56: The Role Of Your Mindset In Your Health And Wellness

What Is This Episode About…

In this episode, I’m going to have a conversation with Kris Gethin, an internationally renowned trainer, CEO of a supplements brand (and a host of other businesses), and former Editor-in-Chief of a leading fitness website. Kris has established himself as one of the most versatile fitness entrepreneurs in the industry. Before founding Kaged Muscle, he competed as a lifetime natural pro bodybuilder, placing as high as second place in the Natural World Championships. As a personal trainer, his clients have included Bollywood celebrities, billionaire businessmen, and champion athletes. In between training clients, he has certified more than 800 personal trainers, and somehow, this tireless innovator found time to co-found a health club franchise called Kris Gethin Gyms. He has shared his extensive knowledge through books, newsletters, videos, and podcasts.

He’s also very active in the nutrition sector with Kaged Muscle, a company dedicated to creating cutting-edge, ultra-premium sports nutrition supplements for athletes of all types. All of Kris’s pursuits are consistent with his mission of helping others reach their health and fitness goals. When you first meet him, he’s like a mean-looking dude with his beard, tattoos and muscles upon muscles, but nothing could be further from the truth, because he’s a soft-hearted and lovable man.

He has tons of knowledge in many different areas, major among which is fitness and has achieved so much in his life. The main reason why I invited him over to the show is because he has some really great insights on the mental side of health and wellness. And I would like him to share that with us. He will dive into the importance of cutting toxic people and things out of our lives, the value of daily meditation, how to stay calm in challenging situations, the health benefits of eating slowly, and so much more that will teach us all how to live balanced, happy and healthy lives. Stay tuned for more.

Intro 2:29

Christy Code Red and you’re listening to rebel weight loss and lifestyle where we believe food pulls the power to heal or poisoned, and we believe our society has been misled regarding proper nutrition and weight loss. You’re in the right place if you’re looking for some straight up truth, because I’m here to shed light on the lies and brainwashing that has taken place over the past five decades. Thanks so much for listening.

Cristy 2:56

Christy Code Red author, entrepreneur haha It’s hard to do when I’m sitting down retired professional boxer, guys, I have a celebrity with me. And by the way, this celebrity is my neighbor and Chris, do you know that I saw a bobcat walking behind your house the other day? I eyeball in your chicken coop?

Kris 3:18

Wow, you’re kidding me. Do you know what I saw that same Bobcat, probably about four weeks ago go behind your place. Because when we were having a workout here in the morning, somebody came with one of my friends who hadn’t visited the place before said you have bobcats around yours, like no, he said, well, what’s that? Then? We saw a bobcat go up the hill by your place. So I guess it’s a residence.

Cristy 3:41

Yeah, I’m glad your chickens are nice and protected, because I was like, Oh, I almost shot him. But I didn’t. But

Kris 3:49

Pitbull, maybe that’ll help.

Cristy 3:51

Yeah. Guys, I’m so grateful to Kris Gethin. And by the way, I was spelling Chris’s name. I knew that he was my neighbor. And then I was spelling his name. So if you want to look him up as K ri s get then g th I and I’m so excited that he came on with me. And I’m just gonna dive in you guys I know this is um, a lot of you guys know who he is. But Chris, when somebody just looks at you, and they don’t know anything about you, just prejudging you, you’re just huge. You’re 225 226 I know you’re cutting right now, you’re just got all this muscle and when they look at you, and they don’t know anything about you, they’re gonna just think or that dude just must spend hours a day at the gym. They just have this wrong idea about someone who’s your size, but the reality is you actually own multiple companies. You are an endurance athlete, Iron Man competitions and ultra marathons which is absolutely unheard of with the guy of your size. You’ve done many different diets you can teach on many different subjects. So we really a jack of all trades here so if you don’t mind would you give us kind of your background, your bio, what you do what you’re into now and let us kind of get to know you a little bit here.

