three each other. Okay, so tell all I followed about
you and your background, like what got you ignited and
interested in getting into the weldness gape.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, in twenty thirteen, I began, I would say, kind
of loosely researching different diet plans, 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, you know,
(03:15):
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,
(03:40):
I began sharing my story of you know, how I
did it, Why I did it? Where? You know?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Who?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
What? When? Where? How? Why? You know? And I started
a blog website or blog website. Even to this day,
I still don't necessarily know how to identify it, so
I just called it a blog site where I would
document and 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,
(04:09):
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 preptatorials, 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
(04:29):
then posted it, you know, and went far as from there.
Eventually I ended up starting a podcast because writing and
on the blogs 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 the microphone.
I was doing that. I ended up becoming a certified
(04:51):
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
(05:12):
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 live
(05:34):
on the expressway.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Man.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
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. And then
maybe that same week, my computer, my laptop finally went up,
(05:57):
and oh I had to put like everything on 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,
(06:18):
you know, And so from 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
(06:40):
I began noticing that it was 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
(07:04):
I still record workout tutorials, meal 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 all
of it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And now you're a coach on a Tackle obesit.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
How about that? Yes, sir, appreciate it. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Stay tuned for the Tackle Obesity Show. We'll be right back.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
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
(07:55):

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 going

Speaker 8 (08:33):
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,
(08:54):
as we adjust our lifestyle and our food choices, the
benefits to our wellness 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,
(09:18):

not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and
join our team.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Question for you, coach, because you kind of touched on
this with your own journey. Oh, there are so many
different things out there, coach, like you name it. There's
the fly at kaite diet. There's the turn your key
counterclockwise diet. There is a drink water standing up dot
you name it. There are like a trullion different quote
unquote diets there right right, And unfortunately, the fact of
(09:55):
the matter is is big business is money right all
of this and it's some of it. Some of it's legit,
some of it's not a very very significant portion of
it isn't. It's a fad. It's it's the fantasy. It's
the magic pill, the magic want you do this and
you will lose sixty pounds in thirty days. So how
(10:18):
are we, as you know, people that are in the
journey in this movement, how do we separate the facts
from the fat you know what?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
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 and understanding how
(10:50):
the world works right now and realizing how it's been
working and you can kind of see the trajectory of
where it can 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 get your fingers to
(11:13):
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. You know,
I'm seeing a lot of sensationalized let's say headlines, which
(11:39):
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 is you
have to do your own research. You have to do
your own research and don't go with the first article
(12:03):
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, in the
words of Kanye slavery is a choice. You understand what
(12:25):
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. Now. Does it
take time? It does? You know? Will there be some
confusion in there, yes, but this is where you constantly
(12:46):
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 with time comes evolution and
evolution of information. I think we want absolutes, and that's
fine too, but we have to realize what is an absolute?
(13:06):
You know, when has anything ever been an absolute other
than taxes and energy? You understand 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,
they've always evolved and be okay with that, you know,
(13:28):
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 diet. You know,
it's people picking shoes when they want to be selective
or you know, optimistic on certain things. But then when
(13:51):
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 kind of
learned to articulate because it's been you know, it's just
it's just been you know, a funny time, and I'm
(14:12):
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 asked questions later? Yeah, yeah, I have.
But I also can admit that when I did that,
(14:33):
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 and be okay with that. You know, there
are those who just want to be right regardless, and
that chade to do that is very scary, you know
(14:53):
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
point of view other than yours. So with all that
(15:15):
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 well, that's critical just to reach out for
(15:35):
everybody 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
(15:57):
people who have success in their fitness journey. Their secret
is ninety I will say, I say ninety percent of
the time is that they've had help, they've had a guide,
they've asked question, some type of some type of north star,
some type of compass. You understated right saying, and once
(16:19):
one realized that is what it will take, then they
can become more successful in their fitness journey. Absolutely, and coach.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
You just you just a hard man answer one of
the questions. Why you had a chance to answer.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Stay tuned for the Tackle Obesity Show. We'll be right back.
Cheerleader performance with the one thousand pound couple getting fit
Whitney and Quentin Wheeler.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I don't don't allow people to box you, don't allow
people to put you an tell you your journey has
to look a certain way. No, they're comparing you to
that old vergeon, that old virgin, this dead we walked
out of the cough and we closed that cough. And right,
so now that that level of measurement is based off
of your right now, what do you need to see
right now?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
How do y'all right now?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Looking now, let's make a game plan to obtain that
next version.
Speaker 6 (17:15):

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Little by little, your uniform starts to get a little tighter,
and I'm like, oh, man, you know what's going on here?
The way I look, the way I feel in the
uniform is like I didn't feel right.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I didn't feel good. I didn't look good, and it's bad.
You know, it's it's not a good look.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
It's it's not good for the community, for anywhere youre are.
You know, there was moments of weakness. There was moments
of anxiety of depression where I would go to work
and 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
(18:10):
focusing on myself, getting healthier, getting better, and basically living better.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Remember, obesity is a medical condition, not a character flaw.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Uh one of the things that I touched on at
the Unity Show with the statistics talking about why people
while we have so many people that start these resolutions
as they failed right now today is the NFQ four
to one. Statistically speaking, eighty five percent of people who
started a New Year's resolution are already done, so fifteen
(18:53):
percent left and another six percent of that is going
to follow off of some point for the reading of
the year. So we're gonna, statistically speaking, we're finish right around.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Nine percent, right right, right, right right.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
So what are some of the most common reasons that
people feel? How do we.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Avoid those things? Again? Going back to help, you know,
it's I'm gonna do it on my own. I'm gonna
do it on my own. And I'm saying all this
because I've been guilty of it. I'm not going to
talk about something that I have not either been through
directly personally or of experiencing myself. This is not so
much an observation of the public, but more of an
(19:28):
observation of myself within the public sphere. You know what
I mean, I've went through my time. Hey, you know,
New Year knew me. I'm gonna do this, and I'm
gonna do that, and I'm not reaching out for help.
