day, I hear someone say something that just isn't true: "Weight loss is all mental." If weight loss was ALL mental, you could sit around and think your way to goal weight (without having to address what you're doing that's causing your weight problem in the first place). Does mindset have a place? Oh, absolutely! The right mindset makes everything easier. But weight loss is not "all" mental. That's like saying getting your car out of the garage and into the grocery store parking lot is ALL mental. Unless you're telekinetic, no, it isn't! 😂 In this episode, I'm debunking the myth that weight loss is "all mental." If you struggle with mindset while losing weight, tune in, because what I have to say will help. If you don't struggle with mindset while losing weight, also tune in and see if what I say in this episode is why you don't struggle with mindset. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 01 Dec 2021 | Forgetting How Good It Feels | 00:30:51 | |
The sun, moon and stars will align for you to shed the weight. But the problem is how often we need them to align because we keep regaining our weight. Yep! Weight loss isn’t the problem. It’s weight regain that’s plaguing our nation. It happens to the best of us! Even coaches, trainers, dieticians, among other health professionals are susceptible to gaining back weight! Often, people become too familiar with having achieved goal weight and they can’t fathom how anything might change that state. They start forgetting to take measurements needed for managing their weight. They become careless and expose themselves to the contagion that is obesity. Others are simply burnt out from the “grind”. Ultimately, people regain weight because they forget or take for granted the great feeling of being healthy and at goal weight. To a lot of us, gathering the strength and courage to persevere towards losing weight takes so much energy. It’s almost always hard at the beginning! The problem becomes apparent when people have to start from square one. Fortunately, something else becomes apparent: importance of having the proper mindset to maintain goal weight. So, what’s the secret? How is documenting and remembering the feeling of being healthy key to fighting the weight regain issue? What else can we do to keep ourselves from succumbing to this plague? Let’s talk about how you can continue enjoying the healthy life that you’ve worked so hard to achieve! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about best practices for keeping the weight off and remembering how good it feels to be healthy and at goal weight. -------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 15 Feb 2023 | THE FEAR OF BEING CANCELLED | 00:28:52 | |
A while back, my sister, Cari, posted something slightly political on her Facebook news feed, mainly because it was a play on words to do with her husband's name, and she thought it was funny. Someone read it, got upset and messaged me to say, “Cristy, I’m done with Code Red!” Cari's post had nothing to do with Code Red, or even weight loss. Yet because she happens to be my sister, they decided to have a mad fit over it, unfollow ME, and abandon their Code Red journey. This person's behavior reminded me how, as a society, we've gotten SO touchy. Heaven forbid you tell the truth about something uncomfortable, like the FACT that obesity is NOT healthy. What has the world come to when doctors can't even warn you about the health risks associated with obesity because someone's gonna get offended? What's next? They can't talk to you about diabetes, cancer, or fibromyalgia, because someone who can't handle the truth decides it's "prejudiced" somehow to talk about diseases? Cancel culture is out of control. And the people in your day to day life may decide to "cancel" you or their association with you in some way just because you're daring to take your life back. I sure hope it doesn't come to THAT. Yet at the rate things are going, you've gotta be prepared for it. For help understanding how to deal with it if the people in your life don’t like you losing weight and getting healthy, tune into this week's new podcast episode to hear why being healthy matters more than being cancelled.

| 03 Mar 2021 | Hitting Hard Ground Vs. Hitting CONCRETE! | 00:30:44 | |
Hitting the hard ground hurts. You're gonna be bruised, broken, and busted up. But hitting concrete is a career-ender, a deal-breaker, and you'll probably die. So many people think that the mistakes they make are career-enders (like hitting concrete). But I encourage you to reconsider; get up, dust yourself off and go again instead of giving up. What has happened to you is not a deal-breaker, it’s all the way you choose to look at it. So many people think they've hit concrete if they gain their weight back. They think they will never come back from it. There's nothing in weight loss or in Code Red that is a deal-breaker. It might be embarrassing, but spending the rest of your life overweight just because you are embarrassed doesn't make any sense. You can come back from it if you just took the next small step forward. Whatever happened is in the past. All you need to is identify what went wrong, learn from your mistakes, and move forward in a different direction. Is there anything in your life you think you can't come back from? Have you gained back all the weight you lost and are now stuck? Tune in to this episode to learn how to get up, dust yourself, and take the next small step forward. Key Takeaways

| 28 Feb 2024 | BUT IT'S JUST THIS ONCE | 00:41:15 | |
When I first started Code Red fourteen years ago, people lost weight much more slowly, and that's for two reasons:
I come from a bodybuilding background, and one cheat meal a week is what bodybuilders often do. But many average Americans don't work out consistently (or at all), and most are metabolically broken. (More importantly, you cannot out-train a bad diet, no matter how much you exercise.) What I eventually figured out is that a healthy, super fit bodybuilder eating one cheat meal a week is a completely different situation than an obese grandmother who can't get out of her recliner without help eating one cheat meal a week. It also became crystal clear that cheat meals led my clients to take one step forward and TWO steps back. Plus, once they started cheating, they couldn't contain it to just one meal. It turned into going off the rails completely. In this week’s new podcast, I’ll reveal how cheat meals really affect you, including what they actually do to you and how they impede your progress. (There's more to it than you probably realize.) If you struggle with the "but it's just this once" mindset when it comes to cheats, tune in for an eye-opening episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 17 Apr 2024 | YOU STOPPED DOING WHAT WAS WORKING | 00:30:04 | |
There's no shortage of ways to lose weight. You can lose weight with the lemon and cayenne pepper diet, the cabbage soup diet, or with Noom, Weight Watchers, Atkins, Ozempic, gastric surgery, and a million more. Losing weight isn't the hard part. It's keeping it off that most people struggle with, which is why I say we don’t have a weight loss problem in this country, we have a weight regain problem. Back in January, I did a workshop called Throwing It All Away, where I talked about my biggest battle ever with weight regain. It happened for one simple reason: I stopped doing what was working. The REASONS I stopped are relatable, but for this conversation, they're beside the point. The point is that when you stop doing what's working, you lose the result. If you stop showering, you stop staying clean. If you stop putting fuel in your car, it stops running. And if you stop doing what worked to get your weight off, you gain it back. That's why gimmicks like Ozempic, and drastic measures like gastric surgery, are so dangerous. How many times can you safely do them? How far can they really get you? In this podcast episode, I'm going deep into why the sneaky, toxic mindset of "it's working, so I can stop doing it" is SO harmful and frustrating in all areas of your life, including your weight loss.

