Djokovic opens up about his diet in Transcendence series

Published Oct 23, 2018

From tennis star to movie star, Novak Djokovic is set to be featured in a new docuseries, Transcendence: Life Beyond the Ordinary.

The five episode series, which will premiere on November 1, will “explore the current state of our physical, emotional, and mental health in a new captivating way.” The episodes will discuss food, overcoming stress and fear, belief, goals and the art of fulfillment.

Djokovic credited a change in his diet in 2010 after his quarterfinal loss to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at the Australian Open, for his rise to the top of the game in 2011, which has led to 14 Grand Slam titles.

"I felt my energy was low, and my nose was blocked, and [there] was plenty of things going on. It was not the first time," Djokovic said. "I didn't understand that there was this nutrition part that was blocking me, in a way, because I wasn't eating correctly, even though I thought I was."

Before his nutrition change, Djokovic had won just one Slam, the 2008 Australian Open. The 31-year-old is now famously gluten and diary free, and follows a very strict diet, which limits his sugar intake as well.

Transcendence features 26 of the world’s most recognized celebrities, doctors and thought leaders including Mark Hyman, Libby Weaver, Bruce Lipton, Wim Hof, Gabrielle Bernstein, Joe Dispenza and Marie Forleo.
