I too, have a spouse who is not keto, and just barely tolerates it considering I am the main household meal preparer. He thinks wholegrain bread is the healthy bomb, cuts all the fat off his ribeyes, and faithfully knocks down his cholesterol medication every night. Besides the loneliness of doing this keto/low carb thing alone, there is the worry about his health, about how cholesterol meds might be effecting his mental acuity over time (he’s a pilot, so sharpness is important 😳), and his complaining about needing surgery for his knee when I know a month on keto would probably help that. He is a product of the times we grew up in, and his mom was a big low fat, no eggs, no butter, and here is your dry chicken breast proponent. But whatchya gonna do 🤷♀️? So, bottom line, all y’all…..thanks for being MY support group!
I really empathize with your situation. My wife isn't quite to that point yet, but I already recognize the signs that she is going to have health issues soon. Sadly, her entire family has a very cavalier attitude about their health - the whole "you gotta die of something" mentality.
@@SeriousKeto but she has You Steve & I trust one day, it will all click & she will choose health over feeding the flesh!!
Wow, I feel you!! My life partner thinks he should be vegan or at least vegetarian and takes lots of meds for cholesterol and blood pressure. He runs almost daily. Toast for breakfast every day-or cereal. I’ve found my body prefers meat and animal foods. It’s like we have two separate kitchens with no overlap!
Tbh, speaking of Steve’s wife Terri. Whatever she’s doing, she looks great! She’s obviously very physically fit and slim. My family and most of my friends have the same attitude as hers....“you will die of something eventually so let’s just have fun” and boy do we have fun. 😄. Most of my fam live well into their late 80s....so I don’t know If I am 100% on board with a healthy eating style leads to longevity thing in every instance. Explain all the 95 and 100 year old chipper Germans in my area hanging out in the bars and festivals and dancing the Polka right into their coffins. Those people all seem to live until 100. Many of them just lived very simple, humble lives and definitely ate their Kringles on the weekends and didn’t shy away from other pastries, donuts and the sinfully delicious bread baskets at pretty much any restaurant you go to on Wisconsin.
💁🏻♀️ And lots and LOTS of BEER. 🍻
I’m all about the benefits of Keto. I’m a believer and I’ve lost weight on a keto diet. I just think that many people are either prone to certain diseases or they’re not genetically, and length of life is determined pretty much by our Creator and whether or not you make really bad decisions here on earth....I always say you only have so many heartbeats. Why are use them up before you have to? (That was sort of in jest).
Long story short is I guess it’s whatever works for you. I am slimmer on Keto, have more energy and mental acuity. That’s good enough for me.
@@pjbecker6722 I used to be like Terri, always thin & toned too... until my disease process was full blown & down I came like a house of cards :-(
After insulin resistance & autoimmune hits, You may not come back.
Keto has helped with weight loss & bringing my A1C down but I still have very bad health.
A lot of the oldsters don't have the addictive issues we have, they don't sit & over eat junk all the time. They don't just sit & watch tv, they still garden, volunteer, dance & have lives.
As long as insulin resistance hasn't set in, You have freedom to eat or drink more carbs than after it hits.
Dr Sten Ekberg has a couple video that explains why Asian ppl's used to eat rice & stay thin & Mexican ppl would eat corn & stay healthy but that is not the case now.
Each of us has to own our own numbers (food choices etc) & health consequences of those choices.
But I sure wish I had had some indications that my health was indeed leaving me, for what now looks like may be the rest of my life, back when I often ate Haagen-Daz & Oreos along with a cigarette & Pepsi :-(
It is not a joke or erroneous fact that diabesity is a pandemic.
I came to keto from a brain injury. I was bedridden and asleep for over a year and house bound, primarily in bed for a second year. I came to keto in desperation. It got me on my feet again, frail and wasted away and very damaged. But you should see me now! I’m a miracle. Thank You God for keto! Great podcast. Love you all, heal the world.
