LIONEL MESSI
In 2013, after suffering a series of stubborn injuries that hampered his form, Lionel Messi decided to change his lifestyle.
Messi, 32, flew to Italy to meet with Dr Giuliano Poser in Sacile to discuss his issues."Messi was told, according to well-informed Argentine journalist Veronica Brunati, to eat only what his body needs, not what it wants."
As part of his more colourful approach, Poser encouraged Messi to undertake emotional work, psychotherapy and take Bach flower remedy.
Lighter by 3 kilos, Messi came back by firing in the 2014-2015 season - scoring 58 goals - he'd managed 41 the previous year.
He also played an additional 11 games that he might've missed through injury in the past.
Poser's advice put Messi in good stead and has helped him prolong his status at the top of the game.
Actresses Salma Hayek, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Aniston and Emma Watson have all revealed in the past that they take the holistic medicine to keep calm under pressure.
