Chandler Treats Vasculitis, Tendinitis, Piriformis Syndrome

Chandler, 57, shares his incredible journey to recovery from chronic pain and inflammation associated with vasculitis, tendinitis, piriformis syndrome, and temporal arteritis. Chandler is 6’1” and has gone from 245 pounds to 178 pounds in just over a year.


Chandler’s Journey To Recovery

“I was in bad shape, really,” Chandler recalls. “None of my doctors were able to help me except to put me on steroids, which only helped temporarily. Due to the temporal arteritis, I had a headache for ten months that wouldn’t go away.”


Vasculitis and temporal arteritis are both conditions in which the blood vessels and arteries become inflamed and blood flow is restricted, resulting in organ and tissue damage. “And the piriformis syndrome showed me nerve pain like I’d never had before, and coupled with tendinitis, I was basically crippled.”


The Benefits Of The Keto-Carnivore Diet

After visiting several doctors who were unable to provide answers or a clear recovery plan, Chandler turned his attention to the low-carb community. He attended Low-Carb Denver in 2019 and was introduced to Dr. Shawn Baker and the keto-carnivore diet.

“I started down that path at 245 pounds, and nine months later, my weight had gone to about 190 pounds, and I was nearly symptom-free,” Chandler shares. “My diet gradually evolved, and since then, I have gone to about 90% keto-carnivore, and my weight has settled at 178 pounds.”


Chandler’s Diet And Meal Plan

Chandler describes what his diet looks like now. “I truly believe keto-carnivore is the ‘medicine’ that fixed me. I began with one meal a day, but now have added lunch back in, usually sardines or salmon.

I keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, and I buy ribeye at Costco, which I can vacuum pack and freeze. I don’t think too much about it, and it’s delicious and sustainable.”

The Positive Effects Of The Keto-Carnivore Diet On Health Markers
Since making the shift to a meat-based diet, so many health markers have improved for Chandler. “My waist-to-height ratio is less than 1/2, my cholesterol is 187, my HDL went from 54 to 92, and my LDL went from 113 to 86.

My triglycerides are at 44, and my CAC score is a zero! I feel fantastic! I’m 57 years old and feel 35 again.” Chandler led an active lifestyle but found he didn’t need to exercise to lose weight, something that surprised him.

“I’m the same weight now as I was at age 19. How about that? I reversed 40 years of weight creep!”


A Complete Life Change With The Keto-Carnivore Diet

Living a pain-free life and experiencing a calmer overall mood has been a game-changer for Chandler. “For me, it’s been a 180-degree life change,” Chandler says. “There’s no ‘falling off the wagon’.

It’s just the way it is for me from now on.” He’s also set a powerful example for his family. Chandler’s 27-year-old son has lost 50 pounds since following the keto-carnivore diet, inspired by his father’s success.


Chandler’s Inspiring Story And Advice For Others

​“If anybody is out there suffering from arthritis or other inflammatory conditions, give Keto-Carnivore a try. For me, it was an alternative to steroids, and I think it’s definitely worth trying.”

Rowan Improved Cardiovascular Health, Treated Arthritis

After struggling with weight loss and finding keto difficult to maintain, this person discovered the carnivore diet through Shawn Baker's Joe Rogan appearance in December 2017. They lost 36 pounds (from 216 to 180), eliminated arthritis in their left hand (which had a surgically reattached finger), normalized blood pressure from prehypertension, and experienced improved mental clarity and stress response.I was struggling trying to lose weight, and found keto so hard to stick to, so easy to fall off. I heard Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan and decided to look into it. I spent about 2 or 3 weeks checking out the info, and asking people on the Zeroing in on Health forum on Facebook numerous questions. After that, I was convinced it was worth trying keto-carnivore for a month. I began on the keto-carnivore diet on December 12th 2017. I've never even had to consider changing back. I was 216 lbs, and I am now 180. I had arthritis in my left hand, which hand had to have a finger surgically reattached to it after it was ripped off in an accident 13 years prior; but the arthritis went away after 2 weeks keto-carnivore. I had prehypertension, but my blood pressure (measured on three separate occasions) is normal. I feel better, I think clearer, and I respond to stress better than at any time in my life. ​I never intend to stop being a keto-carnivore.