Kris 5:05

Yeah, for sure. Thank you very much for that intro. The weird accent comes from Wales. I grew up in Wales, many years ago up until my mid 20s. Then I left Wales to pursue a career in health and personal training and coaching. So, I lived in various countries India, Australia, and worked on cruise liners for a little while, and ended up in Boise in 2007. And I competed during this time when I got into weight training in natural bodybuilding. So drug tested bodybuilding. Up until then, I was racing motocross, and I succumb to quite a few injuries, which led to me to go to physio therapy, which alleviated me of the issues that I was dealing with some of the injuries and I actually enjoyed it. I enjoyed the feeling I enjoyed the endorphin rush. And, you know, it was very therapeutic to me, you know, life would be a white knuckle ride if I didn’t have some sort of activity every single day, that’s my double A batterie in the morning. So I continue to pursue that, you know, as a career. And, you know, I just started putting my you know, I always have my pivotal foot in the gym but I like to experiment with a lot of things I like to say knowledge without mileage is bull, you know. So I like to put in there the mileage in order to put out the knowledge to my followers, my customer base, my readers, and, you know, I do consider myself more of a hybrid athlete because I’ve always done some form of cardio every single day from my motocross days, and a lot of my peers and a lot of clients would even question it. So that’s why I decided I’d go from, you know, from one extreme to the next, and documented and actually do something like an Ironman Triathlon in as little as six months, but show that you don’t have to sacrifice muscle in order to do it. You know, you just have to train a little bit differently. You have to say To eat a little bit differently, and you know, not overtrain make sure that you, you know, prioritize your recovery, so you can dictate your performance. And that’s kind of, you know, my background and you know, I love it here in Boise, Idaho, it allows me to breathe and grow my hair back. As I mentioned, I’ve lived in various cities, but you know, it’s here I feel much more relaxed. And at the end of the day, my priority is my health span. I want to live to 100 years old or older, but in good health, you know, much like we see these Blue Zones that have a disproportionate amount of people living to 100 years old or older, in good health still seeking adventure. You know, I love life’s adventure and I want more of it.

Cristy 7:44

And you own a supplement company you own several gyms around the world you have. I always tell miles I was like, Ah, that Chris is out working me. He’s out working me.

Kris 7:54

I don’t know. I think you get up a lot earlier than me. So yeah, I do have a supplement company called kg muscle, and we kind of tried to merge the health sector with the sports performance sector. So no artificial colors, flavors. And you know, we third party test using patented organic fermented ingredients, and I am a gym franchise of all places in India. They’re all closed down at the moment. But, you know, I worked with a lot of celebrities in India in Bollywood and I transformed a lot of people there which hit mainstream media there and I could see those definitely a lack of education. With personal trainers, they weren’t considered as professionals. So we decided to open these gyms, which I call academies for personal trainers, but transforming clients as well with world-class facilities. So that’s why we decided to open them in India because they needed it. And yeah, I do a few things to keep myself busy. And one reason the one little funny thing I knew that you were a coach, when I walked into Barnes and Noble because I’d released a book called man of iron, and I go in there to see it go get a picture next to their book. And I see your book right next to mine. I’m like, Oh my god, that is my neighbor. I have no idea I had no idea I thought this is freaky. It was very, very weird.

Cristy 9:16

That is funny. Well one of the many things that I like about you is you are so well-rounded and you can speak to so many different subjects and you’re not just married to one idea which is really has caused me to back up what I because I’m pretty rigid and I’m like that Dad, dad, dad and I’m like Hold on a minute. You know, there are different ways to look at this. Now, a lot of people again they look at you, they think one thing about you but in order for you to accomplish show many things. You in fact you in scible you’re engaged at the time of this recording too simple. By the way, I’d like to retry out for the Wedding Singer. I’ll be giving you a sample of my song sample and a little bit. You guys actually have a meditation room in your house and you’ve shown this on social media and you’ve been open and transferred. I would love for you to talk about the whole mental aspect of this whole game of health and fitness and wellness and everything of you, you know, you talk about supplementation and diet and workout that it did it, but you hit hard on the mental aspect of you’re always I mean the gym drives, you’re always talking about gearing up your brain and starting off the morning with meditation. Talk to us a little bit about that.