Thank you for sharing.
that is an incredible testimony!! I would love to know more about Your story!! Maybe Steve or Joe & Rachel would have You on so we can know more.
That is a topic or results area that I have not heard about!
Fantastic! Amazing! SOOO happy for You to have found the wisdom to try sich a different thing & get Life!! WOW!!
@@PinkLady54 Thank you for asking! I had once, years previously, put a seriously epileptic dog on a strict ketogenic protocol based on the suggestion of a veterinarian. The dog improved a great deal. He went from several grand mal seizures a day to several petit mal seizures a month. We were able to cut his medications which improved his life, and ours, dramatically. Actually, the diet SAVED the dog’s life and he died of old age. So I knew that a ketogenic diet did SOMETHING for the brain. After two years of being housebound and bedridden, I started to read publications and found that there was Ketogenic research ongoing with brain injured military personnel and there seemed to be some success if the treatment was begun early. From there, I went on CZcams and found Dr.s Jason Fung, Eric West, Ken Berry and all the other notables. I was very sick and very damaged. For two years I sincerely wished I had not survived. I have some residual effects, lots of cranial nerve damage, some post herpetic neuralgia if I allow myself to become overly tired or stressed. I have a few other issues. But I’m out of bed. I’m out of the house. I can walk. I can read and write. I’m stronger and healthier every day. :) N of 1
@@Mrs.TJTaylor WOW!! Miracles do happen!!
You may only be a study of one ;-) but as You say there are many others who are helped by removing processed junk from their diet & eating more fat!!
Though regardless of the victory SO many of us get, most just don't 'want' it. WHY?!?!
Heart breaking for them but... LOOK at You!! HALLELUJAH!!
Still even with the progress on Your 4 legged fur baby You didn't apply that knowledge to Yourself right away... :-( things that make ya go hmmm.... ?? ;-)
BUT my motto needs be: Better late than never!!
& here You are living life again!! Double HALLELUJAH!!
Wish we had this conversation a yr ago :-( My Son had to put down his 18 mo old $3,000.00 Giant Schnauzer due to on going extreme seizures. :-( Very sad.
Though I can't get him to consider keto though he is insulin dependent diabetic maybe I could have gotten him to do it for Poppy the puppy to save her life... maybe could have backward effect for him too. But we will never know.
Thank You SO much for sharing Your story Beautiful Diane & for caring enough to try for Your health! Sometimes You can reach the stars!! Virtual HUGS
@@PinkLady54 I was not able to function or care for myself, I slept around the clock for over a year. So yeah, Keto didn’t spring to mind. Nothing at all came to mind.
What a great interview! It's hard to believe Rachel had so much social anxiety, & such debilitating depression. She's beautiful inside & out.
Knowing she's overcome these humongous challenges gives me hope that I'll get there eventually, too.
To be honest Steve I've never been a real big fan of keto interviews. However, your last 2 interviews with these fine folks and chipmunk have convinced me to try out and watch their CZcams channel at 2KrazyKetos.
I heard about them from Neisha Berry. Tried their channel on a whim. Now they are a favorite.
@@fronniebealer7808 It may have been the fact that I found one of their ads extremely annoying which is why I have been avoiding them. It appears I was being pretty unfair.
The best interview yet, Steve. What a good collaboration.
Real life experiences are still the best motivation to the rest of us,
Thanks for a great chat! My keto body changes include no more acid reflux, much of my gray hair has reverted to its natural brown, no more pre-diabetes, no more high blood pressure after 20 years on meds, no more gas, no more brain fog, my arthritic thumbs that have no cartilage no longer hurt, my carpel tunnel symptoms are gone, I haven’t had a cold in over 2 years, my nose no longer runs constantly. At 65 I feel like I finally figured it out after a 50 year weight problem. I no longer have a weight problem.
Awesome!
Wow, didn't even seem like 40 minutes. That was an engaging interview.
I love Joe and Rachel. Awesome people! I can’t wait for part 2.
This is so what I needed to start my week!
You three folks are some of the most humble, kind, inspiring creators that I’ve learned so much from on this platform.
