and is my man, Daniel Rass. We're gonna bring him
up right now, Daniel, how are you doing today?

Speaker 7 (02:36):
I'm doing fantastic. I'm excited to be here.

Speaker 6 (02:39):
I had the pleasure of running into his content on Twitter.
You know, Daniel and I have been you know, exchanging
you know, tweets and messages for quite a while, you know.
And it's my fault, guys, you know, uh that he
should have been on this show a long time ago,
because his story is incredible. This information with him anywhere,
and you know, became more more confident. So I'll let

(03:01):
you kind of speak on dead Danie or like, like,
what made your fuse to get involved in this battle
against obese?

Speaker 7 (03:09):
Definitely?

Speaker 8 (03:09):
So firstly, when I arrived to China in two thousand
and four, it's extremely different than what it is now.
Because now it is extremely watternized. But like you said,
those McDonald's and hardcourture Andese food, and what many Americans
don't understand is that Chinese food in China is very
different than Chinese food in America. It's not Pande Express,

(03:31):
it's not the Chinatown that you go to.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
It's extremely different.

Speaker 8 (03:36):
It's exactly what you imagine the movies, those dogs hanging
upside down with the skin peeled. There was al sort
of animals that I didn't even know people ate, So
this was just doesn't four in Fave two thirty six.
It was not worsenized at all, so much so that
they've never seen a non Chinese person. I was actually

(03:58):
a child model for the first couple of because I
was so unique. I stood out so much from everyone else.
So that's what Chane was like. And as you mentioned
other McDonald's, I did not eat anything because I was
extremely picky eating. But at the age of welf, my
brother convinced me that if I wanted to get birth

(04:20):
playing basketball, I have to eat healthy. And that was
pretty much any die except what I was doing. So
because I started playing basketball and I wanted to improve,
I tried new foods, and I ever remember the first
time I tried grill chrees. I tried a banana anything
that wasn't chicken nuggets. I remember trying it out. I
was that piaky of an eatal. So I definitely believe

(04:42):
anyone can explain that drastically. So, as you mentioned, I
started getting more to nutrition. I stopped eating complete drunk,
and I was still not in the best ship. I
was playing basketball, but I wasn't like muscular and confident
in my body. But I started lifting weight to started

(05:03):
spending more time in the gym, and I realized that
I took my body with me every where I went.
It was a much more transferable skill because unless there
was a basketball in my hand, I couldn't show off
that skill, but I could show off or look good
everywhere I went. So the confidence is translated, and yeah,

(05:24):
that encourges me to become a personal trainer. I went
to university in Canada for extra nutrition to at first
be a physiotherapist, but I decided I'd rather be a
personal trainer. Walked in a few gyms then. I'm sure Richard,
a few people in your audience have heard. In twenty
twenty there was a lockdown thing going on, so changed

(05:48):
my plan, and that is when I started doing online coaching.
And the reason why I decided to work with people
that are three hundred pounds and give them two one
pounds without going to the gym is because I don't
know about your audience. But in twenty twenty, when everything
shut down, I personally was not prepared at all. I

(06:10):
didn't have any dumbles, I didn't have any bands. I
didn't know this was going to happen. I didn't know
this was going to happen for as long as it did,
so all of a sudden, I could not go to
the gym. However, because I had over a decade of experience,
I still was able to get myself in phenomenal shape
to get great results because.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
I knew what to do.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
And a metaphor I like to use is good and
Ramsey the chef can make a burden mill with one pan,
then the average person can with five pans, because it's
not about how much equipment you have, it's about knowing
what to do. Because I knew what to do, I
was able to get great results at home, and I
realized that many people that hate going to the gym.

(06:52):
The people that often need the most help hate going
to the gym. So that is why I decided to
help people who need the most, people that will run
through n pounds lose work without going with the gym,
because I know it's possible, right.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
How do you how do you start that conversation? You know,
you have a lot of people, Unfortunately, there are a
lot of people who have good intentions. They want to
lose the weight, but they don't have the drive, they
don't have the motivation, they don't have the will power.

Speaker 9 (07:23):
You know.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
It's kind of like, you know, you have people that that,
to use an analogy, uh, they want to go shopping
at Louis Bauton, but they have Walmart mentality going. You know,
So how do you get that out of someone?

