Dr Robert Cywes MD, Dopamine Fasting Serotonin Loading, Sugar Addiction, & The Truth Behind The Keto Diet & Diabetes :KKP 118

Today we welcome a specialist in Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery for adults and adolescents, Dr. Robert Cywes. He has been doing bariatric surgery for 18 years, performing over 8,000 surgeries. Dr. Cywes’ medical training began in Cape Town, South Africa, where he received his medical degree from The University of Cape Town. In 1989, Dr. Cywes moved to North America and completed a year-long residency in Pediatric Surgery at Ohio State University’s Columbus Children’s Hospital. After completing his pediatric surgery fellowship at the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, Dr. Cywes was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Pediatric and Fetal Surgery at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee where he did hepatic stem cell research. During this time, Dr. Cywes became increasingly interested in adolescent obesity and the impact of the liver and metabolic syndrome on young patients. Dr. Cywes’ research led to a comprehensive understanding of the toxicity of chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption as the primary cause of obesity and so-called obesity-related co-morbidities, and he became interested in developing a clinical program to treat obese patients using this knowledge. Dr. Cywes relocated to Jacksonville, Florida where he joined the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the Nemours Children’s Clinic and Wolfson Children’s Hospital. This led to a national meeting in Jacksonville where guidelines for adolescent obesity surgery were established. Dr. Cywes established JSAPA to continue his work in both adolescent and adult obesity treatment and surgery, and in 2013 opened a practice in Palm Beach County, Florida. He now works with a highly experienced team of professionals from a variety of medical sub-specialties to better care for obese patients. He has developed the practice into an internationally recognized Center of Excellence for obesity surgery. The practice uses a cognitive behavioral therapy approach that addresses carbohydrate addiction, along with bariatric surgery, to help patients manage their obesity long term. In this episode, Dr. Cywes opens the show discussing the correlation between carbohydrates and toxic drugs. Our bodies do not need to run on sugar; our bodies prefer a keto lifestyle. Also, Dr. Cywes explains effective methods of treating diabetes and what's wrong with conventional treatments. Stay tuned, as Dr. Cywes discusses dopamine fasting, serotonin loading, and how our feedback controls for survival work. ▸ [FREE] 🔥E-BOOK: "The Keto Kickstart Guide: 4 Steps to Burning Fat Instead of Sugar" | http://www.ketokickstartguide.com Keto Kamp Kits: http://www.ketokampkit.com Dr Phillips CBD Oil, Keto Fruit Chews & Topical Cream http://www.drphilliipscbd.com/ketokamp My Favorite Keto Snack http://www.paleovalley.com use KKA for 15% off [01:10] About Dr. Cywes Cywes recognized the connection between carbohydrates and toxic drugs within himself. Addicts are usually not able to see how bad it is within themselves. He moved to Canada, where he completed his general surgery residency and specialized in Minimally Invasive Surgery at the University of Toronto. Also, Dr. Cywes earned a Ph.D. in Liver Carbohydrate Metabolism and the effect of glucose metabolism on liver transplant immunology. Cywes learned that the body doesn’t need to run on sugar. In fact, it prefers a keto method of running. He also learned that fatty liver doesn’t come from the consumption of fat. It happens from infusing insulin and sugar. [10:00] About LDL LDL is a complex molecule. It’s a truck on the road transporting fat on your body. LDL will lay down fat over an injury. HDL will come along and remove the fat. LDL is not causing the injury; it’s desperately trying to heal the injury. Think of the liver like a subdivision. You have all the houses which are the different cells. Tiny roads that go to each house. Think about a bunch of garbage that blocks the road. You can’t get food and oxygen downstream to those cells. Eventually, those cells will die. As you infuse sugar into the liver, you will see that swelling. [14:15] The Difference