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.

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.

Iâve been in this industry for over 30 years, and Iâve 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 âall 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 theyâre all out. Itâs understandable that if youâre 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.

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).

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 Iâm 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 donât 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.

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 donât really think about are the benefits of reaching their goals.
Put another way, our end goal isnât to lose weight or build muscle. Itâs 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, youâre not losing weight just to lose weight. Nobody WANTS to âlose weight.â
Youâre 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.
Iâm 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.

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 youâre 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 Lifestyleâą.
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 Lifestyleâą, no matter how out of control your life feels.

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.

I've been to Europe eleven times and traveled all over the world during my boxing career.
And one thing I saw over and over is that in most European countries (not all, but most), obesity is very rare.
One of my Certified Coaches recently asked me why that is. Meaning, why are Americans so much heavier than most Europeans?
Well, one reason is that Europe has banned most of the gross chemicals we pack into our foods (especially our processed foods).
They also don't do GMOs or add inflammatory seed oils to everything.
Even fast food restaurants like McDonald's have fewer ingredients and fewer chemicals in their "food."
But all that is just the tip of the iceberg.
In this podcast episode, I'm diving into the reasons most European countries are not as fat or sick as we are in the U.S.
The reason I'm focusing on most is an eating style known as grazing...including what it is and why it adds to our obesity and disease.
Tune into this episode for the full scoop on why grazing is the enemy. Plus, learn more about why most Europeans don't battle their weight like we do in the U.S.

Last month, I took Hazel to detection training school in Canada.
I did it because Hazel is a working dog. A Belgian Malinois.
Belgians are the most agile, heroic, and (potentially) lethal dog breed on the planet.
That's why law enforcement agencies use them as detection and apprehension dogs.
Hazel was too small and too sweet to officially work for law enforcement, which is one reason I decided to adopt her.
But she's still a Malinois, and she's not built to be a family pet...
Which is why I signed us up for detection training school...so I better understood how to give her what SHE needs, as a Malinois.
The detection class itself was really fun, but going to Canada was an expensive, exhausting pain in the butt in pretty much every way.
Seriously, there were plenty of reasons NOT to go...like the money (I spent thousands of dollars on the class, the travel, and the Airbnb I stayed at), like being gone from home for too long, and like having to get up at 4 AM to get my work done before the class started.
But I did it all anyway, and even though it really kicked my butt, I'm SO glad I did it.
Why?
Because I might not get the chance again.
What if the training company shuts down?
What if the world situation changed, and I couldn't fly to Canada?
What if my schedule got even fuller, and it got even MORE inconvenient to make the time?
I get how easy it is to justify postponing stuff because you assume you'll get another chance.
But as I share in this week podcast episode, one day you WON'T have the chance.
Tomorrow is not promised.
And if you keep waiting for "one day," you may "one day" yourself into missing out entirely...including the chance to be healthy, slim, and strong.
Tune into this episode for motivation to clean up your health NOW, while you still can.\

While I was in Calgary a few weeks back, I got coffee from the drive-thru of a coffee shop called Tim Horton's.
On the way out of the drive-thru, I spotted a sign that said, "See you tomorrow."
Not, "Have a nice day" or "Thank you for your business," but "See you tomorrow."
On the one hand, it's kinda brilliant. It plants this little seed that you should come back tomorrow, and does it in a subtle way so you don't feel like you're being told what to do.
But in some situations, getting someone to come back is one of the WORST things you can try to do.
And if you're a customer who keeps going back, you could be doing yourself more harm than good in these certain situations.
Watch this episode to find out why, including why and when YOU should think twice about "going back tomorrow."

There are three months out of the year when a higher than normal percentage of people try to lose weight.
It's interesting to see how many people mindlessly fall into the pattern of waiting until one of these three months.
So why is it even an issue?
Because when you wait for them (even if you don't realize that's what you're doing), you're programming yourself for failure...
Just like you are when you think you should wait until Monday, or until you're not on your monthly cycle, or until some other outside circumstance falls into place and life is perfect.
The reality is that you're ready when YOU decide you're ready.
When you get yourself to that point, nothing will stop you.
I know because I see it all the time.
To find out what these three biggest months for weight loss are, and more importantly, how to avoid the unconscious trap of thinking you should wait for one of them to get your weight and wellness under control, tune into this episode!

