Old Dog, New Tricks May 25, 2022

Show notes

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.

The Shocking Results of Getting Organized May 18, 2022

Show notes

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!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about adopting organizing strategies that benefit your physical and mental health.

Addicted To Being BUSY May 11, 2022

Show notes

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.

BURN THE BOATS May 04, 2022

Show notes

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!

Everyone Leaves Their Mark Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

In the grander scheme of things, we’re all uniquely gifted to serve a purpose – the best way we can positively impact others!

Basically, everything on earth (even the most mundane of things, like a rock or a shrub) was made to serve a purpose. We are no exception to this!

Some are called to become world-class performers and entertainers, teachers and coaches, or entrepreneurs and inventors. For others, it’s simpler (but NOT less important) like being a parent, a son or daughter, or a friend.

Each of our unique purposes are meant to contribute to a higher purpose: for all life to thrive and prosper!

In finding that purpose, you stand to gain the LIFE YOU TRULY DESIRE!

In CodeRed, we’re fortunate enough to be able to serve our communities as teachers who educate others about living a healthy lifestyle, and as warriors fighting against the plague that is obesity (and all diseases it entails).

Full disclosure!!!

None of us here knew exactly, from the very beginning, what our TRUE PURPOSE was.

We had to discover, learn, forget and relearn the things that make CodeRed a successful and worthwhile way of living.

In fact, we’re still looking for ways (Big AND Small) to improve the healthy lifestyle that we know and love today, so that we can continue serving our communities better, faster, stronger!

This is what it means to design and create our legacy, our way of denting the world!

This is how we get to enjoy happy and fulfilled lives!

What about you?

What’ve you been up to lately? How have you been making progress towards being a blessing to others?

Let’s talk about the things you can do to live the healthy, bountiful and purposeful life of your own design!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about proactively designing and creating your own legacy.

Do The Next Right Thing Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

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!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about working towards a better body and a better future by doing the next right thing!

Not Everyone Wants Your Help Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

People may not respond to one truth but may respond to another.

Put a frog in a steel pot with cool water and it’s going to stay there, almost still. Place the pot over the stove and turn up the heat. Seeing the frog’s predicament, you know it’s going to need your help, but that frog’s not going to try to get itself out until the water heats up to an uncomfortable temperature.

Isn’t that how it is with most people? We can see they're in dire need of losing excess weight, but until they start feeling the need to help themselves, they’re not going to want help.

No matter what you say, even the truth about obesity, if people choose not to hear you out, there’s just no convincing them!

We’re not asking you to give up on your loved ones, rather, we’re asking you to acknowledge that there are other truths that may garner positive responses…

Like the truth about needing time and space to figure things out for themselves. Or the truth that there’s someone else better suited to help them. And so, we offer them these!

In the meantime, we keep sowing seeds of truth that we pray will grow into realizations, until they blossom into actions toward taking their lives back!

While you’re at it, why don’t you expand your garden and sow more seeds in other places, in other people.

They’re not all going to blossom all at the same time, so focus your efforts on buds that have opened up and are now willing to accept your help, so that they can start towards the healthy life they ought to have!

Some of you have taken your sweet time but…

Are you finally ready to take your life back? Let’s talk about it and get you that healthy body you deserve!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about speaking the truth about health and weight loss, and helping those who choose to help themselves take their lives back!

It Doesn't Matter What You Know Apr 06, 2022

Show notes

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!

Everyone envisions themselves having taken their lives back. Knowledge is the map and taking action will get you to the healthy life you deserve.

Now, you know what you have to do…so let’s start DOING!

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about putting your knowledge to practice, doing what needs to be done to take your life back!

The First Round Is Always The Hardest Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

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.

Out With The Old Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

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!
