| Never Getting Off This Train | 13 nov. 2024 | 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!

| There are no new ideas | 06 nov. 2024 | 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.

| Proof, Promise, Plan | 30 oct. 2024 | 00:30:22 | |
In this episode, I'm talking about three things that every single business needs in order for a customer to feel comfortable buying their product or service:
(You may not realize it, but when you're making a buying decision, you're unconsciously on the lookout for these things, too.) Using Code Red as example:
In today's world, proof can be faked (or stolen), and consumers are - understandably - pretty distrustful because of it. As a consumer, it's important to do your due diligence. As a business owner, it's important to be transparent about your proof as well as show it. This podcast episode is especially great for you if: A) You're new to Code Red and trying to understand how Code Red is different and whether it's for you, and/OR... B) You're a current Rebel who has people interested in Code Red (you can send them this episode!), and/OR... C) You're a business owner who wants to understand more about using proof, a promise, and a plan to inspire more people to buy from you. https://reset.coderedlifestyle.com/7-day-reset Join the 10 Pound Takedown Challenge - Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds!!

| Small Steps Are Better Than NO STEPS with Jeff Later | 23 oct. 2024 | 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.

| Pay down your ignorance | 16 oct. 2024 | 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).

| 3 Lessons from a TOXIC relationship | 09 oct. 2024 | 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).

| The BENEFIT of the BENEFIT with Jeff Later | 02 oct. 2024 | 00:42:33 | |
You, me, pretty much everyone has set at least one goal in their lifetime. It might be to lose weight or build muscle. But what most people don’t really think about are the benefits of reaching their goals. Put another way, our end goal isn’t to lose weight or build muscle. It’s what losing weight or building muscle will get us. There are BENEFITS to them that we want in our lives. Using weight loss as our example, you’re not losing weight just to lose weight. Nobody WANTS to “lose weight.” You’re losing weight because you want to have more energy, or to feel confident in your own skin, or to enjoy stable moods, or even just to feel good about YOU. I’m a big fan of getting clear on the benefit of the benefit, because when you go deeper than "lose weight" and find the benefits of losing weight that are meaningful to YOU, it can keep you going when nothing else does. In this episode, I'm joined once again by special guest, Jeff Later, and together, we're gonna dive into the benefit of the benefit. Tune into this episode and discover how you can tap into the benefit of the benefit to help YOU stay on track.

| Find Stability in the PROCESS | 25 sept. 2024 | 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.

| from a Man's Perspective with Jeff Later | 18 sept. 2024 | 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.

| GRAZING IS THE ENEMY | 11 sept. 2024 | 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.

| ONE DAY, YOU WON'T HAVE THE CHANCE | 04 sept. 2024 | 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.

| SEE YOU TOMORROW! | 28 août 2024 | 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.

| THE 3 BIGGEST MONTHS FOR WEIGHT LOSS | 21 août 2024 | 00:41:05 | |
There are three months out of the year when a higher than normal percentage of people try to lose weight. It's interesting to see how many people mindlessly fall into the pattern of waiting until one of these three months. So why is it even an issue? Because when you wait for them (even if you don't realize that's what you're doing), you're programming yourself for failure... Just like you are when you think you should wait until Monday, or until you're not on your monthly cycle, or until some other outside circumstance falls into place and life is perfect. The reality is that you're ready when YOU decide you're ready. When you get yourself to that point, nothing will stop you. I know because I see it all the time. To find out what these three biggest months for weight loss are, and more importantly, how to avoid the unconscious trap of thinking you should wait for one of them to get your weight and wellness under control, tune into this episode! ---- 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.

