Hello – Thank you for stopping by. My name is John Brooks I’m the founder of Nutrition 361.

I’m based in suburban Chicago and work with people all over the world. I have a B.S. in Biology from DePaul University and a M.S. in Nutrition & Wellness from Benedictine University.

I’m also a Certified Sports Nutritionist with the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN) and I’m Precision Nutrition (level 1) certified.

I have over 15 years of experience in the health and fitness industry.

Much of that time was spent in the supplement industry, where as a result I have vast knowledge about supplements and the evidence for and against using various ones.

When I’m not coaching clients or with my family, I train and compete in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and hold the rank of black belt. I also participate in resistance training and love running 5Ks with my wife.

Services

First and foremost, I offer true one-on-one nutrition coaching. I do not have a one-size-fits-all approach, rather I study the available evidence and use my experience to help you achieve your goals.

You will never hear me say things such as, you need to eat clean (what does that even mean) or you need to just try harder as these coaching clichés are nonstarters and really do not help you get to your goals.

One of the things I do best is find what barriers and limiting factors are keeping you from reaching your goals and finding solutions.

I understand how daunting habit change can be when past failures enter your mind. Below are some more details about working with me:
