Secret Academy Episode - John BerardiIt is often not until we are older that we realize that our health becomes a top priority. For others like John Berardi, this was a means for him to stay in shape, play sports during high school, and lastly to help him pick up girls. Learning about fitness and nutrition can become a very mundane task since there is almost too much information out there. Instead, John found himself a few mentors to learn the fundamentals about health, fitness, and nutrition. While pursuing his masters and PHD, John linked up with a more technical savvy friend and launched Science Link, the predecessor to Precision Nutrition, in early 2000. This website became the only authority in nutrition and landed John numerous guest opportunities on major publications. When John released a nutritional course and made over $150,000 in two days, he knew he had a business in his hands. Over the last decade, Precision Nutrition has shifted focus to provide nutrition, health, and fitness tips to millions online while at the same time providing an extensive certification program for nutritional specialists to enable them to train clients offline. Today, John can be found traveling the world, authoring books, training world championship teams/athletes, or spending time with his family.
