This week Ian "Chef" Larios shares his journey into becoming regarded as the world's best (and most sought after) Nutritionist and Dietician for the world's best fighters. After getting an opportunity to work with Sergio Pettis almost ten years ago, he has since been invited to be part of fight camps with the likes of Daniel Cormier, newly crowned light heavy weight champion, Jamal Hill, and interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez. Ian joins me live from his home in Bali and shares:

•  His childhood growing with parents as international school teachers.
• Moving from country to country from a young age.
• Discovering his love for Bali as a child.
• Being told he had no talent by teachers.
• Finding a niche role in competitive fighting.
• Refining is craft at the "Swamp House" in Canguu.
• Sleeping on floors in Thai gyms in his early days of chasing his dream.
• The important role he plays in assisting fighters to cut weight safely without impacting performance.
• His desire to change the culture of weight cutting.
• Getting a major acknowledgement and shoutout on the Joe Rogan Experience.
• Training with champions constantly and the positive impact of being surrounded by champion mind-sets.
• Inadvertently becoming a counsellor to fighters.
• The importance of developing rapport.
• Running an ultra marathon for charity and much much more. 

It's a long conversation that seems to really take flight after the first 45 minutes or so. Ian is a 29 year old man, living his dream...you'll be inspired. I guarantee it.
Enjoy,
Shan 

Ian supports and advocates for the Bali Children Foundation