This weekâs episode is about how to avoid âsales at all costsâ companies that donât care about your success.
Hereâs an example of what I mean.
On July 7, a guy pulled out in front of me. I couldn't stop in time and T-boned him, leaving me without a vehicle.
I decided to buy a Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, as I'd always wanted a vehicle like that, and it's a good vehicle for summer.
I found one in Lake Tahoe, bought it, and made arrangements with a car transport company to drive it to me in Boise.
The transport company told me they'd get it to me in one to three days, and it would cost over $600.
đŹ Sheesh, but I agreed to their terms, because it might cost me that much to fly down there and drive it back myself.
Well, one day passed, and nothing.
Then two days passed. Still nothing.
I called them to make sure everything was going okay, and they said they were still looking for a driver.
They also suddenly clarified that when they said they'd get it to me in one to three days, they really meant they'd "try" to.
THEN they said, "If you really want your rig picked up, we can do a 'guaranteed' pick-up, but that will be double the price."
đĄ
They also told me it would be extra because my FJ40 had a winch on the front.
But here's the real kicker.
When they told me about their "guaranteed pick-up," they said they'd "give it the old college try."
Uh no. I ain't paying you $1500 for a "college try." It's either a guarantee or it's not.
I ended up paying someone local (and unaffiliated with this company) to drive down and get the FJ40 for me.
I was telling Andrea (Code Red's Director of Coaching) about all this, and she said, "Yeah, so many companies out there will do ANYTHING to make sales at all costs, even if it means destroying the long-term relationship with their customers."
THAT is exactly why you've gotta be careful about stuff that sounds too good to be true (like magic shots or gimmicks that promise you don't have to make any changes to get and keep the weight off).
Some companies have zero problem telling you whatever fantasy they think you wanna hear in order to get you to buy their crap.
There are plenty of GOOD companies out there, too.
Tune into this week's podcast for tips on how to tell the difference between the ones that care and the ones that donât.

Picture this.
You're following the program and doing well. Then you make a bad choice and set yourself back.
And instead of getting right back on track, you abandon the program entirely...because if you can't do it perfectly, you aren't gonna do it at all.
I see this mindset in a lot of people. It's called the all or nothing mindset, and it is NOT your friend.
Case in point: This week's podcast guest, Lory Stobart, lost 205 pounds in 18 months on the Code Red Lifestyleâą...
Which she NEVER would have done if she'd given in to the all or nothing mindset.
If you beat yourself up and quit when you make a mistake or a bad decision, tune into this episode and hear why leaving behind the "all or nothing mindset" is your ticket to FINALLY getting and keeping the weight off.

I talked to my cousin, Hannah, a few weeks ago at a family wedding and invited her onto my podcast as a guest...because she's a teacher and youth pastor who figured out how to make Code Red work for her.
Before she started Code Red, Hannahâs bones would crack when she got out of bed. She was in pain, and it was difficult to lift things and squeeze herself between the desks in her classroom.
Hannahâs journey with Code Red actually started after a dream she had last year (2023). In her dream she had lost all the weight she was carrying and became pregnant (fertility is part of her health journey).
Hannah told me the Lord gave her that dream...so when a friend encouraged her to care for her health, she decided to sign up for the Code Red Lifestyleâą.
She started on March 4, 2023, and says she's never looked back.
If you're a teacher, nurse, caregiver, or someone with any kind of crazy schedule who struggles to make Code Red work for you (or you flat-out think you can't make it work), tune into this episode to hear how Hannah committed to Code Red and made it work...even in spite of her doubts and insecurities around whether she could (or would) stick with it.
You'll also hear about Hannah's inner transformation, including how she went from people pleasing to confidently saying no (without hurting people's feelings).

Most people agree that sugar tastes good.
Yet most people don't know that "tasty sugar" is also a chronic, dose-dependent hepatotoxin.
Put another way, sugar is a liver toxin when you eat too much too often.
There's a safe threshold for sugar, just like there's a safe threshold for arsenic.
But most people in today's society eat WAAAAY above that safe threshold.
That's why, in this week's new podcast, I'm gonna tell you what happens when you STOP eating sugar.
So if you're eating sugar and you also struggle with:
Sugar cravings
Low energy/fatigue
Fatty liver
Vision problems (including vision correction)
A weak immune system
A bad (or declining) memory
Heart disease (or risk of heart disease)
Diabetes or pre-diabetes
Moodiness, anger, and/or anxiety
Brain fog
Intestinal issues like gas, bloating, and heartburn
Then tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle to learn what happens when you get off the sugar. It might be exactly what you need to finally free yourself from sugar's choke hold on your health.

