Summary

In this episode, Chase and Chris talk about the good and bad signs to look for when you're trying to get healthier, lose weight, or get in shape. They start off by chatting about how fast time is flying and share some funny stories about their dads retiring.

Then, they dive into what they call red flags (things to stay away from) and green flags (things that are helpful and healthy) when it comes to health, nutrition, and fitness.

They talk about things like:

• Why labeling food as “good” or “bad” is harmful

• How using supplements to lose weight is usually a scam

• What to look for in a solid fitness or nutrition program

• Why mindset and habits matter way more than shortcuts

They also explain why it's important to focus on long-term success, not just fast weight loss. If you're tired of being confused by all the health advice out there, this episode will help you figure out what really matters and what to avoid.