| Sales at all COSTS | 14 août 2024 | 00:32:24 | |
This week’s episode is about how to avoid “sales at all costs” companies that don’t care about your success. Here’s an example of what I mean. On July 7, a guy pulled out in front of me. I couldn't stop in time and T-boned him, leaving me without a vehicle. I decided to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, as I'd always wanted a vehicle like that, and it's a good vehicle for summer. I found one in Lake Tahoe, bought it, and made arrangements with a car transport company to drive it to me in Boise. The transport company told me they'd get it to me in one to three days, and it would cost over $600. 😬 Sheesh, but I agreed to their terms, because it might cost me that much to fly down there and drive it back myself. Well, one day passed, and nothing. Then two days passed. Still nothing. I called them to make sure everything was going okay, and they said they were still looking for a driver. They also suddenly clarified that when they said they'd get it to me in one to three days, they really meant they'd "try" to. THEN they said, "If you really want your rig picked up, we can do a 'guaranteed' pick-up, but that will be double the price." 😡 They also told me it would be extra because my FJ40 had a winch on the front. But here's the real kicker. When they told me about their "guaranteed pick-up," they said they'd "give it the old college try." Uh no. I ain't paying you $1500 for a "college try." It's either a guarantee or it's not. I ended up paying someone local (and unaffiliated with this company) to drive down and get the FJ40 for me. I was telling Andrea (Code Red's Director of Coaching) about all this, and she said, "Yeah, so many companies out there will do ANYTHING to make sales at all costs, even if it means destroying the long-term relationship with their customers." THAT is exactly why you've gotta be careful about stuff that sounds too good to be true (like magic shots or gimmicks that promise you don't have to make any changes to get and keep the weight off). Some companies have zero problem telling you whatever fantasy they think you wanna hear in order to get you to buy their crap. There are plenty of GOOD companies out there, too. Tune into this week's podcast for tips on how to tell the difference between the ones that care and the ones that don’t. ---- 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.

| The DANGERS of ALL or NOTHING | 07 août 2024 | 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.

| SHE WAS WILLING TO RISK HER CAREER w/ Hannah Utler | 31 juil. 2024 | 00:59:13 | |
I talked to my cousin, Hannah, a few weeks ago at a family wedding and invited her onto my podcast as a guest...because she's a teacher and youth pastor who figured out how to make Code Red work for her. Before she started Code Red, Hannah’s bones would crack when she got out of bed. She was in pain, and it was difficult to lift things and squeeze herself between the desks in her classroom. Hannah’s journey with Code Red actually started after a dream she had last year (2023). In her dream she had lost all the weight she was carrying and became pregnant (fertility is part of her health journey). Hannah told me the Lord gave her that dream...so when a friend encouraged her to care for her health, she decided to sign up for the Code Red Lifestyle™. She started on March 4, 2023, and says she's never looked back. If you're a teacher, nurse, caregiver, or someone with any kind of crazy schedule who struggles to make Code Red work for you (or you flat-out think you can't make it work), tune into this episode to hear how Hannah committed to Code Red and made it work...even in spite of her doubts and insecurities around whether she could (or would) stick with it. You'll also hear about Hannah's inner transformation, including how she went from people pleasing to confidently saying no (without hurting people's feelings). ---- 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.

| WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU QUIT SUGAR? | 24 juil. 2024 | 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.

| Every day is DAY 1 with Jake Thomas | 10 juil. 2024 | 01:20:37 | |
A few months ago, Instagram suggested I start following a guy named Jake Thomas. I'd never heard of him, but when I saw that we followed a lot of the same people, ran in the same circles, and had a lot in common, I thought, "Why not?" One thing Jake said that stuck with me was, “Every day is day one.” See, Jake grew up in New Orleans in a suburban family. He appeared “good” on the outside and his family seemed “perfect"...but things were NOT good OR perfect. Having no direction or purpose in his life, and while carrying a lot of suppressed emotional baggage he didn't know what to do with, Jake joined the Marines at age 17, where he found leadership, assertiveness, and mission. But after he left the Marines, he lost all sense of identity. Even working in the oil fields and making plenty of money, he couldn't handle reality and escaped with booze and "pleasurable company." He also got fat and inflamed. His turning point came at age 30, when he finally got fed up and asked himself, “Dude! Where are you going? What are you doing?!” Determined to clean up his act, Jake researched human physiology and discovered that what we eat impacts everything in our lives, including our mind and spirit. Jake took control of his eating (he went carnivore) and adopted the same training style used in recruit training in the Marines, which is where "every day is day one" comes from. The day recruits ARRIVE for training is day ZERO. The day they START is day ONE. As Jake explains, it doesn’t matter what you look like on day zero. When training starts on day one, it’s on. Everybody is the same on day one. Jake also says that “The single most effective thing we can do as human beings is controlling what we put in our mouth.” Amen! And you can start doing that today, even if you've never done it a day in your life or you've gone back to your old ways. Every day is day one, which means every day you can "start training" again. For more motivation and encouragement to move beyond past choices, guilt, shame, and any other crud holding you back, tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, where I talk with Jake Thomas about why EVERY day is day one. ---- Connect with Jake: https://lifelikejake.com/ ---- 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.