| 11 Oct 2023 | Fight the Demons | 00:26:38 | |
I am always raw and unfiltered with you, and this week’s podcast episode is no exception. I'm getting vulnerable and letting it all hang out as I face and fight some demons. If you're fighting demons, too, tune in and hear my story. Maybe it'll give you some hope, some comfort, some courage, and especially, a reminder that you are not alone in struggling against darkness. Not everyone's gonna love my use of the word demons, and that's okay. If you don't, you probably also won't like me saying that the spiritual realm is even more real than the physical realm. (It’s hard for us to wrap our heads around that. I get it.) Either way, join me for this episode as I share the lessons I've learned from digging into the darkness to face and fight the demons so I can heal...including how you can apply what I've learned to YOUR battles against darkness. ---- Time to make a shift: https://21dayshift.com ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 30 Nov 2022 | Code Red vs. Keto | 00:30:41 | |
A LOT of people ask me about the difference between Code Red and keto. "It sounds like keto without cheese and peanut butter!" is a remark I get sometimes. Code Red and keto have some similarities - both are a high-fat, low-carb way of eating, for example - but the differences go beyond cheese and peanut butter. To hear these differences for yourself - and understand how to explain them to Code Red skeptics in your life who dismiss Code Red and keto as the same thing - check out this week's new podcast episode. You'll not only discover the differences between Code Red and keto, you'll also hear why Code Red Rebels succeed where keto fails, and why you can trust Code Red over keto.

| 20 Jan 2021 | Don't STOP After Reaching Your GOAL | 00:22:03 | |
It sounds silly, but a lot of people STOP once they reach their goal. You can't stop, and you can't go back to the old ways that got you into this mess, to begin with. But you can pivot, shift and move into a new phase. We have noticed that many people stop doing what they did to reach their goal, they just stop and become lazy. We don't want you to do this, we want you to reach your goal and stay there. What you did to reach your goal, you got to keep doing it. Pivoting to your new phase once you reach your goal requires a change of plan and a shift in mindset, but you have to stay committed every day for the rest of your life. You ain't never going back to your old ways. At Code Red, we are playing the long game. Hitting your weight loss goal is just one piece of the puzzle. Once you get there, we shift and pivot into the maintenance program because we believe that America doesn't have a weight loss problem, but a weight regain problem. Listen in and learn more about pivoting to your new phase once you reach your goal and how we can help you here at Code Red! Key Takeaways

| 15 Sep 2021 | Maybe The Problem is You! | 00:27:50 | |
This conversation may not be universally agreed upon. Maybe a few of you take offense to this topic. I believe it is too important to not talk about this. No more victims here in Code Red. Let's stop and think for a moment and digest this information; Maybe you are the problem because it's nobody's job to keep you happy. Did you know that? It's nobody's job to keep you happy. It is not your spouse's job. It is not your partner's job to keep you happy. It is not your kid's job to keep you happy. It is not your boss's job to keep you happy. It is not your pastor's job to keep you happy. It is not your mother-in-law's job to keep you happy. It is nobody's job to keep you happy. So if you're unhappy with your life, it is your responsibility to change. This mentality holds true for EVERYTHING in your life not just happiness. So stop and think for a moment, maybe it is you that needs to make an adjustment because maybe you are the problem and only you are the one who can fix it. --------------------------------------------- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 08 May 2024 | Reset and Recover | 00:27:27 | |
A friend of mine recently had a miscarriage. This was after going through IVF, hormone treatments, and working SO hard to get herself healthy, so she could get pregnant and carry a fetus. It was tough. But she began to come up with a plan, which was to get back to baseline, because she’d gained 15 pounds doing IVF and wanted to lose that. I suggested that what she needed was to reset and recover, and give herself time to heal her grieving heart. Resetting and recovering are things many people dismiss as "being weak" or "wasting time"...OR as something you only do if you've gone through an accident, miscarriage, divorce, loss, or some other tough experience. But the reality is, resetting and recovering is good to do in a lot of different situations. Yes, there are times to push. There are also times to reset and recover. To be clear, reset and recover doesn’t mean you go backwards. To find out what it DOES mean, and how to use it to be successful in your weight loss, join me for this episode! ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

The grass is always greener... People admire other people's toys, car, house, spouse... they think that person's life is better than theirs. People think this shake or pill or diet plan will be the magic one that makes everything PERFECT. But the reality is there is no perfect diet or spouse or job.

