Episode 291: Special Forces Veteran Will Ziener's Amazing Recovery

In this episode of the Plant Free MD podcast, Dr. Anthony Chaffee welcomes Will Ziener—a retired U.S. Air Force Special Operations veteran who faced a rapid decline in health as he grew older. Once at the height of physical fitness, Will found himself struggling with chronic illness, underperforming in the gym, and feeling defeated. That all changed when he discovered the carnivore diet. Will opens up about how switching to an all‑meat diet helped him regain strength, energy, and clarity. He shares lessons learned along the way, including why conventional nutrition advice failed him, and how he's navigated both personal health and performance using zero‑carb principles. Whether you're curious about real-life transformations or questioning mainstream dietary beliefs, Will's story delivers honest insights, practical takeaways, and a powerful reminder: sometimes the answers lie beyond the status quo.