Speaker 8 (07:38):
You know, as a coach, that's an excellent question because,
as we all know, in January first, people that have
neglected exercise in any healthy for months all of a
sudden say I'm going to walk out in the gym
two hours every single day, I drink two gowns of
water at least nothing but banana's a lected for the

(08:00):
next year. That's the plan, And obviously they don't stick
with it. That is impossible, that is achieving way too high.

Speaker 7 (08:09):
I take the opposite approach.

Speaker 8 (08:11):
I say, let's start with what I call the easy wins,
things that take minimal time, minimal effort, but still move
the needle in the direction you want it to. And
when you see momentum, then you want to continue. Because
I believe people don't lack motivation, they lack tangible results.

Speaker 7 (08:30):
When you see the scale go down week after.

Speaker 8 (08:32):
Week after week, when you see your close fit better
every single week, you want to continue. And that is
how I'm able to convert external motivation to interl motivation,
because watching motivational videos only last so long. But when
you're able to develop intern motivation inside of you, then

(08:52):
you look forward to it and doesn't matter what happens,
you are able to continue.

Speaker 7 (08:57):
You're able to overcome many obstacles that might come your way.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
Right And you know, I've you know, for those of
you have been following the show for a while, I've
ranted about this this topic so many times, and I'm
glad that you mentioned that, because there's a difference between
having a resolution and a revolution. A resolution means, hey,
you know, I have a thought, I have an idea,
this is what I want to do. A revolution is

(09:28):
a change of the entire process. It's a shift in mindset,
it's a shift in focus, it's a shift in lifestyle
and in order to accomplish a goal and sustain it,
because you get you have people that lose weight all
the time and they go right back because they had
their resolution, they accomplished their goal, and then that was it.

(09:48):
They didn't have anything affagage. So how do you keep
someone on track? You know, you have people that you got,
you know, to the finish life. How do you keep
them there?

Speaker 8 (09:58):
It's all about, as you mentioned, making a lap style
change rather than falling a particular diet. Because if you
want to lose twenty pounds, you can do vegan, you
can do a kid do, you can do it too,
matter fast thing, you can do anything. But like you mentioned,
oftentimes after ninety days people lose twenty pounds, then they
get it all back. But if you make a lifestyle change,

(10:20):
then you're able to lose one hundred pounds and keep
it off for good. And make a lifestyle change is
changing who you are as a person. It doesn't matter
what country you put me in, I can always drive
from point A to povet B.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
Because I have the skills, I have a job, a license.
I can drive any world.

Speaker 8 (10:39):
Even though some countries might have different rules. Some countries
it's more chaotic to drive. I can still get it done.
And that's the difference between having the skills and having
a shoe full having a taxi drive you. Because if
you have somebody to drive you, if you have somebody
do it for you and you don't develop the skills,
then as soon as you're a different place, you can't

(11:02):
get those what you want.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
H So talk to me about the importance of having
a good coach, having a coach and a support system
as it pertains to this wellness journey.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
One hundred percent our goods.

Speaker 8 (11:15):
Boxer is arrogating thinks I don't need a coach, I
can do it on my own. Mike Tyson says all
his success is due to his coach. Same thing with
Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, name any of your favorite athletes.
They would put a lot of emphasis and a lot
of the success due to coaches. Coaches make all the

(11:38):
difference because just like a Java license could have I
taught myself how to drive on my own without any help.
I mean maybe it would have definitely taken a lot
longer out of public creation and got injured along the way.
Samething with fitness. Could you do it on your own? Yeah,
but if you get injured, what uh of the consequence

(12:02):
of that?

Speaker 7 (12:02):
How much more would it set you back?

Speaker 8 (12:04):
So you can figure out anything on your own, you
don't need to go to school, you don't need to
talk to anyone. You can row your own forward. You
can do everything on your own, but you won't have
nearly as much success. Your life won't be nearly as good.
You won't be able to rip the rewards of the
pleasures of life as if you help out other people

(12:26):
and you pay for other people to help you out.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
Wellness is big business is big money. There's a lot
of company There are a lot of companies out there
that have very little or no intentions of you being
healthy because they don't have a they don't have a
vested financial interest in your health. If you live longer,
if you live healthier, if you don't eat ultral processed foods,

(12:51):
there are companies that lose money when you eat healthier.
There are companies that when you don't go to the
drive through. In order that number three with the supersize
faris and the supersize drink, their profit LIVEE shrinks. So
how do you help people to decipher a fat from fixtion,
fat from fact?