You know, I'm not doing my research. I'm just doing
what I feel. You know, we're in this day and
age where everybody's in their feelings. This is how I feel,
(19:49):
So this is what I'm going to do. This is
how I feel, and this is what I'm going to do.
This is how I'm going to move because how I
feel other than you know what. It's cool if that's
how you feel, but try to it down, you know,
hone it, hone it in a little bit more. Since
you are feeling this way, who has who can you
join who's felt this way and had a similar goal
(20:11):
that you have and reached that pinnacle, reach that mountaintop
that can possibly help you and the refusal to do
that can result in failure and as resulted in failure.
You know, that's one not reaching out for help and
the other one is thinking that it's I would say, now,
this is just off the top of the hip, you know,
thinking that all the stuff is let's say cute, because
(20:34):
you may see it done on social media whatever platform
you prefer, you know, Twitter, ex ig, Facebook, you know,
or whatever. Being somebody who creates content, watching others create content,
being in the same room, in the same space and
the same gym as those who create content. Some people
are only setting up for just that one shot. You're
(20:57):
just feel what I'm saying, just that one shot. It's
not a totality of said work, you know what I mean.
It's not like, hey, you know what, I'm in the
middle of my work, I'm gonna set my camera here,
shoot it, and then I'm gonna continue continue on. And
I saw that with my own eyes, and I was
surprised when that happened. I was shooting content with somebody
one time and they just did that here I am.
(21:18):
I'm thinking based off of what I saw on the
Internet of them. I'm like, oh, you're shooting content like me,
kind of like right in the middle of your work
out doing that, and you realize that was just a lie,
you know what I mean? And I said, oh, okay.
So I always keep that in my robodecks, my mental
roal decks when I'm watching social media, and I'm like, man,
(21:41):
there's a possibility, the possibility that they're just doing this
for the shot or whatever I see is that, you
know what I'm saying, is it? Which is fine in
its own self too, because you have to realize you
have to be able to once again discern, be able
to discern what you see as you know what's real
(22:01):
and what's not. And so when people are, you know,
wanting to go on their fitness journey and they're looking
at everybody else, and it can be inspirational, it can
be motivational. I get that. But then when you realize
you got to do it on your own. When you
realize is that after a forty five minute workout session
(22:24):
with me, you have to go home when you leave
me and make those choices on your own of are
you going to stick to your nutritional plan or not?
And if you don't, you know, it's not the end
of the world. But how are you going to bounce back?
Like you said earlier, it's like, man, you know the
ride was supposed to be there. If you didn't, you know,
(22:46):
you're supposed to set up at this hotel and you
know this happened. You have to constantly be able to adjust,
and there will be times where it's like I don't
know how to adjust. And that's cool too. You know,
we've all gotten to the point where it's like, man,
I'm just stuck. I don't know whether go left, right,
front or back and you just stand there. But not
making a choice equal stagnation. But you don't want to
(23:08):
make the wrong choice, but you have to make one nonetheless,
and that stuff too, and you got to live with it.
And that kind of goes back to what I said earlier,
is that people want to they want to be more
right than anything and afraid to make a mistake. You know,
they're afraid to make a mistake. And there will be
times where you have to be okay with making that mistake.
Say hey, you know what, I made a mistake. I
(23:29):
was wrong. Now it's like, how am I going to
fix it?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Now?
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I'm going to seek out again help from somebody who's
been through this and can help me out. Or am
I going to repeat the same thing I just did?
And if I do, how am I adjusting? You know
what I mean? So it's just it does come down
to personality. It comes down to your will, like what
is it that you really want to do? And lastly,
(23:55):
it's what's your overall goal. Some people just say, hey,
you know I want to I just want to lose
what And it's like, well, what's your why? You know,
what's your why? You're trying to fit into some some
pants of smaller pants. Are you trying to fit into
a wedding dress? Are you trying to fit into a tuxedo?
You know by what date? Because if you have a
day and dates of when you're a weight loss, you
(24:18):
know journey you know, may end or whatever your goal,
you have a little bit more at stake, you know
what I mean to complete that the target that yeah, yeah,
target a target. And again I've been through all of
that where it's like, oh, I just want a little
leges lose weight. You know, it doesn't have to be
a ginormous you know steak or whatever wherever's that with
(24:39):
at steak, but it has to be something. You know.
There's been plenty of times where I'm responding to inboxes
and people are asking me to, you know, help them,
and I'm like, okay, so what's your goal? And okay
they say twenty pounds, I'm like, okay, by when and
they may not know, and then I help them try to,
you know, entertain some thoughts of trying to connect that
(25:02):
that number of weight they want to lose to actual date.
You know what I mean, and what you do in between,
you know, these hands at this hand, is how are
you going to get to that? You understand what I'm saying. So,
so that's how That's just how things work. You know,
you have a goal and with a stake, and who's
(25:22):
going to help you get there? And that's just honestly
how things work. But when somebody just a kind of
being impulsive, We've all been there. They just do it,
and then when they fail at it or they come
to a detour, they get so down, they get so
down that they don't want to try again.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Absolutely that, coach, Christian, you have a unique perspective because
you're the first member of our team besides myself that
as a platform where you speak to others. Oh, you
have an extra podcast and you know all the other teammates.
You know, they have their own unique things. Some of
them are one hundred percent down and nutrition percent down
(26:02):
and if you're you're sort of in the middle of
all of that. But on top of that, you have
a podcast, you have a platform where you're reaching out
to each heat. And one of the things I know
because I've been here, especially when we first started this
is the silence. It's the you. You you have this
burning desire in you to share this message and to
(26:25):
reach out to people and try to test people, but
you don't hear the revert. You don't see them attraction.
