Empowering You To Reach Your Potential

Let’s face it, there is so much health information out there and we don’t always know where to turn or who to listen to. The biggest stress of health and wellness is often confusion. Where to start, and what to do and how to do it?

What diet should I do such as intermediate fasting, keto, weight watchers, or whatever the new trend is? How do we find out how to swim through all this conflicting health information and find out what works for us as individuals? How can we find a set plan that works for us that is sustainable and effective?

Thats where we come in.

Our Goal

Our goal is to show you how to exercise and eat specific for you, understand and manage all aspects of your wellness profile such as emotional and mental health, environment health, and all factors that make up your wellness profile. We want to empower you to make sustainable lifestyle changes, celebrate your milestones, and provide ongoing support and motivation every step of the way.

Our Mission

Our core mission is optimizing lives through health and human performance. We believe that true well-being extends far beyond physical appearance. Our goal is to empower you to achieve lasting transformations, not just through exercise programs and nutritional guidance, but by fostering a holistic approach to health.

Our Process

We teach people on how to become educated on their own personal health and wellness journey to find out not only what works for them, but what they find manageable and most importantly, enjoyable. We help individuals understand what the current trends are and what people should use to become healthier. The truth is what helps one person in health and wellness can hurt another.

Your program should be as unique as you are, carefully crafted to align with your individual needs, your biology, your preferences, and goals. No two wellness plans with Matter Health Associates are alike because we want your journey to be sustainable, achievable, and empowering.

About

Ryan Matter

"My philosophy is that Human Performance is maximized at the intersection of Nutrition, Health, and Exercise."

I’ve been immersed in the world of health and fitness for over 10 years. From my own training as a natural bodybuilding champion to working with clients from all walks of life, I’ve seen firsthand what works—and what doesn’t. Too often, I’ve encountered generic programs and cookie-cutter advice that simply don’t address individual needs. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s the driving force behind Matter Health Associates. I believe everyone deserves a personalized plan tailored to their specific goals, preferences, and lifestyle. I’m committed to bridging the gap between where you are and where you want to be, providing you with the knowledge, support, and customized programming you need to achieve lasting results.
