So what your interested in is anatomy and possibly some physiology. Anatomy is parts of the body (believe me there are a lot) and physiology is how the body systems work. Pretty intense stuff, I'm taking the classes next semester at college and they are rough.
Edit: if you want to learn what happens to chemicals in the body when you take things either orally or IV then you'll need chemistry, organic chemistry I believe. I wouldn't **** with that with a 10 foot stick. Orgo is a living hell.

I took intro to nutrition and anatomy and physiology (in addition to general and organic chem) a couple years ago when I was planning on pursuing an additional master's in nutrition and those were the pre-reqs for the program since my previous schooling is all on the arts side.
Those 2 classes were very informational and I learned a ton from them (especially the intro to nutrition one). I'd highly recommend looking into that as a class or even just the textbook to learn on your own.
Unfortunately, I already forgot a bulk of the stuff from chem -- ugh.

What was your first masters in? I'm majoring in exercise science and I was looking at nutrition down the road, interested to hear your thoughts on it now.

Total curveball for me -- I did my bachelor's in broadcasting and then a master's in communication (theory).
Always worked out, but started getting into bodybuilding specifically near the end of grad school. Was going to do the MS in nutrition when I thought I was going to move to NC, but halted when I didn't (program was through ECU and it's online, but out of state tuition is insane -- and I work for a university, so I would've been working for a school in the state and getting it paid for -- that was the only way I was going to do it).
I think nutrition is a very good field to get into with the obesity problem we have. We'll have a lot more people needing RD's (a good friend of mine got a job with the VA out in San Diego doing that -- we did undergrad together and that's what her bachelor's was in).

On wow quite a change haha. I'm double majoring in exercise science and Business hopefully so I can own my own gym one day. Always love hearing how all the other areas of my field are tho, good to learn as much as you can if you're teaching people in my opinion.

Best of luck to you, man.
If I ever opened a gym, it would be unsuccessful because I would constantly kick people out for not racking weights or being douchebags. Not good for profits lol.

Hahaha yeah I'm afraid of that as well. I planned on making mine more unconventional so we'd have the normal stuff you find in a gym but we'd also have tires and sleds, kegs filled with sand etc.
