The 2022-2023 season brought a lot of losses and heartbreak in the life of the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback. Tom Brady had one of his toughest years when he was edged out of the race from winning the Super Bowl. It was the first season where TB12 advanced with a losing record. Not only did he have a difficult year at work, but his personal life was also awry. The 45-year-old star athlete separated from his supermodel wife, with whom he was married for thirteen years. All the hardships took a heavy toll on his mind and body.
The elite QB finished with an 8-9 record and lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card Round. The direct result of all the problems in his life affected his health.

Tom Brady went through a tough time which affected his body adversely
Gisele Bündchen and Brady announced their divorce in October. They asked for privacy and decided to separate in an amicable manner.

According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, the future Hall of Famer lost 15 pounds during the season. Many people noticed his gaunt appearance. “But Brady also knows his own mental focus was gone for a bulk of the season. His physical stature, faced with 15 pounds of weight loss, was also in peril.”
That is unsettling and unusual because we all know how much of a health manic he is. The video that Darlington shared, which is named ‘Final Dilemma,’ contained never-heard-before information about what exactly transpired in the QB’s life.
