If you’ve felt overwhelmed jumping between diets, supplements, and advice that never sticks — you’re not alone.
Maybe you’re tired of feeling fatigued, confused about what your body really needs, or wishing you had the knowledge to help yourself and the people you care about.
The truth is, most of us were never taught real nutrition. Our healthcare system rarely treats food as medicine, while the food and pharmaceutical industries profit from our confusion.
Studying nutrition changed that for me. It cleared the confusion, restored my energy — and gave me the knowledge to help my father come off six medications and lose over 50 pounds.
That’s what this certification is built on — real nutrition science, food as medicine, and the practical tools to understand your body and help others do the same.
It’s time to take our power back.

This program is just what I needed to build my knowledge and confidence for starting my online business in the health and wellness space. The curriculum is so well designed and the content is amazing! Thank you Food Matters Institute for the life-changing education!!
I have a clean and green online beauty and wellness business, and soon I'll be a published author with my first book… I have more knowledge and tools to serve my customers.
We created the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course from the growing need for people to heal themselves (or a loved one) naturally.
We’ve spent almost two decades 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 Course.
In good health,
James Colquhoun & Laurentine ten Bosch

Immediately. As soon as you enrol, everything is unlocked and ready to go.
The program has 10 modules. At around 5 hours per module, you can easily complete the entire program in under 6 months - studying on weekends, after work, or whenever suits you.
You can also choose guided study emails over 3, 6, or 12 months to help you stay on track.
No - and that's intentional. The Food Matters Nutrition Certification is built on the principle of bio-individuality: the understanding that no single diet works for every body, every life stage, or every goal.
You'll explore a wide range of dietary approaches - plant-based, paleo, keto, raw foods, pescatarian and more - learning the science and strengths behind each. The program leans toward a predominantly plant-based foundation, because the evidence for eating a wide variety of whole plant foods is compelling. But you'll also learn how to ethically incorporate quality animal products, which matters when you're supporting clients with different values and needs.
What you'll walk away with isn't a rigid food philosophy. It's the foundational knowledge to understand why different approaches work, when to apply them, and how to guide yourself or others toward what works right now - because that changes throughout life.
Yes. Most people who join want answers, not a career change. If you’re tired of conflicting advice and want to finally understand your body and your family's health, this was built for you.
This builds understanding progressively - no extremes, no fear-based rules. Most students describe it as the first time nutrition has actually clicked.
Yes. The curriculum covers gut health, the gut-brain axis, hormones, inflammation, food labelling and much more - taught by qualified practitioners and grounded in evidence-based research.
Not at all. You’ll learn how to reduce inflammation at home, support your children's health through food, and navigate your own hormones, practically and without overwhelm.
Yes. Complete the lessons and score 80% or higher on each quiz, and you’ll earn:
Yes. You’ll graduate with real, globally recognized credentials:
You’ll be equipped to work as a nutrition coach or consultant, offering 1:1 coaching, group programs, workshops, or digital products. Many graduates integrate their credentials into existing roles in fitness, allied health, or content creation. You’ll also have the practical tools to attract clients and build a business doing what you love.
No - and we want to be upfront about that. This program qualifies you to work as a nutrition coach or wellness professional. It does not make you a state-registered dietitian or licensed nutritionist. We recommend checking local licensing requirements before offering services professionally.
Many of our most successful students are in their 40s, 50s, and beyond. Life experience makes the learning richer - and the purpose behind it even stronger.
Many of our graduates came from corporate careers or years of full-time parenting and built thriving practices from this foundation. You don’t need a health background - you need curiosity, lived experience, and the willingness to learn.
Ongoing live chat, email, and text support throughout your studies. You’ll also start with a 1:1 kickoff call with course founder Laurentine. Support continues after you graduate, and you get lifetime access to all future updates.
Just a computer or tablet, a reliable internet connection, and a standard web browser. All templates are provided in accessible formats - nothing complicated.
Yes. Choose a monthly payment plan or a one-time payment - see pricing on this page. All major cards and PayPal are accepted. Your access is instant regardless of which option you choose.
We offer a money-back guarantee. If within 14 days it’s not the right fit, contact our team and we’ll refund you in full. No questions asked.
Live chat with us directly on this page, contact us or book a call with the course founder. We’re real people who want to help you make the right decision.