You know, take us through it, because I want everyone
to hear this and I just for me, take us
through that mental journey up where you go from having
a voice and you put content out there, you put
information out there and you don't hear back for a while,
and you're like, hey, is this worth doing it?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Like?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
How do you how did you as a host deal
with that struggle of putting information out there and not
receiving feedback?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
You ask a very interesting question and maybe long winning
on it, but you know, or like Kevin Hart on
Drink Champs, he said thatfing 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
(27:14):
going through it and it's like ongoing, right, 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 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
(27:37):
of thought process where Kanye's figuring out It's like, well,
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? Right?
Is this content good enough? Was it not good enough?
(27:59):
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 going on, These questions
constantly going on and on and on, you know, in
your head, and you just you just you just keep going,
you know, you just keep going. There are times to
(28:21):
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
because I kind of going through this phase to where
I'm asking myself again, what's my why? You know, what
(28:44):
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 creators should not be compensated financially is
insane to me, you know, because it's the amount of
work that goes in this software that we're using.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
You have to answer the why question twice yes, answer
for yourself and for you yes.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
And if you can connect your why to everybody else's why,
I believe that's where 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
(29:37):
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 and action versus typing and texting to me,
you know, and 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,
(29:59):
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 in. And 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
(30:21):
myself so much from my content, and I began having
a lot more fun to it because there is a
psychological game you do have to play. There are questions
posts that 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
(30:44):
isn't it. It's just, hey, I may be looking for engagement,
so I may call it trolling.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
But those of you that are listened to the radio
broadcast or all the podcast Acorn, go to tackle OBC
dot com website TACKLEBC dot com and then you will
see coach Christian phase. 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.

(31:11):
get you their dry. This machine that keeps this thing North,
and I just want to say thank you to so
much to all of you guys have reached out to us,
even if it's just a question or art, positive, negative, whatever,
we always want to hear from you guys. So getting
tackled a VC dot com. Uh, if you're on the
one of the podcast platforms on one of our stations
k c AA one on six point five one or
(31:32):
two point five the station that leads the list your
behind U kse W c KG is Chicago fifteen eight
mad Phoenix. If you're on one of those. If you
listen to us on one of those those platforms, go
to the website this is you're gonna you're gonna be
a little bit behind it. We're not live there, but
if you're listening to us on the live feed, drop
question in the check anyhow, just get in touch ons,
(31:53):
get words. Uh, we're gonna take a really quick break.
When we come back, we're gonna have more coach Christian Heir.
You tune into the Tackle, be some show.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Two minute drill with the Mrs Gang, Daniel and Dodd.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
We're nurses, so we do kind of see that the
end of the road where obesity lance patients and Obviously
it's not the only disease that somebody can suffer through,
but it definitely complicates and conjugates things all the risk factors.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Of many diseases.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Obesity seems to rear its head nine times out of
ten you can overthings like.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Cigarette smoke, alcohol.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
Obesity seems to be one of the greatest risk factors
and complicators amongst some of these dock miracle diseases. And
for it to not be labeled as a disease or
for people to have spick them against clonia what it is.
It's not a shame or a judgment upon aesthetics. Look
how you look and feel good in your skin. We're
talking about medically. Obesity is a disease anyway you look
(32:51):
at it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
To learn more about the NFL alumnis ongoing commitment to
our community and kids go to tackle obesity. Let's hear
from Daniel Raz.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
The goal isn't to look good for an Instagram picture in.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
That it days.
Speaker 12 (33:08):
The point is to sustainably lose the weight and keep
it off for the next decade. And you do that
by pulling something that you can do over the next decade.
If you can stick with a diet for one decade.
There's no point you doing before a day. So I
believe if a dad has a name, it's probably not sustainable.
He too beginning to move fast than you can name it.
(33:29):
Those who walk great for some people for a short
period of time, but for most people you can sustain
it over the Longtom.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
Get coached and together, let's tackle obesity to no more.
Visit Daniel Rosfit dot tackleobesity dot com.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
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 order to be here for you week again.
If you have questions, starts, comments, feel free to share
them with you.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
This is this is a team goal here.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Our ultimate goal is the fuel the NFL stadium with
people that are battle this obcity journey. So we want
you to be a part of the Tackle of BC team.
Whether you're someone who's coaching someone or or supporting someone
to get to across the finish line in your wellness goals,
or to the struggle yourself. You need help, questions, whatever,
(34:28):
We're all a team. We're all in this journey together.
And we are here with our newest teammate, coach Christian Evans.
Coach Christian. Uh, We're gonna get right back into this.
And this is a topic that I think is a
little sensitive. It's specifically to you and I because one
of the things that we share is that you and
I are both African American bands, and so I'm just
(34:51):
I'm gonna shoot. I'm gonna shoot very stray on us.
There is a very strong stigma amongst the African American community,
and even even further beyond that, with African American males
about wellness, about fitness, specifically about obesity. And here's where
(35:11):
I'm wrong with this. As men, it's very difficult for
us to identify what we have a problem until the
check in your life comes on or worse, I myself
am guilty of that. I never cared about my way
until I got to the point where I had to
go to the doctor. I played for many years overweight.
(35:32):
I would get back into shape in training camp. I
got dropped from being a starter to practice squad and
hand to work my way back because I shut up
out shake. And there's this stigma amongst men, specifically African
American being and also with the African American community that
you know, it's okay to just kind of be be
(35:52):
like I'm a big guy, that's just who you are.
And the other the other thing is that that's a
problem is that we actually attack people within our community
that are trying to pursue willness. And the most recent
example that I can think of is Oprah winf and
Oprah's come out and you know, she stepped down from
the board, uh, and she's admitted that she's used, you know, injectible.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Medications.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
You know, I'm of the mindset that, you know, there's
no one way to fight obesity. We need to understand
what this obesity thing is. It is a very complex
ecosystem of very bad things, and there's no one way
to address it.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Some some of it, some of us can work through
just simple nutrition changes and exercise. Some of us need
additional support like a coach. Most of us do needs
additional support like a coach. But sometimes that just doesn't work.
