| 0:13.0 | Right now there's only like four billion nutrition coaches in the world and really the show is kind of geared more towards understanding where you are with your specific needs and how to find a coach that's going to be able to meet you at that level. |
| 0:29.0 | Over 26 years of me lifting weights I would not recommend myself to many people from like the years of you know 14 to 22 years old because I just didn't have the experience. |
| 0:45.0 | I had a lot of ideas but not really the experience to be able to say like I know kind of what I'm doing inside the nutrition and fitness space. |
| 0:54.0 | In this show we kind of dig into a lot of the path of what a nutrition coach is going to go through how they're going to meet you, meet you where you're at, the skill sets they likely have. |
| 1:06.0 | And then as you get more and more into nutrition coaching, fitness coaching, strength conditioning, how do you find a coach that's going to be able to elevate their level to where your level is because you do not want to be working with a beginner coach if you've been in the gym or focusing on your health for 20 years or something like that. |
| 1:23.0 | And really what we dig into overall kind of gets into really like the state of coaching in the nutrition space and really how you can be looking for the correct level over time to continually be up in your game and getting better and better health, better results and everything that goes along with that. |
| 1:45.0 | As always friends, head over to rapidhealthreport.com. That's where you can see Dan Garner, the man in the myth, get in there and read some labs, do some nutrition supplementation protocols and you can find all that over at rapidhealthreport.com. Friends, let's get into the show. |

| 2:19.0 | But today on Bob Ross, we're going to be talking about the fitness nutrition landscape, really how people are able to enter into the space if you'd like to get set up as a nutrition coach. |
| 2:30.0 | And then part of that process is really like determining what people need along their journey, how you can meet them where they're at and continue to improve your skills. |
| 2:39.0 | Dude, I'd love to kind of understand how, how did you, because you were not the founder of precision nutrition. So where did you come in and kind of that story, the acquisition and just where were the pieces in place before you actually became CEO. |
| 2:54.0 | Yeah, yeah, so you're asking about the origin story, it sounds like so effectively, JB and I or for I'm just making an assumption everybody here who knows who JB is when I say JB, but Dr. |
