There’s something powerful about watching someone take total ownership of their body, their food, and their mind, and turn it into a mission.


Robert Sikes, also known as Keto Savage, joins me to share what it takes to build muscle, win on stage, and stay in ketosis for over a decade straight, without compromise.


Robert’s story isn’t about six-pack abs. It’s about transformation, resilience, and a wild journey that started with lifting tractor parts in rural Arkansas. He went from bingeing on syrup-covered brownies to becoming a disciplined natural bodybuilder and entrepreneur. He doesn’t just talk macros—he lives them.


In this episode, we get into why Robert left the railroad job, how he built his brand from scratch while buried in debt, what most people get wrong about keto and carbs, and how he’s helping others break free from toxic dieting patterns through self-experimentation and consistency.



“Bodybuilding is a great example of just discipline. Dedicated work, day after day after day.” ~ Robert Sikes
