Tim is a natural born caretaker and a pioneer in the field of neuronutrition. I have had the honor of discussing the scientific, spiritual and philosophical aspects of brain function, trauma and nutrition with Tim and every conversation leaves me with a deeper understanding of these topics.

Any client looking to work with Tim is destined to have an engaged healing experience in every interaction.

“Tim is one of the most passionate and dedicated nutrition professionals I have had the honor to meet.

He knows how to work with people in such a way that they feel supported and cared for, exactly as they need to be.”

“Timothy is the type of person and practitioner I would want taking care of my friends and family, and he is the type of educator and teacher I would want my health care team to learn from.

His perspective on neuronutrition and trauma is truly paradigm-shifting. No one understands the connections between our life experiences and our relationship with food—and the larger social systems at play—like he does.

He is is a compassionate person, systems thinker, and philosopher who is leading the way for a new generation of practitioners.

As a health equity professor and educator for health care professionals, I can say that Timothy is lightyears ahead in his understanding of how our life experiences influence who we are, how we understand our health, and the barriers that exist that make it challenging for people to take care of themselves."
