Former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski, known for his toughness and longevity, is speaking out about his health after experiencing an astonishing 20 documented concussions during his 16-year playing career.
With the long-term risks of repeated head trauma, the 58-year-old says he feels fine—but he's not taking any chances.
A Career Marked by Physical Toll
From 1988 to 2003, Romanowski played for four different NFL teams, establishing himself as one of the league's toughest players. But his aggressive playing style came with a price—numerous concussions that could have jeopardized his cognitive health, TMZ Sports reports.
Fast-forward two decades post-retirement, and Romanowski is still thriving. However, he admits that maintaining his health requires a rigorous daily commitment.
"I got this saying," he told the news outlet. "'Don't let the old man in, because he's knocking every day.' I work at it."
Daily Supplements: Romanowski's Nutritional Arsenal
To combat the effects of his brain injuries, Romanowski relies on nutrition. He uses what he calls "a million supplements every day," including ones from his Lean1 nutrition brand. These supplements are selected carefully to enhance brain function and overall health, underlining his proactive approach to his well-being.
A Comprehensive Fitness Program
Apart from his diet, Romanowski is also physically active. He swims, lifts weights, and has red-light therapy, which is an emerging treatment that is thought to enhance cellular health and reduce inflammation.
The combination of these practices shows that he's committed to combat any health issues that might arise. He's now ready to be stronger this time.
Family History Fuels His Determination
Romanowski will find motivation to hold on to that healthy living, not just with his NFL past. Personal reasons also propel him: his family history. His mother is battling Alzheimer's, and Romanowski faces the fact that he can inherit such risky genetic conditions.
Moreover, recent revelations about Brett Favre, a famous athlete, suffering from Parkinson's make Romanowski take a proactive stance now, which feels urgent and necessary.
A Bright Perspective Amid Life Obstacles
During a recent interview, Romanowski was full of energy and optimism. While he admits to having fears about neurological problems, his proactive measures have kept him moving forward with resilience.
For Romanowski, every day is an opportunity to invest in his health. Combining advanced therapies, a disciplined workout regimen, and cutting-edge nutritional strategies, he's proving that even after a career filled with intense physical challenges, it's possible to take control of your well-being.
Back in April Romanowski and his wife filed for bankruptcy over unpaid taxes. According to USA Today, the couple owed the US government millions for that, as per court records.
