While Tom Brady's football playing days are officially over, his commitment to a healthy lifestyle remains unwavering. Following his February announcement of retirement "for good," after a remarkable career spanning three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and two decades with the New England Patriots, Brady continues to adhere to the strict diet that has been a cornerstone of his success.

This regimen, known as the TB12 method, excludes white sugar, white flour, iodized salt, caffeine, nightshade vegetables, and even strawberries. In a recent interview with People magazine, Brady clarified that he doesn't view it as a restrictive diet, but rather a series of healthy choices that support his desired lifestyle. He emphasized his intention to maintain these ingrained habits.

Beyond his dietary discipline, Brady's retirement has allowed him to prioritize family time, spending quality moments with his children and fellow retired athletes Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman. He's also actively involved in expanding his Brady Brand activewear line, collaborating with college athletes on NIL deals, and venturing into the world of professional sports ownership with an investment in a pickleball franchise.