Thank you for the investment you’ve all made to help all of us on this journey.
I've heard of 2krazyketos but never subscribed. Will have to head over there. Great interview. What really touched me was the severe depression and anxiety. I admire you for being brave enough to bring that out in the open.. blessings!!!
This was the most awe-inspiring video! Thank you for doing this interview. I’m a subscriber to both channels and I love all of you! What a joy it would be to meet all three of you in person! You guys helped this 73 year old lady get her life back!
Steve! I interact with so many keto folk that their spouse isn't keto and kids aren't keto and they are all alone in the house... I'm so thankful that my wife went keto with me. The kids did too... But they were not happy... One day I'd love to talk with you too! I think that would be a load of fun!
These 2 are great! I too will never go back to the "standard American diet" because I know that was making me sick. I love that Joe and Rachel work on the social side of keto as well. Can't wait for part 2.
Steve, thanks for this interview! I've discovered that I need constant inspiration or I forget the wonderful benefits of keto/carnivore and I get that inspiration from your podcast and your wonderful guests.
Wonderful interview! I went to KetoCon this year. On Friday I didn’t watch any of the speakers because I was busy socializing and chatting with people. And that was worth the money of the ticket. I watch the speakers on Saturday and Sunday and so socialized a lot. But since I was willing to put the money in to go into a conference about keto genic way of eating, I feel more committed to it.
How wonderful! 3 of my favorite people in one video!
Consistency over perfection. Pain is a powerful motivator. Plantar fasciitis was the motivation for me. I had 3 injections in my feet. I'm now able to live day to day without pain. I've been maintaining 63 pound weight loss for 6 months. Love this WOE.
Steve another great interview, I really like Joe and Rachel, pretty nice couple! Thanks waiting for part #2
The only 2 channels I subscribe to! 😃 ❤. Just to clarify.. Paid subscription 😉. Not necessarily for the perks, but those are nice too lol, but because y'all are just genuinely good people and I want to support yall even if it's just a buck or 2.
Wow this episode was exactly what I needed today. I have really been struggling. I had great success with Keto in 2020 and I have been trying to restart every "Monday" for the last 2 months. All the non scale victories you all mentioned...I had those too! Even the cold sores and gas. I want that for myself again. Listening to Rachel talk about her experience has really touched me. I can relate in so many ways. Thanks Steve. BTW my husband is a junk food junkie too. He supports me but he does it while eating his Reeses PB cups or his big bowl of ice cream. I think I could bring him over to our side if I tried hard enough.
I’ve been following Joe and Rachel for a year!! They are an amazing couple, totally inspirational!!! Great interview Steve!❤️❤️❤️
Love and Rachel. Each of you bring something different to the table and it all makes this journey more relatable, colorful, doable and keeps low carb interesting! I have a husband that does do keto with me but it can be very weakening if he goes wayward or the fact that he needs so much variety and i do all the buying and cooking. I feel a lot of pressure in that way but also I feel exhausted sometimes.
Super interview. Once I found Rachel and Joe through Dr. Berry, I have joined their community and have gotten so much support from the other people there. I am hoping someday to travel to some of these conferences and meeting people face to face.
Yay! Great interview, loved your Keto changed my ______ game, Steve!
I adore 2kk and am so privileged that I have ridden roller coasters with them at Universal Studios. They really mean it when they say they want to be your community. Maybe they can convince Steve to come out to a Con or MEAT up to hob-nob with his fans too!
WOW! This interview was so fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I've never heard of them, but for sure....I am going to check them out. They are so down-to-earth....like you. I can hardly wait for Part 2!
Carol, you’ll be glad you found them. Like Steve, they are very uplifting.
We will see you on the other side Channel (2kk)!! You will love them too! Beautiful couple with a heart to help people.
Hello 👋 from Neenah WI. Go pack go!!❤️🧀I love your channel.
I have no words for how awesome it is to hear Joe and Rachel’s personal experiences with Keto saving theirs and their family’s lives…thank you for this interview, Steve.