| FIND OUT IF YOU'RE RIGHT | 03 juil. 2024 | 00:38:36 | |
Exodus 14 of the Bible includes a famous story everyone’s heard about: The parting of the Red Sea. The Israelites were fleeing captivity and slavery in Egypt at the hands of Pharaoh. With the Egyptian army closing in on them, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go. So God told Moses to stretch out his arm to part the waters... BUT the waters didn’t part until the children of Israel TOOK A STEP toward the Red Sea. In the New Testament of the Bible, while Jesus was walking on water, he told Peter to take a step toward him - ON the water - to meet him. These stories remind me that the first step is usually the hardest. (Or, as we say in boxing, the first round is the hardest.) For example, at the half-marathon most of my Coaches and I ran in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this year, that first mile was the hardest. The first step is usually the scariest, too, no matter what you're doing...starting a business, going on a first date, or even starting the Code Red Lifestyle™. I wish more people understood that NOT taking that hard or scary first step is worse than the fear or difficulty of taking it. I’m not good at very many things, but I don’t fear taking chances, because when I take a chance, I have a 50/50 chance of being right. Sometimes I’m right. Sometimes I’m not. But I find out. If I don't take a chance, on the other hand, I have a zero percent chance of being right. Tune into this episode to find out why taking that first step and finding out if you're right is the key to an amazing, fulfilling life that you'll be proud of (and quite possibly, the key to getting and keeping your weight off). ---- For a few items talked about in this episode - coderedlifestyle.com/amazon ---- 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.

| BECOMING ANTI-FRAGILE | 26 juin 2024 | 00:40:53 | |
If I had to pick someone to be stuck on a deserted island with (or even go through the apocalypse with), it would be a Code Red Rebel. That's because we rebel against gimmicks and instead pick our hard and we do hard things. We rebel against a society, a government, and an education system that brainwashed us to believe lies like: You "have" to exercise to lose weight. That dogma has kept us sick and fat for over 70 years. But a Code Red Rebel doesn’t bend the knee to that narrative. The Code Red Lifestyle™ is structured for more than safe, sustainable weight loss without gimmicks, shots, or exercise. It's also structured to help you become anti-fragile in every way - physically, socially, and mentally. That's why Code Red Rebels are tougher than your average bear. They're anti-fragile. To hear more about being anti-fragile with Code Red, tune into this episode. ---- Join us at the next retreat - 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.

| YOU ARE A WALKING BILLBOARD | 19 juin 2024 | 00:31:58 | |
This episode is gonna ruffle some feathers. It's one of those things a lot of people do NOT wanna hear. It’s also something most people think about and deal with all day every day. It’s on our minds (maybe consciously or unconsciously), and it is shaping our daily lives. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the fact that each of us are a walking billboard. How we show up in the world sends a message, and we're not always thinking about the message we're sending. And whether we like it or not, other people judge us based on how we show up. Tune into this episode to get my take on how and why you are a walking billboard, and how you can influence how other people perceive you (for better or worse). ---- 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.

| WILLING TO RISK IT ALL | 12 juin 2024 | 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.

| THEY'RE COUNTING ON YOUR SURRENDER | 05 juin 2024 | 00:32:24 | |
Drug, food, and insurance companies, along with the government and the "health" care industry (among others), are getting rich off your obesity and poor health. Here are a few stats to bring this fact to life for you:
There's no money in healthy people, but there are BILLIONS of dollars (at least) in obesity and disease. And the companies, broken "health" care system, and government getting rich off your poor health are counting on you to surrender your personal power to take control of your health, curl up with that comfort food, and line their pockets. If that doesn't make you mad, it should. To find out more about why you’re manipulated into hurting yourself to make companies and the government money, plus how the system is set up to make you and your kids sick, fat, and dependent on food that slowly poisons you, check out this episode.

