Nathan is 47 years old, married, and a father of 3. A decent high school athlete, he was always a hard gainer. He was a lightly recruited basketball player in TX but started gaining muscle weight when he went to college. He dropped out after some financial issues during his senior year and joined the Army in 1999. After learning Arabic, he got to Ft. Bragg just before 9/11 and spent the next 8 years going back and forth to Afghanistan and Iraq as a member of Delta Force. He left the Army in 2010, finished college, took a couple of MMA fights, and then served 5 years as an operative in the US Intelligence community. He left that in 2015 and has owned a couple of consulting businesses and done government-related Independent Contracting since then. He does some health and wellness coaching on the side. He has always worked out, stayed fit, and he was a stand-out "military athlete." He ate whatever he wanted, and stayed "fit" but dealt with injuries and "aging" related issues. Adult acne, radial neuropathy, premature balding, skin tags, signs of inflammation (gingivitis, tinnitus, plantar fasciitis, etc.). He found keto in 2016 and was blown away. He went carnivore in 2019 and was even further blown away. He was intensely sick and didn't know it until he had the benefit of hindsight with zero-carb. In August 2022, he developed Gullian-Barre Syndrome. They told him he'd be an inpatient for 6-8 weeks, do inpatient physical therapy for 3-4 months, and then do outpatient physical therapy for however long it took to regain the movement, feeling, strength, and endurance that he'd lost (assuming he ever regained it). He walked out of the hospital 2 weeks after he entered under his own power. He went to his first outpatient PT appointment the next day and the doctor told him not to come back because he couldn't do anything for him. It took a few weeks for some residual numbness to disappear, but he feels back to new. Some people think his diet put him in the hospital, but he knows his diet got him out faster than anyone on his treatment team could fathom.
