About the National Academy of Neuronutrition
The National Academy of Neuronutrition is a professional education organization dedicated to advancing the emerging field of neuronutrition, bridging neuroscience, nutrition, and psychology to improve brain health, mental well-being, and patient care. Founded and led by Timothy Frie, DMS(c), MS, CN, CNE, a nutritional neuroscientist and neurobehavioral nutritionist, the Academy provides evidence-informed education, specialized training, and professional certification to healthcare professionals. Its interdisciplinary, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming approach equips dietitians, mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, health coaches, and other practitioners with a deeper understanding of the relationship between the nervous system, nutritional behavior, and overall health. By translating scientific research into practical applications, the Academy seeks to close gaps in professional education and support more personalized, compassionate, and effective patient care.
About the Impact of Traumatic Stress on Nutritional Behavior Webinar
Impact of Traumatic Stress on Nutritional Behavior is a 1-hour live continuing education webinar presented by the National Academy of Neuronutrition. Led by Timothy Frie, DMS(c), MS, CN, CNE, this activity explores the relationship between traumatic stress, brain function, and nutritional behavior, providing healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of how trauma can influence hunger and fullness signals, eating patterns, and an individual's relationship with food.
Designed for dietitians, nutritionists, mental health professionals, physicians, health coaches, and other healthcare providers, this training examines the neurological and behavioral mechanisms that contribute to complex eating patterns. Participants will learn to recognize trauma-related influences on nutritional behavior, identify when conventional nutrition strategies may be ineffective, and adapt their approaches to better support individual needs.
Through a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based perspective, this activity equips healthcare professionals with practical insights to reduce shame, strengthen therapeutic relationships, and support more compassionate, individualized, and sustainable patient care.
