Guy is a 57-year-old man who has been married for 33 years and has three grown children. He worked as a microbiologist and chemist before transitioning to a career as a software engineer. He enjoys playing tennis, beach volleyball, and running obstacle races in the mud. Additionally, he has played lead guitar in various 80s hair metal tribute bands, estimating that he has played over 800 shows in his life. On his birthday, he suffered a widowmaker heart attack. His left anterior descending artery was completely blocked for over three hours before two stents were eventually placed in the artery while he was still experiencing the heart attack. Fortunately, his heart was minimally damaged due to collateral circulation that his body had already developed from frequent high-intensity training sessions. He even became the subject of two local news stories in San Diego for surviving the widowmaker heart attack. A few years after the heart attack, he began to experience alopecia areata, leading to patchy baldness due to an autoimmune issue. It gradually worsened until he nearly had no hair on his body, including his head. To prevent another heart attack and promote hair regrowth, he conducted extensive research on nutrition and discovered the carnivore diet. He adopted this diet, and eventually, much of his hair grew back. He also decided to stop taking all medications, including statins. He is doing well and remains very active. He credits the carnivore diet for his hair regrowth and good health.
