What if making healthy, nutritious food choices was second nature to you?
And hours of planning the weekly menu became a quick tick in the box
I sense that’s exactly why you’re here.
You’re so ready to…
- Find quicker & smarter ways to feed your family
- Know rather than guess the foods that are best for you
- Step up the nutrients in every meal for more energy and better health
- Switch your rinse-and-repeat recipes for easy-to-master variety and flavour
- Start enjoying family meals again because everyone loves what’s on their plate (including fussy little ones)
You’re ready to feel calm, collected and totally in control when it comes to the food choices you make for yourself and your family.
(But in reality, the pure thought of menu planning sends your head into a spin.)
What will debunk the food myths and replace them with expert-vetted advice?
NOT going down the Google rabbit hole
While Google has its place, it’s also home to some of the most misleading, unfounded information that will do one thing:
Leave you none-the-wiser (and likely steer you in a totally wrong direction).
All while adding to your battery-draining mental load.
Tracking down tips & tricks that up your food smarts and confidence is a challenge.
(I guess you know because I find you here still searching)
I’m referring to solutions like:
- Recipe blogs
(that lack any nutritional information & expertise) - Pre-made meals
(where convenience is big, but the flavour is low) - Questionable meal plans designed by celebrity chefs
(with big claims and even bigger health risks) - Nutrition guides
(full of jargon and little to help you unpack it all) - Supplements
(that cost a fortune without the health boost to warrant the price tag)
The stumbling block to effortless, healthy food choices for you and your family isn’t your budget or motivation.
It’s a crystal clear, researched plan of attack that works within your busy lifestyle.

Who am I to talk?
Hi, I’m Dr Courtney Thompson
Accredited nutritionist, a lifelong learner and passionate about
Australia’s food literacy
My journey into nutrition began as a teenager with a healthy curiosity but a total lack of guidance when it came to the right food choices.
Home economics at school was a starting point, but it certainly left a lot to be desired.
What followed?
A complicated relationship with food and dietary guidelines.
(I knew what I SHOULD eat, but I simply couldn’t make the process enjoyable.)
So I set out to truly understand the food on my plate and ultimately fuelled a deep passion for food literacy.
What began with a Bachelor of Nutrition Science quickly created a hunger for more.
I realised there was so much to our relationship with food and its impact on our health, and I had only scratched the surface.
So I added an Honours degree in Biomedical Sciences, followed by a phenomenal amount of hours completing a PhD in public health nutrition with a focus on the development, validation and assessment of food literacy.
(I don’t do things by halves, as you can tell.)
What have my 7+ years of studying & teaching all facets of nutrition for leading organisations in Australia’s food industry taught me?
How to turn complex food facts into practical strategies that allow busy women like you to claim your full nutritional potential (while saving hours of precious time and boosting your health).

Have I caught you wondering whether you’re simply too busy for a healthy lifestyle?
Let me clear things up:
Eating healthy can be just as quick, if not quicker, than the pre-packaged, grab-n-go options currently on your menu.
Get Food Smart doesn’t add more to your plate.
It simplifies and streamlines things so they become easier.
If you are…
…over feeling sluggish and run-down because of the processed food you eat
…done with quick fixes, crash diets and empty claims
…wishing you could read between the lines when it comes to ingredients
If you want to step up and eat well for good…
…then Get Food Smart will be your best friend.
I sense you have more questions
Let me answer them for you right now
Week 1 is ready to go as soon as you sign up. The rest of the content will be released gradually over 9 weeks not to overwhelm you. After the 10 weeks, you’ll have access to ALL content and resources as long as this program exists.
That’s a great start. Congratulations! Even if you integrate some healthy ingredients into your weekly meals, the trips, tricks & hacks will make a real difference to how long it takes to prepare these. Best of all? The weekly shopping lists, time-saving apps and recipe hub will speed things up even more.
This course is for you if you know more than the basics of food prep and have the confidence to navigate a recipe and your kitchen. If that’s not you, then I recommend starting with Get Kitchen Confident where we cover these important basics.
No. Essential equipment does help, but none of the recipes require you to make costly purchases or fancy kitchen appliances. Your basic kitchen setup will work just fine.
Soon! Sign up to the waitlist to be the first to be notified when we open the doors. As soon as you sign up, you’ll get access to the week 1 content immediately to give you a head start and help you make smarter planning moves. Now is also a great time to join the student-only community to get to know your fellow foodies.
That depends on you and your approach to digesting it all (pardon the pun). As a general guide, I’d put aside 1 hour each week, so you get the most out of the content. Think you might be falling behind because of family commitments? Don’t stress. With lifetime access to the content, you can complete the lessons at your own pace.
Likely not. Unless you want to invest 8 years completing a nutrition degree. The beauty of this course is that I have condensed all the foundations, tips & tricks from 7+ years of studying food literacy, nutrition and public health into bite-sized information that simply makes sense within a busy lifestyle. That’s something Google, fancy nutritional guides or recipe books simply don’t deliver.
Don’t worry. I’ve got your back. The student-only community is where you can ask your Get Food Smart-related questions for as long as this program exists. Want 1:1 support and personal guidance that goes beyond the odd question? Then become 1 of only 5 VIP students I take on each time I run this program. This upgrade not only holds you accountable and keeps you on track, it will also make me your personal nutritionist over the coming months.
Let me ask you one last question
What if you could walk through life full of energy and feeling great?
(and the thought of meal planning no longer took up every minute of your day)
Less food anxiety and mealtime stress.
More freedom to enjoy things that really matter to you.
Less focus on weight, calorie counting and fad foods.
More fulfilment from preparing and eating wholesome food you enjoy.
See, you can keep Googling and guessing…
…or make a conscious decision to grow your food literacy with a nutrition expert by your side.
Is today the day you finally swap food fear for juicy food smarts?
(and the health benefits that come with them)
The answer?
Entirely up to you.
