What people are saying
From a CF Warrior
"I’ve read countless resources, medical articles, and blogs. Nothing has ever hit me like The CF Warrior Code. Tim doesn’t just talk about the disease — he talks about the fight. His honesty about the setbacks, his humor about the daily grind, and his tactical approach to health gave me something no doctor ever could: a battle plan. Since applying the 5 Pillars and using his HIIT+Pause workouts, my energy is up, my airway clearance is more effective, and for the first time in years, I feel like I’m in charge of my health instead of CF running my life. This isn’t just a book. It’s the manual every CF patient — and their family — has been waiting for."
From a Caregiver
"As the mother of a teenager with cystic fibrosis, I have felt overwhelmed, scared, and often powerless. Reading The CF Warrior Code was like having Tim sit in our living room and hand us a blueprint for hope. He breaks down complex medical and lifestyle strategies into something we can actually apply every day. More importantly, he reminds my son that he’s not alone — that he’s a Warrior. We’ve started using the nutrition strategies and the regeneration tools, and I’ve watched my son become more confident, disciplined, and determined. This book hasn’t just helped him fight CF; it has helped our entire family live with more strength and purpose."
From a Healthcare Professional
"As a respiratory therapist, I’ve worked with CF patients for over 15 years. I picked up The CF Warrior Code expecting a motivational story — but what I found was a tactical health framework I now recommend to my patients. Tim blends lived experience with practical strategies in a way that is both inspiring and actionable. The way he reframes exercise, mindset, and recovery is groundbreaking for anyone battling CF or chronic illness. I’ve seen firsthand how patients light up when they realize they can weaponize their routines instead of feeling trapped by them. This book belongs in the hands of every CF clinic, caregiver, and patient. It is more than inspiration — it’s a revolution in how we view resilience."

About The
CF Warrior Code
Introduction
Tim Sweeney sets the stage by reframing life with cystic fibrosis as a battlefield, not a diagnosis. He shares his personal journey of resilience — from the daily fight for breath to undergoing a double-lung transplant and pushing himself to run the NYC Marathon less than a year later. With grit, humor, and raw honesty, he explains that there is no rulebook for CF, but there can be a code — a set of guiding principles to fight smarter, live stronger, and take back control. This introduction invites readers to step into the mindset of a CF Warrior, where every choice becomes a weapon, every routine becomes a strategy, and every moment is a chance to rise above the odds.
Part 1
Understanding CF Health
Lays the foundation for the fight by helping readers truly know their enemy. Tim breaks down cystic fibrosis in clear, relatable terms — not as a stack of medical charts, but as the opponent you’re battling every single day. This section explains how CF affects the lungs, digestion, and overall body systems, and why those challenges demand a Warrior’s mindset. Tim also highlights the importance of tracking key health markers, understanding the impact of treatments, and recognizing how choices in exercise, nutrition, and recovery influence long-term outcomes. By the end of Part I, readers don’t just understand CF in theory — they see the battlefield clearly, and they’re ready to step onto it with purpose and strategy.
Part 2
The CF Health Pillars
Introduces the backbone of the CF Warrior Code — the five essential pillars that every CF Warrior must build on: Exercise, Nutrition, Regeneration, Medicine, and Mindset. Tim shows how each pillar works together to form a complete system of strength, resilience, and strategy. Rather than treating health as random trial and error, this section reframes it as a structured battle plan. Readers will learn how to use workouts as therapy, food as fuel, recovery as a weapon, medicine as an ally, and mindset as the ultimate force multiplier. By mastering these pillars, CF Warriors can transform their health from fragile to fortified, building a foundation that supports every fight ahead.
Part 3
Living the Code
Where the Warrior mindset moves from theory to daily life. This section shows readers how to take the principles of the Code and apply them in real-world routines, habits, and choices. Tim shares battle-tested strategies for turning consistency into strength, discipline into freedom, and setbacks into fuel for resilience. Through personal stories, tactical examples, and clear action steps, readers learn how to integrate the 5 Pillars into every part of their lives — from the way they breathe and move, to the way they eat, rest, and think. By the end, “living the Code” becomes more than a phrase; it’s a lifestyle that equips CF Warriors to fight with purpose, live with strength, and defy the odds every single day.
