Episode 275: Dr. Rob Cywes

Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD
Podcast. Dr. Rob Cywes specializes in Weight Management and
Bariatric Surgery for adults and adolescents in West Palm Beach,
Florida. He has performed over 8,000 surgeries over the course of
18 years. His 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. Then 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.


In this conversation, Drs. Brian and Rob talk about the
importance of exercising critical thinking when sifting through
the massive amount of info and opinions about nutrition and diet
out there, Dr. Cywes’ foundational core concepts for metabolic
health, how bariatric surgery fits into holistic health and how
to view it in the context of long-term health, how to escape the
vicious cycle of addiction to sugar and refined carbs through
empowerment rather than deprivation, changing behavior and not
just diet, the value fo knowing your ‘why’ for losing weight or
improving health, learning to connect with and examine yourself
when you feel the need to find gratification and relief in
something unhealthy, dopamine fasting, and the benefits of using
a CGM.
