I agree!!
Rob talks exactly like Lauren! They literally sound and speak exactly the same. Crazy!
They really do 😮
I thought that too as soon as he spoke lol.
I was thinking that too😮
Yes! I thought the same thing!
Haha, I never noticed this before, but now I can't un-hear it!
Every girl wishes she had a Rob. You're the most supportive husband I've ever seen. Ever. Ignore the naysayers. They don't know what they're talking about. They should walk a mile in your shoes. You're amazing, Rob. And your wife is very lucky to have you.
Agreed❤
She's not his first wife...
@@cliffpinchon2832and?
Anyone who has watched you and Lauren knows much you both support each other, Please don't edit your complaints about struggles with the diet. Your honesty is so important. I can SEE a difference in Lauren and am BLOWN away. Never in a million years would I believe a change in diet would help with a serious mental health diagnosis - other than living better gives a boost. Excited to see how this progresses!
yes me too! i see such a difference. helped me get back on keto. and now i have so much more energy!
Yeah, they need to be 100% real about the diet. The positives and the negatives. They are paving the way for other people to do similar things for healing purposes.
It seems like so much work. I wouldn’t even know where to begin on my own but would never have time to but I need something like this!
looks more like codependency to me...
Agreed. Lauren is a pioneer, so is her husband
My Husband is my caregiver. I have bipolar 1, and recognize the struggle he goes through at times. I love and appreciate all that he does for me. I know Lauren appreciates Rob also. Have A Beautiful Sunday Everyone ❤

Fecal Matter REALLY Does Matter! Rob, You are a great supporter for Lauren and just know that this has not been lost on viewers like me. I'm strictly here to learn about things that I do not suffer from or are affected with. Stay Strong and Thank You to you both for keeping The REAL in The REEL. Cheers From COW-lumbus, Ohio MOO 👋
I love Rob’s attitude of “it’s something I’ll have to work through “- this is applicable to so many things especially mental health. Thank you for your transparency and motivation!
You and Lauren are great together and great for each other …. So happy to see such a beautiful relationship ❤
What a kind and thoughtful human being. ❤
One of the reasons I love this channel is how honest and transparent you both are. Thanks for keeping up the good work, sharing and educating us all! 💛
Rob, it’s difficult to be the person who has any kind of mental illness and it’s also rough on the people trying to support them. You and Lauren have a beautiful relationship and you’re both so kind to each other. I love this channel and it’s very needed. 😊
Thrilled for you both! Therapeutic ketogenic diet was not a whisper of an idea in the decades of my husband's schizoaffective disease. You both know what we experienced. Courage and continue sharing this valuable experience.
Seeing you support Lauren reminds me of my late husband. Great job!
Looking after a person/helping out with any type of disability wether it be a mental or physical disability can be tiring, but sooner or later you as the helper/carer will have 1 good day where alot of things go well & that one bright moment is what helps you to look after someone you love with a disability... I hope these words can help you, a little bit 😊😊😊
I think its good to hear your experience too as plenty of us are struggling perhaps more than Lauren in making the transition to keto. You guys are great !
This is a good thing for your whole family to do. Rob, I wish my ex husband would’ve been as aware of his condition and as willing to help himself as Lauren is. I was like you, and willing to do a special diet along with my son, finding out it actually helped me with my own issues. Good for you both for being a fine example of how it’s one for all and one for all in a marriage. Kudos!
You are a wonderful, kind, gentle, loving, supportive husband and best friend to Lauren. Thank you for sharing your beautiful partnership and family with us. I hope this ketogenic program will help manage and regulate the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder. God bless you both and your adorable-absolutely precious-children!
Thank you for making a video on this. I didn't once think you were un supportive.
As someone with ulcerative colitis in the colon and has dealt with constipation quite a bit I can say cheese can block you up. Flax and fiber can help. Coffee is also great for activating a poop. You are doing fantastic so good on you both!!!
This cannot be understated:
If it is true that diet can positively manage a spectrum of mental illnesses, it would be the greatest discovery of its field in GENERATIONS, if not THE greatest discovery in mental medicine.
👍 👍 👍
100%
same for the elderly home where I work. Those people would go above 100 years, and be healthy if it wasnt for the Lasange, macaroni dishes and pancakes they are getting
I feel this way too! I want to yell about it and shake people by the shoulders. If this works for my son, if he’s able to even just cut down on his meds (with his Dr supervision of course) and maybe work part time I’d be happy. If this therapy can help him live a “normal” life? Finish school? Live on his own? Have a nice relationship? My gosh. It can’t be overstated how life altering this would be.