And sometimes, especially as you age, you have so many
different things that goes on in your life, or could
(36:58):
be genetics, we have modern medical systems or or technology
or in this case in Oprah's case. You know, we
have ejectable medications, So what are your what is your
overall thoughts? It's sort of a two hitting question, you know,
give it's your overall perspective on you know, how do
(37:20):
we change the stigma of the obesity, address the obesity
crisis in the African American community because the statistics are disrepportunate,
impacts us more to thediother 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 6 (37:41):
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. I've been guilty of not really
thinking about how to better take yourself right. And the
(38:01):
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 too late.
(38:26):
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 blood pressure? So she
(38:46):
was like, well yeah, and I'm like, oh, okay. You know,
hindsight is twenty twenty. I 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, what's going
(39:06):
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,
(39:27):
you know, let's try to fight as 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
(39:50):
say that situation happened is because you know, I 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 in the 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
(40:14):
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
super super stiff or super super just slow and realizing
(40:38):
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 fifty. But
(41:00):
I can remember being fifteen just as clear as I
can see you on this this live stream, you know
what I mean. So and you're like you're trying to
figure out how it all connects, you know, but it's like,
you know, we age, and so therefore it's start doing
a little bit more research of how does the body
(41:20):
react when you get this age, or you know, what's
the benefits of this when you age. My last couple
podcasts has been more geared towards the benefits of strength training,
strength and training as we age and as we get older,
and what we need to sustain the inevitable one percent
(41:41):
muscle loss after age of thirty and how to retain that.
And I've been finding more and more interesting studies and
put it like that, and it's not a one article
fits all and that's the cure for it, or just
opens up more and more curiosity for me. You have
(42:04):
to be curious too, you know, you have to be
a curious person to want to investigate that in learning
how to discern and process all this information and who
is it applying to to you know, it's like, Okay,
who are these studies apply to? Right? And it's not
a one one shot fits all, because if you're doing
(42:28):
your research on a particular community, then that may not
reflect our community as Black Americans. There are some things
that we are more susceptible to. You know, you can
check it up to environment. You can check it up
to slavery. You can check it up to those things
(42:48):
in our environment from slavery passed on, so on and
so on. These are all possibilities. Nobody's saying they're absolute,
but you have to entertain that possibility, and you have
to do your research and say, well, where is this
research there on this particular article, and how does it
apply to me? And just take it into consideration. And
(43:10):
I think the thing is is that once again, we
all want so many absolutes that you have to understand
there's no absolute. But what information can you take from this?
What information can you take from this? There are a
lot of things out there that I may not agree with,
but what information can I take from this? There was
a point in time I didn't believe in weight loss
surgery because I didn't have weight loss surgery, you understand,
(43:33):
but as time on, I understand somebody else's position. There
was a point in time to where going to the
ozimpic thing to where I didn't understand it and I
wasn't for it. I don't say I'm for it, and
I don't say I'm against it. At this point is
that do what you can as long as it's safe
(43:54):
far as for you, and you've gotten your medical clearance.
You're correct what I'm saying, you've gotten your get the
professional get professional help. Get the professional help, get the
professional help. So with that being said, if that's what
your doctor recommends to you and you trust them, then
go for it. Then go for it. Yes, there are
content creators and you know, people making articles about their
(44:16):
opinion on it, which is fine. People can have their
opinion on it, but you can't take those as bible.
You have to seek your medical professional and that can
be sometimes a scary thing, even in our community, not
wanting to go to the doctor I was. I was
that way. You understand what I'm saying. I'm like, no,
I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go because deep
(44:37):
down you're afraid of what they're going to say. And
that could be attributed to You may not want to
be corrected. You have to be open to be corrected.
You understand a word saying you know, just something you
know you you playing and saying hey, you know, I'm
I'm gonna tackle this person this way, and it's like, well,
this is how it's supposed to go. You have to
(44:57):
be open to that correction to whatever that game is,
that law is, and we have to start being more
open to be corrected versus that we're thinking every riote
or thinking that, oh, Grandma's remedy was right. Some of
it probably is, but information can be updated. You understand
what I'm said. And the reason why I've come to
(45:19):
this type of neutral conclusion is because we really do
not know what is in the food that we eat
from this from the actual soil that said grain is
planted in to said grain that is being planted, to
how that is cultivated, to how it's processed afterwards. It's like,
(45:40):
you don't really have a hand in that, and if
you don't, then you have to entertain the possibilities of
they're not playing fair either, so I guess I'll say,
you know, I'm not playing fair either, so I will
take a shot. You know, what I mean, Well, I
personally ever take ozempic no because I understand from the
(46:01):
little bit of research that I've have read is that
it was intended for diabetic patients, just like the Keto
diet initially, but people saw others losing weight from it
and now it's a craze or v praise. So that's
kind of like my opinion on that. I think you
(46:21):
touched on.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
The key point is it needs to be under the
supervision of a medical professional and a recommendation. You provide
so hundred value and information Coach Christian, this is not

My question to all of those who are watching, Who's next?
What city's next? Houston, Phoenix, Los Los Angeles, what's up Atlanta?
I'll also start calling you guys out, who's next? Who's next?
New York made the first move, so who's next? So
(01:53):
I am so, so so excited to introduce our newest

So our newest teammates got so much information that he's
going to share with you. He is also has a
podcast that you need to subscribe to and you need
to follow on all podcast platforms. He's also on YouTube.
It's called the Success Fitness Podcast and his name is
Christian Evans, and I'm going to bring him in there.
Miss Christian.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
How are you doing today? I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.
How are you?
