Podcasts about code red revolution

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.

The world is already full of lies, but none of those need to come from you... Because lies that come from ourselves are the hardest to overcome. Someone outside you tells you you're fine, but you know you're not, so you dismiss it because you know it's not true. However, the moment you tell yourself you “feel” fine, even at 80lbs overweight and battling six different chronic conditions, the lie becomes much harder to ignore. The longer you entertain the lie, the more “real” it feels, until you can no longer distinguish it from the truth. And that's when tragedy strikes! People typically act on truths. With false beliefs at the helm, we alter our actions and responses to enable those beliefs, to the detriment of our REAL goals. Maybe you're sick, overweight and hurting all over. But in believing that these problems are just figments of your imagination, or "not that big of a deal," you deny yourself much needed solutions. So, ask yourself… Are you truly OKAY? Or is there a better life that you ought to be living? Let's talk about how we can separate the truth from lies we tell ourselves, and why knocking these lies out is key to achieving the body and life you TRULY DESIRE! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about how lies hurt us, why we believe them, how we can get past them and move towards the healthy life we deserve. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Social Media vibes are like: Feelings first…making sense last! True, isn't it? How all the butthurt keyboard warriors are tearing down what could be a healthy and productive environment with their feelings? Back then, the internet primarily carried a hefty bunch of reliable informative resources. But it has grown to become the heavily opinion-based “grieving” ground. People are influenced to become “woke”, and to shout at the top of their lungs what they think and feel… With little to no regard for what is true and what RIGHTFULLY NEEDS TO BE DONE. People will hate us for telling them to get rid of sugar like it's some sort of violation against their rights. They'll make ugly remarks on not needing “that much” water. They'll justify why they get very little sleep. But the truth stands! REAL food, water and sleep need to take over their lives in order to become healthy. Bad health won't wait. It's going to get worse unless we act NOW! So, regardless of what you think or feel, you still need to take action. The sooner the better! And what of feelings? Are they any less true than the commitments we have? Today, let's talk about what it means to have a healthy understanding of your feelings so they don't get in the way of your commitment to creating the beautifully healthy body you deserve to have! Any negative comments and violent reactions we need to know about? Feel free to share so we can find a common ground, where the truth of needing to take action can shine without the need to invalidate your feelings. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about recognizing and managing feelings so they exist harmoniously with the high-functioning self you need to lead a happy and healthy life. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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!

Change isn't the enemy. Advancements in technology and other fields aren't inherently good nor bad! It's what we make of these changes that matter. And so why should we stop ourselves from experiencing and leveraging these in order to better our lives? It's stubbornness that's the true enemy. Stuck in our old ways, we leave so many opportunities on the table! We need to understand that when an opportunity – to improve our quality of life, to thrive – presents itself, it's up to us to embrace the change. But we can count on stubbornness to put up a fight. Accepting change won't be always easy, especially when change comes in quick succession. Change can be overwhelming. We might have to put in the work in order to keep up, but that's no excuse to throw opportunities down the drain. In any aspect of life, especially in health and wellness, throw out what no longer serves your purpose. Throw out what no longer makes you happy. Make way for the new things that will send you in a direction of better! Still think excessive sugar has no repercussions to your health? Still reluctant about accepting the idea that there's no shortcut to becoming healthy? Still believe your current circle of friends will help you get you to goal weight? You're sick, tired, obese and can barely call your existence a life. Consider that it's time to make a paradigm shift! Throw out the sugar, along with the ego, and maybe these so-called “friends” too. In the end, change is inevitable… Will you let nature take its course, sending you (and your body) on the wrong side of change or will you finally embrace a NEW and Better lifestyle? Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about being open to paradigm shifts and welcoming new “tricks” for better a health and better life. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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!