| 22 Nov 2023 | FEELING CONFLICTED DURING THE HOLIDAYS? | 00:38:56 | |
This episode is all about navigating the holidays when you’re on a weight loss/health journey. There's a lot to love about the holidays...but the holidays can also be so incredibly tough. There's the stress and pressure of all the extra obligations..of feeling lonely...of missing loved ones you either don't get to see or who are gone. And if you're on a health journey, it adds yet another layer of challenges. Many Rebels go into the holidays feeling massive anxiety about it. First, the Halloween candy moves in. And then it’s on clearance for 80% off and it’s hard to turn down. And then they have candy and cookies and other sweets at the bank, the doctor’s office, the pharmacy, and even the gym (seriously???). For nearly four months you're bombarded. That's a third of the year! It's no wonder the average American gains 10 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year's. So what do you do if you're feeling conflicted because there are parts of the holidays you love, but parts you don't? And what can you do when you feel trapped by the onslaught of holiday foods and treats? Join Cari and me as we line out what you're up against AND share tips to help you escape the temptations (even if you have no place to go). ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Use CodeRed15 for 15% off of Redmond Real Salt – https://coderedlifestyle.com/realsalt ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 15 Nov 2023 | THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE PROGRAM | 00:35:38 | |
Have you gone from program to program to program to lose weight? If you're like most people, the answer is YES. Maybe you've even been successful with Code Red and swore up and down you were "never going back"... And then you DID go back. Maybe you even joined some other program thinking IT would be the magic fix you need to stop regaining weight. Either way, tune into this episode , where I'm joined by my sister, Cari, to talk about program switching. Specifically, we'll dive into why program switching is probably hurting you more than you realize... Especially if you're doing it because you're looking for something you think "isn't restrictive." (Wait 'til you hear our take on that...it's really gonna open your eyes!)

| 26 Apr 2023 | MOMENTUM | 00:41:19 | |
One of the most powerful and underrated words in the English language is also my favorite word. Can you guess what it is? No, it's NOT “motivation.” That word is _over_rated. My favorite word is actually...MOMENTUM! Any time you start a new journey, whether it's to lose weight, grow a business, or even organize your closet, there's an adjustment period of getting into momentum. But once you get into momentum and stay there, great things start happening. Take my buddy Jason, who wanted to drop some weight and hired me to be accountable to. He's doing REALLY well, and part of that is because he's got great momentum. It's the same for anyone doing well on Code Red. They're in momentum! In this week’s podcast, I'm gonna tell you more about momentum, including how to get and stay in momentum with your weight loss, all the way through reaching goal... So that you don't cave in and derail your progress when the complacency voice chimes in with thoughts like, “I only have 15 pounds to go. I’ll just have some cheese sticks from Applebee’s or a couple of breadsticks from Olive Garden. It won't hurt and I'll get back on track tomorrow.” Tune into this week’s podcast to get - and stay - in momentum, so you can boost your weight loss progress and go all the way. ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 10 Nov 2021 | Is Obesity Contagious? | 00:37:07 | |
When it comes to health, you want to be certain. Our goal is for people to take their health back from years of abuse due to poor eating habits, poor water consumption and sleep deprivation, among other factors. If we want to achieve that goal, we need people to strongly believe in us. We need people to see that we did the research and put in the work. We built a culture where people look to empirical data, scholarly articles, scientific studies, and credible sources before making decisions that affect health. One such article is from The New England Journal of Medicine where they showcase a study, made by N. A. Christakis, and J. H. Fowler, on the spread of obesity in a large social network over 32 years. Results show that people’s chances of becoming obese increase by 57% if s/he has a friend who is obese in a given interval. Among pairs of adult siblings, there’s a 40% increased chance of one becoming obese if the other is obese. Furthermore, if one spouse is obese, the other has a 37% increased chance of becoming the same. One conclusion derived from the study is that obesity appears to spread through social ties. Did that pique your interest? Is obesity really contagious? Let’s explore the dynamics of obesity, impacts of social ties to health, and what we can do to combat this phenomenon. Here is the link to the study that I read on this episode. https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMsa066082?articleTools=true —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about cutting through noise and taking back a healthy life of peace and serenity! --------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 09 Aug 2023 | CRAVING THE HARD | 00:36:03 | |
If you’ve ever gotten to your goal weight, felt lost, and regained weight, this episode will help you understand what happened. Here’s the scoop. I boxed as a licensed professional fighter from 2002 to 2010. There was a lot of training, but I loved the feeling of knowing I could do hard things. After I retired from boxing, I felt lost. My identity was no longer "a fighter." To cope with that feeling, I immediately transitioned into another extreme sport: Cycling. And then I trained my butt off for that! Fast forward to this year, and I trained and got on stage for a bodybuilding competition at age 47. There are other really hard things I've sought out in my life, too...like hiking Rim to Rim in the Grand Canyon in 2021...like climbing Mt. Whitney last year...and many others. What doing all these hard things has taught me is that when something is over that you really worked at, you can get depressed. You can feel lost and like you don’t have a purpose anymore... Kinda like when you finally get to goal weight and find yourself thinking, "Now what??" In this episode, I'm revealing what YOU can do to prevent the "Now what?" feeling from causing you to re-gain weight after you reach goal. If you're at goal and feeling this way...if you're close to goal...if you're not close, but want to be prepared when you get there...and especially, if you WERE at goal weight but gained back some weight... Tune into this episode to discover the missing link. (It’s actually REALLY simple.)

