Mac-Nutrition Uni Reviews
I've not encountered this level of support or practical application in any course or degree program I've ever taken.
A key point to be made is that the tutors are not only academically knowledgeable but also have real-world experience to back up what they're teaching.
I made so many genuine, extremely high-quality professional connections with other MNU students and former students who I am confident I can go to at any time as a sounding board, for insight on client issues, feedback on project ideas, etc. I honestly feel like I have a team of world-class nutrition professionals at my fingertips anytime I may need a second opinion. I also made a few truly dear, close friends who I can't wait to meet face to face.
In addition to the incredible education, the personal and professional connections are something you simply cannot put a price tag on.
I can't thank everyone enough for a truly incredible experience! Each and every one of the MNU team.
This FAR FAR exceeded my expectations of the course. I really can't even put it all into words. Even the exams were outstanding. I never would have thought I'd be impressed with the exams.
The content and format were really outstanding. The Mentoring Lab has been incredibly valuable for practising what we learn through discussions, both in those where I contribute and those where I simply turn on notifications so I can follow other comments.
I'm proud to be in the same company as other MNU Certified Nutritionists!
I felt incredibly supported by both MNU staff and peers, it's a learning environment like no other. It has genuinely changed my life and I am now in a career I never thought would be possible, with a level of confidence I never expected I could achieve.
I only wish I'd done MNU sooner and saved myself £40k of debt getting a degree!
I really enjoyed learning how to be a good practitioner. I also loved the LIVE lectures, they really made you feel part of something.
I can't quite believe how different my career and life are now from what it was when I started the course. MNU has changed the way I think and feel, and I am so proud to be in the position I am in now.
I have started working with youth athletes in a high-performance program, with a few competing for GB. Most recently one athlete attended his first British Championship and made the final!
I can't thank you enough for providing such an incredible, engaging, thought-provoking and genuinely life-changing course. MNU has been a highlight of my life.
I've had some brilliant client successes by putting my knowledge into practice and I'm really proud and honoured to be in a position to help people; this is only the beginning. Thank you Martin and the MNU team, you guys are the best!
I think this course managed the impossible; it facilitates both people who have zero knowledge in the area of nutrition and those who have extensive knowledge but may lack knowledge in certain areas.
MNU is the most evidence-based and practical course I have had the pleasure of completing.
For me, the best thing about the course is that everything is backed by evidence which in the world of nutrition is rare.
All of the lectures gives the student guidelines on how the info translates to the real world.
The Mentoring Lab and the Student group makes this the most holistic course which creates a truly empowered group of people.
I also learned a huge volume on populations I would not generally work with. I look forward to continuing my education with MNU!
Every part of the MNU course is of the highest quality.
The level of student support is second to none, I was rarely left with any questions or confused about anything involved in the course because everything is very well thought out and clearly explained. The few times I did have questions, they were answered quickly and the staff were so helpful.
In terms of applicability to career or business, I feel much more prepared in pursuing a career in this industry now.
I previously completed an undergraduate degree at university, but it's only after completing this course that I feel confident in having a successful career and have a clear idea of how to go about achieving it.
I loved how practical everything was for the 'real world' and how I could see clearly how I could apply everything to working in nutrition.
In my undergrad, nearly everything was research focused which made it very difficult to apply things in a practical setting, but I feel that MNU bridges this gap very well. Getting insights into how staff have dealt with certain situations with various clients/settings was also a highlight.
Overall MNU is an excellent course that I would highly recommend to anyone!
MNU was a life changing year of education.
The course has been set up to make the learning process as smooth as possible while allowing those who are truly interested in learning and developing their skills to do just that!
Any queries I had throughout the course were addressed swiftly and always in great depth.
The Mentoring Lab is an invaluable add on and there is so much amazing content in there that I haven't had a chance to touch on yet.
Other courses I have studied previously were incomparable to MNU.
The course has been the driving factor in finally giving me the confidence that I will be able to make a career out of coaching.
I now have an Online Coaching business and have an aim of building it to a point where I can leave my current job. Without MNU, I can say for sure that I would not be as confident on that journey and nowhere near as certain of it's success.
Module 4 is what really set the course apart for me. I took so much from it to apply to what I am currently doing and I can already see the pay off. The Live Check-in weeks were also brilliant.
Until I did MNU, I would never have had the confidence to do nutrition seminars for large companies.
Since starting MNU, I have done about 5 corporate workshops for the top companies in Northern Ireland and hosted my very own 'Nutrition and Female Health' event.
The event attracted 230 attendees, who came from all over Ireland, which is my proudest moment to date.
I currently work alongside top medical and industry professionals delivering nutrition and female health workshops and have recently been approached by schools and Universities.
Having done several other nutrition courses, I know that there is no comparison to MNU.
The highlights for me were the weekend residentials and the new Mac-Nutrition family that I now belong to!
MNU has changed my perspective on learning massively.
Doing a course is one thing, but to do a course with high standards, great ethics and a want to improve and help the industry is another.
The level of student support surpasses any other course I have done by far. It definitely feels more of a community rather than a student/teacher environment and having the ability to ask questions in the student threads on Facebook is excellent.
The residential days really helped to boost my confidence. I was also impressed with how the tutors knew everyone's names. I came away confident that I would know how to apply the skills we learnt into a client environment.
I also enjoyed the live check-in weeks, it makes such a difference when you can actually see and communicate in real-time with people.
Mac-Nutrition Uni is getting around the globe. A head-hunter messaged me on LinkedIn from Dubai looking for a Nutritionist, it's good to know there are opportunities out there!
Mac-Nutrition Uni is unequivocally the best learning experience I have ever had.
The quality of course content and the practical design of everything including the lecture format, learning support, additional resources, revision material, exam period, I could go on...completely blows my red brick undergraduate degree out of the water.
It's hard to pick a particular highlight but I love the way the course brings together basic theory with advanced nutritional principles and practical insights to give such a comprehensive and real-world understanding of nutrition.
MNU is the perfect preparation for someone looking to become a practitioner in the nutrition industry.
This course has definitely improved my personal nutrition from a goal-specific perspective which has been great.
Taking part in MNU has been an absolute pleasure and I have loved being a student throughout. Thank you so much to all of you at MNU for making the course such an interesting, funny, inspiring, and useful experience. I'm definitely going to miss following along to such brilliant lectures each week.
Words cannot express how amazing Mac-Nutrition Uni has been.
From the easy-to-understand educational content, wonderful support, and everything in between, it is truly the best course on the market.
Before MNU, I had strong concepts and ideas about real health. Early on in the course, you are invited to challenge your own ideologies and biases around nutrition and its application. It was such a memorable task, something I doubt any other education institutions promote. That was the beginning of a profound change in myself.
I have now adopted a more critical mindset when presented with not just nutritional information, but any information.
This critical thinking mindset is a constant theme throughout the course and you are motivated to become curious and question everything. This unique skill has made me more confident, passionate, and eager to help others by demystifying the space of nutrition.
MNU is more than just a nutrition course, it has taught me so much about myself, the industry and my business, and completely changed my view on life.
I feel so grateful that I found MNU as it has allowed me to follow my passion and has set me ahead in life by leaps and bounds in just a year.

