About Nutrition Clarity Academy
Our Story
Nutrition Clarity Academy began from lived experience — not textbook theory.
From high cholesterol in adolescence to years of managing chronic conditons like prediabetes, eczema, asthma, and allergies to hering stories about how generational diabetes nearly take a loved one’s life — this work started out of necessity, not ambition.
It all began with a single moment of awareness: flipping a bottle around and asking, “What’s actually in this?”
That one question opened the door to years of learning, healing, and uncovering how deeply food choices shape how we feel — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
What started as a personal search for clarity has grown into a mission:
to make nutrition literacy simple, accessible, and prevention-focused for real people — in real life.
Today, through the Nutrition Clarity Foundation and its education platform, Nutrition Clarity Academy, we’re helping communities everywhere connect what’s on the label to how they feel — and use that awareness to change health outcomes for good.
Why We Exists
We exist because most people were never taught how to read food — only how to restrict it.
Because millions are living with preventable conditions, yet still feel confused about what’s truly healthy.
Because families are doing their best with limited access, limited guidance, and labels designed to mislead.
We exist for the people who’ve watched loved ones struggle with chronic illness, for those who are tired of guessing what’s good for them, and for anyone who’s ever felt left out of the conversation about health.
Nutrition Clarity Academy was built to change that — by teaching people to see food clearly, understand how it shapes their bodies, and rebuild trust in what they eat.
Together, through the Nutrition Clarity Foundation, we’re helping individuals and communities prevent disease before it starts — one label, one lesson, and one meal at a time.
Our Mission
To make nutrition clarity accessible and practical for every household, school, and workplace.
We teach people how to see food differently — connecting what’s on the label to how they feel — so they can make informed, confident choices that support long-term health and prevention.
Our Vision
Our vision is to make food literacy a foundation for healthier communities.
We believe everyone deserves access to nutrition education that feels clear, personal, and doable — not clinical or out of reach.
When people understand how food shapes energy, mood, and health, prevention becomes possible for every generation.
What We Offer
Nutrition Clarity Academy is the flagship education platform of the Nutrition Clarity Foundation — created to make food literacy practical, personal, and prevention-focused. We help people understand what’s actually in their food, how it impacts their energy, mood, and health, and what changes make the biggest difference day-to-day. Through guided learning, digital programs, and real-world resources, we make nutrition education feel clear and actionable — not clinical or overwhelming. Every lesson, tool, and resource is designed to build awareness that lasts — helping individuals, families, and communities turn food clarity into lifelong prevention.
Meet the Founder
Autumn Shelton
I built Nutrition Clarity Academy after years of living with unanswered questions about my own health.
I spent most of my life managing conditions like prediabetes and eczema, without realizing how much food was shaping my energy and symptoms.
My father was diagnosed with diabetes at 21 and almost lost his life before he ever understood his body’s signals.
That moment changed everything for me.
I realized most people aren’t failing their health — they just haven’t been given clarity.
Nutrition Clarity Academy was created to close that gap — to teach people what food labels really mean, how ingredients affect the body, and how awareness can change outcomes for entire families.
I believe food clarity is health clarity.
And I believe everyone deserves that chance.
No shame. No overwhelm. Just clarity.
Nutrition Clarity Academy operates under the Nutrition Clarity Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to advancing nutrition literacy as a tool for prevention.
Together, we’re helping families, schools, and workplaces see food clearly and live better.