@@lisamatonis4579don't be holding onto NORMAL for some kind of goal you bestow on another person omg , no indication of what is normal has even been established , it's a conspiracy theory ... ppl that have nothing to give and nothing to say belonging to a general conscensus in the minds of anonymous is nothing but belittling a mindless pattern of behaviour to blend into the background.. normal is a very false confusing expectation to be of life's minimum expectations merely to live in quiet doesn't exist in the majority of ppl it's a really lazy excuse to put your head down and refuse to accept other ppl as intricate and far from oneself that are interesting ,or anything beyond mediocre people, how extremely limited No we will not try be normal ,if scared and afraid narrow minded ppl didn't ever use that word there would not be an judgement automatically assumed to be negative not normal 100% NOT.
Dear Rob,
Dear Loren,
Thank you both
❤
*Lauren
Rob and Lauren talk so much alike. And his unwavering support is so awesome 🥺 What a great couple ❤
I have been watching Lauren’s videos for a long time. I am very interested in her well being and the well being of your family. Thank you for being such a tremendous support.❤
It's great how you take care of each other while maintaining self-care, that's so important to have that balance and mutual care and understanding, and I'm so happy to see you so supportive together! Omg I have a terrible sweet tooth too xd wishing you good gut and overall health and tasty keto sweets!
Very cool video. I think the reason why people are so invested into the status of your digestive system (or your alleged reluctance) is simply the nature of para-social relationships. It's a really weird feature (?) of social media engagement that the audience will place you into their perceived social circles and then react to your lightest, most whimsical on-video expressions as some sort of magnified statement of intent or judgement. People aren't used to having friends with one-sided engagement (it's something that celebrities learned to ride the wave of as media became more of a daily thing) and now that we're in a situation where people can turn on the taps of para-social relationships while also isolating more from their real life friends and relationships, it's become something that mixes the positive aspects of community with the negative traits of addiction. It's got positives, it's got negatives, but I truly believe that the nature of the videos that you and Lauren make is bringing out the best of the people you're broadcasting to, and while it can be super weird at times, take heart in knowing that you're unintentionally or incidentally fishing out the optimal expressions that these people would share with those who knew them as well as they feel they know you.
Hi from NB, Canada. I’m so excited about watching you and Lauren’s journey. I hear ya about the knee pain and joint pain as I’m going to be 50 this year!!! 😂 How is that even possible. I’m feeling inspired by the two of you to take better care of myself. I wish you both wellness and happiness.
thanks for sharing Rob, I think this is such an incredible support, to do this alongside Lauren, and I really hope it will give you many benefits as well. Also your contribution in showing another experience on keto is so valuable. we are all so different, and It can be tricky, I am having a rough journey myself, and on the verge of giving up, because I have been on this for a month and not only have I yet to see benefits but I am having mostly negative aspects…still hanging on as much as I can…take care
I totally understand the sentiments about knee pain. I have been there as well asking myself if it's going to be like that until I leave this world.
You certainly didn't give me the impression you were not into this. My takeaway was Keto is a different adjustment for all and you just need to roll with it xo
Yeah, man. I turn 42 in March, and also have good genetics, but now that I'm getting older, I don't want to push my luck. Yup, Lauren's experimental is actually helping you make changes you wanted to make anyway. Thumbs up!
When I saw the laxative tea in the last video, it resonated with me. It feels like nobody is willing to share the common but maybe "tmi" aspects of extreme diets. It was a very human moment that a lot of us connected with.
I appreciate this update! I wasn't worried that you were an unwilling participant, however it is nice to have the additional reassurance, and just to hear more about your experience! Wishing you both the best!
Great update and the two of you are doing a wonderful service sharing your journey publicly - thank you for that!! Regarding pooping: I changed to a strict, under 30grams of carbs a day, keto way of eating 2 years go for Type 2 Diabetic reasons and it has worked for me...never going back to the old ways. In the group I am in supporting this, it seems many people do have a transition period for the bowel movements to adjust to the more nutrient dense foods being consumed...and I had to go through an adjustment period as well. I never felt uncomfortably bloated, like being constipated when eating the old way, with all those carbs and sugar. It was different not being regular for some months and trusting the eating plan and being consistent. I did use all the natural remedies and they all helped. Now my body has adjusted and I do not need to use anything. I have a BM most days...some times a day is skipped...sometimes 2 per day and never uncomfortable or bloated.
All this to say...just keep doing what you are doing and give your body time ;-)
Thanks for making a video, Rob. It’s really good to hear you speak on supporting Lauren and your own health goals. I’m turning 44 this year and feel you on that desire to unlock potential and reach peak performance. Good luck!! P.S. I think anyone who has started psych meds can relate to uncomfortable constipation. Good experiential learning :)
I'm glad things are all right, thank you for addressing this!
