Despite doing all the “right” things for so long, eating well and feeling safe in your body still feels so incredibly hard.

You’re not lazy, lacking discipline, or broken: your relationship with food has been shaped by your early-life experiences. Until now, you never had a safe and constructive space to understand how and learn what to do about it—in ways that actually work for you.

WELCOME TO

Coherence is a 1:1 neuronutrition program designed specifically for neurodivergent people who experienced attachment and relational trauma, grief, have multiple chronic health conditions, spent years bouncing from one diet or supplement to the next, and want to stop struggling with food.

During our time together, you’ll learn how your life experiences have shaped your relationship with food, and you’ll gain the structure and support you need to finally make eating well feel less overwhelming, more consistent, and aligned with your actual needs.

You’re likely here because:

As a child, you learned food wasn’t safe or consistent.

Maybe there wasn’t enough food, it was used as control, or cooking and food were sources of tension or chaos in your home. Early in your life, you learned early that your needs were too much, or that your caregivers couldn’t meet them. You figured out how to get by on your own, with as little compassion, comfort, and care as possible.

⟶

As an adult, your body became a battleground.

After a trauma, loss, or incredibly stressful and unexpected life transition, your mind and body changed. Planning meals, cooking, and responding to your hunger cues became difficult. You started experiencing brain fog, trouble concentrationing and making decisions, digestive issues, pain, and insomnia. Your body began to feel like it turned against you.

⟶

You did everything “right,” and you’re still struggling.

You asked for help, but it seemed like no one knew how to actually help you. You spent years bouncing from one diet, meal plan, supplement, and test to the next. You’ve tracked, restricted, eliminated, and reintroduced. You spent so much time, money, and energy reading articles, listening to podcasts, saving social media posts, playing a game of symptom whack-a-mole, and running on the functional and nutritional medicine hamster wheel. No one ever explained how trauma and your nervous system influence your nutritional health and behavior.

⟶

Now, food and your body feels exhausting.

Food and diets have consumed too much your mind for too long. You’re tired of thinking about food and trying to get it “right.” You learned that the way you eat is considered disordered, or you tried intuitive eating and it didn’t go as you planned. You know that nutrition is important for your heath, but you also know the way you’ve been taught to approach it just doesn’t work for you.

⟶

To grow and recover, you need nutritional coherence, not diet compliance

Despite everything you’ve tried, food and nutrition still feels stressful, confusing, and overwhelming because you’ve only been taught how to follow rules—not to recognize your brain and body’s actual nutrition needs, or how to meet them in ways that fit your life, your capacity, your means, and your history.

Most diets, meal plans, supplement protocols, and functional medicine plans don’t account for the ways trauma, early-life adversity, grief, burnout, and neurodivergence influence your appetite, emotions, decision-making, and nutritional behavior. They ignore the nervous system, your story, and they don’t consider how your life experiences have shaped your relationship with food and your body.

I know what all of this feel like because I’ve experienced it all myself.

I struggled with my relationship with my body and food for years. As someone who experienced significant early-life attachment trauma and was diagnosed with AuDHD in my late-twenties, I spent most of my life blaming myself for what I was experiencing in my body. I thought it was all “just the way I was” and that I was doomed to struggle with food my entire lijfe.

Despite having access to what was considered “quality” mental health and nutrition care, and following all of the recommendations, it was like nothing worked for me.

In graduate school studying human nutrition, I stumbled into the field of neuronutrition and nutritional neuroscience—and everything changed.

I learned an entirely different way of understanding the two-way relationship between how our nervous system influences our nutrition behavior, and how our nutrition behavior influences our nervous system.

This led to me founding the National Academy of Neuronutrition, the National Center for Neuronutrition, establishing a definition of Adverse Food Experiences (AFEs), creating the AFE Questionnaire, coining the term Health-Related Cognitive Overload (HRCO), and my work with people 1:1 through the Coherence program.

I created Coherence: so you don’t have to struggle the way I did, for as long as I did.

Learn how to meet your nutritional needs with clarity, care, and coherence.

You need support that helps you make sense of how your past has shaped your relationship with food — and what you can do about it now.

