Success Stories
From Our Community
Real People. Real Results.
From reversing autoimmune conditions to building new careers in health — here's what's possible when food becomes your medicine.
It helped me save my life, and my husband's life on more than one occasion — and helped me instill seeds of knowledge into my children.Rashelle
I was able to put my autoimmune disorder into remission without meds — solely through nutrition. Now my goal is to create a nutritional guide for others in the same situation.Rebekah
I'm 59 and have had rheumatoid arthritis since my 20s, along with a slew of other autoimmune issues. I'm on a mission to be healthier at 60 than I was at 40.Susan
I'm 57 and feel better than I did at 27. I took the program because I had gut issues and Dr. Google was just confusing me. What I got was tools to heal my belly for good.Anita
My daughter was suffering from major anxiety attacks and couldn't go to school. After integrating omega-3 she hasn't had an attack since. Food is amazing.Catherine
I thought I was doing everything right — clean eating, lifestyle changes — but I still felt stuck, struggling with unresolved health issues. This showed me the missing pieces, and how to actually move forward with healing.Megon
My background's in health and fitness, and this took my knowledge to the next level. It reignited a coaching business I'd put on the back burner.Maureen
I was trying to start another business when it hit me — why am I not following my passion? I finished the certification and now I'm building my own health business.Lisa
When I finished I took a week of annual leave just to keep going — I couldn't get enough of it. I've now started my own business sharing recipes and wellbeing tips.Monica

Our Story
Founded in 2008
We didn't set out to build a health brand.
We set out to save a life.
Hi, we're James Colquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch, the founders of Food Matters.
Our story began when James' father fell seriously ill and conventional medicine had no answers. So we went looking for them ourselves — and what we discovered about the power of food and nutrition to heal the body became the foundation of everything we've built since.
We started with films. Food Matters sparked a global conversation, followed by Hungry for Change, Transcendence, and more. But filmmaking was always just the vehicle — education was always the mission.
Today, Food Matters offers in-depth courses and programs focused on chronic illness, hormones, stress, sleep, and nutrition — supported by a global community of people on the same path.
If you're ready to stop guessing and start feeling like yourself again, you're in the right place.
