Feed your brain to free your mind.
If food has felt like a constant source of stress, shame, or confusion, you’re not alone.
Maybe you skip meals and don’t realize it until your body crashes, you feel stuck between eating nothing and eating everything, and you’re trying to “just eat,” but it always feels harder than it should.
That doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means no one ever gave you a way to understand how your brain, nervous system, and past experiences shape the way you eat.
HELLO
I’m Timothy Frie
I spent years cycling through under-eating, over-eating, bingeing, and restricting—over and over again—trying to hold myself together while my body, mind, and sense of self unraveled. At the same time, I was watching my family fracture under the weight of trauma, autoimmune and neurological disease. I saw how the patterns were repeating across generations of my family, so I started searching for the reason why.
That search led me to neuronutrition, an emerging field at the intersection of nutrition, neuroscience, and psychology.
I founded the National Academy of Neuronutrition to train practitioners in how the brain, body, and behavior interact through food, and the National Center for Neuronutrition, the first virtual neuronutrition practice designed specifically for people experiencing the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral effects of trauma, stress, neurodivergence, and chronic neurological conditions.
If food feels tangled up in everything you’ve been through, I hope my work can help things feel more clear and coherent.
“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. Tim is a natural born caretaker and a pioneer in the field of neuronutrition.”
Michelle Shapiro, RD
Registered Dietitian, Host of the Quiet the Diet Podcast
“Trauma forms the bedrock for so many root causes within the crosstalk of processes related to diseases of body, mind, and spirit. Timothy has the passion and knowledge to help address the roots of trauma through nutrition and lifestyle.”
Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD, CNS, IFMCP
Nutrition Scientist, Researcher, Educator, & Author
“Timothy’s work stands out for its clarity, structure, and impact. He has an unusual ability to integrate ideas across neuroscience, psychology, nutrition, and trauma studies. He identifies connections that many would overlook.”
Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas, DProf, MSc