Kris 10:26

Yeah, for sure thing. Yeah, everybody will have this perceived motion or based on what I look like this is a meathead covered in tattoos, or a lot of the time they think I’m a UFC fighter and looks like definitely deceiving. I’m definitely not a fighter. But yeah, when it comes to the meditation that sets you up for your day. You know, I think what is really happening right now with the Coronavirus gives us an opportunity for have a lot of introspective and sequencing because we don’t listen to our own voices because we’re always distracted. We’re in conversation with scrolling through social media. We’ve got deadlines To hit we’re lacking in sleep. When I think when we get to the end of our life, we’re not going to say, You know what? I wish I worked later at night. I wish I had less sleep. I think we’re going to say we didn’t listen to our own voice, and we didn’t meditate in order to manifest our lives. Because there’s a lot of people out there doing stuff that they don’t want to do. They’re in a career. They’re in a relationship that they don’t want because they haven’t manifested it but you will not be able to manifest it without meditating. First, you have to clear the slate first thing in the morning I tell people do not go on your phone. Don’t become a reaction that is going to set up your consciousness for the rest of the day. If you completely silence yourself, deep breaths and just think what is it you are what is it that you were put into this earth for was it to stay in bed to sleep in to feel nice and warm? Or is it to seek the purpose if you look at the insects if you look at the bees, if you look at the ants, if you look at the animals, they are doing That purpose in nature, we have been put here as well to have a purpose in nature, not asleep in not to just feel warm and nice and do nothing or do a job that we weren’t meant to do. So meditation really helps you seek within, seek that introspective and become a lot more calm. So we have what’s called, I’ll describe this the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. We are usually in sympathetic fight or flight, go, go and get anger, anger, rage, you know, react, where we should be more parasympathetic. So we can control our emotional state, in our careers, in our relationships within everything that we do, and enjoy it and be present. Because how many times do you go in a lot? It’s 2020. We’re to 2019 ago, because we weren’t present. We weren’t grateful. We weren’t At that moment, like we are in this conversation right now. Instead of thinking okay, what can I say? You’re actually listening, because you’ve trained yourself to be put into that parasympathetic state where we can think clearly.

Cristy 13:07

I love this and you talk. I mean, I wouldn’t say a lot, but you have mentioned quite a bit. I mean, I consume all your content, I learned so much, but about toxic people. And we definitely talked about that on Code Red, we cut people out of our life, talk to us about toxic people, toxic relationships, keeping that bad energy away from you.

Kris 13:25

Yeah. So you know, I don’t know if you know, much I’m sure you do about, you know, like the Power of Now, there’s a lot of books out there that I like, and you know, whatever you invite into your universe is usually what you’re going to get. So if you’re surrounded by people that are smokers, the chances of you becoming a smoker is more likely, it’s not necessarily going to happen, but it’s more likely because you get influenced. And it’s the same with people that are toxic. You know, the people that are gossiping all the time, they’re constantly negative, the chances of you encompassing that bad energy within you is going to be much More likely I was a massage therapist in a past life when I was on a cruise liners as well. And you could really sense the negative energies within some people. So at the end of the day, you just felt bad, you had no idea why. And then I was I started to connect the dots. And I thought, okay, maybe I’m not communicating on a conscious level, but subconsciously, it’s affecting me. So I’m very, very conscious of whom I associate with myself with I have a very, very small social circle. I like to trim the fat all the time, and I only associate myself that’s with people that actually put out positivity because then if I invite that into my universe, then I become a positive being as well. We are all vibrations. You know, the rocks outside that, you know the nature of that tree, and it’s the same within the human ability. We are all vibrations. Some of us are mismatches. That’s why you’ll see relationships. You know, people are in bad toxic relationships, but the think this is as good as it gets, because they just have a mismatch in vibration. So I like to put out a lot of positivity, but I only want to receive it at the same token. So I’m very conscious of who I associate myself with going back to those relationships. It’s not necessarily one person is bad and the other person’s good. They’re just not matched for each other. There’s probably good people out there for them. You just need to be aware of that.

