Food is Medicine
but there is NO “one-size-fits-all” Diet
Individuals have SPECIFIC DIETARY NEEDS,
based on their Unique Biochemistry, Health History, and Genetics
Customizing Diet and Nutrition is Essential

After 14 years championing individualized diets and nutrition for autism (nourishing hope), Julie Matthews launched the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute – and it’s been a great success.
Her BioIndividual Nutrition training program teaches the science and strategic application of individualized diet and nutrition; where clinician, patient, and technology work together to improve clinical outcomes and success.
More than 300 doctors, nutritionists, and other professionals have taken our training and are incorporating BioIndividual Nutrition in their practice. Now, the course is available to parents who can benefit from this advanced learning and capability.

Praise from a Nourishing Hope Mom
“As an overwhelmed autism mom staring at a long list of food allergies and underlying medical issues for my son, Julie Matthews was an invaluable resource to me and my family. As my knowledge and understanding grew about the foods we feed our families and the impact biochemically, so did my family’s wellness. But, it wasn’t just about diet, it was what would help MY child based on his particular challenges and individual needs. My son is 11 and recovered from autism, so now it is time to take it a step further and go even deeper in my own knowledge and to give back to others wanting to support the health of themselves and their families.
I look forward to delving even more into bio-individual nutrition through Julie’s new program and to look at the various opportunities to grow my own skills and share this passion with others in more effective ways. What an empowering way to take our journey and help others heal their children, themselves and their families and to continue to nourish hope.”
– Terri Hirning, Nourishing Hope Mom Group Leader

Our MOMs Study Group
It takes a team to help families with autism and other special needs, because great collaboration is required to shift the paradigm about the usefulness of diet and nutrition approaches. I’m very proud to include mothers in the Institute. Who better than moms (and dads) with personal experience to help families in need?
I have met mothers around the world with tremendous experience helping their own children heal and recover – they are often compelled to share their knowledge with families in their community. Some moms go back to school and become nutrition practitioners or educators, give talks about their experience, and/or coach others to clean up cupboards, read food labels, help with food/menu ideas, and give shopping tours.
Nourishing Hope Moms are parents actively following any therapeutic diet for their kid(s). They’ve been there, they know it’s tough at times, that it’s not inexpensive, that most people around you don’t understand. But they also know that it’s always worth it, that food and nutrition DO matter greatly to the health and well being of their children. Nourishing Hope Moms are great advocates and support for autism families.
Advanced Nutrition Training is now available for Nourishing Hope Moms, along with our specialized study group for peer support and learning, for moms that really want to know how these diets work, and how to help others make the most of diet and nutrition approaches. It’s also for those taking their own diet and nutrition journey much deeper than the application of just a couple of diets, or dietary distinctions.