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I do A great brother, It is so great to

the tackle of Vcity Tech. I appreciate it. I appreciate
three each other. Okay, so tell all I followed about
you and your background, like what got you ignited and
interested in getting into the weldness gape.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
Well, in twenty thirteen, I began, I would say, kind
of loosely researching different diet plans, 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, you know,
(03:15):
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,
(03:40):
I began sharing my story of you know, how I
did it, Why I did it? Where? You know?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
Who?
Speaker 6 (03:46):
What? When? Where? How? Why? You know? And I started
a blog website or blog website. Even to this day,
I still don't necessarily know how to identify it, so
I just called it a blog site where I would
document and 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,
(04:09):
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 preptatorials, 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
(04:29):
then posted it, you know, and went far as from there.
Eventually I ended up starting a podcast because writing and
on the blogs 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 the microphone.
I was doing that. I ended up becoming a certified
(04:51):
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
(05:12):
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 live
(05:34):
on the expressway.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Man.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
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. And then
maybe that same week, my computer, my laptop finally went up,
(05:57):
and oh I had to put like everything on 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,
(06:18):
you know, And so from 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
(06:40):
I began noticing that it was 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
(07:04):
I still record workout tutorials, meal 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 all
of it.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
And now you're a coach on a Tackle obesit.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
How about that? Yes, sir, appreciate it. Appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Stay tuned for the Tackle Obesity Show. We'll be right back.
Speaker 7 (07:31):

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

benefit over two hundred thousand children annually, providing toys and

Speaker 8 (08:33):
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,
(08:54):
as we adjust our lifestyle and our food choices, the
benefits to our wellness 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,
(09:18):
go to tackleobesity dot com. Remember obesity is a medical condition,
not a character flaw. Go to tackleobesity dot com and
join our team.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Question for you, coach, because you kind of touched on
this with your own journey. Oh, there are so many
different things out there, coach, like you name it. There's
the fly at kaite diet. There's the turn your key
counterclockwise diet. There is a drink water standing up dot
you name it. There are like a trullion different quote
unquote diets there right right, And unfortunately, the fact of
(09:55):
the matter is is big business is money right all
of this and it's some of it. Some of it's legit,
some of it's not a very very significant portion of
it isn't. It's a fad. It's it's the fantasy. It's
the magic pill, the magic want you do this and
you will lose sixty pounds in thirty days. So how
(10:18):
are we, as you know, people that are in the
journey in this movement, how do we separate the facts
from the fat you know what?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
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 and understanding how
(10:50):
the world works right now and realizing how it's been
working and you can kind of see the trajectory of
where it can 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 get your fingers to
(11:13):
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. You know,
I'm seeing a lot of sensationalized let's say headlines, which
(11:39):
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 is you
have to do your own research. You have to do
your own research and don't go with the first article
(12:03):
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, in the
words of Kanye slavery is a choice. You understand what
(12:25):
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. Now. Does it
take time? It does? You know? Will there be some
confusion in there, yes, but this is where you constantly
(12:46):
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 with time comes evolution and
evolution of information. I think we want absolutes, and that's
fine too, but we have to realize what is an absolute?
(13:06):
You know, when has anything ever been an absolute other
than taxes and energy? You understand 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,
they've always evolved and be okay with that, you know,
(13:28):
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 diet. You know,
it's people picking shoes when they want to be selective
or you know, optimistic on certain things. But then when
(13:51):
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 kind of
learned to articulate because it's been you know, it's just
it's just been you know, a funny time, and I'm
(14:12):
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 asked questions later? Yeah, yeah, I have.
But I also can admit that when I did that,
(14:33):
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 and be okay with that. You know, there
are those who just want to be right regardless, and
that chade to do that is very scary, you know
(14:53):
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
point of view other than yours. So with all that
(15:15):
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 well, that's critical just to reach out for
(15:35):
everybody 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
(15:57):
people who have success in their fitness journey. Their secret
is ninety I will say, I say ninety percent of
the time is that they've had help, they've had a guide,
they've asked question, some type of some type of north star,
some type of compass. You understated right saying, and once
(16:19):
one realized that is what it will take, then they
can become more successful in their fitness journey. Absolutely, and coach.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
You just you just a hard man answer one of
the questions. Why you had a chance to answer.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Stay tuned for the Tackle Obesity Show. We'll be right back.
Cheerleader performance with the one thousand pound couple getting fit
Whitney and Quentin Wheeler.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I don't don't allow people to box you, don't allow
people to put you an tell you your journey has
to look a certain way. No, they're comparing you to
that old vergeon, that old virgin, this dead we walked
out of the cough and we closed that cough. And right,
so now that that level of measurement is based off
of your right now, what do you need to see
right now?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
How do y'all right now?
Speaker 9 (17:12):
Looking now, let's make a game plan to obtain that

Speaker 10 (17:33):
Little by little, your uniform starts to get a little tighter,
and I'm like, oh, man, you know what's going on here?
The way I look, the way I feel in the
uniform is like I didn't feel right.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
I didn't feel good. I didn't look good, and it's bad.
You know, it's it's not a good look.
Speaker 10 (17:49):
It's it's not good for the community, for anywhere youre are.
You know, there was moments of weakness. There was moments
of anxiety of depression where I would go to work
and 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
(18:10):
focusing on myself, getting healthier, getting better, and basically living better.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Remember, obesity is a medical condition, not a character flaw.
To learn more about the NFL alumnis ongoing commitment to

Speaker 5 (18:31):
Uh one of the things that I touched on at
the Unity Show with the statistics talking about why people
while we have so many people that start these resolutions
as they failed right now today is the NFQ four
to one. Statistically speaking, eighty five percent of people who
started a New Year's resolution are already done, so fifteen
(18:53):
percent left and another six percent of that is going
to follow off of some point for the reading of
the year. So we're gonna, statistically speaking, we're finish right around.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Nine percent, right right, right, right right.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
So what are some of the most common reasons that
people feel? How do we.
