Persistent tendonitis was dragging down his training and performance. The answer was on his own plate the whole time.
The struggle
Persistent tendonitis was dragging down everything that mattered: how he trained, how he performed, and how his body held up across a match.
What they'd tried
He'd been managing the symptom for too long, treating the pain without ever getting to the cause. Revive was brought in to examine his genetics and find out what was really driving it.
What their biology revealed
His inflammatory pathways were overexpressed, and a certain food group was pouring fuel on exactly the wrong fire.
The plan
The fix was targeted, not drastic: his personal chef was briefed to take the offending food group off his plate while the inflammation settled.
The outcome
The tendon pain subsided within two weeks. He went on to make his national team for the World Cup.
“Two weeks. After all that, the answer was on my own plate the whole time.”