| 31 May 2023 | FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS | 00:30:19 | |
For me, there's no question that I'm doing what I was put on this earth to do. We ALL have a purpose. We're all here for a reason. That's what I believe. What that purpose is, well, that can be hard to pinpoint...kinda like it was (at first) for Esther in the Bible. If you're familiar with the story, you know Esther was a typical Jewish woman who, through a series of pretty impossible circumstances, was made queen. God used her to save her people from an evil plot to wipe them out. It's what she was born to do. Your purpose may or may not be that grandiose, but either way, don't think for one second that it doesn't matter. To the people you impact, it can mean the world. Case in point: my sister Cari is an ICU nurse. She’s had patients the doctor tried to fix, but couldn't. She told me about a family who wanted a minister to come in and pray, but no one would, and it was heartbreaking. So, Cari offered to pray, and the relief on that family's face was instant. To them, that meant the world!! Make no mistake: YOU were here for a time such as this, too. Check out this episode to hear more about why that is (and how your health may be impacting your ability to do what you're here to do). ---- Become a VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 28 Aug 2024 | SEE YOU TOMORROW! | 00:35:14 | |
While I was in Calgary a few weeks back, I got coffee from the drive-thru of a coffee shop called Tim Horton's. On the way out of the drive-thru, I spotted a sign that said, "See you tomorrow." Not, "Have a nice day" or "Thank you for your business," but "See you tomorrow." On the one hand, it's kinda brilliant. It plants this little seed that you should come back tomorrow, and does it in a subtle way so you don't feel like you're being told what to do. But in some situations, getting someone to come back is one of the WORST things you can try to do. And if you're a customer who keeps going back, you could be doing yourself more harm than good in these certain situations. Watch this episode to find out why, including why and when YOU should think twice about "going back tomorrow." ---- https://coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 06 Jul 2022 | Wherever You Go, There You Are. | 00:27:59 | |
Being unhappy is a baggage you keep choosing to lug around. No matter where you go, whom you’re with and what’s happening around you, you are where you are – with the same crap you choose to lug around. Problem is you never seem to be the one to blame for your own pain and suffering… It’s your age. It’s your knees. It’s the host, the food they chose to prepare, the peer pressure, and the list goes on! That’s why you’re sad, why you’re binge-eating, why you’re sick and tired and overweight…but still carrying that baggage. And after a long day of whining and cussing at the wretched life you currently have, you hit the hay, only to wake up the next day for another bout with yesterday’s tragedy. “When does it stop”, you wonder. When you stop lugging around your baggage – insecurities, negative self-talk, constant self-doubt, hesitance in taking responsibility for your own happiness! Stop, even just for a moment, to think about how you have the power to make yourself happy! In Code Red, we believe in your power! You CAN choose to inspire and be inspired to take action against obesity and the insecurities they bring. You CAN choose to believe in yourself, your weight loss program and the proper human diet, regardless of what anyone has to say about your chosen lifestyle! Ultimately, you CAN be happy no matter the situation, when you free yourself from the unnecessary physical and emotional baggage on your back. “But where do I start?” On this episode, let’s talk about all the ways you can identify the unnecessary baggage, and instead equip yourself to achieve that happy and healthy mind and body that you deserve!

| 11 Sep 2024 | GRAZING IS THE ENEMY | 00:39:09 | |
I've been to Europe eleven times and traveled all over the world during my boxing career. And one thing I saw over and over is that in most European countries (not all, but most), obesity is very rare. One of my Certified Coaches recently asked me why that is. Meaning, why are Americans so much heavier than most Europeans? Well, one reason is that Europe has banned most of the gross chemicals we pack into our foods (especially our processed foods). They also don't do GMOs or add inflammatory seed oils to everything. Even fast food restaurants like McDonald's have fewer ingredients and fewer chemicals in their "food." But all that is just the tip of the iceberg. In this podcast episode, I'm diving into the reasons most European countries are not as fat or sick as we are in the U.S. The reason I'm focusing on most is an eating style known as grazing...including what it is and why it adds to our obesity and disease. Tune into this episode for the full scoop on why grazing is the enemy. Plus, learn more about why most Europeans don't battle their weight like we do in the U.S. ---- https://coderedlifestyle.com/retreat ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 17 Feb 2021 | They Called Her "Jolly Green Giant." | 00:39:08 | |
Lisa Cain has been heavy her entire life. Bullied as a kid, they called her "Jolly Green Giant." At 6 foot 2, she could never shop in the kids' section, couldn't fit into uniforms, and was told she was fat by her coach. Decades went by, and every diet failed, including weight loss surgery. Hear Lisa's story of how she finally lost 161 lbs and is no longer a "jolly green giant" but a goddess!! Her transformation story has inspired so many people to begin their weight loss journey, and as you'll be hearing from her, her life has been completely changed. If you look at her before and after pictures, they don't look like the same person. She looks younger and more vibrant after losing weight, and she is having a hard time getting used to her new body after being heavy her entire life. Lisa explains the reason she thinks Code Red worked for her after all other programs, including weight loss surgery, failed is that Code Red gets to the root of the problem. Her custom program helped her understand her body better, and what types of food worked for her. Click Play to hear Lisa’s weight loss journey and how she is inspiring other people when they see how different she is now. Key Takeaways

| 01 Jun 2022 | Unexpected Miracle | 00:47:56 | |
Is someone listening? The question a lot of us are always eager to ask but reluctant to hear the answer. Because what if no one is listening? If we can easily be offended when we’re talking to a friend while s/he is lazily scrolling on her/his phone, what more when we’re desperate for help and no one seems to return our call?! Maybe you’re an entrepreneur trying to market your product to an audience, or a mom yelling for someone to take the laundry out the dryer because you’re busy cooking, or an obese person praying for a chance to take your life back… You want to know if someone’s listening but you’re afraid to know there’s no one there. Well, there’s ALWAYS someone listening! But even in times there aren’t any other people around, remember that there’s always YOU who has the power to choose the outcome of your life. You can’t control everything BUT change what you can. Be accountable for what you know and take action! If no one is listening to your spiels, change the spiel or change your product! If no one is at home to help you out, change your schedule so chores don’t coincide. If you really want to lose weight and take your life back, educate yourself about proper nutrition through FREE CodeRed content and choose REAL Food, Water and Sleep. What you’ve yet to realize is that in your darkest hour, even when it seems there’s no one there, there’s always YOU who can be the miracle you need! Truth is, we all need help sometimes. And so, for proper weight loss and living a healthy lifestyle, you can always count on us and we’re always ready to help you live the healthy life you deserve!

