Today's topic we are super excited to discuss. We're talking about normalizing weight loss anxiety. Cristy had a true confession... People have lost different types and different amounts of weight with the Code Red Lifestyle.

What are some of the reasons that anxi...

Better not BITTER

August 04, 2021 11:00 - 29 minutes - 23.1 MB

"You will park at the point of this pain and you will not move forward because you're not going to be blessed with more" Cristy It is so hard to truly move forward and AWAY from a big pain in your life especially when the pain is caused by someone specific. We can say we forgive, we can say we will move on but you will not be truly done with it until you have truly gotten to the point of being better from the pain and not bitter from it. I know this takes work. I know it can be hard. ...

If you've been following me for awhile, you're going to be SHOCKED at this episode! Listen to hear my surprising answer to people who have lost weight but can't find the motivation to lose the rest and get to goal.

Your assumptions about me: are they true?

July 07, 2021 11:00 - 27 minutes - 22.7 MB

I decided to ask you what your assumptions were about me. The response was both hilarious and interesting! Assumption #1 - you are good at all sports and very competitive You always win. Answer: Partly. That's true. Partly it's not true. I am barely good at all sports. I just think when you're athletic and you have. Good coordination and balance and agility and speed. And, you know, you can adapt to all sports and very competitive actually. No, I'm not very competitive. I've seen these a...

Committed To Our Future Regardless Of Our Past

June 23, 2021 11:00 - 28 minutes - 20.9 MB

So many people park at the point of their pain and never move forward. We've all done stupid things that we aren't proud of. But we remain committed to our future regardless of our past. I am intentionally leaving the show notes above short today because I really want that statement above to sink in. Of course below are all the links that you need to find your way into my world but before you go there and while you listen to this weeks episode re-read the statement above and let's remain ...

Meet Them Where They Are

June 16, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 28.3 MB

So many relationship problems happen when we have expectations of the other person that are unmet. They could be perfectly reasonable expectations or unrealistic expectations. But if we could learn to meet people where they are and love them unconditionally, like our dogs do to us, this would save everyone a whole lot of heart ache.

The GRASS is always GREENER...

June 09, 2021 11:00 - 34 minutes - 25.4 MB

The grass is always greener... People admire other people's toys, car, house, spouse... they think that person's life is better than theirs. People think this shake or pill or diet plan will be the magic one that makes everything PERFECT. But the reality is there is no perfect diet or spouse or job. The grass might look greener on the other side of the fence but you have no idea what it took to achieve that. And things are rarely what they SEEM. Lose your first, next, or last 10 pounds w...

Are You Mad At Your Body?

June 02, 2021 11:00 - 32 minutes - 24.1 MB

Congratulations! You've stopped blaming the world...now stop getting mad at your body. Anger is a very powerful motivator and more often than not, it leads to (further) destruction. You can't shame yourself into good health. You only ruin your health further when you don't recognize that your body needs love, time and patience. You took the time to drive over to your favorite fast food chain. You were patient enough to wait in line for that scrumptious taco meal. No doubt, you loved eati...

The Power of Community

May 26, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 33.9 MB

Studies, data and research have indicated that COMMUNITY is the biggest determining factor whether someone loses their weight and keeps it off. But why is it so powerful? We surveyed the group and the info we got back was crazy. Do you know why people joined the custom program group and challenges? They do it because they really want the COMMUNITY. As an entrepreneur, this is what you want for your, for your movement, for your message, you want people meeting outside of you. You don't...

Are you running in the opposite direction?

May 19, 2021 11:00 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MB

I was listening to Joyce Meyer. And no, I did not poach this from her, but I always get inspiration from her. And she was talking about the book of Jonah and I did grab my Bible and I opened up to the book of Jonah. So on today's episode we discuss the book of Jonah, how I hate when people use Yolo, doing the right thing, and how a past client paid $97 to be at an event all the while she was so angry with me, so confusing... Tune in and we will talk about how I know that I can help you! ...

