The Precision Nutrition Level 2 Certification Master Class: Frequently Asked Questions.

Our team consists of some of the best nutritionists, graduate students, dietitians and specialists in the business.

For example, Dr. John Berardi, co-founder and co-author of Precision Nutrition's Level 1 and Level 2 programs, exposed to nearly every aspect of health, fitness and nutrition. He was:

• A nutrition student who completed his Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology and Nutrient Biochemistry from the University of Western Ontario.
• A nutrition teacher at several universities including the University of Texas, Eastern Michigan University, and the University of Western Ontario.
• A competitive athlete who won Mr. Jr. USA in 1995.
• A personal trainer who runs a successful Miami exercise business.
• A researcher who has published studies in peer-reviewed journals.
• An author of over half a dozen nutrition books and hundreds of articles in magazines such as Men’s Health, Women’s Health and many more.
• A consultant to companies like Nike, Equinox and Titleist.
• A nutrition trainer for thousands of everyday people and many professional athletes and Olympic gold medalists.

Aside from being academically qualified, he has a pretty unique perspective – one that is very suitable for teaching this material, especially for professionals.

Dr. Berardi has seen the field of nutrition from more angles, both personally and professionally, than almost anyone who teaches nutrition today.

He has also written chapters for other nutrition textbooks, created university courses in sports nutrition at the masters level, and created nutrition certification material for other certification bodies.

He therefore has extensive experience in creating academic course material.

And he's only one person. Our Precision Nutrition Level 2 Certification Program has been created by a team of experts including:

• Dr. Krista Scott-Dixon, Adult Education / Curriculum Design Specialist and inventor of our Precision Nutrition Coaching program.
• Brian St. Pierre, RD, MSc, performance nutrition specialist and advisor to professional athletes.

Most of all, we are qualified to teach this because we have used and tested this system extensively here at Precision Nutrition with our own customers and trainers.

Remember: Precision Nutrition isn't just a certification company.

Over the past 15 years, we've quietly conducted the world's largest body conversion research project through our Precision Nutrition Coaching System.

We've got over 100,000 clients going through our Nutritional Coaching curriculum, essentially doing an exercise, diet, and lifestyle intervention.

The purpose of this coaching is simple: to help people lose fat, gain muscle mass when needed, and completely change their body, health and life.

Here's the thing: since the entire program is online, we can collect data on everything. And we mean everything.

Since we don't see customers in person, we can't "sample" things. We need data. Therefore we have detailed psychometric (personality) profiles of our customers. We track compliance and any measurable and relevant behavior. And of course we regularly collect photos and monitor body composition and performance results.

As a result of this rigorous data collection, we can safely say that we know better than almost anyone in the world what makes great coaches and what helps clients change their bodies and lives.

Remember, we are not talking about what we think is related to success. We talk about what we absolutely know is related to success. Success here means that our customers know and understand what needs to be done. And they do it. Consequent. They improve their body composition, health, performance and quality of life.

Success here also means that our trainers work at a high level. This means that they continuously educate themselves, develop themselves professionally and refine their coaching skills.