Code red - For this episode, I'm sharing my answers to the top SIX most asked questions I've been getting this summer.
I got these questions from reading comments on my YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok channels.
Here are the six questions I'm gonna answer in the episode:
"How is Miles?" (Miles is my ex-husband. We were together for ten years.)
"Anything new happening for you, Cristy?"
How is Hazel?" (Hazel is my Belgian Malinois who turned two a couple months ago. She's featured in a lot of my content and is quite a character.)
"Why did you grow out your hair and change the color?""Why are you competing in bodybuilding again?"
"Are you SEEING anyone?"
Yep, these are all personal questions about me rather than about the Code Red program. (I've also done podcasts where I answer common Code Red program questions.)And, since so many people seem to wanna know the answers, I'm dedicating this episode to answering them.
If knowing the answers interests you, tune in to this episode to hear them!

A few months ago, Instagram suggested I start following a guy named Jake Thomas. I'd never heard of him, but when I saw that we followed a lot of the same people, ran in the same circles, and had a lot in common, I thought, "Why not?"
One thing Jake said that stuck with me was, âEvery day is day one.â
See, Jake grew up in New Orleans in a suburban family. He appeared âgoodâ on the outside and his family seemed âperfect"...but things were NOT good OR perfect.
Having no direction or purpose in his life, and while carrying a lot of suppressed emotional baggage he didn't know what to do with, Jake joined the Marines at age 17, where he found leadership, assertiveness, and mission.
But after he left the Marines, he lost all sense of identity. Even working in the oil fields and making plenty of money, he couldn't handle reality and escaped with booze and "pleasurable company." He also got fat and inflamed.
His turning point came at age 30, when he finally got fed up and asked himself, âDude! Where are you going? What are you doing?!â
Determined to clean up his act, Jake researched human physiology and discovered that what we eat impacts everything in our lives, including our mind and spirit.
Jake took control of his eating (he went carnivore) and adopted the same training style used in recruit training in the Marines, which is where "every day is day one" comes from.
The day recruits ARRIVE for training is day ZERO. The day they START is day ONE.
As Jake explains, it doesnât matter what you look like on day zero. When training starts on day one, itâs on. Everybody is the same on day one.
Jake also says that âThe single most effective thing we can do as human beings is controlling what we put in our mouth.â
Amen! And you can start doing that today, even if you've never done it a day in your life or you've gone back to your old ways.
Every day is day one, which means every day you can "start training" again.
For more motivation and encouragement to move beyond past choices, guilt, shame, and any other crud holding you back, tune into this episode of Rebel Weight Loss & Lifestyle, where I talk with Jake Thomas about why EVERY day is day one.

Exodus 14 of the Bible includes a famous story everyoneâs heard about: The parting of the Red Sea.
The Israelites were fleeing captivity and slavery in Egypt at the hands of Pharaoh.
With the Egyptian army closing in on them, the Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea with nowhere to go.
So God told Moses to stretch out his arm to part the waters...
BUT the waters didnât part until the children of Israel TOOK A STEP toward the Red Sea.
In the New Testament of the Bible, while Jesus was walking on water, he told Peter to take a step toward him - ON the water - to meet him.
These stories remind me that the first step is usually the hardest.
(Or, as we say in boxing, the first round is the hardest.)
For example, at the half-marathon most of my Coaches and I ran in Jackson Hole, Wyoming this year, that first mile was the hardest.
The first step is usually the scariest, too, no matter what you're doing...starting a business, going on a first date, or even starting the Code Red Lifestyleâą.
I wish more people understood that NOT taking that hard or scary first step is worse than the fear or difficulty of taking it.
Iâm not good at very many things, but I donât fear taking chances, because when I take a chance, I have a 50/50 chance of being right.
Sometimes Iâm right. Sometimes Iâm not. But I find out.
If I don't take a chance, on the other hand, I have a zero percent chance of being right.
Tune into this episode to find out why taking that first step and finding out if you're right is the key to an amazing, fulfilling life that you'll be proud of (and quite possibly, the key to getting and keeping your weight off).

If I had to pick someone to be stuck on a deserted island with (or even go through the apocalypse with), it would be a Code Red Rebel.
That's because we rebel against gimmicks and instead pick our hard and we do hard things.
We rebel against a society, a government, and an education system that brainwashed us to believe lies like:
You "have" to exercise to lose weight.
You "have" to eat low fat to lose fat.
You "have" to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.
You "have" to eat 9 to 11 servings of grain a day.That dogma has kept us sick and fat for over 70 years.
But a Code Red Rebel doesnât bend the knee to that narrative.
The Code Red Lifestyleâą is structured for more than safe, sustainable weight loss without gimmicks, shots, or exercise.
It's also structured to help you become anti-fragile in every way - physically, socially, and mentally.
That's why Code Red Rebels are tougher than your average bear. They're anti-fragile.
To hear more about being anti-fragile with Code Red, tune into this episode.
