Summary
Used diet modifications, supplements and pacing strategies for a chronic health condition that had stopped him playing professional sport. Illness duration is not given in the excerpt. Says in his own words that as long as he looks after himself he is pretty much back to normal these days, which for him means playing high-intensity, full-contact professional football, adding that he has been patient and worked very hard.