MNU has been the best course I have done, superior to my physio degree, acupuncture courses and women's health courses.
Everything was so relevant to clinical practice which made me motivated to study.
I really think completing MNU has changed my life. I have only gone back to working as a physio 1 day per week and last week I had the best month yet in my online business making £4.5K!
If it hadn't been for the push to put myself out there on social media and the knowledge gained through the course, none of this would have happened!
Thank you so much for changing my life, it sounds over the top but it really has! Before MNU I never thought I could make my online business work from home!
MNU was my first fitness-related course and I have been blown away by the team's level of knowledge and how it's been converted into such easy-to-follow lectures and modules.
Having spent 12 years working in finance I was looking at a change of career.
I was excited to be a part of MNU but was concerned that it may have been too advanced for my novice level, however, the weekly structure of the lectures and how they're broken down into the different modules worked perfectly. The continued Student Group support from others on the course and the answers received from the MNU team were fantastic.
Being part of the Mentoring Lab and interacting with those already certified so I could learn from their experiences was invaluable.
A personal highlight of mine was the guest lectures; all content across the course was fantastic, but these felt above and beyond compared to what I'd expect from another nutrition course.
I have been able to leave a job and country that was damaging to my mental health to get back in a happier place and look with confidence to the future, rather than dread, Thanks to MNU.
Wow, what a fantastic learning experience the past year has been. Goodbye imposter syndrome, hello new confident me.
I have done quite a few nutrition courses over the past 30+ years and can honestly say that MNU makes them pale into insignificance in its light of brilliance.
With previous courses, I have always been left feeling that I could have learned more, but this is definitely not the case with MNU.
MNU caters to every level. You can either just engage in the normal course content (which is excellently presented) or take the opportunity to “deep dive” into any specific areas that interest you - there is no pressure at all. The way that the course is set up and delivered is incredible, it flows brilliantly throughout and I genuinely looked forward to every lecture.
Any questions you have are answered promptly by the MNU team, or you can use the Mentoring Lab, which can only be described as outstanding.
The course has made me challenge my own biases as well as others in many aspects of my life - especially at work. Having the confidence to do this has made for a better workplace and, I believe, a better outcome for the patients we serve.
Mac-Nutrition Uni is by far the best course I have ever done and I honestly can’t speak highly enough about it. The whole course resounds with the MNU core principles of Wisdom, Confidence and Integrity.
There is no comparison to Mac-Nutrition Uni. It is streets ahead.
The course helps a person grow with confidence in all areas, not just knowledge.
MNU provides an amazing amount of information that not only educates but changes perceptions and shows someone how to critically evaluate information in an unbiased way.
The support and professionalism from the entire MNU team is unbelievable; you are made to feel like an individual and not just a number or just another student. That is very rare.
I thought I would only be able to support clients once my year [of studying] had finished, so I am unbelievably pleased to have the confidence to take on clients much sooner.
From having absolutely no knowledge in this area at all, I am now helping people to become healthier and happier and achieving goals way past their expectations.
This is all being done through the knowledge gained from MNU.
I loved how simple MNU made everything, in particular the maths equations. Maths has always been really tricky for me so I appreciated that it wasn't glossed over or assumed that everyone could already do it.
MNU has absolutely changed the way I run my business, the level of support and applicability to my career has been second to none, without MNU I'd still be a struggling online coach unable to pay my bills!
I launched my business during lockdown, with the help of MNU in regards to nutrition education AND business education I now have full books and some amazing client transformations.
I have spent thousands of pounds on business mentors but nothing compares to what I learnt in regards to business in MNU so thank you, the team at MNU has literally changed my life.
Mac-Nutrition Uni sets itself apart from other courses I have done.
The engagement throughout the course, the Student Group and weekly check-ins helped me stick to the course and not panic or feel overwhelmed at any point. I also felt it was easy to get in touch with the MNU Team directly with any queries or issues.
In terms of applicability to my business, it's honestly one of the first courses I have completed and felt I know exactly where to start and how to confidently work with various clients to apply the knowledge I have gained.
I loved learning about supplements and especially all the information about Vitamin D. I also enjoyed the live lectures on fat loss and muscle gain.
One of my favourite things about the course though was that every lecture was kept interesting by going off on tangents and throwing in some new insights.
I just want to thank everyone involved at MNU for creating this course and making it so enjoyable. From start to finish, it has been brilliant.
The level of student support and quality of learning environment on MNU was a million percent better than my degree.
MNU completely surpassed my expectations! I had everything I needed to fully learn what I actually needed to. The lectures were easy-to-watch and understand with a great mass of supporting literature and so much support & access to tutors and industry professionals within the Mentoring Lab.
I came away with such confidence and felt fully prepared to help people with their nutrition and achieve success with their goals.
As soon as I finished my exams I started working with 5 people. Everyone is losing weight and making great progress - I'm so proud of them!
Thank you so much to MNU for igniting my nutrition passion. I am super excited to pass on my nutrition knowledge to as many people as I can.
I have a Masters degree in pharmacy and I didn't receive the level of support and guidance in 5 years of university education that I did during MNU.
I have had a passion for nutrition for years but have never managed to find a group of like-minded people, until now! I love that feeling of community.
I loved how the course built on itself. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Without realising it, MNU has made me the best pharmacist in my area.
I always considered myself better than most in this area for advice but now my patients are getting world-class advice for free in store. People are talking about me locally as that pharmacist who is brilliant with supplement and dietary advice.
This has actually been great practice for me to use all my knowledge with no pressure before starting my business, my confidence has grown massively.
I did MNU and thrived in it later in my career, with babies, homeschooling, lockdown and work. MNU has made me stand taller, smile brighter and generally be the best and happiest version of myself.
I can't even compare MNU to other nutrition courses I have taken...it is in a league of its own!
I loved the structure of the weekly lectures and quizzes, the interaction and support provided by the student group and the delivery of the information.
Even though it was an online course it felt as though you were actually attending live lectures and were made to feel part of the "MNU Family".
With Martin's anecdotes, tangents and memes I found myself literally laughing out loud! This was especially welcome during the months of lockdown.
I anxiously awaited the PCOS lecture and it did not disappoint! I was really looking forward to finally being able to have evidence-based information on PCOS as well as practical things I could apply to my daily life. I cannot express how much more confidence MNU has given me on this subject, let alone how much better I feel too!
Mac-Nutrition Uni is well structured, informative, and well presented.
I am super impressed by the number of resources available - this included not only lecture content, quizzes, homework, and additional reading, but also the resources available through the Mentoring Lab.
