Cristy ‘Code Red’ Nickel is the author of The Code Red Revolution.” She was a professional boxer and also landed a coaching role on MTV’s hit series “MADE.” She has written thousands of nutrition programs and has worked with clients from all over the world.

In this episode, Cristy ‘Code Red’ Nickel joins the show and reveals the top three biggest lies around weight loss:

  1. You have to exercise to lose weight. 
  2. You have to eat low fat to lose fat.
  3. You have to eat many little meals a day.

 

Mindset is everything. Cristy focuses 100% on mindset. She emphasizes having a strong why. “You have to have a why that makes you cry.”

 

Cristy explains how she takes time to help children understand the importance of healthy eating. Children are watching their parents all the time. If we educate our children and give them a choice on what they can eat, they will take more ownership over what is going into their bodies. 

 

Later, Cristy explains the story behind her nickname, ‘Code Red.’

 

Plus, Cristy describes the importance behind The Code Red Protocol & how it helps servicemen. Many first responders are overweight. The protocol is real food, water, and sleep. The responders have to go from zero to one-hundred in seconds. We need to take care of our cops, and Cristy’s protocol is the better way.

 

Erin asks Cristy about putting yourself last & not prioritizing yourself.

 

Stay tuned to hear Cristy describe the importance of sleep and The Code Red Revolution

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
