For years, school nutrition policy focused on fat limits instead of food quality.

This update reflects what the science has been showing and what many practitioners have seen in real life.

Allowing whole and 2% milk back into schools supports satiety, nutrient intake, and practicality, not just compliance. It also gives families more voice and reduces unnecessary barriers around nourishment.

At the Nutritional Therapy Association, we’ve always taught that strong foundations come from nutrient-dense foods that people will actually eat. This shift aligns policy more closely with that approach.

When nutrition guidance improves at the systems level, the impact extends far beyond the lunch tray.

hitting us with the best advice!

“Your 20s are full of career changes, and I’ve lived that fully…

I started in nutrition, convinced I’d found my path… then drifted. I had to take a step back due to my own health issues. I worked at a shoe store, then floral shop, then as an educational assistant. I kept trying on different roles, hoping one would feel “right.”

But the whole time, I felt this quiet pull back to wellness…back to nutrition (), herbalism (), and the work that actually lights me up. Coming back to it feels like coming home to myself. 🤎

If you’re bouncing between jobs right now, you’re not lost. You’re learning what doesn’t fit so you can choose what truly excites you. Don’t compare your journey to others either. Your path doesn’t have to be linear to be meaningful. ✨🌿”

Strong nutrition education starts with the body.

For 28 years, the NTA has taught nutrition through a physiology-first lens, grounded in nutrient-dense, whole foods. Saturated fat has always been part of that foundation, not as a point of debate, but because of the essential role it plays in human health.

Recent updates to national nutrition guidance reinforce what we’ve long emphasized: context, quality, and foods that support the body as designed. When guidance and physiology align, it strengthens the foundation rather than changing it.

This is the work we’ve always done, and continue to stand by.

Turns out your blood sugar is very much involved in your day.

Who knew. 😅

It’s encouraging to see nutrition guidance validating what the NTA has shouted from the rooftops for the last 28 years... food has a direct impact on your health.

Food quality matters. Whole foods matter. And teaching people how to build meals around nutrient-dense ingredients has always been at the heart of meaningful, lasting change.

When guidance moves closer to nourishment, clarity, and simplicity, it creates space for better understanding and better support across communities.

This moment reminds us that strong foundations don’t go out of style.

They continue to shape the future of health.

What do you think? Did they get it right this time or would you adjust anything?

Every meaningful institution begins with a belief.

The NTA was built on the idea that nutrition should be foundational that understanding the body deeply allows practitioners to support real, lasting change. From the beginning, Gray Graham and his wife, Joy, envisioned an education that was practical, thoughtful, and rooted in respect for the body’s design.

This grant exists as an extension of that original intention. It’s not just financial support: it’s an invitation. An invitation to step into learning with curiosity, integrity, and a desire to serve others well.

If you’ve felt drawn to this work, but wondered whether the timing or resources were right, this may be a gentle nudge forward.

A groundbreaking new “study” has confirmed what our students have known all along: when you slow down, chew your food, and support healthy digestion, everything feels smoother: your mood, your meals, and even the people around you.

Better digestion doesn’t just reduce bloating or that mid-meal urge to unbutton your jeans, it also supports the Foundations of Health that our programs are built on.

Here’s to a stellar 2026! When education meets purpose, this is what it looks like.

As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what was built, learned, and shared.

In 2025, this community grew in powerful ways! New practitioners graduated, future students raised their hands for what’s next, and conversations around foundational health reached more people than ever before.

These numbers represent real humans choosing education, purpose, and impact. Curiosity. Courage. And a commitment to doing health differently.
And this is only the beginning.

A new year doesn’t just turn the calendar, it turns something in you.

Enrollment for our February 2026 NTP and PHWC cohorts is open, and for a limited time you’ll receive $1,700 off tuition when you join.

It’s our way of helping you remove a barrier, take the next step with confidence, and step into the career you’ve been thinking about for far too long.

Most students begin with fears; not enough time, not enough money, not sure if they’re “ready.”

But what they discover is that saying yes to aligned work is never something they regret.

If you’re craving clarity, direction, or a path that actually reflects who you want to become, the Foundations are waiting for you.