Speaker 6 (19:06):
Avoid those things? Again? Going back to help, you know,
it's I'm gonna do it on my own. I'm gonna
do it on my own. And I'm saying all this
because I've been guilty of it. I'm not going to
talk about something that I have not either been through
directly personally or of experiencing myself. This is not so
much an observation of the public, but more of an
(19:28):
observation of myself within the public sphere. You know what
I mean, I've went through my time. Hey, you know,
New Year knew me. I'm gonna do this, and I'm
gonna do that, and I'm not reaching out for help.
You know, I'm not doing my research. I'm just doing
what I feel. You know, we're in this day and
age where everybody's in their feelings. This is how I feel,
(19:49):
So this is what I'm going to do. This is
how I feel, and this is what I'm going to do.
This is how I'm going to move because how I
feel other than you know what. It's cool if that's
how you feel, but try to it down, you know,
hone it, hone it in a little bit more. Since
you are feeling this way, who has who can you
join who's felt this way and had a similar goal
(20:11):
that you have and reached that pinnacle, reach that mountaintop
that can possibly help you and the refusal to do
that can result in failure and as resulted in failure.
You know, that's one not reaching out for help and
the other one is thinking that it's I would say, now,
this is just off the top of the hip, you know,
thinking that all the stuff is let's say cute, because
(20:34):
you may see it done on social media whatever platform
you prefer, you know, Twitter, ex ig, Facebook, you know,
or whatever. Being somebody who creates content, watching others create content,
being in the same room, in the same space and
the same gym as those who create content. Some people
are only setting up for just that one shot. You're
(20:57):
just feel what I'm saying, just that one shot. It's
not a totality of said work, you know what I mean.
It's not like, hey, you know what, I'm in the
middle of my work, I'm gonna set my camera here,
shoot it, and then I'm gonna continue continue on. And
I saw that with my own eyes, and I was
surprised when that happened. I was shooting content with somebody
one time and they just did that here I am.
(21:18):
I'm thinking based off of what I saw on the
Internet of them. I'm like, oh, you're shooting content like me,
kind of like right in the middle of your work
out doing that, and you realize that was just a lie,
you know what I mean? And I said, oh, okay.
So I always keep that in my robodecks, my mental
roal decks when I'm watching social media, and I'm like, man,
(21:41):
there's a possibility, the possibility that they're just doing this
for the shot or whatever I see is that, you
know what I'm saying, is it? Which is fine in
its own self too, because you have to realize you
have to be able to once again discern, be able
to discern what you see as you know what's real
(22:01):
and what's not. And so when people are, you know,
wanting to go on their fitness journey and they're looking
at everybody else, and it can be inspirational, it can
be motivational. I get that. But then when you realize
you got to do it on your own. When you
realize is that after a forty five minute workout session
(22:24):
with me, you have to go home when you leave
me and make those choices on your own of are
you going to stick to your nutritional plan or not?
And if you don't, you know, it's not the end
of the world. But how are you going to bounce back?
Like you said earlier, it's like, man, you know the
ride was supposed to be there. If you didn't, you know,
(22:46):
you're supposed to set up at this hotel and you
know this happened. You have to constantly be able to adjust,
and there will be times where it's like I don't
know how to adjust. And that's cool too. You know,
we've all gotten to the point where it's like, man,
I'm just stuck. I don't know whether go left, right,
front or back and you just stand there. But not
making a choice equal stagnation. But you don't want to
(23:08):
make the wrong choice, but you have to make one nonetheless,
and that stuff too, and you got to live with it.
And that kind of goes back to what I said earlier,
is that people want to they want to be more
right than anything and afraid to make a mistake. You know,
they're afraid to make a mistake. And there will be
times where you have to be okay with making that mistake.
Say hey, you know what, I made a mistake. I
(23:29):
was wrong. Now it's like, how am I going to
fix it?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Now?
Speaker 6 (23:32):
I'm going to seek out again help from somebody who's
been through this and can help me out. Or am
I going to repeat the same thing I just did?
And if I do, how am I adjusting? You know
what I mean? So it's just it does come down
to personality. It comes down to your will, like what
is it that you really want to do? And lastly,
(23:55):
it's what's your overall goal. Some people just say, hey,
you know I want to I just want to lose
what And it's like, well, what's your why? You know,
what's your why? You're trying to fit into some some
pants of smaller pants. Are you trying to fit into
a wedding dress? Are you trying to fit into a tuxedo?
You know by what date? Because if you have a
day and dates of when you're a weight loss, you
(24:18):
know journey you know, may end or whatever your goal,
you have a little bit more at stake, you know
what I mean to complete that the target that yeah, yeah,
target a target. And again I've been through all of
that where it's like, oh, I just want a little
leges lose weight. You know, it doesn't have to be
a ginormous you know steak or whatever wherever's that with
(24:39):
at steak, but it has to be something. You know.
There's been plenty of times where I'm responding to inboxes
and people are asking me to, you know, help them,
and I'm like, okay, so what's your goal? And okay
they say twenty pounds, I'm like, okay, by when and
they may not know, and then I help them try to,
you know, entertain some thoughts of trying to connect that
(25:02):
that number of weight they want to lose to actual date.
You know what I mean, and what you do in between,
you know, these hands at this hand, is how are
you going to get to that? You understand what I'm saying. So,
so that's how That's just how things work. You know,
you have a goal and with a stake, and who's
(25:22):
going to help you get there? And that's just honestly
how things work. But when somebody just a kind of
being impulsive, We've all been there. They just do it,
and then when they fail at it or they come
to a detour, they get so down, they get so
down that they don't want to try again.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Absolutely that, coach, Christian, you have a unique perspective because
you're the first member of our team besides myself that
as a platform where you speak to others. Oh, you
have an extra podcast and you know all the other teammates.
