#95 - Choose Allies For Your Dreams

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. Happy Tuesday, it's Jorge Cruise and welcome to the Jorge Jorge Cruise Show. Uh, it's November 24th, uh, it's Turkey Week. Welcome guys, I'm super excited you're here right now. Uh, this is the number one podcast that really helps you get radical control over your sugar, carbs, and salty snack food addictions. This is something that I know personally because it was something I was addicted to for years as a kid and through college. And for me, knowing how to overcome this and knowing that it's not my fault too was super important because biologically we are hardwired, especially under times of stress, overwhelm, loneliness, to crave things that give us higher serotonin levels and dopamine levels. And as much as exercise can give you that, unfortunately, so can sugar and carbs. And that's why we're not dumb when our biology craves this, especially late at night or throughout the day if you're in quarantine like we are here in San Diego. And so I want to give you an edge today and continue the #AskBig series and really give you the edge to know that if you have allies that can be a part of what I would call a fit family or fit tribe, you're going to be able to accomplish your dreams and goals faster because who you're with is who you become. This is something I learned years ago from Tony Robbins, and I'll tell you, he's absolutely right, because if you surround yourself with other addicts of sugar and carbs, guess what's going to happen? You're going to be just like them forever. As much as you may try to do this, you're not going to be successful. And if you're joining me next Monday on the 19-day challenge I have called Zero Hunger Plan, um, you know, you're going to want to listen to today's show, especially because you're going to want to create an environment, almost like a bubble or a shield, where people that may say, hey, you're too old, don't do this, or hey, come on, it's the holidays, do it after the holidays, you don't want to lose weight right now, you don't want to get healthy— you want to shield yourself from those people, because unfortunately, if you listen to them, you'll, you'll become that. And who we're with is who we become. So today's show is super exciting for that, and I think it'll give you the edge so you can really accomplish this goal and not have distractions. And that's a nice way to put it, right? So welcome to the show, guys. Uh, before we get started, I want to give a shout out to our sponsors. A very special thank you to Primal Kitchen for being our sponsor for such a while here. They're giving us a free lemon chipotle mayo made with avocado oil. Now, avocado oil is one of the things I'm going to be putting on the list next Monday, uh, as a way to suppress appetite, as a biohack. I use a dollop of their mayo, of the Primal Kitchen chipotle lemon mayo, on my steak almost every single day. It is a healthy fat that is anti-inflammatory. Any avocado oil or avocado product is anti-inflammatory. And unfortunately, most salad dressings and most mayonnaise are made with soybean oil or canola oil, which are incredibly inflammatory. You have to avoid those like the plague because they really not only will cause weight gain, but it'll cause inflammation in joints, your skin, it'll cause you to age faster, it'll cause all sorts of issues. So Primal Kitchen's awesome. It was created by Mark Sisson, a dear friend of mine, my nutrition my nutrition mentor for almost 17 years now, and he's 67 years young and looks phenomenal. He's the goal I want to be when I'm 67. And I'll tell you, he did this because of his own passion for improving health and suppressing appetite with healthy fats. So if you're interested in getting a free lemon mayo chipotle, simply go to primalkitchen.com/jorgecruise. I'll spell it for you. It's P-R-I-M-A-L kitchen. Www.jorgeruise.com/jorgecruise, J-O-R-G-E C-R-U-I-S-E, and you'll get your free Chipotle lemon mayo. It's absolutely amazing, and I would bolster up on that if you're joining the challenge next week, because anything with avocado oil is good to go. We're also brought to you by Joovv. Now, Joovv is one of my favorite products to kind of give for the holidays. It's a red light therapy device that literally comes in a small format, there's a bigger one, and there's a really large one. Whatever size you get based on your budget or your needs, What the red light therapy does for me is it really helps me overcome seasonal mood disorder. For me, that's something I struggle with as we've now entered the holidays and it's darker sooner and colder. This light is bright red. It looks like you're at a beautiful sunset or sunrise in Maui or Hawaii or some beautiful location. And that magic light helps us feel good. And it's also a light you can use at night that won't cause you to stay up at night. So it's magical. And they're giving us a free gift with purchase. You simply need to go to their website It's juve.com/jorge. I'll spell it for you. It's juve.com/jorge. J-O-R-G-E. Check them out. You'll get a free gift on checkout with that promo code, JORGE, in all caps, J-O-R-G-E. All right. And finally, we're brought to you by Dr. Tess. If you guys don't know who she is, she's America's favorite dermatologist. She's my dermatologist. I met her over 10 years ago on set at CBS Studios at at the set of The Talk with Sharon Osbourne. She was doing a beauty segment, I was doing a weight loss segment, and we bumped into each other and we became great friends and we've been friends ever since. She is trained at Stanford, her husband and her met at Stanford, and they've created a collagen product that they're giving us 50% off in these little tiny tablets. I take 3 