In Coherence, we’ll explore how trauma, stress, grief, and living in survival mode have influenced your eating patterns, habits, and routines. You’ll reconnect with your body’s cues, practice realistic strategies that fit your real life, and begin to shift from confusion and shame to clarity and trust.

Here’s what that actually looks like:

Reflect

Explore the stories, beliefs, and memories that shaped how you eat through writing, gentle inquiry, and shared reflection.

Notice

Learn how your appetite, cravings, and shutdowns are connected to your nervous system, energy levels, and stress patterns.

Cultivate

Create a food environment that supports your current capacity — not an ideal version of you, but who you actually are right now.

Re-connect

Begin to interpret your body’s hunger, fullness, and stress signals with more clarity, confidence, and compassion.

Rebuild

Understand why food has felt so hard, and start healing your relationship with your body and food in ways that feel within reach.

Shift

Move away from shame and self-blame. Practice seeing your eating patterns through a lens of curiosity, not criticism.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

Learn how to eat in a way that is safe, steady, and sustainable specifically for you.

Here’s what that can look like for you:

Know what your brain and body actually needs

So you’re not second-guessing every craving, symptom, or change in appetite.

Eat based on bodily trust and need, not emotion or control

Stop obsessing, restricting, and micromanaging every food choice and bite.

Recognize and honor your hunger and fullness cues

Even if they have been shut down, confusing, or unreliable.

Plan your meals and eating without doubt

You’ll develop supportive routines that don’t rely on perfection or willpower.

Less shame and guilt around food and your body

Learn how to meet yourself with compassion—not criticism and blame.

More confidence navigating symptom flares and shutdowns

You’ll know what to eat, how to respond, and how to meet your nutritional needs.

Flexibility to adjust in hard seasons of your life

You’ll know how to stay nourished—even when life gets messy and it feels like a lot.

Understand why food has felt so hard for you

And gain the confidence tools to finally change your relationship with food—for good.

HOW IT WORKS

A supportive experience that holds and respects the reality of your story, your body, your nervous system, and your capacity.

Understand Your Story

We begin by exploring how your early life shaped your relationship with food. You’ll begin to identify themes and variables within your food environment, uncover how trauma and stress impacted your appetite and food cues, and make sense of how your past life experiences—those that are both painful yet protective—live in your present life, in the here and now.

We do this for clarity and context, not judgment and criticism.

Cultivate New Conditions

Next, we explore new ways of navigating food, nutrition, and eating that are within your means and capacity. You’ll identify accessible nutrition strategies, practices, and approaches that allow you to eat well and meet your nutritional needs when you have limited mental capacity, energy, and time.

You’ll discover that eating well doesn’t have to feel so hard.

Practice With Support and Trust

During our time together, you’ll practice applying what you’re learning with guidance, supportive structure, and care. We meet bi-weekly for 50-minute calls, and you’ll have access to me in-between for support.

Even though you probably could do this alone, you don’t have to.

WHAT YOU’LL RECEIVE

Coherence is designed to support you emotionally, intellectually, and practically as you reconnect with your true nutritional needs.

6 Private Calls

Over the span of three months, we’ll meet bi-weekly for 50 minutes. During our time together, we’ll reflect, share insight, process new perspectives, and discover what it all means for you.

Private Messaging Access

Between your scheduled calls, you’ll have private messaging access for clarification, questions, and sharing reflections and thoughts.

Personalized Digital Journal

You’ll have access to a private digital journal with personalized prompts and reflective exercises to help you understand your food story, build self-trust, and reconnect with your body.

Detailed History Review

Timothy will spend at least one hour reviewing all of your nutritional, medical, and health-related history, along with the information you share during your onboarding and intake.

Neuronutrition Evaluation

We’ll spend 90-minutes exploring the two-way relationships between your mind, your brain, your nervous system, and your nutritional behavior and diet.

Comprehensive Onboarding

You’ll be able to share the most important details of your body, your health, and relationship with food by completing a variety of curated and detailed questionnaires and inventories.

Session Notes & Takeaways

After each session, you’ll receive detailed session notes with key takeaways. You won’t have to worry about taking notes, missing something important, or forgetting what’s next.

Curated Resources

Receive access to individually curated resources to support, reinforce, and make nurturing your relationship with food less overwhelming.

Discounted Lab Testing

If you need, Timothy will facilitate your access to discounted diagnostic nutritional lab testing through our physician services partners at a lab located near you.

