More practical than my formal education

This book is the ultimate resource for anyone like me who has decided to switch careers and move into the Health and fitness field. It lays out very practical information and backs it up with immediately applicable tools.

Informative, helpful, incredible to listen to.

As I’m writing this, I have finished listening to Change Maker 3 separate times. Each time taking away new ideas and action steps. I have not done the precision nutrition training, but this book has confirmed my wanting to continue learning from Dr. Berardi and his team. As a recent grad with degrees in both biochemistry and nutrition, I have my sights set on becoming a Registered Dietitian. I have already seen a lot of out-dated information and no real guidance on working with individuals to help reach their goals. I have sought out resources to help and this book is helping me with just that. The Narration is entertaining, allowing me to listen intently whether I’m driving, walking, or working out. Absolutely recommend this to not only those looking to coach or grow a business, but those also looking for personal development as well! Great job!

Excellent advise! Thank you!

Loved it! great guidelines on how to progress in life/career. Beautifully dictated. Kept me interested. I will definitely be using the skills I learned from this book.

One of the best books for health coaches

amazing read - would r commend to anyone looking to become a fitness professional!

For every health coach!

After certifying as a coach with PN, I just had to take a listen to this book. It's helped me gain clarity with my online health coaching business and would say it's a necessary read for all health coaches wanted to make real change in the lives of their clients.

Top quality from a top professional

If you are looking to learn from one of the top health and wellness professionals in the world and their way of thinking then this book is for you. Open your mind to new ideas and learn how to organize your professional path. I love how real, easy to understand, clearly this book is written. This is a must read!:)

as the title suggests, this book makes changes

loved it and have been slowly applying the methods learned to my training business. has been successful in getting in front of more prospects and creating more relationships, and clients!

A really great book.

This was a great book. It's laid out in a logical format and progresses at a steady pace. John starts out by giving you some highlights about what he is going to get into. Then he dives into each one in a methodical and clear way giving facts and stories reinforcing the data and oftentimes uses stories from his own life and career. John then follows up with a summary of each topic at the end of the book with some more context and how they each connect. There are also free charts, forms, and questioners you get access to when you buy the book and they are awesome.

It is, however, a pretty deep dive into each topic, and not light reading. If you try and answer the questions he asks about yourself there's going to be a lot of internal back and forth but there is still plenty of value if you're not the journaling type. Sometimes I had to stop and think about what he was saying and let it sink in, which is when I grabbed my highlighter. If you're the kind of reader that really wants to chew on the subject matter like a steak and give it some thought, I'd recommend the paperback edition of the book. If you are used to audiobooks and don't mind listening to it once or twice I highly recommend the audiobook because John reads the book himself and I think you get a little more context from his voice then the pages. I really enjoyed listening to him.

If you're interested in the Precision Nutrition Level 1 certification, and still on the fence, I would highly recommend this book. I am working my way through the certification now, and a lot of the coaching mindset comes out in this book and a lot of the Precision Nutrition principles are baked into this book. I would also highly recommend the certification for those on the fence.

Inspired to be Better

Fantastic for any one who wants to grow their business whether in Fitness or not. Ive been aPersonal Trainer for 12 years and now educate other Trainers. This book along with the worksheets took me right back to why I started and gave me new insights and ideas.

Excellent book

The book guides you to assess your strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes and where your knowledge lies and then shows you on how to use them. Love the free worksheets. I can see myself using them again and again to reassess where I am, as my career progresses and my goals grow or change.