| 18 Aug 2021 | You call them FRIENDS??? | 00:37:55 | |
In today's episode we are sharing practical scenarios and practical situations of what would be a friend that you wouldn't want to have and what would a good friend say that you do want to keep around. I know we might get a few comments about this episode but this is so important when you are working to be better in life, better in health, a better spouse. We all have people in life that are just not good for us in certain situations but we never talk about this subject. Do you have clear boundaries for everything in life? Do you have low confidence? If you do, it will be harder to maintain your boundaries and say no to the things that do not fit your goals. So a good friend is one that respects your boundaries... Are you having conversations to set expectations of the day or the week or anything that you are trying to accomplish? These conversation can really set the tone and allow your good friends to prove the respect that they have for you. Are your friends providing you with positive energy? Are they staying away from the drama? Are you afraid of not having friends and so you tolerate actions from a friend that you know you shouldn't? These are all topics that we cover in this episode. Enjoy and as always thank you for listening! --------------------------------------------- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 07 Sep 2022 | Your Story Doesn't End Here | 00:31:58 | |
Look, if we're being totally honest, here, you've felt like giving up on your weight loss journey. If not with Code Red, then with a past weight loss attempt. Heck, maybe you even HAVE given up. The urge to give up hits us sometimes when stuff gets hard, feels unfair, feels hopeless, feels scary, and so on. But the urge to quit isn't the problem. The problem is when we DO quit. Yeah, it sucks when life throws you a curveball, but missing out on what happens when you keep going is worse. Seriously, if I'd thrown in the towel after any ONE of the curveballs that led me to create the Code Red Lifestyle™, hundreds of thousands of people would still be hopelessly obese and sick, believing the lie that there was nothing they could do about it. My point is that you don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring, and when you quit, you don't get to find out. So join me for this week’s podcast for help finding the resiliency you need to keep going, even when it's hard.

| 12 Oct 2022 | Back to Basics: EXERCISE IS NOT THE ANSWER | 00:38:41 | |
I spent almost eight years as a professional boxer, fighting at 154 pounds. And I kept and maintained that weight for years during my boxing career. Then I retired from boxing and took up elite level road cycling in 2010, and things began to change. Even riding my bike for hundreds of miles some weeks, my weight shot up by 20 pounds. Plus, my skin was ashy and my gut was hanging out, and I really didn’t feel good. Here I was, doing ALL this exercising, yet not only was I not maintaining my weight (much less losing weight), I was getting fat! It didn't make ANY sense! What was I doing wrong?? I'd been taught that you HAVE to exercise to lose weight, yet here I was, the fittest I'd ever been, but also the FATTEST I'd ever been! This experience is what finally taught me the TRUTH about exercise and weight loss. And in this week's new podcast, I'm revealing what no one in this industry talks about when it comes to the role exercise plays in weight loss. If you've never heard me talk about this, you cannot afford to miss this one, because it will set you FREE.

| 29 Nov 2023 | You're doing TOO MUCH! | 00:24:00 | |
In this week’s episode we’re talking about doing TOO much to get a result you want (like weight loss). It's pretty easy to get sucked into thinking you need "all the bells and whistles"....even though they won't do jack squat to move the needle in whatever result you're working to get for yourself. Case in point: I once bought an Oura Ring and paid over $300 for it. It’s a beautiful ring that looks like a wedding ring, and it measures all sorts of metrics in your body, including core temperature, heart rate variability, and tons of other stuff. In other words, it had all the bells and whistles. But I ended up just selling it, all because it measured TOO MUCH stuff that I didn’t understand or care about...stuff that wasn't going to move the needle for me. A lot of people fall prey to complicated bells and whistles that promise you everything but the kitchen sink...while simultaneously ignoring the non-negotiable basics that actually move the needle. That's why, in this week's new podcast episode, Cari and I are gonna give you a simple way to cut through the clutter and stay focused on what will actually move the needle... While protecting yourself from stuff that may sound neat - and isn't necessarily "bad" - but won't actually help you get the result you want (like weight loss). ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 19 May 2021 | Are you running in the opposite direction? | 00:24:42 | |
I was listening to Joyce Meyer. And no, I did not poach this from her, but I always get inspiration from her. And she was talking about the book of Jonah and I did grab my Bible and I opened up to the book of Jonah. So on today's episode we discuss the book of Jonah, how I hate when people use Yolo, doing the right thing, and how a past client paid $97 to be at an event all the while she was so angry with me, so confusing...

| 20 Mar 2024 | My Answer Will Always be the Same | 00:28:55 | |
I've been in the weight loss industry for thirty years as of 2024, and when it comes to weight loss, I've seen everything you can imagine. Pills, shakes, powders, and crazy "diets" come and go year after year, decade after decade. I've changed my stance on a few things over the years, too. For example, I used to believe in frequent eating for weight loss, and that the low-fat/high-carb diet was the "healthiest." I used to give my mom grief for not eating breakfast (which she didn't do because she wasn't hungry first thing in the morning). I used to be okay with veganism and being vegetarian (these days I personally don't support removing animal protein from your diet). One thing I haven't changed my mind on, however, is this: Real food, water, and sleep are the best and healthiest way to lose weight, clean up your wellness, and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK. If you're new to Code Red, you may be skeptical it's that simple. You may still believe obesity can only be fixed with surgery, shots, pills, powders, INSANE and unsustainable diet gimmicks, or even killing yourself in the gym for five hours a day. Whether you think real food, water, and sleep are "too good to be true," or you're a veteran Rebel who knows it'll do you good to hear the truth again, tune into this episode about what I believe that will never change if you're looking for safe, sustainable weight loss and wellness. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 19 Apr 2023 | NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES | 00:30:57 | |
You’re guilty of doing this. Heck, we ALL are. And when you hear what it is, maybe it'll help you make progress in getting and keeping your weight off. Here's the deal: A while back I was talking with one of my long-time Certified Coaches, Andrea Dell, and she remarked that "we want change without having to change." Oh man, do we ever!! "Cristy, I want to look good naked, but I don't want to stop eating the sugar that's packing on body fat and keeping me on metformin." "Cristy, I want to get out of bed in the morning without ice-pick knee pain, but I don't want to give up my chips." "Cristy, I want to play on the floor with my grandkids and be able to get up by myself, but I can't give up my diet soda." Wanting things to change, but being unwilling to change things - or worse, feeling like you "can't" - is a rotten place to be, isn't it? If this is something you've EVER struggled with, tune into this podcast episode, where I sit down with Andrea - who's been a Rebel for almost six years and in maintenance for over five and a half of those years - to talk about why people want change without changing, and what we can each do about it to stop getting in our own way… Including when it comes to getting and keeping the weight off!

| 11 May 2022 | Addicted To Being BUSY | 00:37:31 | |
Sometimes, the best thing anyone can do for themselves is to sit still and do nothing. HO HO HO! We can smell ‘em keyboard warriors rearing to smack us with some self-righteous ideals from miles away! There’s bound to be someone who’ll read this and say, “that’s just lazy!” Or maybe something along the lines of, “not everyone’s a privileged schmuck who can afford to bum around…”. We can’t blame them because in the context of the recent/on-going pandemic, where a lot of people lost their livelihood, telling someone to “sit still” just seems so inconsiderate, maybe even offensive. And so, we’re obliged to extend the context… When was the last time you made time for yourself? When was the last time you considered the state of your HEALTH above things like work and responsibilities? A heck load of people have become so addicted to being BUSY to the point where they’ve NEGLECTED the truly important things like health and family. And for what? There’s this mentality that success equates to hustling and grinding, overcommitting and overextending oneself, else, running themselves to the ground. Like that’s the only way to provide for their families, meet the demands of daily life, and maybe one day, earn the right to “live the dream”. But what if there was another way? A way that promotes productivity instead of being busy. A way that puts more weight on progress rather than the motions. A way where you get to REALLY LIVE! Maybe it’s time to consider sitting down to think of how you can dent your goals, and doing nothing that antagonizes your health (more), instead of aimlessly hammering at things that don't really matter! Ain't that an interesting proposal? Let's talk about it! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about creating a work-life balance that promotes good health, and focusing on productivity rather than being busy. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.