Speaker 8 (13:12):
Right, so quickly, I want to touch on a point
that you made that whenever you want to know who
to trust and what to spend your money on, ask
how do they make the most money? How do they
profit the most? Because when you buy a work class
pill or some sort of pharmacy medication, they make the

(13:35):
most money by you continue being on the pill and
getting more of it. Even if you look at I
used to be in person personal trainer. How do most
gyms make money? Most gyms make money by you signing
up and you're not going to the gym because they
count on the fact that aged nine percent of the

(13:55):
people that sign up don't go more than once in
mone That's what they hope for. That is the business model.
That's how they survive, that's how they thrive. And if
you look at not just if you look at any
fitness courts, that's the public that has a face that's
not a brand, but as a real person. They make
the most money by having the mostmoniums so you're getting

(14:19):
best results. Is they have more invested interest, because that's
how they make the more money, most money. Just like
a big farmer, I also want to profit the most. However,
how they profit the most is you being in warship.
How I profit the most happens to me you being
in the best ship because they want more refers more
a stimonials. So I just wanted to touch on that.

(14:41):
But to answer your previous question about how I get
people to do this is look at it from a
more sustainable approach. The goal isn't to look good for
an Instagram picture in ninety days. The pont is to
sustainably lose the weight and keep it off for the
next decade. And you do that by following something that

(15:05):
you can do over the next decade. If you can
stick with a diet for a decade, there's no point
you can do before a day. So I believe if
a dad has a name, it's probably not sustainable. Cato
Vigan to mil faster than you can name it. Those
who walk great for some people for a short period
of time, but for most people you can sustain it
over the long term.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
Absolutely can you talk to me about you know, how
important is hydration and what are some ways that you
know we can stay properly hydrated.

Speaker 8 (15:33):
That's a great question because three out of four American
adults are chronically dehydrated, cause them to look and film bloated,
have less energy, have more headaches, a bunch of bad things.
And I always say, have a water bottle within I
was rich at all times. It's super beneficial. That is
one of the many easy wins. It doesn't really take time,

(15:55):
doesn't really take effort, but it moves the middle in
your favor because the more hydrated you are, less hunger
you other, less likely you're to bringe your junk food. Now,
if you forget to always have a water bottle with
arms reach, you can also have three different water bottles
in the three locations you spend the most time in,
so that can be the cub, the office, the living

(16:17):
room as an example.

Speaker 7 (16:19):
And that way you always have a water bottle close by.

Speaker 8 (16:21):
So it's difficult to forget because if I'm working on
a project and I have to walk thirty seconds to
take a water bottle, I probably wouldn't do it. But
if I just have to reach, it makes it a
lot easier to stay hydrated. Another thing to do is
drink from a straw instead of like a bottle, and
honestly try different bottles. As way that sounds some bottles,

(16:47):
it's just easier to drink water from.

Speaker 7 (16:48):
You just want to drink water, even though water tastes
like water. Different bottles make you create more water.

Speaker 8 (16:55):
Than other bottles, So keep trying it out. And probably
the best trip to stay hydrated is to just not
even drink water, but consume foods or drinks that have
a lot of.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
Water in them.

Speaker 8 (17:08):
Water, tea, soda, and by soda, I don't mean like coke,
I mean Sprite seven up and spotting water.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
And you have that.

Speaker 8 (17:20):
You can get soup, especially if you're in a cold,
cold country. Soup is basically water, vegetables and meat fantastic choice,
so you can always get soup and get far. You
can get tea any of that, and also fruits. Something
that I have tried three weeks ago that I've never

(17:40):
tried before but now I'm in love with it is papaya.
I think it's richt and I'm in a tropical pace,
so they have a lot of papaya, but also watermelon,
Cucumboo's melon, cantalope. All of those have a lot of
water in them. Blueberries have a lot of water in them,
So just eat a bunch of those, and that will

(18:03):
not only fill you up, but it's a lot easier
to remain hydrated. A whole papyre, which is bigger than
your face, is one hundred and twenty cavities, tastes phenomenal,
and you can.

Speaker 7 (18:17):
It makes you feel fool.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
So if you eat that, you don't even have to
worry about trying to limit how much you eat. It
is as much propire as you want, as an example,
or blueberrize or watermelon or cant look, whatever you like.
It is much of that as you like, and then
you don't have to worry about fagraation, and you don't
have to worry about overeating because you'll feel full throughout
the day.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
Absolutely, we are gonna take a quick water break, speaking
up hydration. We're gonna take a water break. We're gonna
come back to this conversation. For those of you that
are tuning in to our radio networks one on two
point five, one on six point five KCAA. The station
at leaves no listening behind fifteen eighty, the Phonetic and
as well as the WCKG and LEO. We'll be right

(19:01):
back after this. For those of you that a love
stay tuned, don't go anywhere. We'll still hear you listened
to tackle ABISTI shield.