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.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Fight-or-flight response is an evolutionary survival mechanism that's wreaking havoc in our lives today, and most of us don't even realize it! It is a primitive reaction that triggers the release of hormones and other chemicals in the body to help us respond to a perceived threat, whether real or imagined. Basically, it's genetic instructions that tell us to run when we can and fight only as a last resort. What's troubling is that this crude mechanism, though still applicable in today's settings, is causing us more harm than good. Because we're not meant to simply survive...we all NEED to THRIVE! Here's where it gets tricky: it seems like most of us will keep running away from living a healthy lifestyle until they no longer can, at which point, “fighting” is no longer an option. Why run from healthy living? It's because most of us have grown accustomed and comfortable with eating junk food, drinking alcohol, and getting little to no sleep – to the point where real food, water and sleep have become “threatening” to a “way of life”. Here's some news to get things into perspective… Not getting your dose of sugary treats or your buzz from booze or missing an episode of your fave sitcom aren't threats… Poor health and obesity are the REAL THREATS! And we keep running towards ‘em every darn time! This has GOT TO CHANGE! And part of that change is creating a mindset where the fight-or-flight response serves our purpose (and not the other way around). Today, let's talk about harnessing this powerful mechanism, learning to stand and fight, and moving from a state of survival to a state where we all can thrive! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about creating a mindset that unconditionally fights for the healthy life we deserve! ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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!

Age old question: “If practice makes perfect and yet no one can be perfect, why practice?” We've found that even a seemingly ridiculous and sarcastic question can bring the most powerful of lesson! From big groups like political administrations, business leadership and school councils, down to us individuals, we're all prone to making wrong choices. Wars have broken out, civilizations crumbled, lives lost, and yet here we are, humans who keep on going! Because NEWS FLASH!!! Wrong choices DON'T have to be the last ones anyone makes! Understand that “perfection” isn't what's being asked of us… We're asked to do our best, give our all, and keep going, for a BETTER FUTURE. And often, the “Best” is fruit of doing the NEXT RIGHT THING! This applies to many aspects of our lives, including Health and Weight Loss! Like children rebuilding sandcastles lost to the waves, we're asked to take back our lives with creativity, willingness, eagerness, and with a big smile. What's done is done. Wrong choices have been made. You already set yourself back from the life you want. You're already suffering from obesity and the diseases it entails. But it's not the end… It's the beginning of a COMEBACK! Gained 5 pounds last week? Get on that scale and start losing the weight TODAY. Filled up on sugar earlier today? Let's start taking out the trash (we mean those sugary treats) NOW. So now, we've already taken your time…What will you DO NEXT? How about listening to MORE WAYS you can pick yourself up and be on your way again towards the healthy body you deserve to have!

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!

Nobody losses fat by reading books... Or watching videos on weight loss. Or going to weight loss conventions. People lose weight by taking action! We're not about to downplay the part that knowledge plays in weight loss. Getting to goal weight means taking the RIGHT kinds of actions, and knowledge will TELL you what those are. Nope, going to the gym and sweating it out non-stop IS NOT the right action (at least not for weight loss). You can be physically active and still be overweight at the same time! What you need: REAL Food, Water AND Sleep! "HAHA! Joke's on you, I know that!" - but do you? “Yes, I've been listening/watching/reading all the free information that CodeRed has to offer! I have everything I need to lose weight!” – and so, why haven't you? It's hard to tell because even with all that knowledge, you seem to still be lugging around excess weight that we should've gotten off of you months/seasons/years ago... Or maybe you already lost the weight, yet here we are. It doesn't matter what you know...what matters is What You DO! And this idea applies to many different aspects of your life! Whether you want to get to goal weight, learn how to swim, get a degree, find a job, among other endeavors, you want to be where rubber meets the road! Having the knowledge IS important! But it will only get you so far. Who or what you know might land you your first job, but in future cases, companies will ask for your experience. They'll ask not just what you know, but what you did!

