Cyndi O’Meara is a nutritionist, film maker, bestselling author, speaker and founder of The Nutrition Academy and Changing Habits, a whole food company that believes everything begins and ends with food and that health food should actually be just that – healthy.
Cyndi graduated with a degree in Nutrition from Deakin University in 1984 where her special interest was ancestral foods. At the end of her degree she was so disillusioned by the nutritional guidelines that she paved her own path, steering clear of the low-fat diets of the day.
In 1998 Cyndi produced best selling book ‘Changing Habits Changing Lives’. In 2016 she released the acclaimed documentary ‘What’s With Wheat?’ which received 150,000 downloads globally in the first week. Then in 2020 brings LAB TO TABLE, the completely revised, updated and extended version of Cyndi’s bestseller, Changing Habits Changing Lives.
Cyndi created the Nutrition Academy to educate people so they are empowered to know better, eat better and live better – because everyone deserves to know exactly what they are eating.
The way the soil, water and plants support each other and create a healthy system really reflects the amazing system within the human body and how we can nurture it through what we do and what we eat.
Head on over to our website and check out the important blogs written by Cyndi and guest writers to learn more about your health and the food industry.

You`ve heard the saying `you can`t pour from an empty cup` but do we really internalise it? This year, try committing to yourself the way you want to commit to your partner, children, work, or wider community.
It all sounds complicated, but to your body it`s an inherent and automatic part of the process, its innate! We can use language to understand what`s going on in our bodies and explain the magic of the system that keeps us alive.
Has The Nutrition Academy changed your life the way it did for Lee? Please let us know by leaving a review on Google or shooting us a DM — we would love to share your story with our community!

If your goals this year include managing your weight, don`t turn to laboratory-made shakes, make your own! Cyndi suggests blending an egg and some fruit together for a protein boost, or high-satiety fruit likes apples, bananas and avocados blended with Greek yoghurt and water. Low ingredients and high nutrition is ideal if you`re looking to chase good health.
To all of our students, how can we support your studying journey this year? Let us know below!
It is a phenomenon for humans to find novelty and newness inspiring. This `temporal interruption` of the daily drudge inspires us to change our life, but you can change your life in any way and any time you want. You have the power over your own life, not the flip of a calendar.
You may think the food you ate or the way you lived five years ago should not have an effect on how you live now, but unfortunately the body is too clever for that. This is one reason why consistency of good habits and good health is even more important than perfection or fad diets.
Foraging is an amazing skill that many people should learn for a variety of reasons. Have you had much experience with `living off the land`?