Speaker 10 (19:07):
For over seventy five years, the Marine Toys for Tots
program has provided toys and emotional support to economically disadvantaged children,
primarily during the holidays. But needs are not just seasonal,
and now neither is Toys for Tots. They've expanded their
outreach to support families in need all year long with
their new programs, including the Foster Care Initiative, giving toys

(19:31):
and tangible items for children to move with inspiring hope
for a brighter future. The Native American program has grown
to benefit over two hundred thousand children annually, providing toys
and books to participating reservations, and the Youth Ambassador Program,
a select group of our nation's youth children helping children

(19:52):
going above and beyond to raise peer awareness and encourage
local community support on behalf of Toys for Tots. To
learn more about how you can help, visit Toys for
Tots dot org and help bring hope to a child's future.

Speaker 11 (20:09):
The NFL Alumni Tackle Obesity program serves our members and
the public with free training on how to tackle our obesity.
We know most of America struggles with lifestyle and food
choices that result in added weight. That weight impacts our wellness. Today,
we have many options to address this condition. Most importantly,

(20:30):
as we adjust our lifestyle and our food choices, the
benefits to our wellness are rapid. By learning new habits,
we can prevent diabetes, reduce heart disease risk, and enhance
our overall well being. By getting control of the food
choices we make, along with learning ways to avoid foods
that damage our bodies, we can tackle obesity. For more information,

(20:54):
go to tackleobesity dot com. Remember obesity is a medical condition,
not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and
join our team, and.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
We are back here on Tackle of bc UH. We
are so grateful to have all of you and to
join us here with our new teammate, mister Daniel rass So.
One of the things I do want to touch touch
on is understanding what wellness is and those I said
wellness not weight, because weight is I think of it

(21:30):
like this, I think of weight is like how much
gas you have in the tank of your car, which
is fine if your if your gas needle is on full.
What about if the battery lights on, the check engine
lights on, your car is overheating, uh, the front passenger
the lightbulb is out, and that light is on, your
brake lights are on. So there there are metrics. There's

(21:52):
a dashboard of different things that tell you. These are indicators.
You know, for those of you who are drive around
in your car their service engine lighting on, it's not
a decoration. Your car is trying to tell you that
something's wrong. Your body does the same thing in subtle
ways or sometimes not so sort of ways. So what
are some things that you coach your clients on other

(22:16):
than weight that they should be looking at as factors
for their willness.

Speaker 8 (22:21):
That's a great question, because you can smoke crack and
Jack cole and you'll like to lose a bunch of
weight because you'll be a drafted addict and all of
them are extremely strongy and they look like skeletons.

Speaker 7 (22:35):
That's not goal. There goes to be healthy.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
Now.

Speaker 8 (22:38):
Oftentimes the first step is to simply lose weight, because
after that you are able to do a lot more
when as you mentioned, it doesn't matter if you have
your engine light on or you have a broken mirror.
If you have no gas, then you can't even dravet
the color. You can't do anything. So you have to

(23:00):
That's the first thing, but it doesn't mean anything. This
is the first thing that you should tackle. But a
big reason why my counts don't just lose weight, but
they also experienced a bunch of benefits internally that they
didn't even think about. Get off SEPAP, get off medications.
Have a lot more energy, so always half the closet
because nothing fits anymore, have less allergies. A lot of

(23:23):
people say that they sweat a lot less. They used
to always be hot, iven I through sixty degrees. Now
they lost ninety five pounds. They're not always sweating, right,
so they can fit boot on the plane or in
roller coaster ride or in curse. So many things that
people don't even think about unless they actually experienced it.

(23:44):
People say that people treat them differently at walk and
even strangers when they meet them. Right, there's so many
other benefits, and as you mentioned, it's not about losing weight,
but doing it in a healthy way. So big concept
I like to durn to my client's head is that

(24:05):
diet is about a healthy diet is about expending how
much food you eat, not diminishing, because it's not about
eating less food you enjoy. It's about finding new foods
that you enjoy. As I mentioned earlier, I've never tried
papaya up until three weeks ago.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Now I love it. Now it's a staple.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
So if every couple of weeks you try a new
food that you've never tried before, a new fruit of
vegetables or fish as an example, then eventually you find
more foods that you enjoy and that are healthy and tasty,
and you add them to your arsenal. And that way,
instead of eating less foods that you enjoy, you expand

(24:46):
the amount of health and tasty foods that you have.
And if you keep on expanding it, then you have
a lot of options of health and tasty foods. And
if you that aiding option of the time, then losing
weight and being healthy it becomes.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
A lot easier.