You know, they have their own unique things. Some of
them are one hundred percent down and nutrition percent down
(26:02):
and if you're you're sort of in the middle of
all of that. But on top of that, you have
a podcast, you have a platform where you're reaching out
to each heat. And one of the things I know
because I've been here, especially when we first started this
is the silence. It's the you. You you have this
burning desire in you to share this message and to
(26:25):
reach out to people and try to test people, but
you don't hear the revert. You don't see them attraction.
You know, take us through it, because I want everyone
to hear this and I just for me, take us
through that mental journey up where you go from having
a voice and you put content out there, you put
information out there and you don't hear back for a while,
and you're like, hey, is this worth doing it?
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Like?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
How do you how did you as a host deal
with that struggle of putting information out there and not
receiving feedback?
Speaker 6 (26:53):
You ask a very interesting question and maybe long winning
on it, but you know, or like Kevin Hart on
Drink Champs, he said thatfing 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
(27:14):
going through it and it's like ongoing, right, 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 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
(27:37):
of thought process where Kanye's figuring out It's like, well,
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? Right?
Is this content good enough? Was it not good enough?
(27:59):
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 going on, These questions
constantly going on and on and on, you know, in
your head, and you just you just you just keep going,
you know, you just keep going. There are times to
(28:21):
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
because I kind of going through this phase to where
I'm asking myself again, what's my why? You know, what
(28:44):
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 creators should not be compensated financially is
insane to me, you know, because it's the amount of
work that goes in this software that we're using.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
You have to answer the why question twice yes, answer
for yourself and for you yes.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
And if you can connect your why to everybody else's why,
I believe that's where 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
(29:37):
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 and action versus typing and texting to me,
you know, and 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,
(29:59):
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 in. And 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
(30:21):
myself so much from my content, and I began having
a lot more fun to it because there is a
psychological game you do have to play. There are questions
posts that 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
(30:44):
isn't it. It's just, hey, I may be looking for engagement,
so I may call it trolling.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
But those of you that are listened to the radio
broadcast or all the podcast Acorn, go to tackle OBC
dot com website TACKLEBC dot com and then you will
see coach Christian phase. 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 talking, it's the feedback. Then we
(31:11):
get you their dry. This machine that keeps this thing North,
and I just want to say thank you to so
much to all of you guys have reached out to us,
even if it's just a question or art, positive, negative, whatever,
we always want to hear from you guys. So getting
tackled a VC dot com. Uh, if you're on the
one of the podcast platforms on one of our stations
k c AA one on six point five one or
(31:32):
two point five the station that leads the list your
behind U kse W c KG is Chicago fifteen eight
mad Phoenix. If you're on one of those. If you
listen to us on one of those those platforms, go
to the website this is you're gonna you're gonna be
a little bit behind it. We're not live there, but
if you're listening to us on the live feed, drop
question in the check anyhow, just get in touch ons,
(31:53):
get words. Uh, we're gonna take a really quick break.
When we come back, we're gonna have more coach Christian Heir.
You tune into the Tackle, be some show.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
Two minute drill with the Mrs Gang, Daniel and Dodd.
Speaker 11 (32:07):
We're nurses, so we do kind of see that the
end of the road where obesity lance patients and Obviously
it's not the only disease that somebody can suffer through,
but it definitely complicates and conjugates things all the risk factors.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Of many diseases.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Obesity seems to rear its head nine times out of
ten you can overthings like.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
Cigarette smoke, alcohol.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
Obesity seems to be one of the greatest risk factors
and complicators amongst some of these dock miracle diseases. And
for it to not be labeled as a disease or
for people to have spick them against clonia what it is.
It's not a shame or a judgment upon aesthetics. Look
how you look and feel good in your skin. We're
talking about medically. Obesity is a disease anyway you look
(32:51):
at it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
To learn more about the NFL alumnis ongoing commitment to
our community and kids go to tackle obesity. Let's hear
from Daniel Raz.
Speaker 12 (33:04):
The goal isn't to look good for an Instagram picture in.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
That it days.
Speaker 12 (33:08):
The point is to sustainably lose the weight and keep
it off for the next decade. And you do that
by pulling something that you can do over the next decade.
If you can stick with a diet for one decade.
There's no point you doing before a day. So I
believe if a dad has a name, it's probably not sustainable.
He too beginning to move fast than you can name it.
(33:29):
Those who walk great for some people for a short
period of time, but for most people you can sustain
it over the Longtom.
Speaker 8 (33:36):
Get coached and together, let's tackle obesity to no more.
Visit Daniel Rosfit dot tackleobesity dot com.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
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 order to be here for you week again.
If you have questions, starts, comments, feel free to share
them with you.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
This is this is a team goal here.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Our ultimate goal is the fuel the NFL stadium with
people that are battle this obcity journey. So we want
you to be a part of the Tackle of BC team.
Whether you're someone who's coaching someone or or supporting someone
to get to across the finish line in your wellness goals,
or to the struggle yourself. You need help, questions, whatever,
(34:28):
We're all a team. We're all in this journey together.
And we are here with our newest teammate, coach Christian Evans.
Coach Christian. Uh, We're gonna get right back into this.
And this is a topic that I think is a
little sensitive. It's specifically to you and I because one
of the things that we share is that you and
I are both African American bands, and so I'm just
(34:51):
I'm gonna shoot. I'm gonna shoot very stray on us.
There is a very strong stigma amongst the African American community,
and even even further beyond that, with African American males
about wellness, about fitness, specifically about obesity. And here's where
(35:11):
I'm wrong with this. As men, it's very difficult for
us to identify what we have a problem until the
check in your life comes on or worse, I myself
am guilty of that. I never cared about my way
until I got to the point where I had to
go to the doctor. I played for many years overweight.
(35:32):
I would get back into shape in training camp. I
got dropped from being a starter to practice squad and
hand to work my way back because I shut up
out shake. And there's this stigma amongst men, specifically African
American being and also with the African American community that
you know, it's okay to just kind of be be
(35:52):
like I'm a big guy, that's just who you are.
