There is a scary amount of information — and misinformation — available on the internet, making it outrageously difficult to separate fact from fiction, opinion from science. One company is out to change that: Renaissance Periodization. RP works with people from all walks of life to establish and teach the right methods to achieving your nutrition and fitness goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight or gain, train for powerlifting or physique, they can show you how to get there. Best yet, their work is based on peer-reviewed literature and undeniable science. “… formulas, calculations, and literature reviews replace gurus, hunches, and attachments to tradition,” they write on their website. To RP, science is the most reliable path to truth and results.

CEO Nick Shaw tells The WOD Life, “RP is a lifestyle, not necessarily a ‘diet.’ We help educate clients on what to eat, when, and how much entirely based on their goals. We’re big fans of only short dieting phases to hit specific goals. The rest of the time should be spent maintaining your bodyweight and improving performance.” RP has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the globe smash their goals — “… no fads, no gimmicks, and no shortcuts,” Shaw says.

How do they do it, you wonder? Aside from rock-solid research and cold hard facts, RP relies on a team of highly trained experts: “The thing that sets RP apart is our staff,” explains Shaw. “We have the most accomplished staff in the industry, including 17 PhDs, 5 Registered Dietitians, and a practicing Family Physician.”


RP’s mission is beyond admirable, and you can’t argue their results. Want to learn from the best of the best? Check out The Renaissance Diet and for the ladies specifically, Renaissance Woman.