All MNU resources are proving invaluable to me, as a career changer.
I really enjoyed the variety of learning opportunities - the differing lecturers kept things fresh on a week-by-week basis. I've really enjoyed feeling challenged by the content, but also the manner in which it is delivered.
Of particular interest to me were the lectures on the Ageing population and the Eating Disorder lectures.
The level of student support was second to none.
I received timely feedback with any email queries. The end of module 'Check-in Weeks' gave me the opportunity to clarify items of concern, immediately, and were also a valuable bonding opportunity with my student cohort.
The value and practicality of MNU far outweighed my university degree.
Every MNU lecture allowed me to immediately add value to my clientele as a personal trainer.
Martin's lectures are really enjoyable to listen to, every lecture was empowering. I feel like nothing was missed even on the business side of things, MNU has made me a really confident practitioner.
It would be great for other PTs to understand how valuable MNU is. It's not just a nutrition course, it teaches you how to think critically, reflective practice strategies, and puts you way ahead in an industry that I would unfortunately say is very confused when it comes to nutrition.
MNU should be the gold standard for PTs that do offer nutrition services, PTs need a certification to physically train people, MNU should be the certification to allow them to offer nutrition coaching.
Well, considering most PT's do a 2-day seminar and call themselves nutrition 'performance' coaches. MNU obviously blows that out of the water.
I have done different nutrition courses as well as a university degree and the other nutrition courses I did are not even comparable to MNU. They are essentially a show-up and pass.
There is a lot of guru info in some other nutrition courses that can be laughed at, from an evidence-based standpoint.
I have had several clients lose decent amounts of weight. 2 male clients losing 20kg's and several losing 10+kg.
One client who really struggled with adherence due to huge amounts of life stress and commitment, was able to obtain sub 100kg body weight, despite all his 'road blocks' using what I learned on MNU including low-hanging fruit and really focusing on habitual recommendations that could be adhered to.
I also promoted an online diet challenge on Instagram hoping for 10 sign-ups. Ended up getting 65 people signing up! I have a massive Facebook group that is really active, and MNU has given me a 'light at the end of the tunnel' to chase.
Martin and his staff LEGITIMATELY care about you and your success.
The lectures were great, Martin and the other presenters are REAL people with experience so they are great to learn from.
I loved the jokes and humour injected into the lectures, Martin has picked his team well.
After MNU, I've helped a client of mine that I've had for over a year to lose 80lbs.
The team respond quickly to emails and you can tell they actually care.
The Mac-Nutrition Uni course was unparalleled to all other nutrition courses I've looked into.
The community aspect of MNU is great as you always have others to ask and learn more from.
The content of the course is so applicable which far outweighs any other nutrition courses I have completed, including my degree.
The residentials were great, I made a great group of friends and we still stay in touch now.
One of the big things for me was overcoming imposter syndrome, I now have so much more confidence that I actually know what I am doing.
I have gained 1-2-1 clients and delivered paid workshops by mentioning that I am studying with MNU.
I honestly don't think I'd change anything about the course.
Content fully supported by science, taught with much higher applicability to real-life scenarios is why this is undoubtedly the number one nutrition course in the world!!
Making science real life and delivering an easily accessible course to a high standard has given me the confidence I have been missing to reach out and improve lives through the power of nutrition.
This is the first course I have done where I have had to run it alongside a full-time job and it has been an extremely encouraging and supportive experience.
The accessibility of the support options has, for me, exceeded all expectations!
MNU blows previous courses out of the water!
It helps you to be able to apply information to clients on a day-to-day basis.
My highlights were the nutritional myths lecture and the PCOS lecture.
I have a couple of clients who suffer from PCOS and being able to apply what I learned to help them was a game-changer.
We set expectations at the start of the process and built confidence and are now smashing the weight loss with newfound confidence which makes the whole job worthwhile.
The learning environment was good. The materials and the usefulness of the information were far superior to other courses I have done previously. I loved MNU!
I loved Martin's lectures on muscle building and debunking nutrition myths.
Due to my increasing knowledge of nutrition, even my co-workers have started to come to me for advice.
MNU was much more interactive than other courses I have done previously, through the use of the Student group and lectures. I felt more connected with the lecturers even though I did it all online.
The flexibility of the course along with its top-notch information is the best thing about MNU. Many other courses are so rigid that I wouldn't be able to participate at this point in my life.
The high level of support, additional resources, and communication with the staff were second-to-none!
I loved the practical application MNU offers rather than just nutritional theory, as well as the information on how to work with certain populations.
The student group and Mentoring Lab Facebook group were a great resource to see other practitioners' opinions and discussions.
Working as a personal trainer, this course has been invaluable in providing a higher quality service to my clients and improving my confidence in delivering nutritional information.
MNU is a top-class certification. It was a lot better than any other nutrition course that I've done in the past, not only with regards to the great content but also due to the unbelievable level of individual student support.
It has also been directly applicable to my career as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, I am now more confident in my nutritional knowledge and practice.
A highlight for me was learning how to be truly evidence-based and avoiding using personal biases and preferences with clients. I also enjoyed learning how to deal with a wide variety of clients and their different behaviours and conditions.
I was able to learn how to help my dad more with his Type 2 diabetes. I have given him some evidence-based recommendations that I learnt from the course that have helped him so far.
I also helped a PCOS client avoid a strict zero-carb diet that was recommended to her by her nutritionist, she was miserable about it and feared that eating any carbs would be detrimental to her, so that was great!
Overall MNU is a fantastic course. I am very pleased with the course content, and the way that Martin, Sarah & Billy delivered the course.
MNU offers incredible depth in theory, but it's also very practical!
This course motivated me to pursue my education as a coach and make a huge difference in my clients' health!
Having worked with two pregnant women the knowledge and confidence that I have gained has been incredible and has helped me to support them.
I was motivated to use the methods and principles I learnt and lost 20kg over the course of the last 12 months. I am inspired, motivated and proud! Words cannot express how I feel about MNU!
It was the most incredible learning experience! Mac-Nutrition Uni is the best nutrition course I have ever done!
I feel that I have acquired really detailed information and understanding over the last 12 months. When I listen to podcasts or read articles I am able to understand what they are saying or pick out the BS.
The support from the team was amazing and they answered all my questions in a timely manner and provided extra links to papers and different videos in the mentoring lab for more information which I found fantastic.
You can tell the MNU team love what they do, the passion and enthusiasm is evident and it felt like everyone wanted you to succeed.
The group of students this year was also incredible, a fantastic bunch of people and really supportive.
I would highly recommend MNU to anyone looking at a career in nutrition.