Speaker 6 (25:01):
Absolutely, it is so important to understand understand the numbers.
One of the examples that I think of is Dwayne
Johnston aka The Rock, the popular movie star wrestler, whatever
you want to call them. If you based on BMI alone,
he's morbidly obese. I think it's pretty fair to say
that's not the case. The eyeball test really tells us

(25:24):
that he's not morbally obese. But that's an example of
why you don't look at just one thing, why you
don't just look at Wait, why you don't just look
at BMI. You have to look at the entire dashboard
to see how the car is running. And that is
just a great piece of information that you grave gave there.
You've provided us with so many wonderful tools and resources.

(25:46):
So if for those that are listening or watching, if
they want to reach out to you, coach Daniel, how

He's also on YouTube. It's called the Success Fitness Podcast.
And his name is Christian Evans, and I'm gonna bring
him in there. Miss Christian, how are you doing today?

Speaker 9 (29:37):
I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. How are you? I
do a great, brother. It is so great to have you.
We are so happy to have you on the Tackle
of Vcity Tech. I appreciate it. I appreciate there each other. Okay,
so tell all. I followed about you.

Speaker 6 (29:52):
And your background, like what got you ignited and interested
in getting into the wildness gap.

Speaker 9 (30:00):
Well, in twenty thirteen, I began I would say, kind
of loosely researching different diet plays, different ways to improve
my health. I've always worked out, but I just never
had my diet together. I would, you know, lose twenty
pounds put twenty two back on the next couple weeks,

(30:20):
you know, the yo yo thing, right me? And one
day I just sat down, was watching just various TV
shows and something finally made sense. It clicked and I said,
you know what, let me go ahead and try this.
And you know, I tried it. Ten months later, I
ended up losing one hundred and eighty seven pounds. From there,

(30:45):
I began sharing my story of you know, how I
did it, Why I did it? Where, you know, who, what, when?

Speaker 6 (30:52):
Where?

Speaker 9 (30:52):
How? Why?

Speaker 6 (30:53):
You know?

Speaker 9 (30:54):
And I started a blog website or blog website. Even
to this I still don't necessarily know how to identify it,
so I just call it a block site. Or I
would document to what, when, where, how and why because
I would get questions you know, similar to this one
that I'm answering, and I would write it out, you know.

(31:14):
Or I would record videos, so video tutorials about you
know how I did it and you know what I
did far as you know, workouts, diets, and you know,
food meal prepatorials, you know, just the whole gambit, you know,
whatever my life was at that time, I put a
camera to my face and whatever I was doing and

(31:35):
then posted it, you know, and went far as from there.
Eventually I ended up starting a podcast because writing and
on the blocks I took a little bit too much
time for me, so it was better off for me
to just talk, you know, to talk in a microphone.
I was doing that. I ended up becoming a certified

(31:56):
personal trainer kind of by accident. And just with all
that just being said, you know here I am pretty
much right now, so super you know, fast forward. So
this has been going on for let's say, let's say
ten years, you know, since twenty fourteen. So from twenty thirteen,
ten months later in May, I had my goal weight

(32:18):
and then from there, you know, began you know, my blog.
As far as from there, similar to what happened with you,
I was legit maybe like two months out from making
my blog go live or whatever, and my first my
car went out. My engine. My engine was lived on

(32:40):
the expressway.

Speaker 13 (32:41):
Man.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
It was December maybe like a week or so before
my birthday, and I was like maybe a mile out
from the exit to go to my house and my
engine just went out. So that was one. So I'm like, okay,
at least I got my blog to kind of work
on to get my mind off of that. Then maybe
that same week, my computer, my laptop finally went up,

(33:02):
and oh I had to put like everything on the old,
everything on the old for an entire year, for an
entire year. So I wanted to release it in like
twenty fifteen blog, but I ended up having to like
take a year off, and you know, that gave me
time to rethink how I wanted to approach it and
you know, revamp some things, you know, And so from

(33:26):
there that's when you know, my blog was released and
you know, with public, and you know, that was fun.
And then it ended up evolving into the podcast. And
at first it was called the Christians Weight Success but
uh yeah, the Christian's Wage Success Podcast. But again things change,
we all evolved, and I began noticing that it was

(33:48):
too personal. It was too personal fires for me because
that was what my blog site was called Christian's Weight
Success dot net and I wanted to be more communal,
more more more community. So I ended up changing it
maybe about almost going on about two years to the
Success Fitness podcast. So I still record workout tutorials, meal

(34:12):
prep tutorials, I'm still a personal trainer, and you know,
I'm all just I'm trying to have more fun, so
more fun with with all of it.