Losing The Weight For The Second Time

After losing 55 pounds back in 2016 and helping me take Code Red global, you'd think Natasha Hazlett would have no problem losing the weight after her twins were born, right? I mean, after all, no one knows the program better than her! So then why did it take her 2 years to lose her weight? And why did it finally "stick" when before it didn't? Listen to Natasha's shocking story on how it all went down. Link to Natasha's book: Unstoppable Influence: Be You. Be Fearless. Transform Lives. ...

Are You Wandering In The Desert?

May 05, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 50.5 MB

The Bible talks about the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years for an 11-day journey. Their grumbling and complaining kept them from entering the promised land. So I ask you: what is keeping you from your promised land? What has caused you to wander the desert? Money? Partners? Your weight? Fear of the unknown may be holding you back from the promised land. Just like the Israelites, they were comfortable going back to captivity because they knew what it was like. We meet so many pe...

Instagram Q & A

April 28, 2021 11:00 - 33 minutes - 46.3 MB

It's time for an AMA (ask me anything) where Instagram fans and followers sent in a dozen questions, and you get raw, real, honest, unrehearsed response from me! I love these, so I hope you love them, too. Every once in a while, we do one of these Q&As and give our listeners and fans the opportunity to ask me any question they have about anything. So, thank you to all those who sent in their questions. The questions are quite interesting, as you'd expect from Rebels and also from other p...

Who Cares?

April 21, 2021 11:00 - 31 minutes - 43.6 MB

So many people have this need to please others. They base their own decisions on what others think, want, and need. It's a paralyzing problem that you need to get control over. Who cares what others think of you? Life is too short to care about what people think of you, and one thing you should know is that no matter what you do, people will always have an opinion. You are borrowing trouble if you care what people think. Cari and I have seen so many people who care too much about what ...

SHIFTING THE POWER

April 14, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 49.9 MB

More and more organizations are helping you take the power back! And Code Red is also helping you shift the power from the diet industry, food industry, insurance companies, government, etc., back to YOU so that you can take control. Are you sick and tired of buying pills, powders, shakes and hoping that they will work and you will feel better only to end up disappointed? Are you tired of all the disinformation you have been fed by the processed food industry? It's time to take back contro...

Age Is A NUMBER But Old Is A MINDSET (Cristy's 45th Birthday Edition)

April 07, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 49.5 MB

As I turn 45, there is no better subject to explore than AGE vs. OLD. One is just a "number" but one is a "mindset." I feel better at 45 than I did at 25. But why? It's not just because I eat right and drink my water. It's because I don't let my age hold me back. I never, even jokingly, say 'I'm old' as it's common to hear with many people nowadays. You are what you say to yourself; what you hold in your mind becomes reality. If you keep saying and thinking you are old, then guess what, yo...

Do It Now!

March 31, 2021 11:00 - 28 minutes - 39.4 MB

So many times, we put things off. We say, "oh, I'll get to it tomorrow or Monday or next month..." But the days slip into years, and you'll find that you've run outta time. Don't let this happen to you. It's crazy how time flies by, especially as we get older. The question that you should constantly ask yourself is, are you showing up for yourself and doing the things you consider important, or are you continuously putting things off and saying to yourself that you'll do them some other ti...

Finding Your GOAL WEIGHT

March 24, 2021 11:00 - 36 minutes - 50.4 MB

At the time of this recording, I have had almost 45,000 people come through my program. And finding your correct goal weight is such a huge question! Who should you listen to? How do you calculate it correctly? Who do you believe? It's all so confusing, and no wonder people are frustrated! There's just too much conflicting information available online about how to calculate your ideal goal weight. And the thing is, many people don't know who to believe. Your doctor might be saying one thin...

Can You Cheat On CODE RED?

March 17, 2021 11:00 - 43 minutes - 60 MB

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me this. Can you cheat on Code Red? Because all the other weight loss programs let you cheat! So what's the big deal, right? Well, the reasons might shock you! Even though all other programs allow cheat meals or cheat foods, Code Red doesn't do this. We don't believe in cheat meals because it is not worth it. People never make any progress with this type of mindset and behavior. The stakes are too high to have a cheat meal or, God forbid...

Even if you're not diabetic or pre-diabetic, we all need to understand insulin and the role it plays in our body. Here are some very simple, natural things you can do to help your body in this area.

Hitting Hard Ground Vs. Hitting CONCRETE!

