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!

Maureen
Food Matters Institute Graduate

The best investment ever! I’m so grateful for the in depth course provided! I’ve learned so much since taking the course and I feel empowered by such knowledge. This course has changed how I view food, nutrition and my choices for longevity. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Fatima
Food Matters Institute Graduate

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 V
Food Matters Institute Graduate

I cannot thank you all enough for the assistance you have provided me and as a member of the founding graduates, I can attest the information in this program is literally life saving and life-changing. The value I have gained in the arsenal of knowledge and practical experience is far beyond anything I could have ever imagined and I am so very appreciative of your organization. I truly have no words to adequately express the true nature of my gratitude.

Rashelle
Food Matters Institute Graduate

What Our Students Are Saying

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.
Maureen
Maureen
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.
Lisa

[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).

“I have an old printed copy and have notes all over the place!”
– Carol W., Food Matters Student

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...

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!!

Elcy - Minnesota, USA

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.

Anita S - Toronto, CA

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.

Adina - Motueka, New Zealand

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,
James & Laurentine

James and Laurentine

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 Course 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

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 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.

Christy

Thanks so much for developing and offering this Certification Course. 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

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.

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.

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.