Speaker 6 (34:23):
And now you're a coach on the tackle of PCT.
How about that, Yes, sir, appreciate it. Appreciate it question
for you coach because and you you you kind of
touched on this with your own journey. So how are
we as you know, people that are in the journey,
in the in this movement, how do we separate the
facts from the fad?

Speaker 9 (34:43):
You know what? To answer the question, you know, we
live in this information agent. To me, it seems like
nobody wants to do the research or there is or
are those who do not want to do the research
for themselves. And that's kind of scary being forty two

(35:05):
and understanding how the world works right now and realizing
how it's been working and you can kind of see
the trajectory of where it can will or may go.
You have to do your own due diligence right because
there are a lot of sensationalized things that are out
there right now, to get your eyes on it, to

(35:27):
get your fingers to click on it, to get your
ears to hear it, and you have to pray for discernment.
You understand. I made a tweet earlier today. It's like,
you know, how do we get to a point where adults,
we're so comfortable letting everybody know we don't or can't read.

(35:48):
You know, I'm seeing a lot of sensationalized, let's say headlines.
Which is the media's job to make the headlines look
like that? And how is it that you can just
run with that headline without clicking that little link right
there if it's provided, and if it's not, why won't
you do your own research? So to answer the question

(36:11):
is you have to do your own research. You have
to do your own research and don't go with the
first article that is on Google or Duck that go
wherever you got. And we live in this information agent.
We all have these phones, we all we all have
you know, the access to it. You understand what I'm saying,
But it's really telling when we choose not to. So,

(36:37):
in the words of Kanye slavery is a choice. You
understand what I'm saying. So when you have the access
to the information. You're choosing to not educate yourself to
become free, to become more liberated than what you are.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
Now.

Speaker 9 (36:54):
Does it take time? It does? You know, will there
be some confusion in there, yes, But this is where
you constantly research and you update. There has been a
lot of things that I've read yesterday and it's changed today.
And I'm okay with that because when time comes evolution
and evolution of information, I think we want absolutes, and

(37:18):
that's fine too, but we have to realize what is
an absolute? You know, when there's anything ever been an
absolute other than taxes and energy, you know what I'm saying.
And so, you know, with that being said, the overall history,
when it comes to let's say nutrition, diets, workouts or whatever,

(37:38):
they've always evolved and be okay with that, you know,
be okay with that. So with that evolution, it says, okay,
well let me double check, let me just just check.
You know, we can have skepticism or speculations on certain things,
but not you know, when it comes to the diet.
You know, it's people picking shoes when they want to

(37:59):
be so or you know, optimistic on certain things. But
then when it comes to what you should as an
individual be responsible for for your own health and well being,
we tend to stop. And I don't have an answer
for that. It's just an observation that I've just recently

(38:20):
kind of learned to articulate because it's been, uh, you know,
it's just it's just been you know, a funny, funny time,
and I'm sitting back and I'm learning to try to
not to respond to things immediately initially without doing some
form of due diligence. Without some form of due diligence.
Have I pulled the trigger and ask questions later? Yeah, yeah,

(38:45):
I have. But I also can admit that when I
did that, I was wrong, you know what I mean?
Or hey, I stay in corrected, you know, based on
recent findings or based on updated information, here is my
new outlook on that. Okay? With that, you know, there
are those who just want to be right regardless, and

(39:06):
that chade to do that is very scary, you know
what I mean. Like, nobody can tell you anything different,
nobody can offer you an additional point of view on
how you know your view or your stance could either
change or honestly just be more solid. But it's just
that refusal to accept too, you know, entertain an additional

(39:27):
point of view other than yours. So with with all
that being said, people have to do their own due
diligence and research things themselves. You know, we're too old
to be solely dependent on somebody else. You know, you
understand what I'm saying. That all has to be a
collective and don't be afraid to reach out for help too.
That's absolutely, that's critical, just to reach out for everybody

