Susan and I dive into the hidden truths about the pet food industry, including how condemned animals and waste products are legally allowed in kibble and even raw pet foods, and how misleading labels trick consumers into believing their pets are eating “chicken” when it’s actually feed-grade material. We also discuss the regulatory loopholes, lack of enforcement by the FDA, and why choosing human-grade food is the only way to ensure quality for your pets. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Susan Thixton is a leading pet food consumer advocate and founder of Truth About Pet Food. After losing her own dog to cancer caused by preservatives in kibble, she dedicated her career to exposing the corruption, hidden practices, and lack of transparency in the pet food industry. Through education, advocacy, and legal petitions, she pushes for stricter regulations and empowers pet owners to make safer choices for their animals.

We discuss the following:

• Meet Susan Thixton
• Proving kibble’s link to cancer

• Difference between food and feed
• Are quality pet foods the same?
• Is homemade pet food a gray area?

What if the sugar diet isn’t working because of sugar, but because of protein restriction?

FGF-21 is similar to a metabolic reset switch, powerful when used occasionally, but risky if left on all the time. Chronic activation often comes with trade-offs such as muscle loss, hormonal changes, and nutrient deficiencies. Robert Sikes and I talk about how the Sugar Diet may leverage FGF-21 but that there are ways to leverage FGF-21 without using sugar.

Robert Sikes is the founder of Keto Brick. He has been following a ketogenic lifestyle for over a decade and turned professional in bodybuilding in 2023. Through his work, Robert coaches athletes and everyday people to optimize performance, build muscle, and achieve sustainable health without extreme dieting or performance-enhancing drugs.

In this episode, I sit down with Robert Sikes (aka Keto Savage) to unpack his latest self-experiment: eating 4,000 calories per day with 400g of fat and minimal protein, and doubling his testosterone in just 2 weeks.

We discuss the following:

• Why the sugar diet became popular
• Robert’s diet experiment
• Are some not built for low carb?
• Recommended protein macros
• What is VO2 max testing
• How long to get fat adapted
• Robert’s keto bodybuilding program
• Optimal testosterone range
• Lessons from 11 years of keto
• Robert’s cacao sourcing journey
• Where to find Robert Sikes
• Judy's pull-up journey (bonus)
