#94 - Let everything support your active goal

Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm the number one New York Times bestselling author and leading fitness, nutrition, and peak performance trainer to the world's busiest celebrities. You may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Tyra Banks, Kelly Clarkson, or even Dr. Oz. My career started because in my early 20s, I was out of control and addicted to sweets, carbs, and salty snacks. And experts told me to simply count calories to get control. They were wrong. My passion to get control of my hunger led me to find simple ways backed by science that would turn off physical hunger as well as my emotional eating instantly. And I know I can help you too. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show. It is November 23rd. I'm Jorge Cruise and welcome to the The Jorge Cruise Show. What's up everyone? Hope you had a great weekend. I've got a great show for you today, guys. We're going to be talking about, uh, Law Number 9 in Ask Big, which is a series I've been doing about really helping you achieve goals. And today we're going to talk about the power of focus and why staying focused is so important to achieve your active goal. And hopefully, if you're part of the show, you know that this show is really about giving you radical control over sugar carbs and salty snack foods. And so many of us are addicted to those things, especially during COVID-19, because sugar and carbs allow us to feel good. They raise serotonin and dopamine levels, which literally are addictive. And not that it's a bad thing— we're wired as humans, it's biology really, to crave things that raise serotonin and, and dopamine. But the thing is, if you eat too many carbs and sugar, what happens? Not only do you gain weight, but you destroy your health. You create inflammation in your body, and, and you can— and it can lead to things like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure. And we don't want any of that, and we want to keep our immune system strong. So no matter what happens, even if you get COVID-19, which I've had, you can overcome it, uh, quickly and easily and stay strong your whole life. It's really a lifestyle, uh, eating a low— I would say low sugar, low carb lifestyle and a high protein, high fat diet is really the key to it. And by the way, hopefully you're joining my challenge next Monday, which starts on the 30th of November, which is called the Zero Hunger Plan Challenge. And it's a 19-day challenge. I'll talk about it on today's show, but my goal for you is to make your active goal your number one focus in 20-minute increments. And I'm going to talk about how to do that and why focusing in on one thing is so important, because so many of us do focus on multiple things. And some of us, women more so, I think— what's up, ladies— can do 2 or 3 things at a time. But even women, the science has shown this, men or women that do multitasking are going to be less effective and you're going to get to your goal in less time than if you're able to focus like a laser beam on one thing. And that is so important to have everything you're doing support whatever it is you're trying to accomplish. 'Cause if you can do that, you'll have what my friend Tony Robbins says is you'll have power. And I had a chance to spend the weekend with him. He did a streamed event on Zoom called Unleash the Power Within. I don't know if you've heard of Tony Robbins before, but he was the guy that 20 years ago endorsed my work as a young kid. And I'm so grateful to him. I actually have the book here. Check this out, guys. This is from 20 years ago. It's 2001, so 19 years ago. But there's Tony. Where's his name? If you're on YouTube, you can kind of see all this. But Tony is an incredible motivator out there, and he got me to— switch my path to health when I was studying political science and got me to really realize that if I wanted to be a trainer that had impact and was able to help people and people of impact as well, like celebrities, because I've worked with everyone. You guys know I've worked with people like Khloé Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Oz, and to have access to some of the most influential people in the world, you have to have some focus. You have to have some success behind that. And, you know, I've been really lucky that as an author, I've written over 30 books, 12 of them on the New York Times. And this podcast now is really an extension of my work from the books to do what I think is more important, and that is to give you a daily system to support this radical control we all need, because we need it. And it really gives us the control to have a better day and to achieve our health goals, you know? So, welcome to the show, guys. Long story short, we're going to have a great show. I want to give a shout-out to our sponsors real quick and say thank you to Primal Kitchen, because Primal Kitchen is giving us all a free Lemon Chipotle Mayo, which I love. I put this on as a dollop on my steak. I put it in vegetables. Mark Sisson's the creator of this, and Mark is one of my dearest friends. He's my nutrition mentor for the last 17 years. He's been on the show as well. And I'll tell you, when you can have healthy fats like avocado oil in your life, you have an off switch. When you join the challenge next week, I'm gonna talk about electrolytes as being my core off switch, but healthy fats, such as avocado oil is another way to turn off hunger. And if you guys haven't had avocado oil, especially as a mayonnaise, you don't know what you're missing, because it is so delicious, so indulgent, and his chipotle lemon is absolutely addictive. But this is a positive addiction, unlike sugar and carbs. This is gonna turn off your hunger, and it's gonna give you control, and it's powerful. And you simply need to go, let me give you the website, you go to primalkitchen.com/jorgecruz. I'll spell it for you, that's P-R-M-A-L kitchen, www.primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise, J-O-R-G-E C-R-U-I-S-E.

