Learn How to Heal Yourself & Others Using Nutrition

World-class nutrition training helping you to transform lives, including your own.

“I started my own business coaching in nutrition a month after completing my certification. I absolutely love my new role and have found my calling.”

— Kim, Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course Graduate

“Besides the wealth of information, Food Matters gives you so many free bonuses on so many different topics - it is the most complete course, and I reviewed many!”

— Laureen, Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course Graduate

“The course was informative, fun, easy to navigate, and the support was phenomenal.”

— Melisa, Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course Graduate

“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 Nutrition Certification Course Graduate

Are You Ready to Take The Next Step towards a Healthier You & Help Others Do the Same?

Studying nutrition changed my life.ᅠIt 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,ᅠwe 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.

Now it's time to take our power back!

James Colquhoun
Chief Executive Officer of Gaia and Co-Founder of Food Matters and The Food Matters Institute

Are You Tired of Feeling Like This?

  • You're overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting ‘evidence' online on the best diet for you.
  • You're spending lots of time and money on special appointments, and the latest health trends and supplements, only to find you're still fatigued and stressed.
  • You've got no option but to live with an illness because you've tried everything out there and still find yourself unwell and unhappy.
  • You don't have the credibility to be taken seriously by friends and family when it comes to health and wellness.
  • You're stuck in a job you hate and should be working on a career you love.
  • You can't use your passion for nutrition to reach your full potential.


This is why we created the Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course. To alleviate the overwhelm and hours spent seeking support, to help you transform your health and life, and to help others do the same.

The Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course Is for You If:

  • You want to improve your health and help others do the same.
  • You're looking for solutions to digestive issues, hormone issues, inflammation, low immunity, or a chronic illness.
  • You want to learn practical solutions on how food plays a key role in gut health, weight, mood, energy levels, sleep, and more.
  • You want to learn from the world's leading health experts on how food plays a key role in mood, energy levels, gut health, sleep, and more.
  • You want to formalize your knowledge to feel confident in sharing this life-saving message by creating an online movement, recipe book, podcast, healthy cafe, or more.
  • You're a health coach or medical professional looking to deepen your knowledge, grow your client base, gain membership and insurance to an industry body, and expand your career (you've studied elsewhere and are looking for more answers).
  • You've been thinking about studying nutrition and want an in-depth course to further understand the field and your opportunities.

“I took the program because I had a lot of gut issues and “Dr. Google” was just confusing me. What I got was education in overall health and wellbeing, tools to heal my belly for good, and so much more. I'm 57 and feel better than I did at 27.”

— Anita, Food Matters Nutrition Certification Course Graduate

“I have been in the food industry for the last 20 years.

One of the reasons that led me to this course was the health of my children and how to help them take their vitamins, mineral nutrients, etc. This course guided me to that, thank you!”

— Aaron, Certified Food Matters Nutrition Coach

“I am so excited to continue learning and growing and want to share that knowledge with others.

I developed a passion for wellness and nutrition after being diagnosed with a chronic illness several years ago. I also have seizures due to a traumatic brain injury.  Being able to put into practice what I have been learning has totally changed my life.”

— Joy, Gahanna, Ohio

“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

“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.”

Here's What Our Students Have to Say

Sarah

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.

★★★★★
Anastacia

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...

★★★★★
Karon

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.

★★★★★
Caron Huck

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!

★★★★★
Kasia

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!!!

★★★★★
Janelle

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.

★★★★★
Christy

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.

★★★★★
Kim

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!

The method of healing and good health hasn't changed.
