Congratulations to all of the fantastic Optimisers who participated in our last Nutritional Optimisation Masterclass!
A record 532 Optimisers walked away as winners after learning how to dial in their macronutrients and micronutrients over six weeks. We wanted to say a big congrats and share some of their phenomenal results!
Improvement in Diet Quality Score
We were thrilled to see so many people improving their Optimal Nutrient Intake Score –this is where the magic happens! Congratulations to all the Optimisers who made such a massive improvement in their diet quality in just six weeks! We get the biggest thrill from seeing the newbies follow the numbers to optimise their food choices and improve their nutrient density.

Optimising health and well-being starts with WHAT you eat. Your body needs enough of all the essential nutrients without excess energy. We quantify this in terms of nutrient density.
There is plenty of confusion regarding whether macronutrients like carbs, fats, or proteins are “good” or “bad.” But Instead of focusing on what not to eat, we always find everything falls into place when people focus on getting the nutrients they need from food.
Not everyone needs to reach an Optimal Nutrient Intake (ONI) Score of 100%. The chart below shows four years of data from the 125,761 days of food logs entered by 32,192 people who have used Nutrient Optimiser. Only 4% of people are able to get a score above 90%!
The good news, though, is that everyone makes progress when they make incremental improvements by increasing the intake of foods and meals that provide more of the nutrients they are currently not getting enough of. Then, as they stretch towards optimal a little more, satiety kicks in, and they lose weight with less hunger. Optimisers who achieve a higher Diet Quality Score consume 40% fewer calories.

Changes in Waistline
Your waist-to-height ratio is perhaps the most powerful marker of metabolic health! Our Optimisers also saw some dramatic changes in their waist measurements.

Changes in Blood Glucose
Your blood glucose is another excellent measure of your metabolic health.
While we don’t focus on blood glucose in the Nutritional Optimisation Masterclass as much as in our Data-Driven Fasting Challenges. However, people still tend to see significant improvements in their blood glucose during the Masterclass.

Fat Loss
Your body doesn’t care about your dietary beliefs or preferences; it just needs enough nutrients. So it shouldn’t be surprising that the body is happy to release the fat it is preemptively storing for emergency use with an adequate supply of protein and other essential nutrients.
A crappy environment of processed foods, low in essential micronutrients signals a famine, so the body goes into fat storage mode. But once your body understands that it is safe and plenty of good food is available, it also realises it no longer requires all that excess body fat.

Maximum Diet Quality
Finally, we come to the Diet Quality Score, which is our measurement of nutrient density. Remember, only 4% of people manage to get above 90 and these amazing results generally happen towards the end of the masterclass.

The End of an Era and a New Beginning…
Finally, some exciting news! After three years and thousands of people doing our Nutritional Optimisation Masterclass, it’s time for something new.
To make it even simpler for more people to optimise their nutrition, we’ve broken the Masterclass into two separate courses in 2022:
You can see our full events schedule in our new course platform here.

We’d love you to join us to take your nutrition to the next level!