And the other the other thing is that that's a
problem is that we actually attack people within our community
that are trying to pursue willness. And the most recent
example that I can think of is Oprah winf and
Oprah's come out and you know, she stepped down from
the board, uh, and she's admitted that she's used, you know, injectible.
Speaker 6 (36:19):
Medications.
Speaker 5 (36:21):
You know, I'm of the mindset that, you know, there's
no one way to fight obesity. We need to understand
what this obesity thing is. It is a very complex
ecosystem of very bad things, and there's no one way
to address it.
Speaker 13 (36:37):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (36:38):
Some some of it, some of us can work through
just simple nutrition changes and exercise. Some of us need
additional support like a coach. Most of us do needs
additional support like a coach. But sometimes that just doesn't work.
And sometimes, especially as you age, you have so many
different things that goes on in your life, or could
(36:58):
be genetics, we have modern medical systems or or technology
or in this case in Oprah's case. You know, we
have ejectable medications, So what are your what is your
overall thoughts? It's sort of a two hitting question, you know,
give it's your overall perspective on you know, how do
(37:20):
we change the stigma of the obesity, address the obesity
crisis in the African American community because the statistics are disrepportunate,
impacts us more to thediother 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 6 (37:41):
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. I've been guilty of not really
thinking about how to better take yourself right. And the
(38:01):
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 too late.
(38:26):
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 blood pressure? So she
(38:46):
was like, well yeah, and I'm like, oh, okay. You know,
hindsight is twenty twenty. I 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, what's going
(39:06):
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,
(39:27):
you know, let's try to fight as 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
(39:50):
say that situation happened is because you know, I 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 in the 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
(40:14):
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
super super stiff or super super just slow and realizing
(40:38):
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 fifty. But
(41:00):
I can remember being fifteen just as clear as I
can see you on this this live stream, you know
what I mean. So and you're like you're trying to
figure out how it all connects, you know, but it's like,
you know, we age, and so therefore it's start doing
a little bit more research of how does the body
(41:20):
react when you get this age, or you know, what's
the benefits of this when you age. My last couple
podcasts has been more geared towards the benefits of strength training,
strength and training as we age and as we get older,
and what we need to sustain the inevitable one percent
(41:41):
muscle loss after age of thirty and how to retain that.
And I've been finding more and more interesting studies and
put it like that, and it's not a one article
fits all and that's the cure for it, or just
opens up more and more curiosity for me. You have
(42:04):
to be curious too, you know, you have to be
a curious person to want to investigate that in learning
how to discern and process all this information and who
is it applying to to you know, it's like, Okay,
who are these studies apply to? Right? And it's not
a one one shot fits all, because if you're doing
(42:28):
your research on a particular community, then that may not
reflect our community as Black Americans. There are some things
that we are more susceptible to. You know, you can
check it up to environment. You can check it up
to slavery. You can check it up to those things
(42:48):
in our environment from slavery passed on, so on and
so on. These are all possibilities. Nobody's saying they're absolute,
but you have to entertain that possibility, and you have
to do your research and say, well, where is this
research there on this particular article, and how does it
apply to me? And just take it into consideration. And
(43:10):
I think the thing is is that once again, we
all want so many absolutes that you have to understand
there's no absolute. But what information can you take from this?
What information can you take from this? There are a
lot of things out there that I may not agree with,
but what information can I take from this? There was
a point in time I didn't believe in weight loss
surgery because I didn't have weight loss surgery, you understand,
(43:33):
but as time on, I understand somebody else's position. There
was a point in time to where going to the
ozimpic thing to where I didn't understand it and I
wasn't for it. I don't say I'm for it, and
I don't say I'm against it. At this point is
that do what you can as long as it's safe
(43:54):
far as for you, and you've gotten your medical clearance.
You're correct what I'm saying, you've gotten your get the
professional get professional help. Get the professional help, get the
professional help. So with that being said, if that's what
your doctor recommends to you and you trust them, then
go for it. Then go for it. Yes, there are
content creators and you know, people making articles about their
(44:16):
opinion on it, which is fine. People can have their
opinion on it, but you can't take those as bible.
You have to seek your medical professional and that can
be sometimes a scary thing, even in our community, not
wanting to go to the doctor I was. I was
that way. You understand what I'm saying. I'm like, no,
I'm not gonna go. I'm not gonna go because deep
(44:37):
down you're afraid of what they're going to say. And
that could be attributed to You may not want to
be corrected. You have to be open to be corrected.
You understand a word saying you know, just something you
know you you playing and saying hey, you know, I'm
I'm gonna tackle this person this way, and it's like, well,
this is how it's supposed to go. You have to
(44:57):
be open to that correction to whatever that game is,
that law is, and we have to start being more
open to be corrected versus that we're thinking every riote
or thinking that, oh, Grandma's remedy was right. Some of
it probably is, but information can be updated. You understand
what I'm said. And the reason why I've come to
(45:19):
this type of neutral conclusion is because we really do
not know what is in the food that we eat
from this from the actual soil that said grain is
planted in to said grain that is being planted, to
how that is cultivated, to how it's processed afterwards. It's like,
(45:40):
you don't really have a hand in that, and if
you don't, then you have to entertain the possibilities of
they're not playing fair either, so I guess I'll say,
you know, I'm not playing fair either, so I will
take a shot. You know, what I mean, Well, I
personally ever take ozempic no because I understand from the
(46:01):
little bit of research that I've have read is that
it was intended for diabetic patients, just like the Keto
diet initially, but people saw others losing weight from it
and now it's a craze or v praise. So that's
kind of like my opinion on that. I think you
(46:21):
touched on.
Speaker 5 (46:22):
The key point is it needs to be under the
supervision of a medical professional and a recommendation. You provide
so hundred value and information Coach Christian, this is not

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