Between Ketosis and Diabetic Ketoacidosis The difference between ketosis and diabetic ketoacidosis is 5.5 – 6 grams of sugar. It’s half to one gram difference. It’s an incredibly small difference. An apple has 25 grams of sugar in it. That’s a five-fold increase in blood sugar. Think about how resilient the body is to take sugar out of the bloodstream. [16:15] Flaws With Conventional Approaches to Diabetes Nothing fixes diabetes. Drugs just slow down the process. Once someone goes on the drugs, they are told to eat sugar. There is a misconception that the body has to have sugar. If you don’t have carbs going in, then you are not going to have the type 2 effect. If you manage your blood sugar tightly, you don’t have insulin resistance. Chronic carbohydrate consumption will cause resistance. If the body protects itself by resistance, then it doesn’t matter what the source of the insulin is. A1C is an injury to blood cells because they are damaged. [20:35] Effectively Treating Diabetes If we are going to treat diabetes effectively, we have to understand how our body protects itself. We can treat diabetes without sugar. We are relying on people who are dependent on the diabetic manufacturing industry to tell us not to eat sugar. It’s counter-productive. How do you tell people that statins are unnecessary? No one can get their hands on an inexpensive CGM. You cannot manage a type 2 diabetic without a CGM. Yet, because of the FDA, these things are so expensive that people cannot afford them. CGMs safe lives. [23:40] The Best Feedback Instrument to Lose Weight The best instrument to lose weight is a CGM. The worst device to lose weight is a scale. You can eat a tub of ice cream, and the scale will go down. You can do a 24 hour fast, and the scale will go up. As soon as you put the first spoon of ice cream in your mouth, your CGM will be alarming. [26:30] Our Bodies Have Feedback Controls for Survival For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If something is not necessary for human survival, then it doesn’t have a feedback system. The systems are very complex at the interface level. The human body will use one molecule to create a whole variety of downstream effects. It is ridiculous to tell people to drink water. Your body knows when it needs water - it will rarely allow yourself to get thirsty. There is no need for a mathematical formula to tell us when to drink. Alcohol is not necessary for survival. There is no stopping point for our bodies. That is why we have a mathematical formula for when to stop drinking. The human body has no need to know when you should stop eating. There is no feedback control for the consumption of carbohydrates. People are not fat loading their food, they are fat overloading. It’s not okay to eat a lump of butter with steak attached. Overeating fat will make you feel like crap afterward. Part of keto is allowing your body to tell you when it has had enough. [40:30] Keto is a Metabolic State There is so much bullshit in nutrition science. The best place to go to is understanding the complexity of human biology. Human beings changed to become better with our brains. To develop brain function, we needed a more significant source of animal fat. We hunted and primarily lived on coastlines with easy access to water and seafood. Our brains need animal fat. Human beings evolved to become omnivores. Our primary focus is on the carnivore diet when we don’t have access to animal fat. If you have to supplement your food with pills, then you are not on a complete diet. [48:30] Dopamine Fasting and Serotonin Loading Carbohydrates are a drug and not food. When you get rid of carbohydrates, they will leave deficits. People don’t understand that the main reason they overuse carbohydrates is because they have a dysfunctional relationship with a substance that gives them instant gratification. If you have a rough day and eat a tub of ice cream; then you’ve had instant gratification. Going on a walk requires effort. However, it allows you to process tough issues that drive emotions. A healthy person can focus for 20 minutes, then they give themselves a serotonin break like a sip of coffee or a deep breath. We have lost track of effective serotonin relief. Go for a walk, do something charitable, do something creative. AND MUCH MORE!

