My Appearance on Find Your Keto

📣 Nine years ago, the day after her 40th birthday, Robyn Dobbins changed her diet to avoid a statin. On the anniversary of that decision, she's finally speaking publicly about the hardest three years since. 📋 This episode is a replay of Robyn's conversation on Find Your Keto, hosted by Steven Trunce. It goes far beyond the story most people know — covering her childhood, her bipolar diagnosis, her ongoing fight with Hashimoto's, and the physical and emotional setbacks of the past three years, including her mother's death, her father's hospitalization, and an unexplained wave of joint pain and brain fog tied to perimenopause. 🔑 What You'll Learn - Why Robyn's childhood memories before 7th grade are largely inaccessible, and how rigid family Christmas traditions shaped her adulthood - How she found ketosis completely by accident after a routine doctor visit at 39, and why NSNG became her lifelong foundation - Why she still struggles with Hashimoto's despite years of a clean, low-carb diet — and what that reveals about "cured" claims online - The physical and emotional setbacks of the last three years, from unexplained joint pain to losing her mother and nearly losing her father - Why she believes personal stories carry as much weight as the science in the metabolic health movement 💡 Key Insight "It's my story, and it doesn't change." — Robyn Dobbins 🌐 Original Episode Watch the full original appearance on Find Your Keto: https://youtu.be/XjiM3Slq7gQ 💚 Metabolic Collective Website: https://www.metaboliccollective.org X: https://x.com/metcollective YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@metaboliccollective ⚕️ This podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and is not medical advice; always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own health decisions. ⏳ Chapters 0:00 Intro & Reflection 0:53 Welcome to Find Your Keto 3:05 Podcast Styles & Being Silly 11:07 Lighting, EMFs & Prioritizing How She Feels 15:22 Childhood: Single-Parent Home & Learning to Cook 18:52 Earliest Memories & the Seventh Grade Shift 22:27 Family Mental Health & Christmas Rules 32:09 High School Rejection & Confidence Struggles 36:34 Feeling Like a "Toddler" & Unexpected Recognition 41:03 Discovering Ketosis by Accident 46:41 Information Overload & the Fire Diet Plan 48:41 Hashimoto's & Distrust of "Cures" 56:04 Find Your Keto: Why One Plan Doesn't Fit All 1:02:33 Diet Before Keto: Pop-Tarts, Cereal & Ice Cream 1:05:39 The Diagnosis That Started NSNG 1:07:52 The First Six Months & a Year of Carnivore 1:16:23 Sweeteners, Cravings & Knowing Your Own Rules 1:29:57 Struggles, Setbacks & Recovery 1:39:58 Perimenopause, Her Dad's Hospitalization & Brain Fog 1:49:05 Barbells, Kettlebells & Becoming "Shoulders" 🎧 New episodes drop every Thursday on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major platforms. 🌱 Know someone with a keto success story?