| 12 Jun 2024 | WILLING TO RISK IT ALL | 00:34:43 | |
In today's cancel culture environment, speaking hard truths is something more and more people are scared to do. I get it. I get angry DMs all the time from people who don't like my direct, no-B.S. approach. In last week's episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, I talked about how they're counting on your surrender. Well, that applies to more than your health. It applies to surrendering what you believe in, too. If standing up for what you believe in is something you're scared to do, it's understandable, and THIS podcast episode might help you feel more empowered to do it. It's about being willing to risk it ALL for what you believe. Whether you agree with me on everything or not, give it a listen and let it fuel you to stand up to the food pushers, to the people who claim drinking water will kill you, and to the people who think you should get a shot that starves your body of nutrients instead of losing weight with real food. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- coderedlifestyle.com/meat at checkout and use codered for free pound of ground beef! ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 03 Apr 2024 | Did I Fat Shame Them? | 00:27:46 | |
This episode is gonna trigger some people. You'll be hard-pressed not to feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. It has to do with a post I put up about unhealthy people eating unhealthy foods. I did not name them or show their faces (just like food documentaries and news reports that show images or footage of unhealthy people don't name them or show their faces). I DID express my opinion about their food choices in relation to their state of health. But did I actually "fat shame" them, as some people accused me of? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself. Like I said, you'll feel pretty strongly about it one way or the other. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| 07 Jul 2021 | Your assumptions about me: are they true? | 00:27:16 | |
I decided to ask you what your assumptions were about me. The response was both hilarious and interesting! Assumption #1 - you are good at all sports and very competitive You always win. Answer: Partly. That's true. Partly it's not true. I am barely good at all sports. I just think when you're athletic and you have. Good coordination and balance and agility and speed. And, you know, you can adapt to all sports and very competitive actually. No, I'm not very competitive. I've seen these athletes that, that are like, I'll stop at nothing to win and you know, and I'm gonna win. Assumption #2 - is you don't eat cake. Answer: That would be a correct assumption. I don't eat cake. Cake is not something that I go to. It's not my drug of choice. It's not something that I'm going to go seek out. It's not something that I'm going to be like, Ooh, make sure I get a piece of cake. If anything, I might have a bite of cake just to see what it tastes like. But even then, it's just not something that I really care a whole lot about Assumption #3 - is you like rock music? Answer: I absolutely hate rock music. Yeah. And even more I hate. And I'm using the word hate. I try not to use that very often, but when it applies, I'm going to use it. I don't know what I despise. I should say I despise. I loath. I mean, I hate heavy metal music. And so when I hear rock music, that's what I think is heavy metal music, maybe different rock to you is different, but I don't like rock music at all. And I avoid it like the plague maybe because, because I have a Mohawk, you kind of assume perhaps that I like rock music, but that's what this is. Assumption #4 - is that you're disciplined. Answer: I am not as disciplined as I would like to be. I believe, I feel like I let myself off the hook too much, probably compared to the average person, I guess maybe I seem more disciplined and perhaps I am, but I don't feel like I am as disciplined as I should be. it's a good assumption Assumption #5 - I think you are sensitive. Answer: Yes, yes and no, I am not sensitive if I get like an angry email and nasty email or someone's calling me names online, or I get hateful remarks or comments, or, you know, people that contact me and want to tell me off. None of that makes me, I don't, I'm not affected by that. I'm not sensitive to that at all. I have no problem laying my head down. Right. After I get, you know, a nasty email or something, it doesn't bother me, but I am sensitive to like my sister, Carrie, if she were to call me crying, I would be really affected by that. So I am sensitive to certain things, my husband, my sister my animals, you know, my two dogs, that kind of thing, but I'm pretty desensitized to most things. There's only a couple of things that really get to me Assumption #6 - when you make commitments, you keep them you're never late to appointments. Answer: This is a hundred percent correct. I always keep my commitments, always keep my word. I am never late to appointments. Never if. Ever late to an appointment, something bad has happened to me. If my ever late to an appointment there has been an emergency seriously there, I was just recording a podcast. I was a podcast guest on another girl's podcast. She was four minutes late starting the podcast. I stood there for four minutes to me. That's absolutely unacceptable here. A few months ago I had. Two employees that I was meeting for breakfast and I rearranged my whole schedule to meet him for breakfast. And they were 15 minutes late. And that is the epitome. Of rudeness. That is the epitome of disrespect. And I, I mean, it is, there's just, no, there's no reason for that. And so I will never be late and I will never, if I have to cancel something has got to be blood or bones or it's gotta be something that's absolutely like a serious situation. If I'm canceling never late. No, I have no tolerance for people who are. Zero. Assumption #7 - is that you eat everyone's leftovers. Answer: Yes. This is Marley. My friend Marley and Marley. Yes, you can't. There is no food is safe around me. I eat everyone's leftovers. You can't keep food. Now. Marley is very small. She's like 115 hundred and 20 pounds. And we went on a trip to Austin together. She went on a trip and I invited myself to go along and. She, and I were, you know, I mean, I weigh her by freaking 40 pounds. Like I am, I'm a lot bigger than her, so I eat a lot more food than her, but the way that she has been able to keep her weight down, she doesn't need very much and she doesn't work out very much. So she doesn't eat very much. So. Would have something and then she would eat half of it and then save half of it later. Well, no way, man. I was coming up behind her, like a lawnmower and eating all of her food and eating my food too. So the assumption is I eat everyone's leftovers and yes, that is true. I eat everyone's leftovers. To catch the rest of the assumptions you will need to head over to your favorite podcast listening platform!

| 06 Oct 2021 | What Gets Measured Gets Managed | 00:33:11 | |
Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle Cristy and Cari talk all about sleep and more importantly tracking your sleep to get better sleep. We use a scale to track our weight loss but so many do not do anything to track their sleep. In comes tracking our sleep and we mentioned having a FitBit to help you measure and just in case you are in need of getting one I have made it easier for you. Just hit the link and you are there: FitBit Charge 3 As a reminder we are not affiliated with Fitbit Key Takeaways: (Cristy 8:22) All three steep sleep stages are equally important, light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep, all, give you a different type of recovery and they're all equally important (Cari 10:33) Since I got the watch and not the watch itself, but being aware of my sleep has changed. My sleep habits, just having a number and knowing where I need to improve, because you could get beautiful amount in each sleep stage, but if you didn't quite get enough time altogether, your sleep score is lower. (Cristy 15:34) Any food in my stomach will, will make me toss and turn I'll get up. I won't feel good and my sleep score will be like an 82 and that's that's low for me (Cristy 15:50) You need to be moving in a direction of improvements. So if you are normally in the sixties, since you've been on code red. You're now 77, 81. This is a massive improvement of your normal set. Now, if I had a 71, I would be catatonic (Cari 27:00) You can even track your mood, the phone like this, and they're kicking my mood in I'm teasing. I'm teasing. So there's a lot of Fitbit really does try to do great thing. And I appreciate that, but really the sleep and the alarm alone and being able to analyze, oh, that's when that time in the morning, the light comes in and that always wakes me up at four So many great points being made this episode. Hopefully you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it. --------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?