BEAUTIFUL talk Chief!!!!🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and thank you!!
This was great. I learned new things about Joe and Rachel. I also love how you talked about the other things you gain from Keto other than just weight loss. ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
Their story is so encouraging!
That was great Steve!😀👍 I really enjoyed the chat and look forward to part 2! Thanks for sharing with us and have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🌞💐🎶
What a wonderful interview 😍. I didn’t know about them and now I am going to subscribe to their channel. Thanks for sharing great people with great stories with us.
Looking forward to part 2, thanks for doing this interview with them. It really reminds us of the "why" we all need this way of eating.
You guys are great, watching now on my IF drinking coffee. The only thing I wish the KETO community would address people like me who are not overweight to begin with (LMHR) and what we can to on KETO to maintain, get stronger and how if any it differs from the mass of those who just lose weight. Solid health and energy is my main goal.
There are several people I know in this community who do keto because of health issues including LMHR. Radical Geek is one. She has a You Tube channel and is interesting to listen to. I started out to lose weight, but I have addressed so many health issues along the way that I would have to say this lifestyle has saved my life.
what is LMHR & seems most of the keto vloggers are talking about - maintaining & growing stronger to me... their weight loss is over.
that's what Joe & Rachel were saying with all the biking etc & Steve with his 30 day challenges to see what really helps grow stronger/better in all ways & maintain.
What specifically are You thinking/needing?
@@PinkLady54 LMHR - Lean Mass Hyper Responders. These are people who have more of a high or super high cholesterol when they try keto. Go look for Dave Feldman, he is doing a lot of research on this and has been part of the community that is saying that LDL is not a marker for cholesterol totals. I started keto at 350 lbs. as a weight loss diet. As I have lost over 120 lbs so far, I have also gotten all my markers like A1c, triglycerides, blood pressure, arthritis and such under control. It has turned into a lifestyle because I believe it has saved my life. I am able to get out now and move more and do more things.
@@rikwen96 That is such great news about Your weight loss & improved health!! Congratulations!
I don't think the AMA has any true interest in health.
They appear to only be interested in economic gain at the expense of true health IMO; so taking any of their advice seems counterproductive.
Some of their testing can be beneficial to get markers we want but their advice sucks ;-)
Thank You for replying & helping my ignorance ;-) May You continue to be blessed with more & more health as You listen to Your body.
@@PinkLady54 May you have many blessings also. I argue with my doctor every time I go in for my annual physical. She wants me on statins because of my cholesterol, I tell her no. I understand that is what she has to say since she is following the rules of the health clinic she works for. I am responsible for my health and doing what I think is better for me.
I love Joe and Rachel and have been following them for months. They have created a family community online that has been a life saver for me because I have no one with me in my keto journey. They are a God send for me and no doubt the reason I can stay strong mentally and physically😊❤️
Krazy fun. Cool peeps. I'll have to check them out. 😀
Joe is the cook in the family and has come up with some good recipes. They are fun.
It was great to get to know Joe and Rachel thank you so much for having them
Love, love, love all the content, information and plethora of personal testimony. Anxiously waiting the rest of the story. Wait did he just say Keto cruise?! My wife and I looked at each other with our mouths open, like whaaaaat?
Love Joe & Rachel, this is a great interview.
I love 2 Krazy Ketos. They are just so down to earth and caring people.
You too. Thanks for the interview, looking forward to Thurs.
❤👌👍💜❤💗
Awesome interview and great keto stories from the 2 Krazy Ketos couple.
Steve, you are very good at this format. You let people talk without interruption. Makes for a natural conversation. Thank u!
This was such an excellent interview. I’m not familiar with 2 Krazy Ketos before today but, I’m definitely checking out their channel after today. A lot of the “side” benefits of following keto that you all mentioned, I’ve been experiencing as well. That’s the best thing of all for me. Losing weight was my number one reason for getting on it but, four months in I have less inflammation in my joints, less headaches, and less reliance on allergy medications. I’ve also turned my parents onto keto and my youngest brother and his wife are also keto as well. The good news is we all live near each other so we’ve been a support system for each other. Without that, we all wouldn’t have been as successful as we have been.
