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

He is one of a kind.”

“Tim is expanding the world of nutrition with his work in neuronutrition and our field is so much better because of it. He has this rare ability to make complex science genuinely accessible—whether you’re a practitioner looking to deepen your skillset or a normal human who just wants to understand your body better.

In a space riddled with so much misinformation, Tim brings clarity, intention, and a trauma-informed lens that truly changes how we talk about nutrition, health, and wellness. He’s exactly the kind of voice we need right now.”

I’ve seen, both personally and professionally, how trauma impacts the human body, brain, and mind. He understands how what we eat, and what happens to us, profoundly affects our brain.

“Tim is one of the most thorough and thoughtful individuals I've associated with. He's highly cognizant of people's needs, knows how to understand their trauma and experiences, and how to best listen and respond. Further, he's proactive while showing tremendous empathy. There is a genuine concern, paired with consideration of needs, to best manage challenging dynamics and situations.”

“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 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."

“Tim is one of a handful of nutritionists I would trust to send my students to because he understands the delicate balance between proven research and the uniqueness of each individual body.

He also understands that healing is beyond nutrition and that someone's dietary choices offer a glimpse into their emotional struggles and life circumstances.

His centered, compassionate, and accessible guidelines make him a rare, trustworthy voice in an overpopulated field of nutrition that relies on fear, restriction, and impractical protocols for the average person.”

Luis Mojica
Founder of Holistic Life Navigation and Author of Food Therapy