Mac-Nutrition Uni has been amazing!
As a career changer I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the course and struggle to get the work done whilst working, however, it has been the complete opposite!
The lectures are so well structured and easy to follow and are spaced out over the weeks to give you enough time to complete them.
There are so many added extras that are not compulsory but are so helpful and beneficial to further develop knowledge on a particular area of nutrition.
All of that, as well as brilliant communication, support and care, from the MNU team as well as hard work from myself, has meant that I feel well prepared and excited to take my exams and become an MNU Certified Nutritionist.
As one of the UK's leading Precision Nutrition Pro coaches, I cannot believe how much of a power-up taking MNU was.
MNU has given me the confidence, experience, and credibility to focus my attention on a specific audience.
I just helped one of my clients with Type 2 diabetes lose about 30kg in 3 months, I have reversed his diabetes and turned his life around!
The information provided was so detailed and actually explained nutritional concepts. Everything was backed by science which wasn't the case on other courses I have done.
I really enjoyed the Facebook LIVEs with Martin and the endurance lecture.
Since doing MNU I have picked up several clients that have lost weight and managed to achieve their goals. One of my clients has had such a great mentality change that it has moved her away from the slimming world mentality she had for over 10 years. For me that is better than any goals achieved in terms of body weight.
Without MNU I would never have been able to help her the way I have. Thank you so much as this has definitely been a life-changing course for me.
The student support group was amazing and I appreciated the lecturers emailing us to check with how we are getting on. Any queries were answered quickly and always so helpful.
My personal highlights were the guest lecturers, additional videos and Modules 3 & 5.
MNU has given me so much more confidence in my knowledge of nutrition. I can now understand why it is so well appreciated.
With no previous experience and purely enrolling out of interest, this course has encouraged me to further a career in helping people with their own nutrition journeys. The course was so well put together, particularly the revision and exam period.
Thank you to the MNU team for the course and all the hard work you have put into it, it has made me believe that anything you are passionate about should not be overlooked! I know MNU will continue to do so much more good!
Not only was I provided with theory on MNU, but also real-life applications and thought-provoking questions that challenged my previous biases to improve my all-round practice.
It also allowed me to start thinking for myself more around research, the evidence, and not just taking engrained beliefs in the industry as standard.
MNU has given me much more confidence in my understanding and equipped me to go away and find answers in a better and reliable way.
The MNU community gave me the opportunity to network with other like-minded individuals across a variety of industries.
MNU has 100% improved my communication skills with motivational interviewing to get the salient details from the top. This has translated into how confident and aligned my clients and myself are when embarking on a "journey" together.
The ability to educate and empower clients has spilled over into further referrals for new clients.
MNU has so much more applicability to real-life coaching compared to the mostly theoretical years I did in school.
I really enjoyed the personal experiences that connected all the theories together and made everything make sense.
MNU has been a blast, and I've learnt so many things I didn't learn in school, or actually learned wrong in school (wrong or outdated research)!
Teaching us to improve by thinking critically has been a lesson I will continue to improve on and learn from forever.
Mac-Nutrition Uni is by far the most educational and fun course that I have ever been part of and the team are always there to help.
MNU has made me question my practice more and look in to everything with an attention to detail!
I think that the course went into great detail in every lecture.
I would highly recommend MNU for anyone who wants to do an evidence-based nutrition course.
I enjoyed doing the homework as I learnt things that I never thought I could do with excel and word documents. I've struggled to use them in the past with my dyslexia.
MNU was an outstanding course - it was interesting, unbelievably user-friendly, entertaining & high quality.
The depth of knowledge I gained has given me so much confidence to serve my clients better.
I have already been able to help clients. For example, one client struggling with fertility had not been told that getting her BMI down, moving a little more & eating nutritious foods would help her IVF.
With my advice, she lost over 5kgs in the last six weeks, walks daily, and is on track to have an embryo implanted next week.
What really makes MNU a unique and special course is its applicability it has to your job and your career. It has allowed me to deliver much better quality nutrition consultations and achieve better results with my clients.
MNU opened up the opportunity to work as a sports nutrition coach in football teams.
Before the course, my nutrition level was based on some basic knowledge learnt during my Bachelor and Master degree in Sport Science. MNU showed me the nutrition world from another point of view
If you are willing to get the most from MNU, this course will teach you everything you need to know to work with any kind of clients and environment. I would really recommend it as a career investment.
The MNU student support was incredible. The Student Support Group offered access to a wealth of knowledge from current and previous students.
I really didn't expect the level of personalised feedback I got; the MNU team really cared about making us better practitioners and took the time to ensure this.
The lecture on endurance athletes was my highlight and probably the reason I enrolled in MNU.
I can't think of anything I'd change so I'm just going to say thanks again for offering such a comprehensive, practical, and evidence-based learning experience.
The information & content delivered in MNU was SO applicable & practical, and such a broad range of topics were covered.
The student support was excellent & the community among the other students via the Student Support Group was amazing.
MNU is hands down the best nutrition course out there, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
A personal highlight of mine was the lectures on Clinical Nutrition (diabetes & PCOS), muscle building & working with bodybuilders.
MNU far exceeds all other nutrition courses.
The specificity of the content, the level of support from tutors, and the community MNU builds are all outstanding.
The highlights for me were the Body comp residential, meeting like-minded people, the behavior change lectures, and believe it or not... the exam period! It feels good to get a little uncomfortable and challenge yourself.
MNU has changed my life! Not only has it provided me with the knowledge to make a difference in someone’s quality of life but it has also enabled me to build a business to support myself and my family.
I can’t thank the MNU team enough for creating such an amazing course!
Sign up. Absolutely the best possible decision that you could make. If you’re on the fence, don’t be.
Martin MacDonald and his team are so unbelievably knowledgeable, helpful, involved, dedicated, and committed – they really defy description.
My expectations have just been blown away. MNU is not a class – it’s a community.
What you will learn from MNU goes far beyond nutrition – business, ethics, random tidbits, sociology, you name it. Comprehensive is an understatement.
This is a game-changer for the industry… if you have the chance to be a part of it, take it!
There was much more relevant and practical information on MNU than on other courses I've done.
I really enjoyed the social support, responsiveness and how helpful all the staff were.
Being able to engage with people in the nutrition community in the Mentoring Lab and building my business alongside study has been awesome too.
MNU had a sheer wealth of knowledge and level of evidence-based practice.
It taught independent thinking and promoted such thought processes. MNU focused on things that matter in a real-world application, not just "follow the countries dietary guidelines with your clients and be sure to focus on all the food groups" kind of rubbish.
MNU was real science met with working with REAL people. That's rare from my experience.
MNU is an exceptional course with great feedback and content.
I have no doubt that my time and money were well invested.
Having access to the Mentoring Lab from the start exposed me to client situations and unique nutritional considerations.
The level of student interaction on MNU was very good compared to other courses I have done.
MNU is by far the most advanced course I have ever done!
After previously completing another nutrition course, I didn't feel overly confident in my knowledge, however, MNU answered all the remaining questions I had and helped me to build enough confidence to start practising.
I loved being able to learn from experts that are advocating evidence-based practice.
MNU has opened up my eyes to what being an evidence-based practitioner really means.
I never really had the confidence to give out nutrition advice as a personal trainer because there was always so much information out there and I didn't know what to believe to be true.
I'm 1000% more confident when giving my clients nutrition advice.
I am grateful that I now have the option to become a full-time nutritionist thanks to MNU.