Always appreciate your videos, Steve. Thank you!
Joe and Rachel do great reviews of products too. They’re the real deal.
Love the 2 krazyketos so much! They are truly REAL, relatable, down to earth people with huge hearts on a mission to help people go and stay on a keto way of eating. Love them 💕
Loved the interview!! I'm looking forward to part 2.
I found these two through you Steve, Thanks.
I can't believe you answered my comment about the runny mayo! Thanks again!
The BEST video about the wide-ranging positive effects of Keto I've seen! TY Steve, Joe & Rachel!
BTW, I started as half a Keto Couple but when my husband was diagnosed with cancer we became a 2 keto couple. We both agree it helped him reach remission in relatively good shape given the amount of chemo he's had. He relies on me as 'keto guide' & hasn't any interest in knowing more. That said he does have a new interest in cooking particularly grilling & is astonished at how he's never hungry. Meal prep & going out to eat together has been simplified. He's still afraid of saturated fat though. He did immediately drop 30 pounds & we're both thrilled at his reaching remission. NONE of our friends are keto, moving instead towards vegetarianism/veganism. Potlucks or eating out with them can prove problematic. I think they would greatly benefit healthwise from Keto, but all think I'm crazy so I just don't bring it up.
Love those two. They help to restore my faith in human kind. Thanks. 😃
What an amazing interview! I do love my 2KK fam! And yes, without them, I wouldn’t have found my cousin, my family, and my besties! THANK you for sharing this!
Delighted to see this because you, Steve, and Joe & Rachel, are my very favorite You Tubers. I’m so interested it may keep me from working this morning.
Love Joe and Rachel! 2KrazyKetos was one of the first keto channels I followed when I started my keto journey back in 2019.
Way to go Steve! Gotta wait til Thursday to finish...waaaaa
Great information, Steve. There are still so many folks out there that do not know what the Keto diet is or how it works. I have stopped trying to explain it to them and just say I am on a low carb. diet. Keep the great information coming, it's awesome!
I loved the interview! A lot of the issues I can relate to. I've been keto for about 2 years and I've experienced some of the benefits but others have evaded me. I've often thought maybe I need to do an elimination of certain things that might be holding me back like dairy. I follow Joe and Rachel too but don't watch them as much as I watch you. Maybe I should to see if they have any tips on maximizing my keto journey. Can't wait to see part 2!❤
Loved this!
Can't wait for the next half.
My major improvements since going keto has been over 80lbs of weight loss, reduced hA1c (almost normal with out medication), reduced blood pressure meds, no longer taking medicine for acid reflux, testosterone levels went up, triglycerides cut in half, HDL up a few points, carpal tunnel syndrome is in remission, and definitely less gas. I started this journey in October. I understand about the wife being a junk food queen. She is a registered dietician and yesterday she realized that she normally only eats 20g of protein a day. Probably 90% of her calories come from carbs.
Great collaboration with Rachel & Joe. I follow both channels and continue to learn so much. I have been on keto for about 10 years and really enjoy learning more and more. Keep it up!
What a great couple. Looking forward to part 2.
I love Rachel and Joe! I watch them a lot also. I watch them just as much as I watch you!
Hi Steve great interview I just love Joe and Rachel they and you have been very inspirational during my keto journey Robyn B☺️
I found you awhile back from Joe and Rachel. Love this interview.
Great interviews, Steve. Would be interesting to see Mel from Cooking with Mel. She has so many Keto experiments on her channel. Sourdough started with almond floor! Pasta with gelatin, and etc. thank you, Steve for everything you do. I’ve learnt so much from you
Okay... You got me, Steve! You mentioned 2CrazyKetos for months now. I kept thinking, "I don't need or have space to follow one more keto channel. They're probably just more of the same anyway!"