Cristy 15:24

And like to say that you’re vibrating at a higher frequency. And I definitely think I do as well. So do you think that the meditation that you do on a regular basis really helps you be I mean, I think I know the answer the question but more sensitive to this energy of each other.

Kris 15:40

Yeah, much more aware, your eyes are open because you are at the moment, because how many of us eat a meal, and we read something, or we scroll through something or watching the TV because we’re not present, and we become a constant reaction, where we go through life without blinkers on, and we’re not aware of people owe their vibrations because we haven’t trained ourselves to be aware or At that moment. So you know, when I get to the end of 2020, I want to go, Wow, that felt like five years, not like five months, you know, and we can only do that by being present and being aware. And you know, having that positive attitude around us, because, you know, it’s amazing what a negative connotation can do for like, for the next five hours, you’ve just wasted five hours because of that one negative thing that affected you. So the more aware you are of that, you can translate it, digest it, take a few deep breaths, and then react to it.

Cristy 16:40

I’ve watched you do Q and A’s and you have just hundreds of people watching live at once and boy, the questions that come in are just crazy. But nothing seems to throw you off your game. You really react well. At one point I typed in. Chris, you are the king. I thought I was the queen of Q and A’s You are the king of Q and A’s, but you just don’t seem to let Don’t ever see you react. I just see you just respond show calm to each of those the people that are, you know, putting sexual stuff in there putting stuff that is just crazy. And you just seem to remain the same calm throughout that whole q&a.

Kris 17:15

Yeah, maybe I mean externally. Yeah. But the thing is, yeah, for instance, but I always, you know, I won’t always react especially on the lines. There’s just too many people that but you know, for instance, some people will say, hey, we’ll ignore the haters. Well, I’m not going to ignore the haters I never have and I never will. I’ll always address them because I want to change their impossibilities in their mind into possibilities, whether that’s a weakness, it can become a weapon, you know, myself and you are the same, that our clients are the same. We all have the ability. It’s just that some people put the lowest ceilings around themselves. Maybe it’s because of their upbringings, their habitual reactions are whatever. It’s up to us and with our platforms that we have available to us. Open those windows and doors of possibilities. I just tried to put out content that I wish that somebody had put out for me. When I was a kid back in 1930, when there was no internet, you know,

Cristy 18:12

You and I think are the same age. So when you go to eat your food, do you have connection with your food? Do you force yourself to do that? Because I eat in 37 seconds, standing over the sink? And I know it’s not good.

Kris 18:26

Yeah, I think there’s a book called slow eating, I can give you the information of it after it’d be a good link in the show notes, where it talks about the sympathetic parasympathetic nervous system, whether you’re eating fast if you’re conscious if you’re unconscious. So I always like to do a couple of things when I’m eating my food. When I’m cooking my food when I’m preparing my food, I have to be in a positive state. I want to give love to that food in order to receive that back. So I try not to get into any sort of like tough communication, or you know, like a business decision while I’m preparing that food. Before I eat the food, I’m not a religious person, I am spiritual, I’d say, I look at the food. And I imagine the texture, I look at the colors, I look at what that is providing to my lifeline and my future. And I appreciate it. Even if it’s dry chicken and rice, you know, I appreciate it. Because I know there’s some poor people out there that would never even have the opportunity to choose what they have on their plate, we have that opportunity. So I’m very grateful. And then I will take my time of shoe in 25 times or whatever it may be. I’m not counting and taking my time eating it, but I’ll spend the good three minutes doesn’t matter if I’m in company or not looking at the food, breathing, taking deep breaths and then slowing down that process of being conscious of it. And yeah, eat a few times a day. So you know, it’s a good part of my repetitive nature,

Cristy 19:51

As something that we can all get better at. I know this is something I don’t touch on very often with my community because I’m terrible at it and I’m certainly not going to start preaching something. I Don’t have down pat, talk to us about bedtime routine, you have a very strict bedroom boundaries and a strict bedtime routine, which is huge on Code Red, we just talked about real food, water and sleep, that’s the foundation of Code Red. And you do that really well.

