Martyn Ford finds himself in the hospital after weeks in pain.

As the new head of 5% Nutrition, the company created by the late Rich Piana, Martyn Ford has had some big shoes to fill and has done a pretty good job in keeping the brand alive. Martyn Ford has been hard at work promoting the 5% brand as well as making movies in different parts of the globe. But it would apparently seem that all that time, Ford was suffering from a stomach ailment.

Finally returning to his home country of Britain, Martyn Ford was able to receive the care he needed in order to mitigate any potential serious ailments. His recent post on Instagram highlights exactly what adversity he’s been facing and what the future may hold in terms of his condition.

So quick update….. Im finally back on British waters, and i won’t lie! Im so pleased….. for all you guys out there that take our NHS for granted, believe me…. we have it so good here. Finally feel like im on the mend. Having had a few weeks from hell. I will know more in the next few hours, but there is a realistic chance i need surgery. It appears i have a blockage in stomach which is the culprit for all of this pain. Looks like a bit of scar tissue from a previous operation 30 years ago could be to blame. Worst case, im under the chop later on today and looking like a 10-12 week recovery period. Either way……. im lucky to be pain free and with a diagnosis, just need to plan ahead now, new daily targets. HUGE thank you to everyone who has messaged me, ive literally been dying mind so please forgive if not replied. Have amazing day guys #martynford
