Guy, a 57-year-old former chemist, survived a widowmaker heart attack and reversed hair loss by switching to a keto carnivore diet. He remains active and off medications.
Guy’s Keto Carnivore Comeback Story
A Snapshot of Guy’s Life
At 57, Guy is a married father of three and a former microbiologist and chemist turned software engineer. Outside of work, he thrives on playing tennis, beach volleyball, and competing in muddy obstacle races. He’s also an accomplished lead guitarist in 80s hair metal tribute bands, having played over 800 shows.
Surviving a Widowmaker Heart Attack
On his 51st birthday, Guy suffered a widowmaker heart attack—a complete blockage of his left anterior descending artery that lasted over three hours before two stents were placed. Miraculously, he recovered with minimal heart damage, which he attributes to collateral circulation developed from his regular high-intensity CrossFit training.
This life-threatening event sparked his commitment to understanding nutrition: “I just started researching nutrition to make sure that never happened to me again.”
Nutrition Changes and Statin Struggles
Guy was prescribed statins after his heart attack but developed significant muscle aches. Once he stopped the medication, the pain disappeared. Years later, he developed alopecia areata, losing patches of hair.
Determined to find answers, Guy dove deep into nutritional research. With no dietary bias, he was open to any approach that made sense. After extensive reading, he gravitated toward a meat-based lifestyle and committed to the keto carnivore diet. His hair began to regrow, and he felt healthier overall.
Before Keto Carnivore
Guy described his pre-heart attack eating habits as standard, slightly health-conscious: mostly egg whites, lots of oatmeal, low sugar, and a preference for fried homemade tacos cooked in corn oil. Red meat was rare, and he followed a generally low-fat approach while steadily gaining weight.
Life on Keto Carnivore
Now, Guy thrives on the keto carnivore diet. He’s ditched all medications, stays physically active, and credits the diet for his hair regrowth and improved well-being. “Meat is kind of the ultimate elimination diet,” he says. “It’s been a great journey to get the right information, and also, my hair is coming back, which is great!”