| 3 THINGS I WOULD CHANGE IF I WAS STARTING OVER | 29 mai 2024 | 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. Some things I absolutely would not change, but some things I for sure would. What I hope you'll take away from this episode is:

| THEY WANT WHAT YOU HAVE | 22 mai 2024 | 00:25:11 | |
This episode is all about the impact YOU can make. People are watching your weight loss journey, and they want what you have. (Just because they don’t “follow” you doesn’t mean they don’t follow you!) You do NOT have to be an influencer, business owner, YouTube star, or "famous" in some way to make a difference. Your coworkers are aware that you passed up the pizza and instead brought your own lunch. They've noticed that you're setting boundaries. Your resolve, your strength, your commitment, your dedication, your discipline...they're noticing it all, even if they don't say ONE SINGLE WORD. People who don't have structure, but see you implementing it and wish they could do it, too...they might make jokes or tease you, but behind that laugh is probably someone who's frustrated with themselves and wants what you have. Make no mistake: people are watching you. That means YOU have an opportunity to inspire them (just like someone you watched probably inspired you). Tune into this episode to learn more about the positive impact you can make on the people who are watching you (especially if you're part of the Code Red Referral Partner Program!). ---- ---- 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.

| Don't let you WEEKEND become your WEAK END | 15 mai 2024 | 00:35:37 | |
People often manage to stay motivated Monday through Thursday. But halfway through Friday, the weekend mindset kicks in and they start taking a break from caring. By Saturday, they're checked out; and on Sunday, they're mustering their strength for the week ahead. If your goal is to rest and recover during the weekend, that's one thing. But if your goal is to get and keep the weight off? "Taking your weekends off" from healthy eating is a sure way to drag out weight loss mode…indefinitely. Whether it's margaritas with your co-workers Friday night after work, Dominos with your family for lunch on Saturday, or Golden Corral after church on Sunday, you end up dehydrated, tired, and inflamed. Then Monday rolls around, and you start the process all over again...all because you let your weekend become your weak end. If you're stuck in this cycle, tune into this episode for tips on how to stop weak endings to your weeks, so you can be DONE losing weight. ---- 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.

| Reset and Recover | 08 mai 2024 | 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.

| Reduce Friction | 01 mai 2024 | 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.

| MY TOP 3 TIPS FOR WORKING FROM HOME | 24 avr. 2024 | 00:43:24 | |
Much to the surprise of people doing it for the first time, working from home comes with a lot of challenges. I've been working from home for years, and let me tell you, I did not see most of these challenges coming. Hey, don't get me wrong. Working from home is awesome...AND there's a flip side to everything, including working from home. Whether you're working from home because you've got your own business or you're working remotely for someone else, you'll face these challenges, too. And in case you're wondering, YES, they can affect your weight loss. Whether working from home helps or hurts your weight loss depends on what I'm gonna talk about in this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle.

| YOU STOPPED DOING WHAT WAS WORKING | 17 avr. 2024 | 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. Tune in for help putting it behind you. ---- Become a Code Red VIP https://coderedlifestyle.com/vip ---- 7 day reset might be exactly what you need: coderedlifestyle.com/reset ---- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.

| YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT | 10 avr. 2024 | 00:38:42 | |
When sharing the Code Red Lifestyle™, people don’t believe what they hear, they believe what they see. That’s how people decide if something is going to work or not. They look for proof, aka "the fruit" of what it produces. Actual fruit doesn’t just pop up on its own. It's produced on a vine or tree. This is why I've posted a before and after picture of a Rebel who's lost weight every single day for the past eight years, plus stories that go along with them. It's to show people "the fruit" that Code Red produces when you live the lifestyle consistently and correctly. A lot of people who start living the Code Red Lifestyle™ want to inspire their friends and family to join. One of THE best ways to do that is by actually living the lifestyle and letting your results do the talking. An example: Say your mailman sees you at the mailbox, notices you’ve lost weight, and asks what’s going on. "Oh, I’m doing Code Red. It’s real food water, and sleep. No shakes, pills, diet foods, or exercise," you reply. That mailman, your pastor’s wife, your sister-in-law, they're all going to notice "the fruit" of your work. Another example: Let's say you're in an Uber and the driver tells you, "I’d really like to lose weight. I’ve been struggling the last four years, busting my butt at the gym three days a week. I haven’t skipped one single workout, and I'm not losing weight. It's just so frustrating." You could say, "I’ve lost 135 pounds on a program called Code Red," and the Uber driver will probably be impressed. But if you reach your phone forward (wait for a red stoplight or until you arrive at your destination!!) with a before picture, so they can compare it to how you look now, THAT's going to make much more of an impact than just saying it. If you want to inspire more people to live the Code Red Lifestyle™ with you, tune into this this episode, where I'll talk about how to "bear fruit" in a way that makes people take notice. What I talk about applies to more than weight loss. It applies to anything where you'd like people to join in...a business, a group you're a part of, and more. Tune in for tips on how you can "bear fruit" in a way that inspires others into action. ---- 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.

