Scott Magers Biography

Scott Magers is a leading educator, formulator, and motivator in the field of nutrition and fitness. With over 20 years of experience in nutritional science, Scott has worked with many of the top professional and Olympic athletes, business leaders, sports teams, youth groups, and celebrities outlining detailed programs emphasizing a low glycemic, nutrient-dense, balanced approach to nourishing the body. Founding several nutrition companies such as Z Power Nutrition, Logic Nutrition, NutriSource International, and NutriPowers, Japan, the goal has been to create the highest quality line of nutritional products.

Delivering exceptional products was achieved by blending nutritional science with the latest low glycemic technology and a non-compromising standard of excellence. The products thus developed included meal replacement bars, shakes, herbal adaptogenic formulas, several nutraceuticals and energy drinks. The XS Energy Drink has set records in sales: over 100 million cans sold between October 2002 and January 2005 and is distributed in all 50 US states and Canada, U.K., Japan, Australia and New Zealand. (http://xsgear.com/) Another two non-caffeinated energy drinks have recently hit the market and are expecting explosive growth. Scott’s products have been used in diabetic studies resulting in better blood sugar and insulin control while lowering hemoglobin A1C readings to safer levels. He has recently begun marketing the first water permitted by the FDA to make hydration and nutrient absorption claims on the label. Double-blind studies have demonstrated this new micro-clustered, hexagonal, water to be a major breakthrough in nutritional science.

In 2000, Tom Jones, an ultra-marathon runner and two-time world champion kick-boxer, asked for help. With Scott’s design and supervision of the runner’s personalized nutritional and supplementation program, Tom successfully ran 26.2 miles per day for 120 straight days, a 3,150 mile journey from California to New York. This is an amazing feat by anyone’s standards.

Scott has built personalized programs for top baseball stars such as Gabe Kapler, Colorado Rockies centerfielder, and one of baseball’s fittest players; Jose Canseco, one of baseball’s premier power hitters with 462 lifetime homeruns; Jeff Suppan, Pittsburgh Pirates ace pitcher; Frank Catalanotto, one of the top hitters in baseball, and Jerry Hairston, second baseman for the Baltimore Orioles. Another player’s story deserves mention here. After suffering what doctors diagnosed to be a career-ending knee injury, Randy Curtis, outfielder for the San Diego Padres, made a miraculous recovery. Not able to walk for months, Randy followed Scott’s advice and started working on a plan to make a comeback in professional baseball. Spending many hours learning the proper nutrients needed for healing, Randy was able to not only play the next season, but finished the year with 20 stolen bases! Randy now works with athletes sharing his story about the importance of proper nutrition and a balanced, low glycemic diet.

Prior to meeting Scott, swimmer and Olympic gold medalist, Jason Lezak, was ranked 10th in the world in the 100 meter freestyle event. In eight weeks time, using Scott’s nutrition program, Jason came within one tenth of a second from setting a new world record. This brought his world ranking to #1. In addition, Scott has personally consulted other Olympic swimming stars such as gold medalist, Lenny Krazelberg, silver medalist, Scott Tucker, Bobby Brewer as well as Olympic volleyball star Rob Heider.

Olympic track and field legend, Edwin Moses, shared with Scott that much of his ten-year dominance in the high hurdles was achieved by closely following a balanced low glycemic approach to eating and was thrilled to see this information published in Scott’s nutrition guide book.

World-class sprinters, Curtis Johnson, Aaron Lacy, Douglas Bignall, Jerome Davis, top-ranked collegiate star Mario Bassanti, have all spent hours with Scott fine-tuning their training supplementation and diets.

Scott has shared his concepts with top martial artists including legendary stars Benny “the jet” Urquidez, undefeated in over 200 competitions; Kathy Long, five-time world champion kick-boxer, and Joe Morera, world champion jujitsu competitor. He has worked with Olympic coaches Dr. Ben Tabachnick, Loren Seagraves, Dr. Frank Little, and Stanford strength and conditioning coach, John Murray, on incorporating key components to building championship caliber athletes. Stanford’s Men’s Basketball team recently went 26-0 to start the 2004 season and adhere to Scott’s low glycemic nutrition plan and products on a daily basis. Scott was recently named nutrition advisor for the Golden State Warriors professional basketball team for the 2004-2005 season.

Top celebrity trainers Todd Person, Kathy Boyd, and Raphael Ruiz all endorse the NutriSource Nutrition program and routinely have Scott speak with their top clients. Former NFL Football legend Steve Young has recently joined Scott in an effort to educate the public on the importance of solid nutrition.

Scott’s own training, nutritional regiment and work ethic has inspired many of the people he has worked with by his method of leading by example. He has trained religiously with weights since 1979, has run many marathons and has worked out six days a week. He has achieved a personal goal of 1000 sit-ups in 16 minutes. Starting with 30 push-ups, he added one additional push up every day for over 15 months, to achieve 500 straight push-ups. He believes that balanced eating and intense training keep the body finely tuned to take on just about anything.

Scott believes a new standard of nutritional awareness and excellence can be achieved through a process of understanding the key concepts of eating and supplementing in hormonal balance combined with incorporating a physically active lifestyle.

Scott has lectured and conducted seminars in nutrition and fitness for corporations, clubs, universities, junior colleges, high schools, and youth organizations. He has directed youth sports camps since 1990. His passion for helping people with their health has guided him in understanding what it takes to empower people to put health, fitness, and nutrition higher on their priority list. Dedication to learning, researching, and developing the highest quality programs, products, nutritional systems, and training drives Scott to stay on the forefront in a field that is constantly changing and growing.