Doing MNU has given me the confidence that I need to really help people, trust what I know, and really make a difference.
My knowledge has grown exponentially and I am finally starting to get over my imposter syndrome.
To anyone reading this who is considering doing MNU all I can say to you is, just do it!
It will be the best decision you could make for your development and your business. I wish I'd done it sooner.
The course content MNU provides is second to none and the residentials were an experience I wish everyone in the industry could have!

The level of support on MNU has been amazing and the learning environment really makes you feel part of a family!
I can’t recommend the course enough. I took so much away from the residentials, speaking with the MNU staff and fellow students who have both been a massive support to me and my business.
I have had much more success with personal training clients by picking some low hanging fruit throughout sessions; the biggest take home would be that I can help people understand energy balance and give them the tools to enjoy losing weight.
MNU was much more engaging and interesting than other courses I have done, as a result, my client success rate has increased!
My personal highlights were building my confidence, Martin's humour, and being able to provide a greater level of education to my clients.
My client base has increased just due to the fact that I have enrolled on MNU.
The MNU course was a really good learning experience, far better than the BSc or MSc I have completed before.
The learning platform was first-rate, and support from tutors when needed was ample and prompt.
The course content was well structured and allowed a complete newbie (me) to learn about nutrition in a step-wise manner.
I feel ready to start a new career based on what I have learnt, and I also feel supported in this via the Mentoring Lab and course tutors.
MNU was enlightening on many things, including my own well-being. I am now excited to work with my family on their journey.
If I ever had a question, it was always responded to in a timely manner and explained well. I also appreciate that the staff were empathetic and attentive to my needs when they arose.
I really enjoyed learning about energy balance.
Developing as a practitioner not just learning about nutrition, I feel MNU really helps you become a nutrition consultant so you can work with clients.
The Full with Honours course has developed me further in 12 months than my degree did in 3 years.
I was extremely happy with the course as a whole, I wouldn't change a single thing personally!
MNU provides more in depth content than other online courses I've done previously. The structure works really well providing accountability and support.
The residentials are a fabulous option to cement the information and meet others on your current course.
Being able to provide clients with good information and seeing them implement the changes for the better gives me pride in my job.
I don't know where to start... I have more than 30 certifications in the field of nutrition and all I can say is that doing MNU has been by far the best experience.
The way everything was formulated on MNU was not only easy to understand but also fascinating.
MNU is the epitome of putting science into practice, and I cannot thank the team enough for all the great content provided.