| Did I Fat Shame Them? | 03 avr. 2024 | 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.

| When the Newness Wears Off | 27 mars 2024 | 00:35:31 | |
This episode is about what you do when the newness of a program or “fresh start” wears off. In her book, Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics, shares that the anticipation of getting something is usually better than actually getting it. (Not always. Sometimes it's WAY better, like the new dress I just bought! But mostly, she's right.) Very often the excitement and anticipation dwindle before you even get what it is you're going for! The point is, newness always wears off, and that's when a lot of people go looking for some new way to feel excited instead of continuing to do what works just because it's not "new and exciting" anymore. I see this every single time on the Facebook 10 Pound Takedown. The week leading up to Day 1 and Day 1 itself have the most posting and engagement. The excitement is palpable. But once Day 1 hits, people start dropping off, because the dopamine hit they got from "a new start" begins to fade (which it always does, no matter the situation). People who succeed with anything for more than five seconds know how to keep going even after the initial excitement wears off. The question is, how do you keep going even when it's not new and exciting anymore... So you can finally get the result you've been trying to get for eons, but still don't have because you program hop or fizzle out? Tune into this week's new podcast episode about what to do when the newness wears off... Especially because it applies to WAY more than 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.

| My Answer Will Always be the Same | 20 mars 2024 | 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.

| Fear the ABSENCE of PRESSURE with Chris Cavallini | 13 mars 2024 | 01:00:46 | |
I haven't met many people who seek out discomfort and avoid comfort like the plague, but this week's podcast guest is one of them. His name is Chris Cavallini, and he's the CEO and founder of Nutrition Solutions, a healthy meal prep company. Growing up, Chris was in and out of foster homes, group homes, juvenile detention centers, and jail cells. He was arrested seventeen times before his eighteenth birthday and committed multiple felonies. Yet despite ALL that, Chris turned his life around in a BIG way that, statistically, most people don't. And like most people who transform in a big way, it started with a turning point. His path wasn't all sunshine and rainbows even after he chose a new path. Not even close. But he made it happen cap'n, and to me, his story is proof that anyone who decides to CAN turn their life around. So how did Chris go from convicted felon to CEO of a successful health-based company? And what can YOU learn from his trials and tribulations to get and keep your weight off? Tune into this episode to learn all that and MORE.

| HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET | 06 mars 2024 | 00:34:47 | |
This episode is all about how quickly we forget, and what happens when we do. I was born partially deaf in my right ear, but my hearing loss wasn't discovered until I was in seventh grade, after my math teacher made fun of me in front of the whole class because I couldn’t hear him. My parents had my hearing checked after that, and that's when we discovered my partial hearing loss. I got hit in the head a lot during my eight-year boxing career, which made my hearing loss worse. Fast-forward to last year, when I finally invested in high-quality hearing aids, and let me tell ya...I had no idea how much I was missing! When I go to the gym in The Grove Hotel (which I live above at the time of this episode), I take my hearing aids out because I sit in the sauna after I work out and don’t want them to get all gross. Sometimes I chat with other people in the sauna, including a lobbyist I met there recently. I really wanted to hear what he had to say, but without my hearing aids I could only hear one in every three words. It was awful! And it got me thinking about how quickly we forget how miserable we USED TO BE. In my case, I left my hearing aids behind because I quickly forgot how miserable it is not to be able to hear people. When it comes to the Code Red Lifestyle™, how quickly we forget the misery we lived in before switching to real food, water, and sleep. That’s why this episode is all about how quickly we forget...and more importantly, how we can remember...not so we wallow in the pain, but so we don't lose sight of what we left behind, slip back into our old ways, and lose everything we worked so hard to get. ---- 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.

| BUT IT'S JUST THIS ONCE | 28 févr. 2024 | 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.

| EXPLAINING THE CUSTOM PROGRAM | 21 févr. 2024 | 00:40:11 | |
A lot of people have heard of a customized nutrition program from Code Red, but not everyone knows how it works. Since a customized program is the fastest way to get your weight off with Code Red, I've dedicated this week's podcast episode to pulling back the curtain and showing you what a custom program (now called a Home Study nutrition program) is and how it helps you lose weight faster. If you've ever wondered about a customized program (or you haven't heard of it and want to get the full scoop), check out this episode for all the details! ---- 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.

