JOHN BERARDI, PH.D., C.S.C.S

If you were going to build the ultimate human performance and nutrition coach, what ingredients would you need? Extensive athletic experience? Rigorous academic training? Years of coaching experience?

A combination of the three?

Dr. John Berardi is that rare combination, and so it should come as no surprise that he has risen to the top of the human performance and nutrition field.

Dr. Berardi earned his PhD in Kinesiology, with a specialization in Exercise Biology and Nutritional Biochemistry from the University of Western Ontario. He has also studied and lectured on the topics of exercise physiology, pharmacology, endocrinology, psychology and health science.

But Dr. Berardi has the practical experience necessary to put all that book learning to use. In addition to his academic expertise, John has spent the last 12 years in the field, coaching clients from all walks of life. His clients have won Olympic gold medals, ran marathons, and dropped their 40-yard times. Others walk runways in Milan or compete in fitness and figure competitions. Some are treating cardiovascular disease, diabetes or digestive disorders. And many just want to look good naked.

And last but not least, John is no stranger to high-level athletics himself. He has had success as a regional level power lifter, a track and field athlete, a rugby player, and a national level bodybuilder - winning the prestigious 1995 Mr. Jr. USA contest.

Professionally, Dr. Berardi has devoted himself to one purpose: to take the latest research findings from human performance and nutrition labs and universities around the world and translate those findings into real-world results for his clients and readers. A sought after speaker and prolific author, John has lectured all over the world, authored over 200 training and nutrition articles and recently co-authored a book with Dr. John Williams, entitled “Gourmet Nutrition: Recipes, Cooking Tips and Nutrition Strategies for a Winning Body.”