| 01 Mar 2023 | What Makes You So Special? | 00:33:50 | |
After one of my VIP clients wrote to me recently and said “I didn’t do this” and “I didn’t do that,” with “this and that” being all the Code Red rules I have in place for a reason, I remember thinking this: “What makes YOU so special that you think you’re outside the rules?” Look, we've ALL thought we were outside the rules at some point. Maybe it’s because of your work schedule. Or that you have kids. Or that you're taking care of an elderly parent. The thing is, the rules to consistent weight loss are the rules to consistent weight loss, and they don't bend for any of the reasons you think you "can't" follow them... Because ain't nobody getting out of the rules. Not me. Not Cari. Not our dad, Larry, or our mom, Carole. Not even Oprah, Barack Obama, or Donald Trump get out of the rules, because it doesn't matter who you are. When it comes to losing weight and keeping it off, it's 100% of the rules 100% of the time if you want 100% of the results. So yeah, you can continue to think you're outside the rules... Or you can follow them, consistently, to get and keep your weight off. Before you throw up your hands and think, "Well, I guess I'm screwed, then, Cristy!" tune into this week's podcast for a new way to look at the mindset you're bringing to your weight loss. ---- Have you seen our new app?

| 02 Jun 2021 | Are You Mad At Your Body? | 00:32:36 | |
Congratulations! You've stopped blaming the world...now stop getting mad at your body. Anger is a very powerful motivator and more often than not, it leads to (further) destruction. You can't shame yourself into good health. You only ruin your health further when you don't recognize that your body needs love, time and patience. You took the time to drive over to your favorite fast food chain. You were patient enough to wait in line for that scrumptious taco meal. No doubt, you loved eating all that food and you couldn't get enough of it. Am I right? Yes? Perfect! Looks like we've established that you actually have the most important resources you need to improve your health. We just need to tweak where you focus using those resources on. Take time to start on the weight loss program that you signed up for. Take a step at a time. Be patient enough to follow your program and celebrate your victories with the reward system. You are accountable for loving your body until you can't get enough of its growth and progress. Disclaimer alert!!! It is not a quick and easy journey. Somewhere along the way, you may feel the need to run the other way...but we're telling you that you don't have to. We are here to support you in your journey and we will love you for all that you are. If we can love you, you can love yourself too!

| 29 May 2024 | 3 THINGS I WOULD CHANGE IF I WAS STARTING OVER | 00:37:04 | |
In this new podcast episode, I'm talking about the top three things I would change if I were to start Code Red over again. Code Red’s been around for fourteen years. It was 2017 when it really took off. The way I run things now is different in a lot of ways than how I ran things back then.

| 01 May 2024 | Reduce Friction | 00:31:34 | |
A common barrier to staying on track is being mentally exhausted from making tons of decisions all day. The more decisions you have to make, the more friction it creates in your life, and the more mentally wiped out you feel. This phenomenon is called decision fatigue. (It's why you start out strong in the morning and feel like cheating by the end of the day. Your willpower is highest first thing in the morning because you haven't really used it yet.) My Certified Coaches all have busy lives full of decisions to make and problems to solve, so for this week's episode, I asked them to share their tips for streamlining their lives and, in so doing, setting themselves up for success. They offered up several great and SIMPLE strategies that reduce friction, ease decision fatigue, and make it easier to stay on track. I also added some things I do to help me stay on track and do the things I've committed to doing. We came up with about twenty-five different things you can do to streamline your life and reduce the number of decisions you have to make.

| 09 Oct 2024 | 3 Lessons from a TOXIC relationship | 00:21:40 | |
I'm 48 at the time of this writing, and I've been in a few relationships and a few marriages. A couple of those relationships were toxic. For all of them, I wish I would have known then what I know now. But I’m a better person now for having gone through them (particularly the most recent one from 2023), because I learned so much about myself. I learned what I don’t want and what I DO want. I also learned three very important lessons that I want to pass onto you to help you recover and heal from any toxic relationships you may have been in (or are currently in). Tune into this podcast to hear these three lessons and use them to set yourself free. Join the 10 Pound Takedown Challenge - Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds!! Connect with me! | |||
| 23 Oct 2024 | Small Steps Are Better Than NO STEPS with Jeff Later | 00:48:22 | |
I’ve been in this industry for over 30 years, and I’ve learned that even small steps, taken CONSISTENTLY, will get you where you wanna be. I've also learned that a lot of people fall prey to the “all or nothing mindset," which is an outlook that says, "If I can't do it perfectly, I'm not doing it at all." A lot of people are either all in or they’re all out. It’s understandable that if you’re wanting to do something, you want to do it right and dedicate everything you have to it. But refusing to do ANYTHING if you can't do EVERYTHING is a recipe for failure. Small steps are better than no steps. And as much as I love seeing people go all-in with Code Red... I'd still rather they do something than nothing. (That's why I encourage people to start with a 10 Pound Takedown. It's only 30 days of doing the simple basics.) Not all days are going to be good days, and on those not-so-good days, the most important thing you can do is SOMETHING, because the days you struggle are the days that matter most. In this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, I'm again joined by special guest, Jeff Later, to break down both the "all or nothing" and "small steps are better than no steps" mindsets.

| 25 Sep 2024 | Find Stability in the PROCESS | 00:28:35 | |
Life doesn't stop throwing you curveballs just because you're on a weight loss journey. A divorce, the death of a loved one, getting fired, sick kids, losing a pet...the rollercoaster of life never stops while you’re still alive. A lot of people try to find stability in unstable times by eating themselves into obesity and disease...which only creates MORE instability. Then there are those who lean in and find stability in the process of living the Code Red Lifestyle™. I remember a 1:1 client I had about seven years ago. Her mom died during her program with me, and I asked her if she needed to pause the program for a bit. "No, I don't want to, because this is something I can control," she told me. In a situation you can't control or predict, the best way to feel in control is to focus on what you actually CAN control. And what you can always control are your thoughts, choices, and actions... Including the last eight inches between your plate and your mouth. Tune into this podcast episode and learn how to find stability in the process of living the Code Red Lifestyle™, no matter how out of control your life feels.