| Expecting a miracle when you won't do your part | 14 févr. 2024 | 00:29:53 | |
This episode is about expecting a miracle when you're not willing to do your part to get it. John Chapter 5 in the Bible illustrates this perfectly. People believed that once a year an angel came down to stir the waters in the Pool of Bethesda, and the first person to touch the stirred water was healed. A paralyzed man had been there for thirty-eight years trying to get into the pool. Jesus came to help him, but interestingly, he didn't heal the man right away. Instead, he first asked him if he wanted to be healed...and instead of just saying yes, the guy whined and felt sorry for himself because nobody would put him in the pool. I see a version of this when I ask people if they want to lose the weight. Many tell me, "Yes, BUT..." and rattle off excuses about why they can't, kinda like the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda did. Until that man was willing to quit focusing on his excuses, he couldn't be helped, and it's the same for us. If we want our excuses more than our results, we won't get our results. To be clear, I'm not saying you shouldn't pray. Yes, pray about everything...AND do your part to make it happen cap'n. Joyce Meyer says you can't do God's part and God won't do your part. For clarity on how to know when it's time to do your part, check out this episode! ---- 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.

| Don't Sleep One More Night with the Frogs | 07 févr. 2024 | 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...

| No, weight loss is NOT all MENTAL! | 31 janv. 2024 | 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.

| Learning it vs Living it | 24 janv. 2024 | 00:40:12 | |
It was 2016, and I was sitting across the table from a lady who'd put on some weight. I didn't say a word about her weight, but she knew what I did and opened up to me. I asked if she'd thought about doing a custom program with me. "Look, I know what to do," she said. Andrea Dell, my Director of Coaching and a Code Red Certified Coach, heard a speaker at a summit in 2019 point out that just because you learn something doesn't mean you can LIVE it. We're SO conditioned to think that learning something is enough to be able to DO it. If your goal is to memorize information so you can pass a test or win on Jeopardy, then yeah, learning is enough. But if you want to transform, just learning what to do won't cut it. People get caught in this cycle of thinking that all their problems will be solved if they just find the right "new information." To hear why that kind of thinking is destroying your ability to get and keep the transformation you want--like losing weight and keeping it off--join me and Andrea for this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- 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.

| From 350 to 150 in 18 months with Lory Stobart | 17 janv. 2024 | 00:40:00 | |
Can you imagine losing over 200 pounds? Lory doesn’t need to imagine it, because a year and a half ago she weighed 355 pounds. She vividly remembers how often she traveled at that size and the challenges that came with it, like slogging through airports drenched in sweat... Like making sure she wasn't bumping into people as she boarded and got off the plane... Like hoping she wasn't seated next to someone who was as big as she was, because they’d be "spilling over" onto each other. (That did happen a few times, and it was super uncomfortable.) The armrests cut into her thighs and she wanted to leave them up, but didn't because she didn't think it wasn’t fair to the other passengers. She got tired of asking for the seat belt extender, so ordered her own off Amazon. At work conferences, she'd sit all day in seats that didn’t fit and bit into her legs, so she'd always try to find the widest chair possible. Travel anxieties like these are just a fraction of the extreme hardships Lory found relief from after losing over 200 pounds with real food, water, and sleep on the Code Red Lifestyle™. To hear what it's like to lose that much weight from someone who's actually done it (no shots, surgery, or having to exercise), tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle. ---- 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.

| WHAT THE HECK DO WE SELL? Your SUPPLEMENT guide. | 03 janv. 2024 | 00:48:11 | |
I get these questions all the time: "Cristy, what supplements do you offer?" and "Which supplements should I take?" In this week's episode, Cari and I sit down to talk you through which supplements Code Red currently offers and what they do for you. If you've ever looked at Code Red supplements and been curious, but unsure which ones to take (or what they do), then tune into this week's podcast and get a full breakdown. Code Red supplements are safe and absorbable because they're made with bioavailable components. There’s no junk, no crazy pharmaceuticals, and no addictive drugs. If you’re getting crap multivitamins from big box stores you’re getting little to no benefit from them. (You may as well eat your money and poop that out.) You're also getting all the fillers and additives, which can inflame your body. Pretty backwards thing to have happen with a nutritional supplement that's supposed to HELP your body. If you decide Code Red supplements aren't for you, that's fine. But before you decide either way (or if you're just curious), tune into this episode and get the details on which supplements I offer and what each one does, so you have all the information you need to make a decision that's right for YOU. ---- 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.