Finding a way around the difficulty of the first round is futile… BUT getting started and moving towards the healthy body you deserve is not! The first round will ALWAYS be hard BUT it gets EASIER! It's always the same, whether in boxing, in learning how to ride a bike or drive a car, in getting acquainted with your office's culture, even in meeting new people and building relationships, and most especially in weight loss. The difficulty is not for lack of experience. None of us were born knowing what we know now. Before any of us could run, we all had to (literally) take baby steps. Taking those first steps…was it difficult? Of course! Our bones and muscles had to form and support our weight. Our motor skills had to develop. Our bodies needed to find our balance. It was probably difficult for our parents too, watching us fall down again and again. Yet here we are today, making our parents, family, and friends proud. Learning. Knowing. Doing. Succeeding. Rinsing and repeating. Weight loss shouldn't be anything different! Take those baby steps! Break down the goal into smaller chunks that you can tackle one at a time. Get started by clearing sugar out of your home. Get acquainted with REAL food. Ease your way into drinking lots of water. Find comfort in getting enough sleep. Before you know it, you'll be racing towards learning more about the healthy lifestyle you should be living. Find a rhythm. Build momentum. Form habits. That's the way to go if you want to shed the weight and achieve the healthy body you deserve! What do you think is holding you back from putting one foot in front of the other? Let's talk about it! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about taking control of your nerves, finding the courage to make the first move, and beating obesity one step at a time. ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about examining and then cleaning up your surroundings to make room for the NEW and Healthier YOU! ------------ I am speaking at Keto Con happening in July in Austin Texas.  Please come join me.  Grab your ticket at https://ketocon.org CodeRed10 for 10% off your ticket --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Normal is NOT always what SHOULD BE. The idea of being normal is one that has been deeply ingrained in our minds. We have been conditioned to believe that there is a right way and a wrong way to do things. But what is normal? How do we define it? Is it what the majority of people think, or a set of rules which society has dictated over time? “Boys will be boys.” “Nice girls don't.” “Girls take care of their weight because they need to be attractive.” “Boys can be fat and still get a girl.” Should girls really work on their weight for aesthetics? Is it okay for boys to be fat? Shouldn't the point of taking care of one's body, regardless of sex or gender, be for health? We've got to think about these things… Just because something's normal in the eyes of many, doesn't mean it's RIGHT thing to do. This is especially true when it comes to health and wellness! Shouldn't we all encourage healthy behaviors instead of shunning those who are trying to improve themselves in whatever way possible? Doesn't it make more sense to give people the right information instead of discouraging them with our words or actions? Isn't it important to correct misinformation instead of blindly following ineffective/harmful trends that have been going around the industry since ages? More importantly, when someone else is right, isn't it only logical that WE are the ones to CHANGE our ways instead of asking them to conform? We're not in the habit of arguing because we want to be right. When it comes down to it, we argue because we know what's right and we want others to know what we do, and to do the things that will get them to the healthy body they deserve to have.

In pursuit of weight loss, where the rubber meets the road is in the kitchen, and the dining table, and the buffet line. It's in food choices and health habits that you either win or lose. And in order to make the right choices, there's a need to KNOW and Understand. That's why we're here to put a stop to the “What you don't know won't hurt” mentality. Because what you don't know CAN and WILL hurt your body! Nutritional Values, Metabolic Markers, Chemical Reactions in the body, and consequences of making poor choices are just some of the things we highly consider when creating weight loss programs. But that's not the End-All-Be-All… Code Red is a LIFESTYLE! Knowledge requires action. We're about putting science and information to practice! Knowing the caloric content of burgers and burritos don't get you to goal weight…choosing to EAT real food, DRINK lots of water, and get enough SLEEP, does! However, we understand that in our journey to goal weight, things can be easier said than done, especially when a certain lifestyle doesn't agree with your “inner being”. Each of us are unique and there's really not just a single route to good health. And so, we're also here to support you by creating custom fit programs for you! Ultimately, what we desire for each person is that they THRIVE and NOT just SURVIVE. The mind is a powerful force, but without action, there's no tangible progress. Weight loss may begin with learning ideas, theories, and strategies, but it's in practicing what we know that we achieve what we deserve: A Beautiful and Healthy Life. Where do I start? What else do I need to know about weight loss? What are my other options? You mentioned 5 Metabolic markers?

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?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

There is a strong underlying idea that we can't be happy until we accomplish something. It might be a degree, a new job, a better body or the perfect relationship. And it's not only tangible achievements like these. We also have the idea that we must reach certain levels of mental and spiritual attainment before we can be happy. The problem with this viewpoint is that it keeps us stuck in the same cycle of “I'll be happy when…” We keep putting off our happiness for another day — for when we get that thing — and in the meantime, we become frustrated, stressed and unfulfilled. This mentality keeps us from doing the things we want to do for fear of not doing them perfectly or achieving them perfectly or being ready for them. And at the same time, those who do achieve their goals often find themselves still feeling empty inside because they never stopped to ask themselves what they wanted out of life beyond just achieving these goals. How many times have you delayed getting to goal weight? Once you do achieve goal weight, what of it? What does reaching your goals mean to you? In this episode, we want to shine the light on YOU! It's YOU who can define what you truly want. It's YOU who needs to appreciate the ups and downs in your journey to good health. It's YOU who can decide what you'll make of the experiences along the way, and the benefits of reaching goal weight. This is why I believe that happiness comes from within and not from any external factors. This is why we believe that taking responsibility for your own happiness is vital for enjoying the results of your hard work towards the healthy life you deserve. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about appreciating the weight loss journey, preparing your mind and body to transition from one goal to another, and ultimately taking responsibility for your own happiness. --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

