After falling 90 feet down a waterfall and being told by doctors he would never be as strong again, Will Blazer didn't just recover; he became stronger than before. On episode 857 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes talks with professional acrobat Will Blazer about his unbelievable story. Will shares how getting terrible blood work at age 23 led him to try every diet from vegan to keto. He explains how the carnivore diet fixed his health, reduced painful inflammation, and fueled his incredible recovery from a shattered pelvis and other major injuries, allowing him to build muscle and strength without carbohydrates. His journey is a powerful example of how a proper human diet is key for recovery and building a strong body.
