Welcome to Not Another Nutrition Podcast!
This is not just another nutrition and fitness podcast; I will be discussing a wide variety of topics including business, careers, parenting and self-improvement, alongside plenty of discussion on a range of nutrition topics!
I try to communicate in such a way that is easy for anyone to understand, and with more of a 'coffee shop chat' vibe than a lecture so don't expect it to be academic fact after fact!! You can also reach out to me on social media via @MartinNutrition and I keep most of my important links here: www.Martin-MacDonald.com/links

Customer Reviews
I always smile when listening to Martin
On top of his massive knowledge and good communications skills, Martin is so hilarious and honest and down to earth. I love his sense of humour, I love when he talks to Alexa, I love when he gets so excited about a topic and he wonders out on a tangent. I love when he berates the scammers, I love his super ego (don’t mean it in a pejorative way).
Very entertaining podcast where you get great honest scientic-based peer-reviewed insights.
A good lighthearted podcast that tackles serious issues
Love this podcast! 🙏🏻
Martin is a true genius who knows what he is talking about, and knows how to explain it so you can understand it.
He has tackled issues that hit home with me personally and I cannot recommend this podcast enough!.
