Minnect, My name is Tim Smith, and I am a licensed & registered dietitian, as well as founder of Noble Nutrition. For some background, I grew up in Coral Springs, FL until I was about 13 years old. My parents and I then moved to Mooresville, NC (Go Blue Devils). Regardless of locale, my obesity exposed me to some of the most degrading bullying imaginable; my injuries still have a measurable effect my daily life & resultant physical pain. One particular day in high school, I received a remark about my weight, and decided to change how I was living my life as a result. No more mindless snacking on Doritos & Hot Pockets...at least not every day. Small changes over a period of time became big changes. Just a few years later, I was down 60 lbs & had successfully run a full 26.2 mile marathon for my senior project. ​ Coming out of high school, I knew I wanted to share this idea with others: "Your health goals are possible." In 2010, I was accepted into Appalachian State University (Go 'Neers) with a major in Exercise Science; my intent was to become a physical therapist & personal trainer. However, I took a couple nutrition courses with the right professors, and I became hooked (Special thanks to Dr. Lisa McAnulty & Dr. Paul Moore; you inspire your students.) ​ In 2015, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from ASU with my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, with a minor in chemistry. In 2017, I graduated from ASU with over 1,200 hours of hands-on nutrition experience, my Master of Science, as well as my contributions in my first peer-reviewed publication. ​ Since graduating, I've opened my own nutrition practice (Noble Nutrition) in the hope I can share the gift of wellness with the same community that helped raise me. Since returning, I've been able to help countless individuals in the Charlotte-Lake Norman area achieve their health goals. ——— So, why should someone get in touch with me via Minnect? In my experience today, I find that people are struggling in areas of business” and health; it’s my fortune to say I’ve become an expert in both. I would love the opportunity to help you. Whether you want to get shredded or conquer your diabetes; if you want to start your own LLC, or even need meaningful strategies for overcoming procrastination/lack of motivation; I am confident I can help. And if I am not confident that I can help, I will be honest about that. Each of my clients’ journey usually begins with an anxious text. I'm here to answer it when you're ready.