So good for both of you!!
It is partly a body adjustment, glad the keto coach knows their stuff, I myself went carnivore a couple months ago and it has helped facets of my own mental clarity/function
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with Keto. You're an extraordinary husband and friend with Lauren. I'm so happy to hear that you're thinking forward. Keep up all the good things you do. But remember, everything in moderation, including moderation.
I'm glad you were able to figure out the issue so quickly, You guys are under skilled care. I'm pretty excited for Lauren, I knew this would work for her. You're a great life partner!
You and Lauren are an amazing couple and the love and respect you have for each other is very beautiful!
Just drinking enough water can have a positive change on how your skin feels. I'm not great at drinking water but I remember one time I got sick many years ago, the only time my throat stopped hurting was when I would drink water so I drank lots of water all day long. It was a bit ironic that my skin looked the best when I was so sick and otherwise felt so poorly.
I don't know much about the whole keto diet thing and it's not something I would follow but I'm here for Lauren's journey.
Thanks for this honesty Rob. I too have been struggling with low energy and was feeling pretty negative about my keto journey. Anyway ordered some electrolytes and have added them to my repertoire. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞🌈. You and Lauren have helped me so so much in accepting and living well with my illnesses xx
Great to hear about what helped! Sounds simple enough so glad it works for you, Rob! I wish I had a supportive partner like you!! I hope keto and metabolic interventions make it not so bad to get older...
Great work supporting Lauren, but I am concerned about the benefit/risk of this kind of diet for Rob over the long term. I hope he is consulting with an MD about this decision.
This was so loving ❤
Really good to know about less joint pain and inflammation
Your relationship is beautiful!
Rob, yes! Stay away from cheese. You hit the nail on the head. Very binding!
You're an incredible partner rob, your support for Lauren is impressive to see. And good about the poops! I'm personally not a fan of extra added fiber as it can cause larger stools. MCT oil is a stool softener and will boost your ketones as well.
Tack!
Hey poops are the ultimate sign of state of health, if anything is off for example. Anyone with dogs (indoor dogs) will tell you that. I am constantly developing home cooked meals for my dogs based on their needs and .... guided by their poop !! Same goes for humans. Good job Rob, your support for your wife is an example to us all. And your expérience and your discourse is INVALUABLE.
Thanks for this video, Rob. :) You know that everyone is interested in you. ;)
I hope you work through the constipation. I have IBS and used to have terrible constipation. Now it is the diarrhea side, but I saw one of those infomercials about constipation and the doctor said that even diarrhea is a form of constipation. Kind of makes sense. I mean, you still are not evacuating your bowels completely.
Blessings!
This is too much stressful. I'm really thankful that I don't need to live on a diet.
Well said
Wouldn’t worry too much about fiber but have heard that magnesium helps. And staying away from dairy.
I had bile acid type horrible diarrhea for first 3 weeks of keto, and the electrolyte imbalance worsened due to loss of fluid in stools, I had high heart rate and palpitations, extra hydration and lots of electrolyte supplements and it finally resolved. I’m now 5 months into keto and seeing many benefits.
Rob, thanks for doing this video as I was feeling worried that you might not be enjoying being on video so much.
Rob- 40 with no wrinkles
Also Rob- "I MIGHT be genetically lucky"
Stop that actually gave me a giggle 😂 men!
From my experience with constipation, the key is to give it time and let your body figure it out. Also, adding more oils to your diet might help. I found eating a light bread dipped in olive oil really helped move things through. Hope this helps!
All good points. The fluid should help the constipation. Us nurses are always interested in poops :D
Good job dude...)
This has luckily only happened to me once and it was before i was involuntarily hospitalized. I had the belief that it had been done to me on purpose which was was backed up (pun intended lol) by the fact that when they weighed me i was at the exact lowest weight i could be for my height to be considered in the healthy weight range so they wouldnt have another reason to keep me there. And since i believe everything is lined up this made perfect sense to me. I would 0/10 recommend. I hope things work out for you whichever direction you go with your dietary choices.
Do you take probiotics? They really help me. If I don't take them I'm miserably constipated. I also add more fiber I won't take laxatives because I don't want to have to depend on them. I suffer from mental illness OCD depression and anxiety and a close Family member who I love has bipolar and I would LOVE to do Keto.