March 03, 2021 12:00 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MB

Hitting the hard ground hurts. You're gonna be bruised, broken, and busted up. But hitting concrete is a career-ender, a deal-breaker, and you'll probably die. So many people think that the mistakes they make are career-enders (like hitting concrete). But I encourage you to reconsider; get up, dust yourself off and go again instead of giving up. What has happened to you is not a deal-breaker, it’s all the way you choose to look at it. So many people think they've hit concrete if they gain ...

The Species-Specific Diet

February 24, 2021 12:00 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MB

Humans are the only species on the earth that don't eat a species-specific diet. We have been eating the proper human diet for 5-6 million years until recently. But now we eat processed food from factories. Hear my experience of transitioning my dog to a species-specific diet and how that made me really consider how the "American standard diet" is killing us. Here at Code Red, we believe the human species was designed to eat an animal-based diet. That's why you hear me talk of the proper h...

Lisa Cain has been heavy her entire life. Bullied as a kid, they called her "Jolly Green Giant." At 6 foot 2, she could never shop in the kids' section, couldn't fit into uniforms, and was told she was fat by her coach. Decades went by, and every diet failed, including weight loss surgery. Hear Lisa's story of how she finally lost 161 lbs and is no longer a "jolly green giant" but a goddess!! Her transformation story has inspired so many people to begin their weight loss journey, and as yo...

Is It Okay To Be FAT If You're FIT?

February 10, 2021 12:00 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MB

Are you throwing up a 195 overhead jerk but asking for the seatbelt extender on the plane? I've been saying this for years, but finally, a new study was released to back me up on if it is okay to be fat as long as you're fit. One cannot be fat but healthy. This is according to new research by the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. The negative effects of excess body fat on heart health cannot be mitigated by leading an active lifestyle. The idea that people who are fat and fit ar...

Why Do People Gain Back Their Weight?

February 03, 2021 12:00 - 40 minutes - 55.1 MB

I don't want to talk about this. But it's the elephant in the room. So why do people gain back their weight after leaving the Code Red community? Let's have a heart to heart and learn where they went wrong and how you can prevent this from happening to you. Today we are talking about what many people in the weight loss industry avoid talking about.

Don't STOP After Reaching Your GOAL

January 20, 2021 12:00 - 22 minutes - 30.3 MB

It sounds silly, but a lot of people STOP once they reach their goal. You can't stop, and you can't go back to the old ways that got you into this mess, to begin with. But you can pivot, shift and move into a new phase. We have noticed that many people stop doing what they did to reach their goal, they just stop and become lazy. We don't want you to do this, we want you to reach your goal and stay there. What you did to reach your goal, you got to keep doing it. Pivoting to your new phas...

Parking At The POINT Of Your PAIN

January 13, 2021 12:00 - 27 minutes - 37.7 MB

At what point does your past STOP defining you? If you park at the point of your pain and never move past it, you'll never show up for your true self and help others. When you park at the point of our pain and don't get past it, you hinder the light inside you from showing. You don't show up and end up robbing yourself and your loved ones of your light, your joy, and all the good that you bring to the world. The world needs you to show up, but you can't show up while you are parking at t...

Guest mother and grandmother Carole Terherst (and yes, my mom) gives sound advice and a little tough love to wives & mothers from all walks of life.

Why Are You Waiting???

December 30, 2020 12:00 - 26 minutes - 37 MB

People always say, "I'll start Monday" or "I'll start after my son's wedding..." and I just can't wrap my head around why someone would be sick longer than they have to. How much longer do you want to live in this misery. Be willing to start NOW. There's always going to be something else coming up. If you are serious about taking your life back, you will start today. You won't wait for the perfect timing because it will never come. You'll only find excuses every time. Based on our experi...

I Can't With The Word CAN'T!

December 23, 2020 12:00 - 31 minutes - 42.7 MB

This is a word that needs to be eradicated from your vocabulary. Never say, "I can't..." whether it be "I can't afford" or "I can't find the time" or "I can't find the energy..." it's all bullcrap. You can, but you choose not to. Change your mindset around that contraction, "I CAN'T." Because it's creating a LACK mentality. When we say we can't, we take away our own power and ability. It is a defeatist mentality that disempowers us, and nothing good can come from it. Don't take away your p...

