How can you live healthy long term? Eat less, move more, and follow the food pyramid, right? But the truth is, mainstream health advice is failing us, and it’s even costing people their lives. In this episode, Kerri Martin, a nurse practitioner with over 25 years experience, joins me to talk about the top four leading causes of death, what leads to them, and why most doctors don’t talk about the simple ways to prevent them.

Today, we’re breaking down why sugar is the root of these leading causes of death, the role of inflammation is destroying the body, and why so many people would rather take pills than make simple lifestyle changes. Kerri explains how diet affects your brain, how Alzheimer’s is now called “Type 3 Diabetes”, and the simple change that could help you prevent memory loss.

Acceptable Sins Dec 25, 2024

Show notes

This topic will probably make you squirm, but someone has to bring it up.

There's a lot of stuff in our society that's acceptable now that didn't used to be.

In some ways, that's a good thing. For example, it used to be unacceptable for women to vote, own property, or open a checking account without a man signing on. I'm glad that's not the case anymore in this country.

In other ways, though, we've become too accepting.

Just take a look at the state of our food. So much of it is processed and stuffed with rancid, disgusting seed oils and soaked in sugar, GMO soy, and American wheat. It's wreaking havoc on our health, and it's kinda old news that processed food is terrible for you.

Yet so many people keep eating copious amounts of the stuff and end up obese and sick in ways that are completely preventable.

Eating poisonous crap has become an acceptable sin.

Staying obese and sick when you could do something different has become an acceptable sin.

Even stuff like cheating on your spouse and lying on your taxes is more of an acceptable sin than ever.

Listen, none of us are perfect, and we've all got challenges and baggage and hangups to try and figure out.

At the same time, letting acceptable sins take over our lives isn't gonna serve us, our loved ones, or society as a whole.

In this week's episode, I'm diving deeper into acceptable sins and how to stop them from taking over before it’s too late.

This episode will help you identify the acceptable sins in your life and get fired up to start weeding them out.

So...NOW WHAT? Dec 18, 2024

Show notes

Ever hit a goal (maybe even goal weight) and find yourself asking, "Now what?"

If so, it's not just you. Most people are so focused on hitting a goal that they don't stop and think about what comes next.

That's not ALWAYS a bad thing, but at the same time, it also can be.

Take weight loss. If you don't have a plan for how you're gonna navigate life after you hit goal weight, you're probably gonna do what most people do: return to how you were eating before you lost the weight and gain it all back.

To make sure that doesn't happen to you, tune in to this episode and learn what to do when you hit your goal so that you actually KEEP the outcome you worked so hard to get.

BLACK ICE Dec 11, 2024

Show notes

Have many diets have you tried and failed?

If you're like most of us, probably too many to count, right?

When you try and fail and try and fail and try and fail, you reach a point where it's just too hard to care.

You'd rather stay miserable than get your hopes up, only to crash and burn, feel that devastating disappointment (again) and just end up back where you started (or even worse off).

There's a reason people generally follow me for eight months before they decide to try Code Red.

Some just don't believe it can be as simple as real food, water, and sleep.

Others believe Code Red works, but don’t believe it will work for them.

If you're struggling with your belief that it's possible for you to lose the weight and keep it off...either because you don't believe in Code Red yet, or you don't believe in YOU…then tune into this episode for help building your belief that yes, you CAN succeed.

3 DAYS OFF GRID Dec 04, 2024

Show notes

Finding time to take care of YOU and recharge your batteries (without derailing your progress) is tough for a lot of people.

You have a family, a partner, obligations, or maybe all three!

I have a high-maintenance dog to train and exercise, a business to run, employees to manage, and fitness to prioritize, minimum, so I get having a full plate.

I also get how easy it is to convince yourself that you "can't" make the time to recharge your batteries.

But after my bodybuilding competition last month, I moved some things around and spent three days off-grid, out in the woods.

Meaning, no cell service, no devices, nothing.

And I gotta say, those three days of (mostly) solitude taught me a lot about myself...my mind, my patience, how I think about my body, and more.

Being able to disconnect and really recharge my batteries drove home how critical it is to give yourself that rejuvenation time on a regular basis.

But how do you do that when your plate is full?

How do you justify it?

How do you give yourself permission to do it?

And what happens to the people who count on you if you dare to step away for a hot minute?

All that is what I'll cover in this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle.

If you're someone who wishes you had "you" time, but you either can't seem to get around to it, or you think it's just a luxury that's fine for others but not something you get to do, this is the episode for you.

High on your OWN SUPPLY Nov 27, 2024

Show notes

I heard a saying once that goes don't get high on your supply.

It comes from drug dealers who use their own drugs. They get high on their own supply.

Not a great situation, but don't get high on your own supply is a great metaphor for the dangers of complacency.

What I mean is, it's really easy to get complacent and think that because you do well at something, you don't have to remain vigilant. You can let your guard down and let the rules slip.

For weight loss, it might look something like this...

You get a program, you clean out your cupboards, and you're ready to hit the ground running.

And you do! For that first week, you blow it out of the water.

You think, "Wow!! This is amazing!"

And then, IF you're not careful, you start getting high on your own supply.

Meaning, you get complacent and decide that if you can lose that much weight in a week, you can fudge the rules a little, sneak in extra food, and still drop a ton of weight without as much sacrifice.

You let things slip a little more and a little more, and pretty soon you're not losing anything because you got high on your own supply.

Getting high on your own supply can happen to anyone. A new Rebel, a maintenance Rebel, a veteran Rebel - ANYONE (me included).

So in this episode, I'm gonna cut through your cheat voice's sweet-talking and give you the no-B.S. reality you need to identify when you're starting to get high on your own supply, PLUS how to hit the brakes so you can make your weight loss stick this time.