| Skin in the GAME | 27 déc. 2023 | 00:38:45 | |
This podcast episode is about why success is next to impossible without enough skin in the game. People message me all the time and say, "I bought a Home Study program for my nephew, and he never even did it," or "I bought a Home Study program for my mom, and she never lost any weight with it." This is sad, but it doesn't surprise me at all, because I’ve NEVER seen anybody succeed when they don't have skin in the game. Meaning, they’re not going to value something they get for free because people do not value free (especially if someone else forces it on them, even with good intentions). It's the same if you buy something for your kids vs. if you make them purchase part of it themselves. If they help buy it, they will appreciate it more. (Same deal with their time. If they help choose and cook breakfast, they'll be more invested in eating it.) It's not about the money (or even the time) itself. It’s about the fact that most people aren't invested enough if they don't trade something of value to them in order to get a result they say they want. Some people do pay and STILL won't work the program. For example, people buy online courses or a book, then don’t take the course, won’t watch the videos, and won’t read the book...all because it’s not worth their time to finish it. They just don't have ENOUGH skin in the game. I can’t even wrap my head around instant or easy success. Any success I have sure as heck wasn't instant. I paid for it with blood, sweat, and tears. I’ve got a documentary coming out, and Lord knows most people who see it will say I’m an overnight success. Nope. It’s taken me 25 years to become an “overnight” success. Code Red is the easiest hard out there, but people on our program have had to cry at times and say no to the chili feeds and bake sales. They’ve had to measure their food, spend Sundays getting their chicken cooked, and take their water bottle wherever they go. The gimmicky quick fix is appealing. I get it. AND nobody's gonna hand your success to you. Even if they did, then without skin in the game, you wouldn't value it, so you wouldn't be satisfied with it. "Well, you don't know me, Cristy." Maybe not, but I know human nature, and without skin the game, we don't value what we have (or what we COULD have if we'd just do our part to get it). If you've been avoiding "having" to put skin in the game with Code Red - or in ANY area of your life - then tune into this episode to help you understand how and why you're not actually protecting yourself by avoiding that investment of time/and or money. (The opposite - you're hurting your ability to succeed, BIG TIME.) ---- 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.

| The FIGHT gets HARDER | 20 déc. 2023 | 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!) Tune in and get motivated to end the yo-yo! ---- 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.

| You don't get to hit the PAUSE button! | 13 déc. 2023 | 00:32:18 | |
This episode is probably gonna ruffle some feathers, and in true Cristy form, I'm leaning into it! Here's the deal. We all wanna hit the pause button on life sometimes. The problem with that is, in life you're always moving in one direction or another, even when it "feels like" you're pausing. For example, people wanna pause their fitness routine (if you’re into that) or their healthy eating over the holidays. They wanna pause walking their dog twice a day, or pause posting on social media to grow their business. What they don't realize is that they aren't "pausing" anything. Instead, they've pivoted from moving toward something to moving away from it. It really begs the question: Why does pausing something we know is important come so easily, while staying in momentum feels like a grind...and why is the urge to pause much worse during the holidays? That's exactly what I'm gonna cover in this episode. If you're struggling to stay committed to something, or just want momentum to build on your commitment, tune in to understand why something "harmless" like hitting the pause button on what's important is a disaster waiting to happen. ---- 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.

| By DESIGN or DISASTER | 06 déc. 2023 | 00:35:27 | |
Most people want change without having to change. The thing is, change is inevitable. You can wait around for it to strike in the form of disaster, or you can design it yourself and have some control over it. Training a dog is a great example of this. A trained dog is easier to control than an untrained dog. The catch is, you've gotta design how you want your dog to behave, and then train it to meet that design. You can also leave your dog to its own devices...it'll do what dogs do...and it'll probably turn into a "disaster" of a dog. Same with anything in your life. Your relationships, your finances, your health, how you spend your time... You can either design it into what you want it to be...or you can wait around for it to turn into a disaster. And while you can't control every little thing that happens, I guarantee you have more impact on your own life (and health) than you think. So for tips on how to design what you desire (instead of suffer with disasters), tune into this 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.