Osmotic laxative may be better. I am not a doctor but as a person with paralysis I use it as part of. Y daily routine. I also have mental health issues issues and am looking into metabolic therapy.😊
Have you tried 1/2 tsp of baking soda in water for a short bit. You might want to look into it. Your body is resetting itself and learning to work in new ways. Be patient with your body. I commend you for sticking by Lauren's side in such a loving act.
Celery juice in the morning on an empty stomach is the magic for bowl movement, telling from experience.
💪🙏‼️👍Keep going
I have heard that Peppermint tea is helpful with constipation. Just another option in case you didn't know. I haven't tried it myself but maybe u might want to try that if it fits in with your diet. Good luck to you both. Personally I want to definitely reduce my sugar and carbs as well but I'm thinking of starting by trying intermittent fasting than maybe keto one day.
You know what else would help? Going back to his old diet that didn't make him constipated.
I avoid caffeine and love peppermint tea but I have IBS and we can only have one cup per day. Maybe that changes on KETO?
U r hilarious and I think r both amazing
The keto diet is the best diet for me. I feel great, and I've lost some weight. I'm learning more about how my body operates. I'm not a diabetic, but I should have been because of my bad diet for years. Intermittent fasting helps me reach autophagy, which helps repair my body's system. I am 64 years old and enjoy my life more than when I was in my unhealthy years of my 30s. I've been trying to lose weight for years. I finally found the diet that works for me.
Go keto
magnesium baby! it does pretty well to get me pooping. my medication AND keto get in the way.
So, Rob is 40 and Lauren is 32??? Rob is robbing the cradle. hahahaha.
Anecdotal, but perhaps helpful:
Fat + water helps regulate things. When I switched to Carnivore it blew my mind that I didn’t need fiber to have regular bowel movements! Also, cutting down or out dairy helps.
I think it’s great you’ve been so supportive and I’ll keep tuning in to see what you both uncover! Very interesting series, thank you!
Most of us are watching for Lauren and her journey and mental illness and possible trauma and how she feels on a medical keto diet. I myself have no desire to start keto myself, nor are most neurotypical people like yourself here watching these videos for keto advice, we're watching for Lauren's journey and how her mental health improves. ❤
Do we all have the same potential to digest any kind of diet? Knowing that some people just can't eat gluten and others milk products it seams obvious that some people don't have the capacity to go keto, to digest so much fat and protein. There must be some dispositions that are unchangeable like the colour of our hair and eyes, that apply also to our digestion. This is not to say that keto cannot work for some, I will be the first one to cheer you to try it. If it doesn't , it's not the end of the world, we just need to search for some other therapy, metabolic or whatever...Let our body be the guide. Happy to see that it works for Lauren.
💜
I found with medication came weight gain do you think diet would help perhaps more exercise
wait for KarXT it will not have the weight gain issues anymore
0:12 as a long-standing Regular Car Reviews subscriber, trust me, it's the sign of a good youtube channel and fanbase
My brother does jiu jitsu and his friend at peak performance said that if he eats sugar his hands will hurt the next day, because sugar inflames his joints! sugar also "eats the brain".
1. Consuming a few tablespoons of Olive Oil daily can be effective in alleviating constipation.
2. Magnesium Glycinate is known to aid in improving sleep quality.
3. A mixture of half a teaspoon of Sea Salt in an 8-ounce glass of water can help in replenishing electrolytes.
4. Taking Vitamin D (40,000 IU daily) in conjunction with K-2 (400 mcg daily) is essential for optimal health benefits, as they work synergistically.

As a suffer of schizophrenia I've been taking oregano oil capsule once a day that contains 125mg of carvacrol that's a anti inflammatory. It helped a lot with headaches (pain). It's about as effective as ibuprofen in my opinion but you can take it long term which isn't the case with ibuprofen. I think it's worth a try.
I'll have to look in to that. I am taking a crud ton of IBU right now.
I read up on this.
Gotta check for contraindications. One is diabetes meds. Also, it has been linked to miscarriages.
My coworker has a severe mental illness and I am concerned about my safety being around this individual. I told my boss my boss is fully aware of the situation .
Employee has anger outburst and other very odd behavior and talk that scare me and other employees.
This employee needs to be in a mental hospital seriously.
I was told just to ignore and walk away 😮
My boss is afraid that I am going to quit
Because I'm doing all the work ... Because he's not capable of doing anything due to his serious mental health condition.The company will not fire him as it was noted .
I don't know how to go about working with this coworker now I know how serious it is.
He sings very loud to songs on the radio, anger outburst, inappropriate behavior , inappropriate talk ect..
Any suggestions to help me avoid this employee are welcome !
If you feel endangered, you can always call the police and they will come and assess the situation.
