What if your own body turned against you, making you allergic to life itself? Don Dillon's career as a Navy officer was destroyed by a mysterious illness that caused hundreds of seizures, a battle that shows what real mental toughness is. In episode 819 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes talks with Don about his journey from a failed medical system to discovering the ketogenic diet. They discuss how Don used biohacking and a carnivore diet to rebuild his health and stop his seizures for good. This conversation covers how to build discipline when facing impossible odds and how Don developed a new food manufacturing process using soundwave technology to help others.