#1228 This One Plate Meal Can Restore Arterial Function, Reduce Inflammation, and Prevent Heart Attacks Faster Than Drugs, According to Human Studies With Ben Azadi

#1228 This One Plate Meal Can Restore Arterial Function, Reduce Inflammation, and Prevent Heart Attacks Faster Than Drugs, According to Human Studies With Ben Azadi

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi explains why heart disease is not caused by cholesterol, but by silent inflammation and damage to the arterial lining. Ben breaks down how plaque actually forms, why standard cholesterol labs often miss real cardiovascular risk, and how insulin spikes, oxidized LDL, chronic stress, and gut-derived toxins quietly damage blood vessels over time. He introduces a science-backed “artery repair plate” designed to restore endothelial function and calm inflammation using four key foods: Arugula or beets to boost nitric oxide and improve blood flow Wild-caught salmon to reduce inflammation and stabilize plaque Fermented vegetables to lower endotoxins and support gut-artery signaling Extra virgin olive oil to prevent LDL oxidation and improve arterial flexibility The episode also covers which lab markers actually matter, common foods and habits that damage arteries, and a simple three-day arterial reset protocol to support long-term heart health. Ben emphasizes that the body is not broken. When the right signals are present and inflammation is removed, healing becomes natural. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3NKRS84  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1227 Calories Aren’t the Problem - The Shocking Energy Blocks Slowing Your Metabolism with Dr. Christopher Motley

#1227 Calories Aren’t the Problem - The Shocking Energy Blocks Slowing Your Metabolism with Dr. Christopher Motley

What if the real reason your metabolism is struggling has nothing to do with food, but with hidden energy blockages, unresolved infections, and the frequency of your environment? In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Christopher Motley to explore how Traditional Chinese Medicine and frequency medicine work together to uncover root causes of metabolic dysfunction. Dr. Motley explains how the body functions as an electrical grid made up of meridians, fascia, and biofields, and how disruptions in that system can affect organs, hormones, detox pathways, and energy production. Using Ben’s own real-life experience with mold exposure, back pain, and drop foot, this conversation walks through how spinal patterns can reveal stressed organs, how infections like mold, yeast, and parasites may linger beneath the surface, and why gut health, kidney function, and adrenal fatigue are often deeply connected to metabolism. They also explore the emotional and environmental side of healing, including how unresolved stress, fear, control patterns, and even the people around you can influence your biofield, hormone output, and long-term health. If you want a deeper understanding of metabolism that goes far beyond calories and macros, this episode opens an entirely different lens. Key Topics Covered How Traditional Chinese Medicine views the body as an electrical grid of meridians and energy pathways What the biofield is and how frequency medicine is used as an investigative tool How spinal misalignments may point to stressed organs and metabolic dysfunction Identifying hidden infections including mold, yeast, candida, parasites, and bacteria Ben’s experience with mold exposure, back pain, drop foot, and gut symptoms The connection between kidneys, adrenals, colon health, and energy levels Why emotions like fear, frustration, control, and unresolved tears are discussed in metabolic healing How environment and proximity to others can influence your energy and physiology The role of thoughts, beliefs, and mindset in shaping hormonal and nervous system responses Why healing often requires addressing structure, chemistry, emotions, and energy together Links & Resources Dr. Christopher Motley: https://www.doctormotley.com/Ancient Health Podcast: https://www.doctormotley.com/podcast Follow Ben Azadi 🌐 Website: https://www.benazadi.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benazadi▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ketokamp 🔎 Find All Metabolic Freedom Sponsorship Dealshttps://www.ketokamp.com/sponsorship-deals

#1226 Give Me 15 Minutes a Day and I’ll Save You 15+ Years of Alzheimer’s -The Metabolic Truth About Brain Decline and How to Reverse It With Ben Azadi

Alzheimer’s doesn’t begin with memory loss. It begins years earlier with metabolic dysfunction. In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why Alzheimer’s is now being referred to as “Type 3 Diabetes” and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and chronic stress silently damage the brain long before symptoms appear. You’ll learn why genetics are not your destiny, how the brain becomes starved for fuel despite high blood sugar, and why waiting for symptoms is already too late. Ben breaks down the science behind hippocampal shrinkage, reduced glucose uptake in the brain, and the role of cortisol in cognitive decline. This episode introduces the 15-Minute Brain Reboot, a simple daily protocol designed to protect and rebuild brain health: Daily fasting to switch the brain’s fuel from sugar to ketones Zone 2 movement to increase blood flow and grow new brain cells Gratitude (“Vitamin G”) to lower stress hormones and protect neurons Ben also answers common questions about genetics, brain games, fasting safety, supplements, and why prevention isn’t emphasized in conventional medicine. The takeaway is clear: you’re not broken, you’re early. With consistent daily habits, your brain can heal, adapt, and stay sharp for decades to come. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3NEu8Cv  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1225 The Japanese Method That Melts Visceral Belly Fat, Lowers Inflammation, and Reprograms Your Metabolism Without Starvation or Cardio With Ben Azadi