Mac-Nutrition Uni has definitely given me more confidence; I delivered a seminar to almost 50 people in my gym. Something I would not have been able to do if it were not for MNU.
The staff at MNU do everything they can to make the experience as good and valuable as possible. They really do go above and beyond.
I have no experience with other courses, but I doubt very much it is anything like this.
MNU was a very in-depth course and went to a level I didn’t expect it to, it is much more than just a nutrition course.
I’ve gained so much knowledge and confidence from MNU and I’m so excited to share it with the world.
I’m already dealing with clients online and it’s so satisfying helping them to reach their goals.
When needed, the support from staff was fast and thorough, despite the fact that it was an online course, I found it so easy to speak to a member of staff.
MNU is incredibly organized and well structured.
I really enjoyed the lectures on muscle gain and bodybuilding.
After MNU I have built a client base that I was struggling to do previously. MNU really helped me to create amazing content and grow my business!
Mac-Nutrition Uni has given me so much confidence to work with clients.
The team go above and beyond in order for you to succeed as an evidence-based practitioner.
I am actually sad that my course has ended as it has been thoroughly enjoyable, I wish I could receive weekly lectures forever!
You do not need to think twice about doing MNU, I believe it is the best nutrition course around - by far!
Mac-Nutrition Uni has taught me how to put theory into practice and develop critical thinking skills.
There is just so much learning and growing you can do at MNU.
It was a demanding course, but I am so glad I did it!
MNU has given me the confidence to continue with my business and career as a fitness and nutrition coach.