The moment you come out of your mother's womb you're placed on a road… In your earlier years where you couldn't come up with sound decisions of your own, it was the environment you were in and the people around you who influenced the actions you took. It was your parents, your siblings, maybe your aunts and uncles who taught you which direction to take along the road you're on. Now that you can make sound decisions on your own, we want to ask you this… Are you headed towards the direction of good health? Having been raised in a household where real food was the staple, are you keeping true to the direction of good health? And if you lived in a home where junk food and vices were the norm, are you now steering clear of those and travelling towards a healthy lifestyle? Unclear of your bearing, maybe you decide to just “stay in the middle” or “get off the road”. The thing to note is that you're not on a freeway where you can simply choose to exit or to wait it out on the curb. Every action you take is either pushing you towards or away from good health. No matter your beliefs about health, that road is going nowhere. You'll always be on it so long as you live and breathe. That's why it's always in your best interest to figure out which direction you want to take. “But where do I begin? How do I know where I'm headed?” “I THINK I'm doing okay eating small amounts of pizza and churros. But am I okay?!” Let's talk about the actions you can take, and the benefits of heading towards a healthy lifestyle! Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about examining your actions, choosing a direction, and moving along the road away towards good health. --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

“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?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” Not every day is going to be a good day. But where there is pain, there is opportunity for growth! What's troubling is that many of us don't recognize that opportunity. We let our emotions swallow us whole – we let pain crush us – when all along, we can be harnessing pain to become stepping stones to success. Isn't it true that the current norm is to drown away our sorrows? Because that's what society is asking of us? Because that's what puts food on the table, clothes on our backs, roofs over our heads, glowing recommendations from our bosses? “You're not getting far if you don't suck it up!” We've yet to realize that by bowing to the pressure, we do more harm than good. What makes the passage powerful is that it speaks of what we, as a society, fail to see: It's Okay to Not be Okay! We need to recognize that everyone has troubles. We all go through cr@p! And that's OKAY! Because beyond what appears to be a crumbling world is a place of renewal, redemption, a COMEBACK that's worth all our troubles. Recognize the loss of a loved one to see that time is better spent with family. Recognize that illnesses are a sign of our mortality, and understand that the life we have today should not be taken for granted, and is best enjoyed when in good health and good company. Only when we recognize our pain AND the prospect of a better future can we make the most of our lives. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about validating ourselves in light of the challenges we face, and making the most of our lives by understanding that it's Okay to Not be Okay. --------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

