Welcome to the Functional Nutrition Course!
Cyndi O’Meara has put together an amazing education program that suits the needs of individuals eager to learn more about health and wellness. This program is also a great pathway for professionals to continue building their knowledge of nutrition to pass onto their clientele. The beauty of this course is creating your optimal outcome! I completed the course in 2015 and since then have continued to grow my business. Food For Life Coaching and Counselling began in 2012 and it has now grown into Food for Life Cafe. I have incorporated my learnings from the course into my business plan and facilitate the 6 week course that students are given upon graduation.
During the course you will be navigated through health and nutrition from an evolutionary, vitalistic perspective. The course will challenge the current food model western culture promotes and shed light on a perspective of real, wholesome food that is ethical. Ultimately you create your lifestyle philosophy and reap the rewards in your health.
The course begins with self reflection and understanding the lesson framework. This foundation will be built upon and guide you through the lessons and assignment writing. The course is also evidence based and requires critical thinking and investigation. Students will learn how to search for peer reviewed journal articles, critique and apply research
Not only will you enjoy the challenge of the course, you will also become part of a like minded community that encourage each other and share the journey. On another note, Cyndi encourages students to continue learning and provides opportunities to extend your knowledge with amazing speakers and health leaders in Australia. I have watched fellow students become health mentors, create and sell products, create online courses and be part of the ripple effect!
Please feel free to contact myself if you have any questions!
I look forward to meeting you all.
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.

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.

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`?
