The Keto Savage Podcast

This week's episode is a mix of nostalgia, laughs, and some exciting updates. Greg and I kicked things off reminiscing about childhood memories—Saturday morning cartoons, Halloween costumes, Christmas gifts, and even old-school Nintendo. It's funny how those little moments, like blowing into a game cartridge or trying to outsmart your parents with Christmas presents, stick with you forever.We also got into some bigger picture topics—parenting, traditions like Santa Claus, and even a lighthearted dive into conspiracy theories. At the end of the day, we both agreed: focus your energy where it actually moves the needle in life.On the business side, we've got big things happening. For the first time ever, both Primal Fudge and Carnivore Cake Pop are dropping together, which has been highly requested. We also shared some behind-the-scenes updates on the upcoming Natural State Savage bodybuilding show—killer swag bags, full-size Keto Bricks, barbecue smoked by my dad, and a ton of support from amazing brands and community members.And of course, I talked about gearing up for this weekend's 50 Mile March for Veterans. This is my fifth year participating, and it's powerful every time. We've already raised over half a million dollars this year, with funds going directly toward building housing and resources for displaced vets.It's always fun to ramble a bit, share stories, and then bring it back to what really matters: family, community, and building something worthwhile.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/

This week, Greg's back from We Fest—the massive country music festival up in Minnesota—and we talk about how his approach to the event has evolved over the years. Back in the day, it was all about camping, drinking, chain smoking, and eating whatever junk food was within reach. The whole weekend was a blur of hangovers, naps, and missed memories.Now? Totally different story. Greg ditched the tent for a hotel room, skipped the booze, meal-prepped like a pro, and even hauled frozen taco beef across state lines just to stay on track. We break down how he managed to keep training, eat clean, and still enjoy the music and the crowd—proving that you don't have to wreck your goals to have a good time.We also hit on a bigger life lesson: you'll never “feel” ready to make a change—you have to decide to be ready. Whether it's committing to better health, sticking to prep, or just making smarter choices at events, it's about owning that decision and following through, no matter what's going on around you.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

In this episode, we dive into the nitty-gritty of how we're training, eating, and staying locked in mentally. I've been experimenting with alternate-day fasting while still in a building phase — packing in 5,000 to 6,000 calories on my eating days, then fasting the next. It's been working well. I feel tighter, leaner, and surprisingly strong even when training fasted. We talk through how that's playing out, how I structure it, and why it's more sustainable for me than being in a constant deficit.Greg's working through a bit of a shoulder impingement, so we're adjusting our training to focus more on controlled tempo, full range of motion, and time under tension. We're still doing full-body workouts for now, but after his prep wraps up, we're probably shifting back to that eight-day push/pull/legs split we loved before.But this episode goes way deeper than just macros and gym talk. We get real about why we choose to stay natural, why we focus on quality food, and how that compares to the direction a lot of the fitness world is heading. We use traditional bow hunting as a metaphor for what we do — it's not flashy, but it's real, raw, and rooted in craft.We also open up about some heavier stuff: addiction, hormone manipulation, integrity, and even what it's like to sit with someone in their final moments. It's a reminder that life is short, but the work — the real work — is worth it. If we want peace, if we want fulfillment, we've got to earn it.We wrap things up with some exciting updates: the Brick by Brick launch is live (get in before the Sunday deadline!), and the Natural State Savages show is right around the corner. We're going all-in — custom swag bags, serious trophies, good food, and a stacked lineup of competitors and spectators. If you're not competing, show up anyway — the energy's going to be unreal.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

In this episode, Greg and I dive into one of the most overlooked aspects of a successful health journey: resolve. We talk openly about body image and how even as seasoned lifters, it's easy to fixate on imperfections—especially when life throws curveballs like newborns, long days, or stress from running businesses.We reflect on how lifestyle choices become more impactful as we age, why optimizing things like sleep, air quality, and clean water really matter, and how "dad bod" isn't a fate—it's a choice. From macro tracking and body dysmorphia to embracing each phase of training, we peel back the curtain on how we stay focused when life gets chaotic.You'll also hear about our latest gear upgrades (Air Doctor and AquaTru), upcoming all-natural apparel drops, and the biggest Keto Brick flavor launch we've ever done.

From teens showing serious potential to a friendly but fierce pump-off competition, it was inspiring across the board. Greg's prep is hitting the final stretch, and this event lit a fire under both of us. We break down the vibe difference between natural and non-tested shows, and why that camaraderie hits different.We also get into my latest FGF21 experiment—crazy high fat, super low protein, 4,000-calorie days—and how my body's responding (spoiler: energy spillover is real). We talk strategy for Greg's final push under 200 lbs, why sleep is the hardest part of prep, and how parenting toddlers in the middle of the night is basically cardio.Plus: Keto Brick restocks, exciting flavors coming soon, prepping for our own show, and counting down the days till baby #2 arrives!Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQGreg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/

In this episode, Greg and I dive deep into our latest body composition numbers—DEXA scans, ShapeScale heat maps, resting metabolic rate, and all the nerdy metrics we love. Greg's mid-prep and getting leaner by the day, and I'm jumping into a new experiment testing a 4:1 ketogenic ratio to see what happens to my metabolism with super high fat and minimal protein. It's basically the opposite of the “sugar diet” everyone's talking about.We also get real about the mental side of all this. Having a show on the calendar makes it easier to stay focused—but when you're in a building phase with no concrete goal, things get tricky. We talk about that tension, the psychology of food, and what it means to stay dialed in without burning out.On top of that, we get into testosterone levels, stress, and why lifestyle matters more than people want to admit. Spoiler: I've got “low” T according to the labs, but I feel great, recover strong, and still have plenty of drive—because I'm living with purpose.We wrap things up with Keto Brick restock updates (PB Tallow is coming back!), a teaser for a new flavor we might launch soon, and a quick life update as Crystal and I get ready for baby #2.If you're into keto, training hard, or just trying to stay sharp in and out of the gym, this one's worth a listen.Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ
