Julie Matthews, MS CNC is a globally respected nutrition expert, award-winning author, and published researcher specializing in personalized nutrition for complex neurological conditions; particularly autism spectrum disorder and ADHD, since 2002. She received her master's degree in medical nutrition, with distinction, from Arizona State University.
She is co-author of two research studies demonstrating the efficacy of diet intervention for autism, published in Nutrients and The Journal of Personalized Medicine.
After her seminal work Nourishing Hope for Autism earned "Most Progressive Health Book" in 2009, and the 2018 publication of gold-standard research validating the efficacy of diet and nutrition for autism, and the 2023 publication of the "Effectiveness of 13 Therapeutic Diets for Autism," Julie's next book will bring it all together.
In 2025, The Personalized Autism Nutrition Plan is set to ignite broader awareness and urgent need to effectively employ BioIndividual Nutrition strategies to optimize the process of nourishing hope for autism.
Julie has lectured in more than 60 cities across three continents. She’s been on television, radio, newspaper, blogs/podcasts and more, published scientifically referenced articles in journals and websites - sharing the knowledge that diet/nutrition affects the symptoms of autism. She’s been featured by Price-Pottenger, honored by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, sits on two scientific advisory boards including the Autism Research Center, consulted to a soon-to-be-published university research study, and is a Certified Nutrition Consultant with a successful practice in San Francisco.
Julie is a dynamic speaker who has educated professionals at trainings for Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, Autism Research Institute/DAN!, Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs, and the MINDD International Forum in Australia. Now, nutrition professionals around the world embrace her comprehensive online training in bioindividual nutrition.
During her early nutrition studies at Bauman College back in 2001, Julie discovered that food and nutrition influenced the condition known as autism. She committed to investigate the connections then explain them to parents and clinicians that can make a difference helping children recover. Her final research paper at Bauman College became her award-winning book Nourishing Hope for Autism. It explains WHY food and nutrition affects the varied systems and biochemical pathways routinely occurring in autism and HOW to strategically apply a specialized diet to help children heal.
After many years in practice, it became evident to Julie that the dietary approaches that helped the most difficult clients, were useful in healing most chronic conditions. And because autism is one of the most complex disorders (with underlying immune/autoimmune, digestive, neurological, and metabolic dysfunction issues), it provides a unique perspective on chronic disease that helps Julie teach others to see hidden connections between symptoms, circumstances, and effective healing dietary strategies for a wide variety of complex conditions.
She founded Nourishing Hope to stand for the efficacy of improved diet and nutrition for autism, and the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute to share the synthesis of her knowledge with cutting edge clinicians to help improve their effectiveness with therapeutic diets.