Kris 20:14

So for instance, you know, you’re going to live much longer without food than you are without sleep. So that just goes to show you how important sleep is. And, you know, throughout the day, other than when I’m working out, I’m doing everything that I can to lower my cortisol levels. So that’s why I eat when I’m very slow and present and purposefully. And same with sleep, you know, my performance mentally and physically is dictated by my recovery. So sleep is a big proportion of that I used to suffer very, very badly from sleep. I was only sleeping like three hours a night because I had mold toxicity from when I was living in Mumbai, India. And you know, I was just walking around as a reaction, anger, frustration, depression the whole time. And then I circled it all the way back to my sleep. So if I look at some of the content or books I wrote back then I thought, well, Who was that guy? Completely different, very dark place. So that is something that I prioritize now, especially in this day and age when so many of our clients have an issue with sleep. And if their cortisol levels are higher, because they’re not sleeping well, they’re not going to be able to burn as fast as efficiently as they once could, or build muscle or perform as they could. So before I go to bed at my written material usually starts about two hours before minimum. And usually at that time that you know, I’ll go outside, I’ll try to take in some of the, you know, the restorative red rays from the sun. So at sunrise and that sunset, a lot of the red rays which are very restorative to your health come out, so that’s when I try to go outside and get that vitamin D hits. It’s very calming, as you’ve practiced with birth, and I’ll do that at the same time. But then I’ll try to knock out all artificial light. So if I am exposed to my phone, my laptop, my TV, or halogen lamps or anything like that, I’ll usually wear my blue light blocking glasses to block it out or I’ll try to eliminate the lights altogether. And I’ll wear like long sleeve top and bottom because we have photoreceptors on our skin as well. Because I’m a very sensitive sleeper some people don’t have to do this, but I do. And you know, I try to read at this, you know, good hour before bed and come on mind because I am just so go go all day. I can go to bed wired and tired. Which you know, I’m trying to sleep but my brain is racing. And you know, I track my sleep and I look at my sleep score in the morning. I’m like, Oh my god, I’m not gonna perform as optimally as I possibly could. This is a day that I could be wasting. I have an app on my phone called countdown and it counts how many weekends I have left. How many meals I have left how many holidays I have left based on, you know how I’ve populated it, you know, so I think on it, I need to do better. So I’ll do whatever I can, you know, to really optimize my sleep. I Earth myself when I’m in bed as well I’ve got a grounding mat, I have what’s called like a weighted sheets. It’s a 25 pound weighted blanket. So it feels like you’re being hugged and cuddled, which again, can put you into that parasympathetic nervous state when you’re sleeping as well. So I’d say those are the main things that I do. I also have a cold shower, because a lot of studies have proven as well if your body temperature is elevated, it’s very hard for you to get into your REM and deep sleep cycles. So I’ll always have a cold shower before bed and that generally helps me log into a deeper night’s sleep and obviously lights completely blacked out. No Standby Lights, I switch off the Wi Fi The phone is on airplane mode outside of my room. Since no destruction no electrical devices allowed in bed,

Cristy 24:03

Show many great tips. I know that people contact the code read Help Desk, and they always want to know I can’t sleep, can’t sleep, can’t sleep, they want to go right for Ambien, but they gotta you know, they need to get that cool dark room. I don’t know what temperature but I think the optimum rages between 64 and 66 degrees and you got to cool it down. He did blink. And we always say Hold on, you’re going right for the drugs, but you ain’t even doing what you need to do to set up you got kids and pets in the bed, dirty laundry on your bed. bright outside. Hydration. Now I’ve been told, and I’ve repeated this and I don’t even know just a 1% drop in your hydration could yield a 10% drop in strength. Is that true? Or is that an old wives tale?

