Are You Ready to Take the Next Step
Towards Better Health & Helping Others Do the Same?

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.

Here's What Changes With Real Nutrition Knowledge

One of our happy graduates showing their Food Matters Institute Nutrition Certification

You’ll know exactly how to:

  • Use your Food Matters Nutrition Certification to help others and create real impact.
  • Know exactly which foods heal, nourish, and protect your body — and how to guide others to do the same.
  • Apply food as medicine in your everyday life, not just in theory.
  • Understand why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition — and how to find what works for your body.
  • Build the tools to handle future health challenges with confidence.
  • Start your own health and wellness practice — with IICT membership and insurance from day one.

My background is in health and fitness and this program really took my knowledge to the next level. I loved that it was self paced and I could work on it as my time permitted. Sometimes that was ALL DAY because I couldn't tear myself away!

Monica
Monica
When I completed this course I was working full time - I loved it so much I took a week of annual leave to complete the program - I just couldn’t get enough of it! I’ve now started a business sharing delicious gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free recipes and wholesome, wellbeing tips online. I have future plans to have an e-book, a reset program and hopefully in the future 1:1 consulting.

My background is in health and fitness and this course really took my knowledge to the next level. I loved that it was self paced and I could work on it as my time permitted. Sometimes that was ALL DAY because I couldn’t tear myself away! I have a health coaching business that I had put on a back burner and this has sparked the fire in me once again to resume. The main focus of my business is teaching young adults with developmental disabilities how to cook healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to start helping others improve their health.

[Since completing the program], I am very enthused about sharing much of the knowledge & info, first with family & friends, & then with as many others as I can. It's a thrill to be able to enlighten other people during their life's journey to feel better, look better, function better, & live longer (in most cases).

Your Transformation Starts Here

“
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.

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.

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.

A friend recommended this course, and I jumped on board. I feel this program suits me as I could complete it in my own time, and it complimented what I was already doing and helping people to better health, and it would give me more credibility and knowledge.

If you are considering doing the course, my suggestion is investing in yourself.

You just don't know how many others you may help or just to reboot or reset your own health.

I have read many different diet philosophy books over the years and have always been interested in healing and creating balance by the most natural means possible.

I achieved my certification on May 24, 2023. Since then, I have enjoyed adding more nutritional variety to my meals, spreading the word to others who are interested, and using opportunities to write about nutrition.

And my learning continues...

I decided the best gift I could give myself was doing this course...

My health journey started after having IBS most of my life and going in all directions to "fix it." Now perimenopausal, the symptoms I had learned to live with got worse, so I decided the best gift I could give myself was doing this course....already seeing massive improvements with the changes I have made so I am achieving my goal.

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 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,

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...

For anyone thinking about this but feeling hesitant, I took the leap last November and joined the first ever class.

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.

After losing my job during the pandemic, I took the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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:

  • Internationally Accredited Certificate in Nutrition (with access to insurance and industry membership)
  • Food Matters Certified Nutrition Coach badge

Yes. You’ll graduate with real, globally recognized credentials:

  • IICT: Qualify for membership and insurance as a Nutrition Consultant in 35+ countries including the USA, Australia, Canada, and UK
  • NBHWC: Approved for 32 continuing education credits (code CEA-000477-1)
  • IARC: Food Matters Institute is recognized for quality excellence in education

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.
