Rejecting What Is "Normal" Mar 16, 2022

Show notes

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.

Tune in to this week's episode to learn more about putting the needs of your body above the need to follow the norm, and doing the things that benefit a long, happy, and healthy life.

Where The Rubber Meets The Road Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

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?

Let’s talk about getting you up to speed on crucial info on health and lifestyle and launch you towards a direction of BETTER!

Warning Your Future Self Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

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.

I'll be happy when... Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

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.

A Road with No Exit... Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

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.

3 Things I Would Tell My Teenage Self Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

“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!

It’s Okay to Not be Okay. Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

“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.

It Never Gets Easier Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

“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!
