ROMAN REIGNS ON HOW HE BATTLED LEUKEMIA


The WWE star returned to the ring just four months after revealing his diagnosis. He's now sticking to a less strenuous exercise routine.

Real-Life Diet is a series in which GQ talks to athletes, celebrities, and everyone in-between about their diets and exercise routines: what's worked, what hasn't, and where they're still improving. Keep in mind, what works for them might not necessarily be healthy for you.