Hi
"peak performance" is the name of the place where my brother does jui jitsu. that's a good sport! i bet you are lactose intolerant and eating too much dairy on keto, but I could be wrong, sorry for the advice, if it's too much. i take digestive enzymes for that and eat vegan cheese and non dairy milk. just a thought!
More from The Peanut Gallery:
As a cardiac patient, I can’t do Keto. I’m stuck on The Mediterrainean Diet and I’m cool with that. It’s improved my blood numbers.
So, fear not! Robb will figure out what’s best for him. Like, I LOVE cheese, BUT …
💪
Miralax is non habit forming and works more n naturally with the body.
Rob I started a week ago, and my Dr told me to take propolis two times a day, she said I have to make a poop everyday
Hi, rob.
I'm in a very horrible situation couldn't make a comment or something else causes of high pressure on me myself, as before I'm ok to help you. Hey, starting a sport is easy but continueing needs support, I'm not ok to support you in my own situation, likely, how do I say, I'm somehow dying! Whatever, why don't you try other things activities enjoyable like planting together, going on a trip, and listeninf to your favorite musics, once you, once her, or once both you both like that music, then, focus on what she likes, that's too important for wemon. They like to be heared, you now showing a cold shoulder never is an answer! I'm sad, im upset, no! She needs you! Take time to her, go, listen to whatever she wants to say to you, then you can find a solution. I'm happy I could be together rob, and hope you both the bests, I've been mentioned that I may be Shahid, as much as I can support I do on. Don't worry.
I'm controlling all my country and begging for food here, that's funny isn't it? Yes it is, forget about it completely, I don't want to be mentioned publically, think on what can make you two both joy? Not one of you then one? However it is ok to do in any way, but it shows taking care of yourself together. Do you dance? It is funny, isnt it? What's your favorite dance rob? I'm not ok with not dancing. I like it. And dance like in group, it makes you more activated like indians, see their dances, how they are very good In dancing? For example a group named: quick style, I like their all kind of dances. So much energy, even Shakira had a concert and she danced amazing, I recommend participating in their concerts you like if you're able to by the time, I don't know what ever.
Now! What? I'm looking for a way to get out of this hell! I didn't get any answer on how to migrate to your country, I can't understand sometimes because I've gotten alzaymier unfortunately, you know, if you can talk to someone that hey, there is a genius here, see! Get negotiation with him, maybe we can help him! If my money ends for internet I've to beg! Yeah, that's right, that's funny!😄
They don't take care in my country, they say hey, you want to go abroad? Go! It's not my matter you don't find a job!? And what can I do!!!! After all these years, this is a message I'm willing to write before they come and take me to prison or hospitalized me! And I will tell you what a hospital is looklike here. 😄 thank you I hope you do well both. And everyone else everywhere. Bye rob...🥰
Rob is a good one 😎
Sorry we made you feel that way
It's weird, cuz whenever I try keto, I have intense diarrhea...
The thing is, I have an insane amount of fibre in my diet and when I'm trying keto, I get even more fibre... doesn't matter, still get diarrhea... on the other side, I have great bowel movements when I also have carbs...
Curious Rob do you feel the diet has helped your mental health issues as well?
At least you don't have explosive diarrhea for 2 weeks (like I did hahaha). To clarify, I went very animal-based.
Rob please understand that we don’t metabolize fiber in any amount. Please look into Dr. Chaffee
Clickbait 🤥
fake it to u make it
I just feel that while yes it's a postive you feel a decrease in knee pain and inflammation, that a balanced report on the keto diet is better, rather than focussing only on positives, and glossing over negatives. Keto enthusiasts say ' it might not suit everybody' or words to that effect . But it's not a matter of suiting or not suiting everybody. Objectively it IS an extreme diet, and there are known negatives, increases in cardiovasular issues, increases in bad cholesterol, to state just two, so these things need to be raised and looked at equally, not cherry picking the good stuff. Yet we see so much of the starry eyed approach with keto converts.
How sustainable in the long run? Psychologically and physically. Isn't that the real test? I understand Lauren trying this as there have been studies to show the benefits with Schizophrenia. But otherwise, I don't think it's a diet to take on just to support a partner, when you have neither schizophrenia not a need to lose weight. Of course, this is just my point of view, I imagine you are okay with my raising these points and don't just want people agreeing with everything you say. (which I see from some comments below, they don't)
Rob, you give people too much credit. Plenty of people would resent having to do this for their partner
OK so I'm 40 as well and I knew phat as cool not your acronym ...lol
Yeah I learned something too! Rob’s got his finger on the pulse of that era! 😂
