Helpful for teens and adults too…
The diet and nutrition principles in this program support adults and individuals of any age that are supporting autism and ADHD… as well as most neurological conditions. In this program, diet and nutrition intervention aims to balance and heal underlying contributing factors; so these principles and practices apply also to adults with similar underlying needs. It’s common that parents report their own benefits from following what they learn in the program too.
I’m here to help you…
I’m Julie Matthews, a Certified Nutrition with a master’s degree in medical nutrition, and Published Researcher specializing in autism, ADHD, and related disorders for 20 years. I teach parents and health practitioners around the world to be effective at using personalized (bioindividual) nutrition and therapeutic diets to help children heal and improve symptoms.
I’ve supported thousands of families and children, including countless picky eaters, and I’ve published scientific research as co-author on a peer reviewed study that validates that improved diet and nutrition helps children.
From my decades of research and clinical experience, I have created a step by step program to help parents and individuals get results. If you’re tired of other people’s limited perspective restricting the possibilities for your child, then this program is for you. This approach has turned around the lives of children everywhere.
And if you’re worried about picky eating and your child’s nutrition, you can breathe a sigh of relief – because through this program 81% of picky eaters improved their eating habits and 100% of parents improved their knowledge of diet & nutrition and gained peace of mind about meeting their child’s nutritional needs.
My aim is to make a positive impact on your family and your life. Take advantage of my revolutionary nutrition program to help your child thrive.
Join me and a global community in nourishing hope!

Program Testimonials
“We have tried for more than twenty years to figure out how to counteract sensory issues and limited food intake as well as other ASD behaviors. We felt we progressed notably during this wonderful, educational series and many of our persistent questions were answered for the first time.”
– Anne Dolivo on behalf of her daughter Caitlin (with her dog Eclipse)
“The GFCFSF diet has been the most life-changing. Within a few days, his tics were reduced significantly. The supplements have helped with focus, mood, not being too picky in eating, and regular BM.
The Nourishing Hope Program is working for my son. With diet and lifestyle change, it has helped improve his quality of life. When I tell close friends and family that he has Tourette’s, they are all shocked because they don’t see him ticcing! This has been life-changing! Thank you Julie Matthews!”
UPDATE 2020 “Ever since we’ve followed Julie’s program, my son’s quality of life has just kept improving. In fact, since the summer last year, he has flown 5 times with the Civil Air Patrol. He has even sat on the left seat!!! He’s 14 and he’s working on his Private Pilot License.
He himself loves being on the Paleo diet, and he appreciates the changes I’ve made around the house and in our lifestyle.“
– Catherine S.
The whole family benefits!
From a mom in the program-
“After dealing with IBS for many years, I learned in the course that I had symptoms that a low FODMAP [one of the diets discussed] could maybe help. I tried it and felt a lot better. I even lost 12 pounds in less than two months. I had been dieting for many years and struggled to lose even a couple of pounds. I plan to continue experimenting with the low FODMAP diet and hope to continue feeling better – finally!”
Another family’s experience:
- Dad improved facial tics and lost weight.
- Mom lost weight, clearer skin, regular bowel movements (and for the first time in her life doesn’t have PMS anymore).
- Sister had better focus, and less anxiety. irritable, and picky eating
Course Overview
This Program is ideal for families new to diet and nutrition intervention, and those refining their approach.
Part 1: Diet and Nutrition Essentials
Class #1) Avoid Junk Food and Toxins – Learn which specific food ingredients to avoid in your child’s diet. Discover how every day chemicals could make symptoms worse and how to replace them with healthful alternatives.
Class #2) Eat Healthfully – Begin to tactfully introduce new, nutritious foods into your child’s diet and for the whole family.
Class #3) Boost Nutrition Status with Supplements – Add to your knowledge of suitable supplementation to improve your child’s nutrition intake and reduce their symptoms – including recommendations for specific products you can try right away.

Part 2: BioIndividual Nutrition and Therapeutic Diets
Class #7) Low Phenol Diets – Learn about phenols and salicylates, the difference between diets that exclude them, and when this approach may help improve your child’s behavior. At the end of this module, you’ll have all the information you need to do a low phenol dietary trial.
Class #8) Food Allergies and Sensitivities – Discover the impact of a short-term elimination diet in helping you identify common allergies and sensitivities, as well as other tests that can help you determine foods your child might benefit from avoiding.

Parents report results…
“It’s like she woke up a little bit more. She now tells us what she wants and doesn’t want.”
– Parent of an 11 year old girl with autism
“This a very well-researched and thorough program that is sure to be of benefit to not only to those on the autism spectrum but anyone who seeks to improve health through nutrition. It will require patience to layer the different diets and principles but it is well worth the effort. It leaves us with a sense of empowerment. Julie’s enthusiasm and hard work are extremely inspiring!”
– Parent in the 2019 program

Have Questions?
I answer these in the VIDEO below…
- What are the benefits of participating in the program versus following the steps on your own?
- Would the program be good for a 4-year-old autistic child with major food aversions and self limiting diet, or is it better to wait until his diet expands a little more?
- Is it too late? My son is 10 years old, he has ADHD, some stimming, and high functioning autism.
- How long should it take to start seeing results?
- My kids have autoimmune and celiac, will the program help?
- In the program, can we get specialized help about questions for tailoring the diet for our child?
- Are the program sessions online?
Testimonials from Parents
“I loved this program. It empowered me as a parent to know what to feed my child and why; all backed by clinical experience and research. It was the information I was seeking from my practitioner but did not have the time to discuss in appointments. Now I feel like I have the knowledge and tools that give me confidence to use my intuition as a parent and make the right decisions for my child.”
– Myra Young
“My biggest challenge prior to starting the course about not having enough options to eat on a restricted diet. I loved how Julie had the veggies list and different ideas on how we can incorporate it into our child’s diet. My son’s major improvement came through the diet. Thanks to Julie’s step by step approach on how to nail it further down. With the use of supplements, my son symptoms have improved and I am glad I found this course and found Julie and Terri.”
