Mac-Nutrition was founded in 2008 by Martin MacDonald (www.Martin-Macdonald.com). Initially a small nutrition consultancy delivering high-end performance nutrition services, over time it grew into a nationally known consultancy with a highly sought after, year-long, internship program, providing innovative and expert advice on optimal health, clinical issues, weight loss, sports performance and workplace wellness.
In 2012, the Mac-Nutrition weekend Mentorship began and quickly became a ‘must do’ Mentorship for health and fitness professionals at all stages of their career. Many industry-leading names and educators travelled from all over the world to attend this intimate weekend of Mentoring.
In 2016, Mac-Nutrition Uni (MNU, www.Mac-NutritionUni.com) was born. Initially, this was designed with the aim of improving the standard of nutrition education in the UK. However, as the world’s first-ever 13-month, online nutrition course, along with global recognition from respected industry experts, academics and professionals, it has been able to provide evidence-based education to students in over 80 countries on 6 continents around the world. MNU Certified Nutritionists soon became the gold standard of nutrition practitioners in the health, wellness & fitness industry, working with clients face-to-face and online globally!
Alongside MNU, The Mac-Nutrition Mentoring Lab (www.Mac-NutritionMentoringlab.com) was born: A continuing professional development platform, supporting the knowledge, practice and businesses of those in the health and fitness industry. Saving them time, and making them more money doing the job they love!
In 2023, MNU became the world’s first ever Level 5 Diploma in Advanced Nutrition Science, listed on the Register for Government Regulated Qualifications. This government recognition as a Level 5 Diploma provides even more global visibility for MNU Certified Nutritionists by allowing better understanding from international academic institutions & employers.
Mac-Nutrition has now grown into a syndicate of companies working to promote & further true evidence-based nutrition, through Education, Mentoring & Consultancy. Namely, The Mac-Nutrition Collective.
