Are You Ready to Take The Next Step
Towards a Healthier YOU & Help Others Do the Same?
Studying nutrition changed my life. It helped me cut through the confusion of paleo, veganism, plant-based, intermittent fasting, and more to experience lasting energy, vitality, and improved immunity.
It gave me the tools and knowledge to help heal my father, successfully getting him off six medications, losing over 50lbs, and completely recovering his life and health. Being a part of this transformation also gave me the inspiration and confidence to start Food Matters.
Unfortunately, we aren't taught about real nutrition in school. We have a medical profession that is rarely trained to use food as medicine, and the multi-billion dollar fast-food and pharmaceutical industries thrive on misleading consumers.

Here's What Our Students Have to Say
You can't put a price on health, and there is nothing more empowering than having the knowledge to be able to help yourself and your loved ones if the need arises.
Michelle Pedula - Ontario, Canada
Founder of Harvest & Wellness
Taking the course changed my life in so many ways. In the past, I was always confused about what
to eat or not to eat. I never understood what was healthy and what wasn't healthy and why. The
wellness world can be a very confusing place. Thanks to the course I now have healthier habits
in my own personal life.
Every module of the course contains so much knowledge laid out in a very easy-to-follow program.
Plus, you get to be part of a wonderful community of other students and graduates on the same
journey. The course is an investment and it pays itself back with fewer sick days and medicine
you would be buying. That is what happened to me, I rarely ever get sick now from applying
everything I learned in the course, and I am the healthiest I've ever been.
Understanding the fundamentals of wholesome nutrition, superfoods, gut health, hormones, detoxing, and how to heal with food has given me the confidence to support my clients on their journey to better wellbeing.
Bec Russell - Queensland, Australia
Wellbeing Mentor, Yoga Teacher & Writer
I have been following Food Matters for years, soaking up all of their wisdom to integrate into my own life and wellness routines. Having already completed studies in life coaching, yoga, pilates, personal training, and reiki. I was looking to add an extra tool to my tool belt. When I was searching for a program to study, I knew I could trust and gain so much value from studying with Food Matters. Learning from some of the world's greatest wellness experts has had a great impact on both my own wellbeing and my businesses.
Not only do I now know what to eat, when to eat, and where to source the food from, but I also know how to eat with more flexibility.
Nancy Timmins - Ontario, Canada
Founder of Follow the Jade Rabbit- Health & Fitness Coaching
I wanted to learn more about food and nutrition for healing, detoxification, to learn how to better serve clients' needs, and to hear from this panel of experts and researchers first-hand. Not only do I now know what to eat, when to eat, and where to source the food from, but I also know how to eat with more flexibility. I am even more mindful of my daily decisions when it comes to our environment and what we expose ourselves to whether that be food, products that we apply to our skin, electromagnetic fields, herbs & spices, and superfoods.

WE'RE COMMITTED TO HELPING YOU HELP YOURSELF. WE BELIEVE THAT YOUR BODY IS WORTHY OF GOOD CARE AND THAT NO ONE IS MORE SUITABLY QUALIFIED TO CARE FOR IT THAN YOURSELF.
We created the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program from the growing need for people to heal themselves (or a loved one) naturally.
We've spent the last 15 years studying nutrition and interviewing experts in food, natural medicine, and mind-body therapies to uncover what's transforming lives today. We helped my father heal from depression chronic fatigue and come off six prescription medicines with this information, and it's only becoming more powerful. The method of healing and good health hasn't changed.
We believe that everyone deserves the right to good health, prosperity, and happiness. We're just making it a little bit easier for you to access.
We can't wait to welcome you to the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program.
In good health,