Well, if this interview is anything to go by, I was WRONG!!! Totally wrong😆
They seem delightful!! I definitely have room / need to follow them. I'm so glad you interviewed / introduced them. It's interesting to hear that Keto has conferences. Apparently, KetoCon is in Austin, so next year, I'll have to drive 3 hrs to check it out.
Great job & content as always!
Thank you for another great interview, Joe and Rachel are two of my favourites.
Three of my very favorite Keto peeps! Great interview as always.
Hey Steve, thanks! Great video, really informative and TOTALLY encouraging. ~ Paula
Great interview! Can’t wait for Thursday!
Excellent interview! You’re a generous interviewer Steve! Keep it up. 😊❤️
Wow! Love this combo!! More Steve Rachel and Joe!
Y'all were great together! Looking forward to the next.
What a great interview, Steve! Love those 2 Krazy Ketos so much! Looking forward to part two!
Excellent interview, looking forward to part 2.
I'm adding a memory boost and mental clarity along with the rest of the benefits, besides eliminating my need for metformin and blood pressure medication, I find my memory improved so much it was such a relief because working with a few Alzheimer patients over the years my inability to recall what I had for breakfast scared the heck out of me, i 'd start a sentence and drop the thought and couldn't remember what I was talking about. That is totally gone!
Nice chat. We are a Keto couple as well, like everything it has pros and cons. I remember the snack wells back in the 90s 😁. Thanks for posting.
My 2 favorite Keto related CZcams channels all together. Nice discussion.
Awesome interview! 2 of my favorite creators at once. Can't wait for the sequel.💖
Fantastic interview!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE..... Both of my favorite Keto content makers. Thank you.
Thanks Steve this was a great interview Looking forward to party 2
That was fantastic! Their energy and excitement is so contagious!
Great interview. I had heard of them but not watched them I will now. Looking forward to part 2.
Steve, great interview. I enjoy watching you and Joe and Rachel. Thank you. Keeping doing what you are doing.
The best interview! I think an ongoing collaboration between the 3 of you would be awesome! 😊👍💜
Great interview! Looking forward to the next one!
Fun interview! Love Joe & Rachel
great job gys and gal..i loved the idea of community support...encouragement...keeping keto alive...i listened tg
this morning while getting ready to start my day....so helpful in starting he day on the right foot and state of mind....one perk i discovered and love is the new found sense of mental Clarity..it is exquisit....
Great conversation. Can’t wait for 2nd part!
Great interview 🙂 looking forward to part 2. 💕
In 2013 I broke my left patella (kneecap). I was told I needed knee replacements for my degenerative osteoarthritis. The research into joint replacements scared me &*%$less. I didn’t have the time or the money to do it and decided after this consult to do whatever I could to avoid surgery. After my break healed, my “therapy” was driving my Shelby GT full time instead of just for pleasure. A really stiff clutch provided just the right “therapy” to strengthen my joint. After that, I kept looking for ways to get healthier without drugs and surgeries. Keto has also now healed my 15 year bout with daily IBS-D symptoms. I will never go back to S.A.D.
Wonderful interview.
Also have to say I can't calculate how many times that I have heard in my entire life, pre keto, you need to eat breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day. I don't eat breakfast, can't say never but awful close to it. I imagine if I had my weight would have surpassed the close to 300 pounds I once was. Now, at 157, first time in my life I am happy with myself just as I am. THAT is the most powerful result of eating healthy, even beyond reversing diabetes and high blood pressure.
Such an enjoyable interview. I look forward to Part 2
Such a great interview Steve! I love Joe and Rachel! Thank you :) !
Both you and them are awesome! Always encouraging, always inspiring. Can't wait for part 2!
This interview was amazing! I love that they have each other for support. I hope your wife joins you on your journey with keto as well. Look forward to part II!
Gr8 collab👍! ♡♡♡ 2krazyketos💜. Thx 4 sharing💯
Great great interview! I really look forward to the next interview with 2 krazy ketos 😀