(39:51):
needs help. Everybody should have a help, a mentor a sage,
a guide or whatever. And I think once one can,
let's say, accept that, then they can be successful as
the other person who's had success at let's say within
their fitness journey, right, and you will realize the people

(40:13):
who've had success in their fitness journey, their secret is
ninety I will say. I say ninety of the time
is that they've had help, They've had a guide, they've
asked some type of some type of north star, some
type of compass. You understand, right, I'm saying. And once

(40:35):
one realized that is what it will take, then they
can become more successful in their fitness journey. Absolutely, and
coach you just.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
You just saw hired man answer one of the questions
why you had a chance to answer, you know, take
us through it, because I want everyone to hear this
and not just for me. Take us through that mental
journey where you go from having a voice and you
put content out there, you put information out there, you
don't hear back for a while, and like, hey, is
this worked? When it like how do you how do

(41:04):
you as a host deal with that struggle of putting
information out there and not receiving feedback.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
You asked a very interesting question and maybe long winning
on it, but you know, I feel like Kevin Hart
on Drink Champs. He said that, and I'm gonna say it.
It's when you asked, how do how did I deal
with it? It's sounds like in past tense and I
will update it's how do I deal with it? Because
I'm currently going through it and it's like ongoing, right,

(41:34):
It's ongoing. And it reminds me of the Kanye weston
Kobe Bryant commercial when you know, Kanye is saying, you know, hey,
I'm the best wrapper out and Kobe's like more, you know,
I've sold this and Kobe saying more, you know, I
did this and Kobe saying more, and it's that kind
of thought process where Kanye is figuring out It's like, well,

(41:56):
I've done what I feel that I could do, and
it's this realization that there's always more, There's always more,
you know. That's one side to it. Then the other
side to it can be is you know not good enough?

Speaker 8 (42:11):
Right?

Speaker 9 (42:11):
Is this content good enough? Was it not good enough?
How do I judge that? What is my what is
my basis? You know to do this? What is what's
my why? And these questions constantly go on, These questions
constantly going on and on and on, you know, in

(42:32):
your head, and you just you just you just keep going,
you know, you just keep going. There are times to
where when I am feeling like that and versus spreading
let's say that vibe, that negative vibe, I just won't
post or I just won't record. My last podcast Full
of Transparency was maybe about three or four weeks ago

(42:53):
because I kind of going through this phase to where
I'm asking myself again, what's my why? You know, what
am I doing this for? And your return on investment?
And if your return on investment, you know, is financial
because we all have to take care of ourselves. This
illusion that content creator should not be compensated financially is

(43:18):
insane to me, you know, because it's the amount of
work that goes in this software that we're using. You
have to answer the white question twice yes, answered for
yourself and for you yes. And if you can connect
your why to everybody else's why, I believe that's where

(43:41):
the community could come in. And your community can help
you out too, because you're just human too, you know,
just because we put a camera in our face, as
I mean, we're perfect, you know what I mean. It's
just that we have a voice that we're you know,
we're putting things out there, you know what I mean.
I do better at I do better at talking in
action versus typing and texting to me, you know, and

(44:06):
it's like, hey, why is this happening? Well, why is
this happening? Or hey, this is how I feel, you know,
what is this? And I've had my community reach out
to me and box me say hey, Christian, you know,
look at it this way or look at it that way.
And I have to be open even though it's not
my thought, it's somebody else's thought from the outside looking

(44:26):
in there's a lot of times as content creators, we
are on the inside looking out, and we are so
attached to it. Everything that we make, we're so attached
to it. And there came a time to win. I
had to learn to do to detach myself so much
from my content, and I begin to having a lot
more fun to it because there is a psychological game
you do have to play. There are questions posts that

(44:50):
I put out and I'm not one hundred percent committed
to it, and it's the illusion that I could be,
you know what I mean, And that necessarily isn't it.
It's just, hey, I may be looking for engagement, so
I may call it trolling.

Speaker 6 (45:05):
But those of you that are listening to the radio
broadcast or on the podcast platform, go to tackle OBC
dot com website TACKLEBC dot com and then you will
see coach Christians page.

Speaker 9 (45:16):

You can also drop us a question get it to
them again. This is a two way dialogue, and this
is where we're going with that question. It's not just us.