I found the format of MNU exceptional.
There was more support readily available than I had expected; I think it helps that other students are so supportive too.
The lectures were brilliant, the optional homework tasks and further readings were also always relevant.
The content of the course exceeded my expectations, I particularly enjoyed the three-part series on fat loss.
MNU was unbelievable! Everything was better than any course I have done.
The support was brilliant, the learn system works great and the exams were perfect!
Everything was top level, and very professional. I love that there was no useless material in the course. It all has a purpose and is exactly what we need to be able to work with a range of clients.
Having worked in the fitness industry as a personal trainer for over 17 years, my biggest regret is not doing MNU sooner! I have done many courses in the past, but nothing has come close to Mac-Nutrition Uni!
I have learned so much and I already feel my clients are benefiting greatly from my new knowledge, while I am definitely a lot more confident in making nutritional recommendations.
I genuinely can't wait to start offering nutritional services to my clients.
I have now done what feels like every mainstream nutrition course under the sun - Precision Nutrition 1, followed by Precision Nutrition 2 (both of which were provided by my work). I also completed the IOPN Diploma and have now just finished MNU.
Of all the courses I have done, I can definitively say MNU has been the standout course for me. Not only due to the sheer density of the content and quality of its presentation, but also because of the level of growth I have experienced not only as a practitioner, but on a human level as well.
Throughout this past year, I have been questioned and had every single one of my biases put under the microscope. Every single previous decision, whether for a client or myself, was put on a plate in front of me to examine and dissect. Whether I was proved right or wrong, every single time I have felt like I was moving “closer to enlightenment”.
From the lectures to the residentials, MNU has given me the kind of knowledge and skills I have been seeking for some time.
Not only do I feel more equipped than ever to go out on my own, but I also feel more confident to call myself a nutritionist because I feel the last 12 months with the MNU team and my classmates have helped me fill the gaping holes that were present in my own nutrition, relationship with food/training/others. For this, I am extremely grateful.

I recently completed a Level 5 Diploma with MNU & found it to be an exceptional experience that exceeded all of my expectations.
The course was easy to navigate & well-structured, with modules that were thoughtfully designed & progressed seamlessly from basic to advanced concepts.
Each module included a lecture, end-of-module quiz, homework, & downloadable resources, which helped me retain the information effectively.
The course also fostered a sense of community among my peers, with discussion forums that provided a platform for the exchange of experiences & ideas.
The instructors were knowledgeable & responsive, always available for clarification & guidance.
The recommended readings & supplementary materials were relevant & up-to-date, demonstrating a commitment to ensuring that participants were exposed to the most current & evidence-based information available.
Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking a transformative education in nutrition.

I feel that overall, the course provided me with so much insight into the nutritional knowledge to work with clients and build my confidence.
The weekend residentials and Module 4 really helped me as a career changer. The early modules of the course really do provide the foundation for the later modules and more advanced areas of nutrition.
I felt that the depth of detail in the early modules was invaluable as some of it was brand-new information to me.

I loved this course. It broke complicated science down into easily understandable chunks & was sensible.
The covering of the business side was also a real benefit, especially for someone starting out in coaching.
Although I am already self-employed, learning how to run a business online via MNU was very useful.
The Mentoring Lab is amazing.
Overall, I would 100% recommend the course to anyone & I look forward to putting the knowledge learnt into practice. :)
I completed a personal training course called Shredded by Science (2016), Online Trainer Academy (2018), & Precision Nutrition Level 1 (2020) prior to MNU.
Compared to the other courses listed above, MNU is double the cost but also double the challenge. I believe the more challenging a course is (with the right support) the more you get out of it. Upon passing the exams I have never been more proud of my accomplishment.
I believe that MNU instills a real sense of responsibility. This isn't a 'continuing ed' course - this is a skill-trade course as I see it. I am learning a specific set of skills from which I will practice & improve on as the years go on.
As Martin states, this is the last nutrition course you'll ever need to take. He's correct! I never got the sense in any other course that what I learned was so fundamental that I wouldn't forget it.