“For every person who has something, more will be given; but those who have ‘nothing', what little they have will be taken away”. This powerful passage, part of the Parable of The Coins from the book of Luke, remains relevant today! The number of coins and servants differ from one version of the Bible to another, but the lesson remains the same: Each of us are given the gifts. Those who strive to invest these gifts will be rewarded, while those who take ‘em for granted, those who remain in constant fear of scarcity, and those lazy enough to waste opportunities away are stripped of what little they have. In health, the greatest gift anyone can receive is the gift of “Today”. We're all given the opportunity to take our lives back today, but most people take this for granted believing there's always tomorrow, until there isn't. Will you be the one to start your weight loss journey today so you can reap the benefits of better health tomorrow or will you keep putting it off until your health plummets? Will you put in the work to raise your quality of life today or will you allow what little you can enjoy, through your body riddled with complications stemming from obesity, be taken away? “I know it doesn't get easier, the longer I let my body suffer from the beating it has taken over the years…But what can I do?” Let's talk about investing time for yourself today, so that you can look forward to a future filled with the benefits of great health. —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about beating procrastination, taking advantage of the present, and taking your life back TODAY! ------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Our superiority over other living species on earth lies not in our power to control everything but in our free will. When God made humans stewards of His creations, we weren't given extra comic book superpowers nor omnipotence. He knew that our intelligence coupled with the power to choose were enough for us to perform His will. This fact greatly showed when Noah excellently performed His will. Noah had no control over the flood. What he could control was his response to God's call. And so he chose to tap into his resources including God's grace and guidance, his family, and natural resources to build an ark. Noah could've chosen to disobey God. He could've sulked in despair over the inevitable natural disaster and let the flood consume his family and the creatures he was called to save. BUT he chose otherwise. And that's the key! There will always be circumstances in our lives and in our weight loss journey that we CANNOT control! But we're NEVER powerless! Surrendering to trials and tragedies is NOT our only OPTION. There's always something we can control and we have the power to choose our responses to the challenges we face. On a previous episode we talked about acknowledging the power of the environment and how underestimating environmental factors can jeopardize our health. Today, we give tribute to the power of humans! Let's talk about surpassing challenges and taking back our health and our lives, by embracing our power to choose the things we control despite seemingly overwhelming odds. Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about tapping into all your resources, managing your responses, and ultimately staying in control of your life despite uncontrollable circumstances. ------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Willpower ALWAYS wanes. No one, at any given moment, has an infinite amount of willpower. Willpower is LIMITED. And so, it's no surprise that environment is stronger than willpower. Because while your willpower comes and goes, environments persist. “Oh OK! I guess there's not helping it. There's no other option except to give in to…” We're going to stop you right there! We never said you have to give in and give up. Despite strong influences of an environment, you ALWAYS have a choice. You can beat the environment when you have the discipline to make the difficult choices. With the right training and the right mindset, YOU CAN obtain the discipline needed to stick to your goals even when the odds are stacked against you. It starts with managing yourself against the environment. It starts with focusing on the things that you can control. It starts with planning ahead and considering all available options instead of letting the environment test your integrity and eventually succumbing to temptations.

When it comes to health, you don't want to leave it up to chance. You want have certainty in the form of discipline, and that's exactly what we're going to help you build today!

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?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Hating your food but finishing it anyway is an intriguing phenomenon. Despite the intense emotions of anger and hatred that we feel towards a certain food, many of us “can't help it” and continue to eat ‘em anyway. We're not talking about disliking food for their looks, taste or smell. We're talking about hating food (that we otherwise would probably love) because they occupy space in our homes and in our lives. “What?! Absurd! Why would anyone hate food for being in their life?” If this ain't a thing for you, you can probably ask someone who's on a weight loss program and has to deal with food that should be disposed of – food that should never have made their way into the house in the first place but are there anyway. Ask someone who struggles with obesity but chooses to eat the junk food in their house because the alternative is throwing (wasting) the food away. Not everyone struggles with this BUT everyone can still pick up important lessons from this phenomenon. There is a need to understand the memories and emotions we associate with food, where these are coming from, and how we can handle them! We need to assess how food can have such control over us and the people around us. Because when we understand, we're able to empower ourselves as well as support those sharing our battles against obesity and unhealthy living. What are common emotions we associate with food? How can we control this? What are our options? What's actually going on in our society? We'd love to hear what you think about this topic. Let's talk about it! —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about understanding where the emotions associated with food are coming from, taking control of your actions and emotions to achieve a healthy life. #cristycodered #coderedlifestyle #codered #nutrition #healthyfood #healthcoach #weightlossmotivation #healthyliving #realfood #weightloss #weightlossjourney #takedownchallenge #coderedrebel #healthyeating #drinkmorewater #healthychoices #coderednation #beforeandafter #followmyweightlossjourney #weightlossgoals #myweightloss #ketolife #ketoweightloss ------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Achilles would probably have lived longer if he protected his heels. Might not have had iron greaves then but he sure could've protected this vulnerable spot one way or another, if only he wasn't too focused on being invulnerable. Depending on the account, some might argue that Paris just got lucky with that arrow to the heel, or Achilles was simply unlucky to have been on the receiving end of Apollo's anger. What's this myth got to do with weight loss? Well, the story of Achilles might not have been real but losing everything to complacency is! However fit, healthy, or strong you think you've gotten, you CAN lose everything to a single “unlucky” moment when you become complacent. A stroke can come without warning, a spouse might catch you cheating and decide to end your relationship, your business might fall because you became complacent. You CAN regain all the fats, illnesses and disorders, among other physical complications you've lost because of a single uninhibited trip to Taco Bell. One trip to your favorite fast food chain can become two trips. Sooner or later, you'll find that you're no longer preplanning, pre-measuring, and pre-logging your meals, and instead, you're making a habit of eating junk food AGAIN. We've said it before…our country doesn't have a weight loss problem. We're faced with a weight REGAIN problem. People forget how good it feels to be healthy and unburdened by physical complications and maintenance medicines. People lose sight of why they worked so hard to lose all that weight. People become lax, over-confident, complacent. And that's what we aim to address! We're here to talk about the dangers of complacency and how we can maintain the healthy life you've worked hard to achieve, the life you enjoy today, the life you deserve to keep living! —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about keeping your guard up and making daily recommitments to securing your health, dreams and goals every day. -------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click Below to join the challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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. —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about having the patience, discipline, and mindset to achieve the future you truly deserve. -------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