Kris 24:44

Oh, no, no, that’s true. Chances are when I’ve been training clients one on one and I see that performance is down. I can usually guess it’s nothing to do with their food. Even if they didn’t eat that good. They still tend to perform when they’re down in hydration. That’s when I really see the lack in performance because they’re really Speed is done, the brain isn’t functioning as it wants good. And obviously, if we are made up of around 70 or 80% fluid dependence on the individual with electrolytes, our mineral balance can be thrown off. We’re just not going to perform. We can’t contract as quickly and as hard as we should be able to. So hydration is a huge, huge component. I find it definitely more in Europeans lacking in hydration because I think coffee and tea is hydration, and they don’t come out to restaurants and fill up your water or offer you water in the first place. It’s really bad in other countries, I find us isn’t so bad, except I find that people in the US just over consume caffeine, which does have a diuretic effect. So you know, whenever you drink a coffee, you’d need to chase that down with like two glasses of equal volume of water just to rehydrate yourself. You know, and it doesn’t just come from fluid. It’s what’s in that fluid as well, you know, so I have what’s called like reverse osmosis water so it gets rid of all the chlorine or the heavy metal contaminants, but now you need to remineralize that water so you can like go to the supermarket buy some trace minerals and just put some fluid in it providing that you’re hydrating enough and you’ll find that your performance will be increased.

Cristy 26:19

Yeah, people say well I’m you know, it’s not just you’re used to pulling in a 305 deadlift and you walk in dehydrated, you’re gonna pull maybe, you know, 270 that’s not what we’re talking about moms unloading the groceries, we’re talking about just everyday function. When I say dropping strength. I mean, just picking up your three-year-old guys, it’s not just that so don’t just think well, I don’t go to the gym. This doesn’t apply to me. It all

Kris 26:40

Applies to you. Energy is the big thing, energy. If you’re lacking in hydration, you’re probably going to be lacking in energy like with my fiancé, Sibel, she has an inactive thyroid. If she is down in hydration one bit, it affects her you know, so always trying to stay on top of that, you know, even though you may feel like me Tag going around with a half gallon jug, do that, because it’s a good reminder, I get some of my clients to put a little bit of masking tape on there. And you know if they’ve got a smaller bottle for instance, like a flask, and I get them to mark off every time that they’ve filled it up, so that’s given them a form of accountability. Okay, I need to fill this up three times today in order to meet my quota.

Cristy 27:22

Yeah, it absolutely guys, I mean, come on, you know, you’ve you’ve heard me say it now you got it from Chris here. I keep saying I’m going to stick with the mental aspect of what, you know, I’m going to pick Chris’s brain on the mental and then I keep going, Well, what about this? What about this, but guys, I’m gonna, Chris, could you just leave us off with just some final thoughts for these people that are in these uncertain times? they’re just they’re dealing with stress and anxiety and uncertainty. Anything any words of wisdom that you can leave my audience with?

Kris 27:51

Yeah, for sure. For sure. No, was Thanked you. Yeah. And, you know, I know we all talk about social distancing at the moment with people but socially distanced yourself from bad food. And then people are using this time, okay, we’re going to go and hoard everything, become lazy, inactive and eat bad. This is your opportunity right now to get ahead. Because of course, you know, if you’re active, you can work out at home. There’s no reason why you can’t, but there is no reason why you cannot feed your lifeline, which is your body with good, healthy, wholesome food. There’s no reason why you cannot do that. So you know, social distance yourself with bad food, the trans fats, all the sugars, that’s going to have an effect on you, at this time where people are panicking, because that could give you even more panic. It’s not going to give a good chemical reaction, your brain in order for you to feel good. But you know, this is what I tell people. You know, this is where you can look at perception. There are people in prison, you know, for doing things that they shouldn’t have done, but they’re locked down for 10 years, maybe more, however, they’re making Best wishes. Situation, you can make the best of any situation, you just need to change that perception in your brain and be appreciative of what you have. You have one life on this earth dependent on what religion that you believe in, and you only have a certain amount of time to live that life to your fullest potential. So every decision that you make today, when you look at that plate in front of you, is either going to heal you or harm you. So please, please, please do make the choice of healing your future. And especially if you’re a parent, especially if you have people around you that you are influenced, so please make that positive choice.