Private Portal

You’ll access all of our calls, resources, plans, and notes through a modern digital platform that is available from any device. It’s distraction-free, organized, and easy to navigate

Together, we’ll gently explore the connections and relationships between your:

  • Neuronutritional needs

  • Food preferences

  • Emotional eating

  • Food environment

  • Food cues

  • Food-cue reactivity

  • Attachment style

  • Bodily trust

  • Self-compassion

  • Bodily and food beliefs

  • Bodily and food beliefs

  • Relational experiences

  • Daily routines

  • Self-curiosity

  • Sense of safety

  • Window of tolerance

  • Mind-brain-body connection

  • Emotions and appetite

  • Sensory experiences

  • Learned responses

  • You’re not alone.

    Most people who work with me feel this way.

    They’ve tried functional medicine, nutrition coaching, logging calories, supplements, elimination diets, and tracking apps.

    This program is different because it doesn’t pathologize you or treat your body like a machine that is in need of repair.

    We work relationally, slowly, gently, and in understanding of the full context of your trauma history, neurobiology, food environment, and lived experience.

    Coherence is not not a quick fix, “trauma blowout,” diet program — it’s a therapeutic space for creating safety and capacity for sustainable nourishment.

    It’s a supportive container for you to learn what your actual nutritional needs are and how to meet them in ways that are within your means and capacity.

  • That’s okay.

    The pace of our work together is intended to shift based on your capacity, energy, and life demands.

    Time for processing, adjustment, and rest are part of the process—not signs of failure.

    You don’t need to be at your best to benefit from this work; you just need to be able to show up as you are, right here, and right now.

    You can adjust the pace based on your bandwidth.

  • Yes. Timothy does not prescribe weight loss or use weight as a proxy for health. If you have a desire to lose weight, we will consider that.

    We will talk about weight, body image, weight-related fears, and health goals honestly, but you will never be shamed, disciplined, or pressured to change the size and shape of your body.

  • While you don’t need a specific diagnosis to benefit from working with Timothy, most of the people who work with him have been diagnosed with some combination of the following: ADHD, CPTSD/PTSD, depression, anxiety, autism, OCD, and/or a chronic autoimmune, neurological, digestive, or cardiometabolic condition.

    It is important to Timothy that you have the care that you need.

    Since this program is not a substitute for medical care and does not involve the diagnosis of any illness or condition, it is required that you have an established relationship with a licensed medical provider.

  • No. Instead, we’ll co-create food strategies that reflect your needs, preferences, means, capacity, and environment.

    You’ll receive practical ideas, structured options, and personalized suggestions, but never a rigid template or one-size-fits-all diet.

  • It depends on if you need them.

    There are no required supplements in this program.

    If it makes sense to explore them, I’ll offer guidance that’s gentle, evidence-informed, and tailored to your needs — but there is zero pressure to purchase anything.

    In fact, many of those who work with Timothy find they’re able to let go of expensive supplement routines that weren’t helping.

  • After our initial 90 minute neuronutritional evaluation, we’ll meet every other week for 50 minutes.

    Between sessions, you’ll receive reflection prompts, journaling exercises, and recommended resources.

    You’re not expected to complete a checklist, but you are invited to reflect, notice, and engage with what comes up between sessions — because that’s where most of the integration happens.

    Some weeks, this might mean 30 minutes of journaling. Other weeks, it might mean simply paying attention to how you feel after eating, or sitting with a realization that surfaced.

    This program creates space — maybe for the first time — to actually think about your relationship with food, your past, and your body.

    The time you spend will vary based on your energy, your capacity, and what you’re ready to hold.

    There’s no right amount of time to spend; just the time it takes to meet yourself.

  • That’s fine. Some people have a variety of sensory challenges with food, aversions, “limited palate,” and allergies. Everything we do will be considerate of your unique circumstances.

  • Once you reserve your spot by processing your payment, Timothy’s team will work with you to create your client portal, begin your onboarding, and schedule your initial 90-minute neuronutrition evaluation.

    As of July 2025, we are booking new clients to begin in September and October 2025.

  • You can email care@timfrie.com or indicate that you’d like to book a complimentary 30 minute discovery call in your application.