The expression dates back to when indoor plumbing wasn't a thing and families would share the same bathwater. So, the punchline… By the time they finish bathing the baby, with so many having used the same bathwater, the water would be so murky that one might accidentally “throw the baby out with the bathwater”. It's a funny expression in the sense that no one would throw out something so precious along with one undesirable thing…ermm…right? Oh WAIT! That's currently what our society does! Isn't it common nowadays that when someone we support and follow on social media features something we don't agree with/believe in, we're quick to hit the unfollow/unsubscribe button? We're often quick to judge and we treat “petty” and “different” to be nuances of “intolerable” and “toxic”. Is giving up on your weight loss program (and your health) after having a disagreement with your coach, about foods you should eat, the way to go? You're probably asking…what's the alternative? What SHOULD you do? What're your thoughts on this? —— Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about discerning tolerable differences, keeping ego and emotions in check, and choosing to hold on to things that matter. -------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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 safeguarding your health and spreading good eating habits for good health.

Today on Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle we are talking about cutting out the noise.   Can you honestly say you remember all that you had before it got so noisy? Don't you miss ‘em? The peace and serenity? The focus? The sincerity of it all? All of which now seem unprecedented in the face of so much noise! What happened to turning off the radio and TV so we can enjoy a peaceful meal with our families? What happened to giving attention to what matter, like your health and your family? It seems like when technology evolved, it changed the dynamics of consumption. Where we used to consume information, noise now consumes us. It's a barrage! FB, IG, Tiktok and Twitter posts everywhere! Messenger, Zoom, FaceTime calls left and right. Not to mention all the other websites out there. Oh and of course, TVs and radios still exist. Crazy, right? How you can't seem to get away from the misinformation, biases and censorship? How private lives aren't so private anymore? How it's gotten harder to focus on REAL goals when you're centered on other people's achievements? It's like you don't know who you are anymore, not with everyone else's voice drowning out your own. It's stressing you out and it's heavily affecting your health and well-being. If you don't consciously and proactively give yourself a fighting chance, you really will fall victim! You have a choice! Not everything is noise when you learn how to be more discerning. From there, you CAN cut out the noise, especially the toxic ones. There are ways around this and that's what we're here to talk about! We're going to be loud about this message but it's not going to be noise. Aren't you interested in taking back control of your health, your life?

