    Leading the Metabolic Health Revolution S3E54

    We are grateful for this fascinating conversation with, Dr. Robert Cywes, aka “The Carb Addiction Doc, as he explains how and why he embraced the concept of carbohydrate addiction long before it entered mainstream discussion. Though Dr. Cywes supports and prescribes ketogenic principles, he posits that carbs aren’t inherently the enemy, but that humans have a broken relationship with them, and our chronically excessive consumption of them causes us harm. He also shares what he’s discovering through CCTA (coronary computed tomography angiography) imaging and Cleerly AI plaque analyses, as he investigates the relationship between low-carb diets and arterial plaque creation, with early trends pointing toward potential benefits for heart health. When asked whether his research will become a peer-reviewed paper, Dr. Cywes has a surprising answer: he’s doing something more impactful. He’s working to help rewrite the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners’ cardiac assessment guidelines. We also discuss his opinion on the current and forthcoming GLP medications and how they work. He selectively uses very-low-dose GLP-1 medications in some patients. He tells why, and also why a ketogenic approach remains the foundation of his treatment, and one he says he would never abandon for himself, nor use a GLP-1. There’s a lot more information packed into this interview. Dr Cywes is very generous with his time and information. I could listen to him impart wisdom all day. NOTES Re the Angelina Jolie gene Angelina Jolie carries a mutation in the BRCA1 gene, which significantly raised her lifetime risks of developing breast cancer (estimated at 87%) and ovarian cancer (estimated at 50%). In 2013 she had a preventive double mastectomy to lower her breast cancer risk to under 5%. In 2015, she had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, as a preventive step against ovarian cancer, which had previously caused her mother's death. A CCTA with FFR is Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography with Fractional Flow Reserve, a non-invasive heart test. It combines a detailed 3D CT scan of your heart arteries with advanced computer analysis. This test shows both the structure of your blood vessels and how well blood flows past any blockages.

    This is Even More Dangerous | GLP-1s Go Underground S3E53

    This conversation was inspired by a recent video of a teenaged US “diet coach” suggesting illegal use, as well as dosage, of retatrutide, while offering a means to acquire it on the gray market. Retatrutide is currently illegal to acquire in the US and Canada. Its expected release, upon approval by the FDA in the US, is late 2027 or early 2028. Retatrutide is a “stacked” GLP-1, meaning it activates three hormone receptors. These are: * GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1): Lowers blood sugar, slows stomach emptying, and signals fullness to the brain. * GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): Stimulates insulin release and works with GLP-1 to improve metabolic function. * Glucagon (GCG): Stimulates energy expenditure and helps the body break down stored fat and liver fat. Retatrutide has been observed to reduce weight by as much as 28% within a 52-week period, the speed of which can only assume muscle and bone loss. Coach Tony Stewart has been helping clients who have unsuccessfully taken, or come off of, single-activator (agonist) GLP-1s. Tony walks us through the many hurdles GLP-1s present, and explains the potentially negative impact of retatrutide, which is still being studied. Retatrutide is a bundle of “unknowns,” especially when taken without medical supervision, a nutrition education program, or exercise for muscle preservation, and worst of all, when purchased on the gray market, where the ingredients are unknown. Notes from Tony on info given in the video: * Longest randomized semaglutide trial: ~4 years * Participants: 17,604 * Stopped because of side effects: * Semaglutide: 16.6% * Placebo: 8.2% * Main reason for stopping: Gastrointestinal side effects (especially nausea and diarrhea) * Total deaths: * Semaglutide: 375 (4.3%) * Placebo: 458 (5.2%) Of those - 16% had Serious adverse events of which 33.4% were Semaglutide and 36.4% were Placebo. The semaglutide group experienced fewer serious adverse events overall, largely because they had fewer major cardiovascular events…the primary outcome the study was designed to assess.

    BEYOND TALK THERAPY | Mental Health Starts on Your Plate S3E52

    Beyond Talk Therapy: How Carnivore is Reshaping Mental Health Treatment, with Gracie. In this episode, we talk with Gracie, a graduate student and intern finishing her counseling degree, who’s exploring what happens when you bring nutrition into the therapy room. Gracie makes the case that diet deserves a real seat at the table alongside talk therapy and medication when it comes to treating emotional distress and psychological disorders, not as a replacement, but as a piece that’s too often left out. Gracie has followed a Carnivore diet for several years, and so has her mother. Gracie shares what she’s personally witnessed in both of their personalities since making the switch, and why that experience shaped her interest in the connection between food and mental health. We cover a lot of issues, and she also talks about Bitten Johnson’s work on sugar addiction, and how it intersects with emotional regulation, plus how somatic therapy and breathwork alongside dietary change. Gracie closes with real talk for anyone struggling right now: change is hard to do alone, so find your people. Whether that’s a spouse, a friend, or an online community, having support in your corner makes all the difference when you’re rebuilding your relationship with food and yourself.

    From 95 kg to Freedom: Meriam’s Carnivore Transformation S3E50

    Meriam started at 95 kg (209 lbs) and lost 37 kg (about 82 lbs) in just seven months on Carnivore. But the numbers on the scale are only part of her story. In this conversation, Meriam shares how the bloating disappeared almost immediately, her chronic wrist pain vanished, and her facial acne cleared up for the first time in years. She talks about the mental shift too: she’s happier, more calm, with more emotional stability, real energy, and improved sleep. Meriam began on the stricter Lion Diet (beef, lamb, salt, and water) before adding eggs, butter, and fish to support her hormones, after her menstrual cycle got thrown off. She eats one meal a day (OMAD), and says it’s the most sustainable approach she’s found. Now Meriam is paying it all forward by moderating a Dutch carnivore Facebook community, and creating over 300 videos to help others start their own journey, even as Dutch media stays skeptical of the diet, and advertising bans public meat and beef advertisements in several cities. Meriam has helped instigate organization of the Dutch Meatup, slated for 20 September 2026 in lovely Boxtel, a semirural town in southern surrounded by protected nature. If you’re curious what Carnivore looks like from the Netherlands, this one’s for you.