Speaker 9 (45:25):
Talking, it's the feedback.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Then we get you at Drysus, this machine that keeps
this thing nord and I just want to say thank
you to so much all you guys that have reached

people to put you until you your journey has to
look a certain way. No they're comparing you to that
old vergeon. That old vigon is dead. We walked out

right now, what do you need to see right now?

But I will not be boxed to learn more about
the NFL alumni's ongoing commitment to our community, and kids
go to tackle Obesity dot com locker room with Footy
Stay Fit Kevin Bell.

Speaker 15 (47:09):
Little by little, your uniform starts to get a little tighter,
and I'm like, oh man, you know what's going on here?

Speaker 16 (47:16):
The way I look, the way I feel in the
uniform is like I didn't feel right. I didn't feel good.
I didn't look good, and it's bad. You know, it's
it's not a good look. It's it's not good for
the community, for anywhere youre are. You know, there was
moments of weakness. There was moments of.

Speaker 15 (47:32):
Anxiety of depression where I would go to work and
I wouldn't even want to be there because I didn't
want to be seen. I knew I had to make
a change. It was an eye opener for me. That's
why I made, you know, that decision to start focusing
on myself getting healthier, getting better, and basically living better.

Speaker 5 (47:52):
Remember, obesity is a medical condition, not a character flaw.
To learn more about the NFL alumni is ongoing commitment
to our community and kids, go to tackle obesity dot com.

Speaker 6 (48:05):
Yeah, we are back on the Tackle Obesity podcast again.
Thank you so much to all of our teammates for
just contributing so much to this movement. It is just
truly truly an are to be here for year week again.
If you have questions, starts, comments, feel free to share
them with you. This is this is a team goal here.
Here's your overall perspective on you know, how do we

(48:28):
change the stigma of the obesity, address the obesity crisis
in the African American community because the statistics are dispportunate,
impacts us more to thedy of the community. And then
the second thing, the second part of that question is
you know, what are your thoughts on the use of
injectable medications.

Speaker 9 (48:48):
I think it needs to start with communication first because
that's how one can establish their why. Again, you know,
we've all been guilty, being guilty of not really thinking
about how to better take care of yourself right. And

(49:09):
the reason why I want to emphasize better because you
have to have some type of foundation of that to
begin with, right, And there's taking care of yourself, then
there's taking better care of yourself. And if there's no
communication that you have to do either or then you
won't know you need to until it could possibly be

(49:31):
too late. Back in let's say I think I was
maybe like twenty three, twenty four, I was admitted to
the hospital with high blood pressure and I didn't know
that was I guess part of what was going on
in my family or members of my family had it,
particular my mom, and I asked her when I was
in the hospital bed, I'm like, so you got high

(49:53):
blood pressure? So she was like, well yeah, and I'm like, oh, okay.
You know, hindsight is twenty twenty. I don't don't blame
her for it, you know, don't you don't. But the
communication of hey, maybe these are things that each individual
household needs to talk to their household about first and foremost,
you know, taking care of your house it's you know,

(50:13):
what's going on with you as the head of household,
the father, the mother, whoever it is, and getting that
knowledge passed down to your offspring and to your children,
and letting them know there's a possibility this could happen
because it is genetic or can be genetic. But we
can fight this, you know, let's try to fight as

(50:36):
much as possible through education, through communication. But that just
doesn't seem like it takes priority until it's too late.
And I can just really just speak for me in
regards to what I personally went through. And the reason
why let's just say that situation happened is because I

(51:00):
didn't think about it. You know, you don't think about it.
We all go through this phase in life, and you know,
when we're in our teens and our twenties where we
feel like we're invincible, right and like you said, that
check engine light come on and it's like, oh, that's
the kryptonite, you know what I mean. And it's like, oh,
so I have kryptonite, Like kryptonite can be that close

(51:21):
to me and it can affect me. But you know,
when you're younger, you may not even thought that, you
know what I mean. And so that's where we get
to oh, I can eat a pizza and drink a
two liter and go to sleep and wake up. You know,
you try to do that, now you might not wake up.
You know what I mean, You're gonna be waking up
right super super stiff or super super just slow and

(51:45):
realizing that we are all mortal. We all have to
just do better and that looks different for each individual.
But just with all that just being said, is our
body changes. You know, we evolved. You know, this is
the first time in your life you've been your age.
This is the first time in my life I've been
my age, and it's totally different than when I was fifteen.

(52:07):
But I can remember being fifteen just as clear as
I can see you on this uh this live stream.
You know what I mean. You provide so a hundred