So check it out, especially if you want to feel good, and I think it's a powerful biohack. Now, we're also brought to you by Dr. Tess. I love Dr. Tess. She is my dermatologist. She's also America's favorite dermatologist. She's been keeping me looking good and young for many years. I met her 10 years ago on the set of The Talk. With Sharon Osbourne out in LA. And I can tell you this, Dr., uh, Dr. Tess is literally the most passionate person and the most beautiful dermatologist about keeping us looking our best. And she created something with her husband, who both of them are Stanford-trained physicians, that helps us restore the skin tissue, the joints, and the nails and the hair with collagen. And collagen is made from bone broth, which 10 years ago was hard to find anywhere, and now it's in a lot of products like shakes and soups and that, made from the marrow of bones. But this protein that comes from within the bones is what helps us restore skin, joints, tissue, nails, hair, all that. So we look our best and feel our best. And you can't get this from steak or, or any kind of meat. It comes exclusively from the bone marrow of these animals. And what's great, they now come in tablets, these tiny little tablets. I take 3, and by taking these 3, guys, I can tell you, at almost 50, I feel and look, I think, my best. I can always look a little better. I can always get a little more sleep. You know, especially this weekend, I was with Tony Robbins, 15-hour days, got like 4 or 5 hours of sleep. So if you think I look a little tired, I am. But collagen will help restore the skin. So at least your skin remains taut and strong and beautiful, and your hair and joints and even your nails look your best. So check this out, go to shopdrtesse.com. I'll spell it for you, it's S-H-O-P-D-R-T-E-S-S.com. And the promo code, the coupon code is DRTESS, all one word, D-R-T-E-S-S, and you get 50% off for Lively Healthy Skin products, which are tablets of collagen with antioxidants that are gonna help you look your best. And I take 3 of these every single day, and I hope you check it out for 50% off, guys. So with that said, we are ready to start the show, guys. And you know, I'm just coming off of a 4-day week, 4-day process, I should say. It felt like a 4-day week. But 15-hour days, as I said, with Anthony Robbins. And so, I'm pumped because this event was called Unleash the Power Within. And it was all about really how to achieve your goals and how to unleash power within us to stay focused. And so, what I want to share with you on today's show, this is Law Number 9 of my Ask Big kind of like series I've been doing. We've been doing them throughout the last couple of months. We're almost there to Law 12, but as Law 9, the law is simple. It says, let everything support your active goal. I'll say it again, let everything you do support your active goal. And so I'm going to assume your active goal is the same as mine, and that is to control our hunger and our addiction to sugar, carbs, and salty snack foods. And if that is your goal, I'm going to say two things for you guys to really kind of consider. One, I want you to join my challenge, which starts on Monday, November 30th. It's totally free. Just go to zerohungerplan.com and you're ready to rock and roll. But two, listen to the podcast every day this week because I'm going to be giving you everything you need to prepare for the challenge that starts on Monday. And it's a 19-day challenge. We're doing Zoom live meetings with me and 200 people. We're actually expanding it to more than 200. So that's why I can invite you today to join the group and get your best friends in on this, family, friends, It's free. I only do this once a year, and I'm doing it this coming Monday, November 30th, right after Thanksgiving. So make this your way to start your new life ASAP, and you'll be done by December— I think it's 23rd, so before Christmas you'll be done with the plan. And then it's a lifestyle. You'll be able to do this ongoingly. At first, you'll lose up to 19 pounds in 19 days, but it's the lifestyle I do to stay young, because you're going to learn about everything from how to turn off hunger using electrolytes to how I break my fast because I end up eating one meal a day on this plan, and that's pretty powerful. But the meal I do is high fat, high protein. I'll teach you how to do that as well. And then I'll teach you how to use HIIT training as an option to turn down anxiety and stress because a lot of times we eat when we're hungry, but we eat when we're emotionally upset and stressed out as a way to calm us down. And I'll teach you how to use HIIT training to turn that off if you need it, and you can do it at home, no gyms required. And then I'll also teach you how to stay mindful. Mindfulness is so important because so many times, uh, we get so distracted. And by staying focused, you're going to have more power by being in the moment. And I'll teach you simple ways to do that so you can stay present and achieve that goal of turning off your hunger. We have zero hunger, because that's the goal here, by eating healthy foods and using electrolytes. So if that's your goal, guys, here's your homework right now. To get to that goal, I want you to say an affirmation with me that will allow you to make this something a part within you, because when you say something out loud, it becomes truth. If you keep it inside, it can kind of be buried and forgotten. But