every day. And collagen, if you don't know, is what keeps your skin, your hands, your joints, your nails looking young. And so many of us don't get this because you gotta eat bone marrow traditionally to get collagen, and that's a hard thing to do. It's a lot of work to boil bones and then scrape out the marrow and eat that, but that is what gives you this beautiful skin that you can have. Or you can take these tablets. They're called Lively Healthy Skin. She created this with her husband. Truly is a breakthrough in beautiful skin. We also did a podcast recently together. If you didn't see it, make sure to check it out. But Dr. Tess is giving us 50% off her Healthy Lively Skin, so check it out. You simply go to shopdrtess.com. I'll spell it for you. That's S-H-O-P, Dr. D-R, Tess, T-E-S-S, .com. Check that out. So with that said, guys, let's get started with today's show. It's all about understanding that you gotta choose your allies for the dreams you have in your life. You gotta choose allies. And a lot of us, you know, we think that who we're with is, you know, we have no choice to kind of change that. And I'll tell you, whether it's family, friends, you do have the power to select your allies, because a lot of times we don't have allies. You would think the word friend or family means allies, that they're there on your side, but so many times, as much as I hate to say it, our own families can sabotage us. I know growing up in a Latin family, my grandmother Maria, she would say, "Tú tienes que ser gordito." And if I translate that for you, it means that you have to be a fatty. And I didn't know that that was a bad thing. She just wanted me to be, plump because she thought that would help me from getting sick and it would just give me that extra energy if I ever went into famine mode, I guess, which of course she was right, but you know, this is in the '80s and '90s, there were no famines going on and I've yet to see a famine in my life, so I feel like having all that extra fat, I mean, it can serve a purpose, but for most of us, we get at least one meal a day, I hope, or two. Now, if you're following my plan, it'll be one meal a day, but regardless, if you struggle with family and and friends sabotaging you, I want to tell you, you got to create a shield from these people and try to minimize extra contact with them. You know, you got to love your family and you'll probably see them on Thursday, you may not, but you got to minimize how much time or access you have to people that are turning you in the wrong direction. And then more importantly, you got to replace that interaction with people that are positive. So I have a challenge for you here. If you need a tribe, a healthy tribe of people, I want you to join my ZeroHungerPlan.com challenge. It starts this Monday. There's over 200 people signed up. We're opening it up to more, and you'll have me as part of your tribe, as part of your allies, but then you'll have 200 people that are also trying to change their lives, and we'll meet every single day for 19 days. You'll drop up to 19 pounds in 19 days, and more importantly, you're gonna learn a lifestyle that will allow you to turn off hunger with electrolytes. You'll learn other ways to turn off hunger as well, and more importantly, you're gonna feel incredible, and you're gonna meet a community of people that will become friends long-term. We'll have a Facebook group that you can interact on as well. It'll be a great place, and it starts this Monday. So my challenge to you is go to ZeroHungerPlan.com and sign up, because you're gonna have access to these people and myself for free. It's totally amazing. And remember, who you're with is who you become. So with that said, I'm going to do an affirmation that will allow you to kind of make that more present in your life because you have to be awake to this. Because if you are surrounded with people that are sabotaging you and you wonder why you're not successful, that's part of the reason. It's because these people are in your life and you need to make sure that who you're with are the people you want to become. So here's the affirmation. I become who I'm with. So stand up tall, chest out, shoulders back, and say it 3 times with me right now. I become who I'm with. Let's say it again. I become who I'm with. One more time. I become who I'm with. So with that said, guys, please share today's message, today's invitation to join the group with your loved ones. If you have people that you know should be part of this plan, especially if they're positive people and they want to get healthy, have them join our challenge and you join our challenge, guys. You just have to go to zerohungerplan.com and sign up today. It's a few-minute process. You answer a couple questions, a survey I have, and then as a thank you, I'll be emailing everyone this Friday the invitation, the Zoom link, and all the information and what you got to do. And I can tell you, it will transform your life and the people you meet on the plan will become your fit family, your tribe, and that tribe will be a tribe that moves you forward. And that's so important during these holidays and throughout our lives. So I hope that makes good sense, guys. Please share today's message and podcast with 3 loved ones, and I'll be back tomorrow. All right, have a great Tuesday. Peace and purpose. 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 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.

Uh, we are going to be at about 200 people on the— there may be a couple people extra. I'm inviting some VIPs as well. And more importantly, you'll have a community of support, uh, 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 more 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.
