• There are no new ideas
    Nov 6 2024

    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
    Oct 30 2024

    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:

    • Proof

    • Promise

    • Plan

    (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:

    • Proof: Before and after photos and testimonials of Rebels who've gotten results

    • Promise: A nutrition program that enables you to lose up to 10% of your body weight every month without shakes, diet pills, diet foods, or exercise

    • Plan: A Home Study program, the 10 Pound Takedown, the 7-Day Total Body Reset, the 21-Day Identity Shift, my books...there are lots of plans with Code Red!

    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.

  • Small Steps Are Better Than NO STEPS with Jeff Later
    Oct 23 2024

    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
    Oct 16 2024

    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
    Oct 9 2024

    I'm 48 at the time of this writing, and I've been in a few relationships and a few marriages. A couple of those relationships were toxic.

    For all of them, I wish I would have known then what I know now.

    But I’m a better person now for having gone through them (particularly the most recent one from 2023), because I learned so much about myself.

    I learned what I don’t want and what I DO want.

    I also learned three very important lessons that I want to pass onto you to help you recover and heal from any toxic relationships you may have been in (or are currently in).

    Tune into this podcast to hear these three lessons and use them to set yourself free.

  • The BENEFIT of the BENEFIT with Jeff Later
    Oct 2 2024

    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
    Sep 25 2024

    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
    Sep 18 2024

    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.