Founders of Food Matters and The Food Matters Institute
One of the most beneficial courses I have ever completed. The knowledge I have gained is life changing. I know it's never too late but I wish I had known all of this years ago.
Lisa
I understand my body in ways I can’t explain. This course is one of the best decision of my life.
Sabiya
I’ve gained knowledge & confidence to go beyond educating my clients. I’m excited about a steady stream of income by helping people.
Mike
The Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program Is an opportunity to empower your life and assist others.
Karen
When I started the Program, I was doing so to heal my own chronic illness. I was blown away by the amount of information that was provided and have discovered so many ways to improve my health. One thing that has surprised me the most is where my studies have taken me! I have used the knowledge I have gained to create Chronic Illness Healing Workbooks for mental and physical health, and I hope to help and inspire others struggling with their health to make changes and see improvements.
Sarah
I studied medicine in the 1980s and took 36 courses until I graduated, but none of it was about nutrition. It was not by chance but by purpose. As we know, often behind governments (including universities and medical schools) are the big pharmaceutical companies trying to promote their poisons. I got invaluable knowledge from this course, much of which I assimilated immediately... It helped me reinforce the knowledge I already had and also added some extremely important new information so that I could heal myself and my loved ones with natural methods. The study does not stop here. In fact, now it begins...
Anastacia
For anyone thinking about this but feeling hesitant, I took the leap last November and joined the first ever class. Next to being a mother, this is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life (and I have a fulfilling life!) But the Food Matters Nutrition Coach journey is OUTSTANDING and we learn so much, all the time. I rave about this program to everyone I meet.
Karon
To the Food Matters Team and especially Laurentine and James - thank you for making this program possible! I’ve learned so much and will continue to explore all the additional resources within each module. I loved every minute! Now onto the Bonus Module. ? ?
Caren Huck
When I started the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program, I was doing so to heal my own chronic illness. I was blown away with the amount of information that was provided and have discovered so many ways to improve my health. I love the printed workbook and find studying from reading very helpful. One thing that has surprised me the most is where my studies have taken me! I have used the knowledge I have gained to create Chronic Illness Healing Workbooks, for mental and physical health. I hope to help and inspire others struggling with their health to make changes and see improvements. I’m so grateful I decided to take the course and highly recommend it to everyone!
Sarah
I loved every minute of the training, and am grateful for the support of the Food Matters tribe: the awesome, responsive staff, and the savvy, passionate students. The experience was like a fire hose of information, so I'm really happy that all of the course materials are available for me to go back and review again and again. All of the Resources at the end of each module are also really helpful. I'm eager now to jump into the Bonuses and learn how to parlay my newfound knowledge into a business so I can help others live their healthiest, most vibrant lives possible. Thank you!!!
Kasia
I'm so pleased to have participated in, and finished this wonderful course! It took a bit longer than I initially planned, however as I began each module it seemed very timely with family members' health issues. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing what I learned and hope/plan to do more of this in the future. Thank you so much! With appreciation to everyone involved in the Food Matters Program.
Janelle
After losing my job during the pandemic, I took the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program to transition to a new career by following my passion in helping mums create better health for their family. In your program, you not only provided your students with the education, but you’ve also provided us with the community and a way to get paid through your referral program. It feels amazing (yet surreal) to share what I love, make an impact and get paid. Thank you so much James, Laurentine and everyone at the Food Matters Team, you’ve changed my life. I love this program so much that I would share it with everyone I know.
Christy
Thanks so much for developing and offering this Certification Program. It has been one of the best learning experiences that I have ever had. I’m putting this information into practice on myself and will see where my journey takes me. The Food Matters team is committed to excellence and has developed the most fantastic natural healing program I’ve seen to date. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to more magnificence from Food Matters!
Kim
I am thrilled to see my name on the certificate! This has been such a rewarding experience and a game changer! I am excited to apply this knowledge in my daily life. Some of it I have already started like participating in the gluten free challenge (feeling great about that too). I recommend this course to everyone who follows Food Matters! Thank you to the FM team! I absolutely love you guys.
Sabiya
I'm so excited of completing the program and getting the certificate! Thank you soooo much Food Matters Institute for providing such a huge amount of useful information and for giving us a chance in this field! Next step: to apply for the membership and insurance and start working as a nutritional coach!

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to complete the course?
The course is made up of ten modules and we recommend dedicating approximately 5 hours to completing each module, making the course easy to complete in 12 weeks. Because the course is 100% online and accessible 24/7 with no lecture commitments, you can start when you're ready, and complete it around your own schedule or downtime after work.
Is the course accredited?
The Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course is an approved health & wellness coach training program for continuing education of National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWCs). Qualifying graduates can receive 32 CE/CPD credits through NBHWC. It is recognized by the International Approval and Registration Centre (IARC), and is an approved training provider with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). This means our graduates qualify for membership and insurance through IICT under the Nutrition Consultant modality.
What are continuing education credits?
Health coaches belonging to the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC) are encouraged to review, advance, and enhance professional knowledge, practice, and skills by gaining Continuing Education Credits (CE credits) from third-party programs and courses. This means that if you are a health coach under the NBHWC you will be eligible to receive CE credits upon completion of the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program [CEA-000477-1].
What diet philosophy is taught inside the course?
The content within this course doesn't adhere to any one specific diet or way of eating, and this is because we believe in bio-individuality and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition and health. The course emphasizes consuming a primarily plant-based diet because there is strong evidence for the benefits of consuming a large variety of plant-based foods. There is content discussing how to ethically include quality animal products in your diet for those who choose to (or for those who find themselves coaching clients who choose to).
Ultimately we focus on giving students a deep understanding of the foundations required for optimal health and nutrition and the science behind food, nutrition, and many of the key systems in the body. We believe that once you have this foundational knowledge, it's much easier to interpret and implement information on health and nutrition!
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. The Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course is designed to be completed at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home. You have lifetime access to the course, so you can jump into each lesson when you're ready.
What is a Food Matters Certified Coach?
A Food Matters Certified Coach is a consultant who coaches in nutrition and has a deep knowledge of basic nutrition principles and the skills required to provide nutrition guidance to their clients.

Generally, Coaches in Nutrition do not require a state license to practice and can be certified through private credentialing bodies such as Food Matters. However, it is recommended that you check with licensing authorities in your country and locality before offering any service to the public. The Food Matters Nutrition Certification Program is designed to provide in-depth knowledge and understanding of nutrition, natural healing, and the mind-body connection. You will earn a certificate of completion when graduating our program, confirming that you have completed our program. Our program does not make you a state-registered dietician or licensed nutritionist. To determine applicable licensing requirements, you will need to check with state and local agencies where you conduct your business and where your clients reside.
