Summary
Nutrition is a huge part of the conversation for us, both personally and professionally. We are constantly hearing about fad diets and calorie counting. Our basic philosophy is to EAT REAL FOOD. Even still, we are always exploring how nutrition affects our overall health and fitness -what we eat, when we eat, the quality of the ingredients, even the types of oils we use. We are excited about this conversation with John Berardi - he is a writer, coach, researcher, athlete, and the co-founder of Precision Nutrition. John has devoted his career to making health and fitness something that can be achieved by everyone. Precision Nutrition is built on the simple idea that "Good health and a thriving body are the birthright of every single person on this planet." They have an extensive network of multidisciplinary, research-driven coaches that have helped tens of thousands of people work toward their goals and live healthier lives. Precision Nutrition also offers two certification programs enabling fitness and health professionals to become elite coaches using the latest nutrition knowledge in their own practices.

| 0:39.0 | And we're so excited about this today because nutrition is a big talking point around our house. |
| 0:44.0 | Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, dude, you might as well be talking about religion. |
| 0:48.8 | There is so much information about nutrition. |
| 0:51.6 | It has become the blind leading the blind. |
| 0:55.5 | And really, I mean, |
| 0:58.9 | we were just driving down the street the other day and I saw like a vegan juice company that now offers keto plants. So what's interesting about John is that he's a generalist. And more importantly, |

| 1:09.7 | development to athletics to genetics is that it's |
| 1:12.5 | about first principles and oftentimes first principles are not about nutrition at all. It's about |
| 1:17.6 | behavior and changing behavior. You know, I took John's level one certification. I just loved it. |
| 1:23.5 | And what he really focuses on is how to change people's habits. In fact, much of the course is not about nutrition at all. |
| 1:30.1 | When we have these conversations around eating better food and food quality at our dinner table, |