Being Faithful With LITTLE

December 16, 2020 12:00 - 32 minutes - 44.4 MB

So many people dream of big things: Running a big company! Having millions of dollars! Owning a Lamborghini! And I'm all for having big dreams (I have them myself), But you won't even take care of the beat up car you own now. You won't even treat your 2 employees with respect, so how are you supposed to have 100 employees? If you aren't faithful with little, why should you be trusted with MUCH? The bible in the book of Luke says He who is faithful in the little will also be faithful in muc...

Your WEIGHT Is Not The Problem

December 02, 2020 12:00 - 28 minutes - 39.4 MB

People look at their weight and think that’s the problem. But in reality, your weight is the result of a BIGGER PROBLEM. Your weight is a symptom of the actual problem. You’ll find so many people struggling to lose weight all the time and even regaining it all back. This is because the bioaccumulation of body fat is not the problem; it is a symptom and a result of a bigger problem in your life. The question you need to ask yourself is, what’s going on in your life that is causing the ac...

Pay NOW Or Pay LATER - But You WILL PAY

November 25, 2020 12:00 - 29 minutes - 40.1 MB

Everyone loves being catered to; someone to cook for you, serve you, wait on you, and clean up afterward. But someone has to pay the bill. And I promise you - they're not doing it from the goodness of their hearts. You will get the bill, and YOU WILL PAY. The same goes for weight loss. It seems like it's just one donut or one pizza. But the bill comes in the form of eczema, IBS, medications, migraines, or weight gain. Don't lie to yourself; everything you indulge in right now will have t...

Goals Don't STOP On The Weekends!

November 18, 2020 12:00 - 22 minutes - 30.6 MB

You wonder why you can't lose weight when you're eating clean Monday through Friday and then going OFF THE RAILS on Saturday and Sunday! That's not how this works. Goals don't stop on the weekends. If you're serious about your weight loss and health, you commit to a healthy lifestyle ALL 7 DAYS OF THE WEEK. Often a time, we see people commit halfway to a healthy lifestyle. For some days, they are committed to eating real food, water, and sleep and exercising but fall off the rails during t...

Stop Apologizing!

November 11, 2020 12:00 - 31 minutes - 43.3 MB

People apologize for the wrong reasons! They apologize for how they're parenting, how messy their house is, and they apologize for their weight loss. They're acting SORRY that they're on a health journey, and it doesn't fit into the social norm. So they feel like they're putting others out, which is NOT TRUE! Chronic apologizing, even for things that you shouldn't be apologizing about, indicate a lack of confidence or insecurity. It is a bad habit that we all should eliminate from our live...

Blame Vs. Accountability - It's Much Easier To BLAME Than Take Responsibility

November 04, 2020 12:00 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MB

It's so much easier to blame your family, your job, COVID, your kids, etc... for you getting off track and NOT taking care of yourself. It's time to stop blaming and start taking responsibility for your own actions. Do you know why it's easier to give excuses than take responsibility for your circumstances? Yeah, taking responsibility is hard, and many people are unable to do it. However, if you need to succeed in anything, you have to do it. You simply have to take responsibility without ...

Don't Let Your AGE Dictate How Your Life Will Go

October 28, 2020 11:00 - 25 minutes - 35.4 MB

So many times, we hear people limit themselves in their weight loss or going back to college or competing in a sport, etc. because they think they're too "old." I've never seen someone NOT hit goal weight because of their age. So why are you letting your age hold you back from ANYTHING? In many areas of our lives, age is not a determining factor in whether we can SUCCEED at something or not, and is definitely not the case when it comes to weight loss. In the thousands of Code Red programs ...

Being around people that lift you up and make you better than you are is very important if you are trying to achieve something.

So many people are living life controlled by fear. The days turn into years and pretty soon, you find you have wasted your life because you were too afraid to step out. I want you to start living a BRAVER life! Do it AFRAID if you must. Often a time, fear is bigger in our minds that it is in actual life. Once we overcome our fears, we wonder why we were even afraid in the first place. What this fear does to us is that it not only robs us our opportunities but also messes our self-confidenc...