#1225 The Japanese Method That Melts Visceral Belly Fat, Lowers Inflammation, and Reprograms Your Metabolism Without Starvation or Cardio With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals why stubborn belly fat is not a calorie issue or a willpower problem but a visceral fat problem driven by inflammation, stress hormones, and faulty metabolic signals. Ben explains the critical difference between subcutaneous fat and visceral fat and why traditional approaches like excessive cardio, crunches, caloric restriction, and chronic OMAD fail to eliminate deep belly fat. Drawing on over 200 years of Japanese metabolic wisdom, he shares a simple yet powerful three-pillar approach to melting visceral fat naturally: Deeply colored foods that activate fat-burning genes Green tea catechins that increase fat oxidation and block fat absorption Moderate-intensity movement using the 75% talk-test rule You’ll also learn: How to identify visceral fat with a simple self-test Why bottled green tea sabotages fat loss Why fat loss is about signals, not discipline How “thin on the outside, fat on the inside” (TOFI) applies to many people How fast visceral fat can drop once the right signals are restored This episode delivers a clear, actionable plan to reduce inflammation, protect metabolism, and restore your body’s natural fat-burning ability without starvation or punishment. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lp0oZQ  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1224 Why Eating Raw Honey Before Bed Can Lower Cortisol, Improve Deep Sleep, and Burn Fat While You Sleep With Ben Azadi

#1224 Why Eating Raw Honey Before Bed Can Lower Cortisol, Improve Deep Sleep, and Burn Fat While You Sleep With Ben Azadi

In this episode, Ben Azadi shares a surprising 30-day experiment where he ate a small amount of raw honey before bed and tracked its effects on sleep, stress, cravings, energy, and fat loss. Ben explains how chronic low-carb dieting, fasting, or undereating carbohydrates at night can elevate cortisol, disrupt sleep, and stall fat loss, especially for people over 40. He breaks down why raw honey is metabolically different from sugar, highlighting its enzymes, polyphenols, antioxidants, and lower insulin response shown in human studies. You’ll learn how low nighttime liver glycogen can trigger cortisol spikes and middle-of-the-night wake-ups, and how a teaspoon to tablespoon of raw honey before bed may support liver glycogen, reduce stress hormones, improve REM and deep sleep, and stabilize mood and energy. Ben shares his exact protocol, week-by-week results, who should avoid or modify this approach, how to choose high-quality raw honey, and whether this strategy affects ketosis. He also answers common questions about insulin, inflammation, fructose, melatonin, and long-term use. This episode reframes honey not as a sugar problem, but as a strategic metabolic tool to improve sleep, reduce stress, and support overall metabolic health. 🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lp0oZQ  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1223 Scientists Tested Every Fasting Window And One Melted Fat Faster Than Anything Else (It’s Not 16:8) With Ben Azadi

On this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals why intermittent fasting often stops working and which fasting window actually produces the most fat loss according to human research. Ben breaks down studies comparing 12-hour, 16-hour, 24-hour, and 36-hour fasts, explaining how daily fasting can increase cortisol, stall metabolism, and block stubborn belly fat loss. He shares why fat loss requires strategic cycling, not constant deprivation, and how over-fasting can backfire by slowing thyroid function and reducing lean muscle. You’ll learn why the 36-hour fast delivers the most powerful fat-burning and metabolic benefits when used correctly, plus how to pair fasting with proper refeeds, protein intake, and recovery to avoid plateaus. Ben also explains the critical role of minerals during fasting and how mineral depletion is often mistaken for hunger or weakness. This episode delivers a clear fasting framework based on your stress level, age, and metabolic health, helping you fast smarter, burn fat more efficiently, and restore metabolic flexibility without wrecking your hormones.

