# Timothy Frie

> Timothy Frie is a nutritional neuroscientist, neurobehavioral nutritionist, public scholar, and educator. He is the founder of the National Academy of Neuronutrition (NAN) and the National Center for Neuronutrition. His work sits at the intersection of network neuroscience, behavioral nutrition, trauma-informed care, and sensory processing — with a focus on how the brain shapes our relationship with food.

Timothy has been featured in international and national media, holds advanced training in nutritional neuroscience and behavioral health, and has developed a distinctive clinical model that integrates neuronutrition, interoception, and trauma science. He works with individuals privately, trains clinicians and practitioners, consults with organizations, and writes publicly about food, the brain, and human behavior.
