Hello,
Thank you for reading my online profile! Even though our first interaction is taking place via a computer screen I am already excited to meet you. Why? Because I believe every person is a vibrant, amazing person who can accomplish more than they ever thought possible. This is what drove me to become a health counselor. Food is the vehicle in which I hope to infuse lives with positive energy. You know that feeling you get when you just come out of the shower....clean, warm and ready for whatever lies ahead of you....well I want that to radiate from the inside out for all of my clients.
This is why I attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. After receiving my certification I never felt more confident to go out into the world and help people make positive changes. This confidence is the advantage you get from working with a certified professional. The Institute for Integrative Nutrition is the only school that integrates all the different dietary theories—combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods. You would be amazed at how fun and valuable it can be to sit down and get the truthful advice about looking, performing and feeling your absolute best can be.
Stay Positive,
matthew

Testimonials
Since taking on Matthew's positive approach to eating, positive things are happening in my life! I no longer need to take a pill for hypothyroidism and test results show no imbalances in my hormone levels; the quality of my sleep is tremendously improved; my stomach does not grumble and bother me when running and exercising. I feel a sense of peace in my mind and body that greatly improves my practice of Chi Running!

Matthew,
You've given me deep personal insight into my life as well as nutrition. Not only do I think your knowledge of nutrition comes from a passionate and personal place, I am sure it will affect many lives in a positive way. Your true concern for the well being of an individual's health has given me a new perspective into how food can be integrated into all aspects of my life. There are two people that have changed my life "forever" in a positive way and one of those people was you.

As of coach of cross country and track & field athletes, I know how important it is for them to refuel well in order to achieve full recovery from workouts. Nutrition, along with appropriate rest, is the often overlooked aspect of successful training and healthy living in general. Matthew Germain’s holistic approach to nutrition and wellness has been a welcome addition to the running camps that I direct here in Vermont. He has great respect for the people he works with and has an easy rapport with all he meets. No matter what your background or walk of life, I am confident that Mr. Germain can provide some insight into improved health. His positive attitude and enthusiasm will not be hard to miss, and you will be glad you contacted him.