MNU was the most informative and thorough course I have ever taken.
I appreciated the additional reading and hand-outs associated with each weekly lecture topic, the weekly quizzes and the fact that the final exams had the real possibility of failing.
Despite being nervous about the exams (although they do an exceptional job of preparing you) I knew completing MNU would better me as a nutritionist.
Instagram: @Rich_Angstadt
I expected the course to be great as I had been following Martin for some time but MNU still managed to exceed my expectations.
MNU is straight to the point and the tutors are not only incredibly knowledgeable but always keen to teach us and answer questions.
I loved the anecdotes and Martin's humour in lectures, and the further reading and watching were really enjoyable too! Amazing!

MNU was a really well-rounded course.
My experience was extremely positive and I feel like I learned much more than I could have expected.
Mac-Nutrition Uni really teaches you what to pay attention to as well as the essential knowledge, unlike University where you are taught a lot of things you tend not to use in practice.
The content of MNU was amazing.
It was just what I needed to know for understanding nutrition in my business as a PT.
All of my clients trust my knowledge a lot more now that I've done MNU.
The amount of knowledge I learned through MNU was very useful and greatly applicable to my current business.
Learning about conditions like diabetes, obesity, IBS, and how to tailor nutrition guidance towards those areas was helpful.
I also enjoyed the research and references available to further my understanding.
MNU was a league above anything else I have done in terms of course content and support.
The residentials were a fantastic addition; not only did they help me to understand and consolidate my knowledge but they were a great way to network and meet some of the hugely different professions on the course.
MNU is delivered with a critical mindset from the onset and has helped me to see information in a new light.
The balance between evidence on both sides and how to practically apply this has given me the confidence to delve further into research and see better results with my clients.

At MNU, you're not just taught theory. The course covers the real-world application of knowledge and gives practical advice on the business aspects of being a nutritionist.
In my opinion, Mac-Nutrition Uni is the most complete nutrition course available for dealing with clients. The course covers everything from the basics of nutrition to dealing with specific clinical populations such as endurance athletes and PCOS clients.
Instagram: @MartinAllcock1
Mac-Nutrition Uni has given me the confidence to take on my first nutrition-only client before even finishing the course.
It’s also given me the confidence to charge more as the service that I can now provide for my clients is far greater.
Instagram: @KaiGormanTrainer
Mac-Nutrition Uni has increased my confidence in the nutrition space and given me direction for my coaching business.
MNU has provided me with all the educational tools I need to continue my learning and provide the best service to my clients.

MNU dives much deeper into population-specific nutrition than other nutrition courses I have done previously. I also enjoyed the LIVE lectures as other certifications did not offer this.
I enjoyed the cholesterol section as it's a topic that comes up often with clients.
To begin, I would like to thank Martin and the team for this journey and experience.
I managed to complete the prerequisite course and was accepted to join the MNU September 21' course. Any queries I had in the beginning getting started were met with genuine care and quick responses.
I do not come from an academic background, have never studied in my life and had no background in nutrition. I thoroughly enjoyed every lecture and the course layout was manageable, even for someone of my academic caliber.
I have been given a great foundation to build from going forward and feel confident with the skills instilled by MNU to use my mind, have curiosity, use good judgement and diagnose information.
I am excited to continue to study further in this field.

MNU is much better than the previous nutrition courses I have done.
Loved the easy practical nutrition content and the evidence provided to support it. I particularly enjoyed learning about practical supplementation for athletes and the general population.
Insane! MNU is probably the best nutrition course out there! I learned more on the course than in my Bachelor's in Dietetics!
MNU has been amazing.
I did another nutrition course during lockdown where at the end, although I had more knowledge, I would not have felt comfortable practising as a nutritionist.
I really feel this course has given me the confidence to work with people, to have the skills to develop my knowledge further, to know where to look for the right information, how to think critically and how to spot BS.
I am so excited to get started working with clients. I have been in talks with my current employer who are looking to expand out into offering nutrition services & improving the food and menus in our restaurants. This will include one-to-one consultations, group talks & working in conjunction with the restaurants. The world is my oyster!

Mac-Nutrition Uni has increased my knowledge by explaining the science behind methods and how to apply nutrition to a varied population from athletes, to the general population and special cases.
After MNU I feel very well educated on the subject of nutrition. I have completed Precision Nutrition 1 & 2, however, Mac-Nutrition Uni encourages the further pursuit of knowledge and provides additional online resources.
I have been a Sports Strength & Conditioning coach for nearly 20 years and I wish I had this knowledge sooner!
In my opinion, MNU should be a requirement for anyone who coaches sports & individual clients.