#1222 I Can Spot Insulin Resistance From Across the Room - The 5 Silent Signs Your Blood Work Isn’t Showing and How to Reverse It Naturally With Ben Azadi

#1222 I Can Spot Insulin Resistance From Across the Room - The 5 Silent Signs Your Blood Work Isn’t Showing and How to Reverse It Naturally With Ben Azadi

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi reveals how insulin resistance can exist long before it appears on standard blood work and how the body shows clear warning signs that most people overlook. Ben explains that insulin resistance is not caused by laziness or lack of discipline. It is a biological response to years of metabolic stress, often hiding in plain sight even in people who eat clean, exercise, and appear healthy. You’ll learn the five silent physical signs of insulin resistance, including dark skin patches, skin tags, stubborn belly fat, water retention, and cold or numb extremities. These visible signals often show up years before glucose or A1c levels become abnormal. The episode breaks down what insulin really does in the body, why chronically elevated insulin blocks fat burning, increases inflammation, and damages blood vessels, and why doctors frequently miss insulin resistance by relying only on glucose-based labs. Ben shares real client examples and walks through two simple, science-backed steps to start reversing insulin resistance immediately: eating protein and fat before carbohydrates and using apple cider vinegar correctly to blunt glucose and insulin spikes. This episode also explains why fasting insulin is the most important lab marker to request, how skinny individuals can still have dangerous visceral fat, and why insulin resistance is reversible when the right signals are restored. If you are dealing with stubborn belly fat, fatigue, inflammation, or unexplained health issues, this episode provides clarity, empowerment, and practical tools to take control of your metabolic health naturally. 👉Paleo ValleyApple Cider Vinegar Complex 15% off coupon code already applied at checkout https://www.paleovalley.com/offers/apple-cider-vinegar-complex-promo/pvpartners?oid=27&affid=68&creative_id=12  🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE -https://bit.ly/3LE2DIA   📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.

#1221 7 Herbs That Shut Down Cortisol at Night, Melt Stubborn Belly Fat, and Help You Fall Asleep Faster Than Ever With Ben Azadi

#1221 7 Herbs That Shut Down Cortisol at Night, Melt Stubborn Belly Fat, and Help You Fall Asleep Faster Than Ever With Ben Azadi

If you are struggling with stubborn belly fat, poor sleep, anxiety, or nighttime restlessness, the issue may not be calories, carbs, or willpower. The real culprit is often elevated cortisol, especially at night when it should be low. In this episode, Ben explains how chronically high cortisol blocks fat loss, disrupts sleep, increases inflammation, and accelerates aging. He breaks down how cortisol is meant to follow a natural daily rhythm and why modern stress, screen time, caffeine timing, and under-eating can keep it elevated at night. You’ll learn about seven powerful herbs that help lower cortisol naturally, calm the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support fat loss indirectly by restoring hormonal balance. Ben explains how each herb works, when to take it, and common mistakes people make when using supplements. The episode also covers what does not work for cortisol and sleep, how to safely stack herbs, how long to use them, and who should be cautious. Ben answers common listener questions about cortisol testing, fasting, melatonin, medication interactions, and long-term use. This episode is a practical, science-backed guide to helping your body exit survival mode so it can heal, burn fat, and sleep deeply again. 👉 Four Sigmatic Calm Organic Elixir Mix - https://bit.ly/4qXdLiN  🔥CLICK For Your Complete 14 Day Fat Loss Plan (Reignite Your Body & Life) HERE - https://bit.ly/3Lp0oZQ  📚 🎁  Purchase Ben's new book Metabolic Freedom today to receive immediate access to a FREE course on metabolism with exclusive interviews from Dr Daniel Pompa, Dr Jason Fung, Megan Ramos, Cynthia Thurlow & more.