when you say it outside or write it out, or, you know, like for example, this podcast, there's the graphics on Instagram and at thejorgecruzeshow.com that you can download and you can print it out, you can put it on your refrigerator. So when you see it, you see it, hear it, say it out loud, becomes more true. So I have an affirmation that I want you to embrace right now. I'm going to say it once and then I want you to say it 3 times with me. All right? It's super important because what we say becomes what we do. All right? So the affirmation is simple. I only focus on one goal at a time. Sit up as straight as you can, chest out, shoulders back. Take a deep breath. Let's say it again. I only focus on one goal at a time. Let's do it one more time. I only focus on one goal at a time. Now, I hope that is something that resonates with you. You may be thinking, uh, I want to do 2 or 3 things at a time, but I'm going to tell you right now as your coach that if you want to control your hunger, you got to make that your focus. You got to make that what that's what you want. Focus in on it. And, and same thing goes with anything you want in your life, whether it's a health goal or a financial goal, a relationship goal. And all you have to do, the great thing is, and here's my tip, this is the, the, the homework I'm going to give you. Start with 20-minute increments. That's all you need to worry about. Just get a timer out, get your phone out, set a timer for 20 minutes. And in that 20-minute block, if you're doing one thing, if it's Instagram, If it's Facebook, well then do that for 20 minutes, but set your timer and then focus on something that hopefully is as important, hopefully more important, uh, whether it's a goal with your health, whether it's to prepare a meal, whether it's to eat a meal, whether it's to have, um, the ability to connect with a friend. Give yourself the ability for a minimum of 20 minutes to stay focused on that one activity. And I'll tell you, you will become like a laser beam. You'll put all your focus in on that and you'll accomplish it faster. And ironically, you'll be able to do more in less time because we think that if we focus on 3 or 4 goals at a time that we're gonna do more that way. What we end up doing is diffusing our focus, diffusing our power, and we don't accomplish anything. And I think Tony Robbins would agree that focus is power, my friends. So make that your homework right now. I look forward to hearing your results on this. Come back tomorrow, guys. We got a lot more to talk about as we get ready for the November 30th challenge, which is this coming next Monday. And if you haven't signed up, guys, I'm going to just say it right now, go to zerohungerplan.com and sign up for, for my 19-day challenge. You're going to learn the cutting-edge strategies, really the studies that will give you the information and the power to do this as a lifestyle. And it's something that's super delicious, super easy to do. It's going to save you time and money. You're going to learn how to finally get that control, radical control, over the sugar and carbs in your life. And you're going to be able to drop up to a pound every single day for 19 days. That's the power of this plan. So, uh, I look forward to you going over there, guys. I look forward to next Monday, and I'll see you back here, uh, tomorrow. All right, peace and purpose. Take good care. Bye, everyone. Well, I hope you enjoyed today's show, guys. I sure did. And, uh, I'm excited that, uh, you're listening and more importantly, hopefully sharing the podcast with loved ones. Because I can tell you, taking control of your hunger is so important. It's the number one thing that sabotages all good intentions, whether you're trying to eat well, exercise well, stay mindful. I can tell you, being able to turn off hunger is critical. And with that said, guys, I want to extend an invitation to you right now to join my 19-day challenge for free. This will be the only time in 2020 that I'll be doing this, guys, so join it. It starts on November 30th. It is the first Monday in November, uh, right after Thanksgiving, and I would love to have you and some loved ones join us. We have space available. You just need to go to zerohungerplan.com. That's what— with the Z— zerohungerplan.com. Check it out. It just takes a few minutes to fill out a survey I have, and then as my thank you to you you get access to this 19-day plan where I'll be coaching you for 19 days live on Zoom. We are going to be at about 200 people on the plan. There may be a couple people extra. I'm inviting some VIPs as well. And more importantly, you'll have a community of support for 19 days. I'll lead it, but you're going to meet some incredible people. And you know, the greatest lesson I think I've ever learned is that who you're with is who you become. And if you need that kind of nurturing environment where people are thinking positively, and moving forward and, and understanding that what we've been taught is wrong, that counting calories doesn't work. Zero Hunger is the plan for you guys, and I hope more importantly it'll become a lifestyle for you and something that you can do for the rest of your life so you keep the weight off and you stay at optimal health so you can work better, live a better day, and, and just enjoy life again. So if that sounds good, guys, I'll see you soon. Go to zerohungerplan.com. Thanks so much. Take care. Peace and purpose.
