![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, with this book, Brady joins the club of diet gurus selling pseudoscience and woo about the body and nutrition. ( He’s wrong here.) Anti-inflammatory foods, meanwhile, supposedly enhance athletic performance and help speed recovery. “It really doesn’t matter how much exercise you do,” Brady writes, “if you’re not eating the right food and providing your body the right nutrients.”įor Brady, the “right foods” are “alkalizing” and “anti-inflammatory.” Alkaline foods lower his pH level, he writes, which can help with a range of ailments, from boosting low energy to preventing bone fractures. These principles, developed with his controversial friend, “body coach,” and business partner Alex Guerrero, include doing exercises and massages that supposedly increase “muscle pliability” (a concept exercise scientists say is bogus).īut it’s Brady’s diet - and the TB12-branded nutritional bars and dietary supplements prominently featured throughout the book - that he believes truly underpins his success as an athlete. The book details Brady’s 12 principles for “sustained peak performance,” which he says will keep him on the field at least until the ancient-for-football age of 45. He’s also a peddler of baseless health claims, including in his 2017 exercise and diet book, The TB12 Method. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, winner of five Super Bowls, is one of the greatest athletes of all time. ![]()
