Summary
Hi friends! This episode is all about getting lean with a focus on protien and fat, resistance training, cutting fat and building muscle for body building, Robert's opinion on PSMF and much more!
Robert Sikes went from a 115-pound kid in high school to 230 pounds in college and started competing in 2010. A few years ago he began transitioning to a keto bodybuilding approach and found that his body recovered faster after competitions and that the ketogenic diet provided a much more sustainable and healthier way to building lean muscle.
When not training, you can find Robert providing online coaching through his company Keto Savage.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I am so |
| 0:08.0 | excited for today's episode. We have my friend Robert Keto Savage, Sykes, back on the podcast. And I am so |
| 0:15.9 | excited to talk to him. On today's episode, we talk all about optimizing body composition, his exact |
| 0:22.8 | macros for his latest competition prep, which he just started three weeks ago. And we |
| 0:29.2 | talked all about the differences between doing intermittent fasting, extended fasts for autophagyy touch on his opinion on protein spraying modified |
| 0:41.1 | fasting and so many fun topics i really enjoyed this interview with robert and i hope that you |
| 0:48.7 | all will enjoy it as much as i enjoyed getting to record it so i want to tell you about a very important nutrient that many |
| 0:56.6 | of us are deficient in and not even aware of it. And that nutrient is light and specifically red light. |
| 1:03.5 | I am so passionate and obsessed with the incredible amount of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial health. |
| 1:13.4 | Now, our mitochondria, as you probably know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty much |
| 1:18.5 | everything in our bodies at the cellular level. Now, when it comes to energy levels, our immunity, |
| 1:26.3 | our skin health and beauty, and even our metabolic health |
| 1:30.3 | and fitness, so much is connected back to our mitochondria's ability to function optimally. |
| 1:36.6 | Now, we talk on this podcast all the time about different strategies from exercise, intermittent |
| 1:41.8 | fasting, doing resistance training, and getting lots of autophagy, |
| 1:46.1 | and all the science behind mitochondrial biogenesis or the creation of new mitochondria. But one of the |
| 1:51.8 | best ways to actually support our mitochondria is using red light therapy. And we can do that |
| 1:57.0 | in the comfort of our own homes with red light therapy panels. Now red light is a wavelength |
| 2:03.7 | that is in the sun naturally, but so many of us spend over 90% of our time indoors, especially |
| 2:10.8 | in the wintertime. And we really are deficient not only in light, but specifically in the wavelengths of red light |
| 2:19.5 | that really support our mitochondrial health. Now, with red light therapy panels, you can actually |
| 2:24.9 | get concentrated doses of red light that can help support and boost your mitochondria's ability |