Today on Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle I have a question for you.   Who do you think you are? Would you have an answer for someone if they were to ask you, who do you think you are? If someone tells you that you are not enough or too quiet or too shy or too anything.  Do you have the confidence to not let them sway your belief?   I know who I am and there's nothing that you could ever say to me that could ever separate me from my knowing who I am. And that's powerful.   Listen to this episode and ask yourself the question.  Who do you think you are? We don't know what the future holds and I hope you liked this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle and that it helped give you a swift kick in the Fanny, like only I can do. Thank you all for listening and I will see you again next week! --------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Welcome back everyone!  First of all I want to thank you for listening to this podcast.   Today I wanted to make a special reminder here regarding the intro of every single podcast.  "I'm Cristy Code Red, and you're listening to rebel, weight loss, and lifestyle where we believe food has the power to heal or poison. And we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss." I wanted to point that out because every single week I release a new episode and in the Code Red Lifestyle app we have content every single day that to make sure that you are no longer mislead, to make sure that you have everything that you need to be healthy on every level of your life. Now for today's episode I want to ask you why do we as people eat to pass the time? Now at Code Red we do not snack, we do not talk about snacks, it is just not part of the Code Red lifestyle. So if you find yourself wanting to eat to pass the time you might be asking well what can you do? 1. Chew gum 2. Stay hydrated Don't forget to get your Kaged Muscle or Redmond Re-lyte - https://www.kagedmuscle.com/?sca_ref=559476.JwPLXH4NB6 https://redmond.life/?afmc=5a and use your CodeRed15 discount code for 15% off of either site 3.  Do something like read a book, listen to music or maybe you are like me and you want to challenge yourself and not plug in at all. So the next time you are not at a meal and you find yourself wanting to eat, just to eat and pass the time ask yourself this question; why do I want to eat?  You will find out that often times it is not because you need food and it is just to pass the time. Thank you all for listening and I will see you again next week! --------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle we discuss struggling through things vs. working hard at things in life. We all have things in life that is just not worth it, not worth it for your health or for your happiness.  Do you have things in your life that you absolutely struggle through? What do you mean Cristy, you asked.  Being in a place of being miserable can truly do more harm than good. So a few examples here: Cari hates to run, she will not run very far or for very long especially if you put her on a treadmill.  Now put Cari on the stairs and she will go longer, go farther and truly get more out of the experience including wanting to do it again another time. Or Cristy had a very rough time doing evening meetings for Code Red.  She did not give as much to the meetings that she needed to for the other participants and she was not gaining anything by being there at an evening meeting.  So guess what, Code Red meetings now never happen in the evening allowing everyone to get more from Cristy during those meetings. Would you like more examples?  Or maybe you are asking how does this pertain to being healthy?  Tune in and listen to get all the details on the very fun and very important topic that we discuss on this podcast episode. --------------------------------------------- Have you seen our new app?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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 Fitness Activity Tracker https://amzn.to/3tHfVGQ   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?  Even when your other social platforms are unavailable we are here for you on the Code Red App www.coderedlifestyle.com/app Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Welcome back to another episode of Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle.   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 during the month of September.  Below are the questions that are answered in this episode: Are you completely over your sugar addiction? Building your immune system What made you love makeup? What kind of dessert can you have? Can we be best friends?  I feel like you would be fun to be around How is Miles doing?  We haven't seen him in a while How to deal with hunger pangs when removing snacks from our diet? Do you get tired of being on social media so much?  Do you crave privacy? How did you and Miles meet? Best way to kick night time urges to eat? I hope you all enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it!   --------------------------------------------- It is time to come see us on our new app.  This is a game changer people and I cannot wait to see you on the inside https://app.coderedlife.com/ Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Health diminishes with your BMI increasing. That is clear.   In this episode we discuss health and happiness and we ask the question can you really be healthy at any weight? We all have metabolic markers; blood pressure, A1C, triglycerides, fasting glucose and waist circumference, if you're morbidly obese, you're going to fail that one. Even if you passed almost all of these metabolic markers, it's not okay for you to be overweight or obese or morbidly obese. With that said can you really be healthy at any weight?  I don't think so... --------------------------------------------- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

Today on Rebel Weight Loss and Lifestyle my dog Vince makes the discussion.  Here the story of how Vince came into my life and how going on a run is not enough for a dog to live up to his potential?  How can I fix this you ask, listen in to find out more. I wanted to pull this quote out from the show because I believe that we all deserve to find what we are supposed to be doing in life and I talked about it for a second and I really hope you hear me when I say it.   "If you're trying to find what you are good at. If you're trying to find your potential, if you're trying to identify your calling, what you were designed for, because I'll tell you right now, I was designed for exactly this I'm doing exactly what I'm meant to do. I'm doing exactly what I'm anointed to do. This is exactly what I've been put on this earth to do.  Code Red.  Weight loss.  If you're trying to find what my best advice is and you don't know what that is, my best advice is this, just throw things against the wall and see what sticks, just try things." Just try things until you find the right thing and then work at the right thing until you reach your potential. Keep trying and enjoy this weeks episode and as always thank you for listening! --------------------------------------------- Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds with absolutely NO pills, powders, shakes, or exercise required.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Grab your very own Code Red water bottle today.  The link is below! https://bit.ly/crwaterbottle Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube

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!

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.  Click here to take the 10-pound takedown challenge! http://bit.ly/10lbtakedown Be sure to grab your copy of my book, The Code Red Revolution here.  http://bit.ly/coderedbook Connect with Cristy: Facebook http://bit.ly/cristycoderedfb Instagram http://bit.ly/cristycoderedIG LinkedIn http://bit.ly/cristycoderedLI YouTube
