Tim Marshall, CNP

Tim is a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and First-Class honours graduate from IHN.

Getting his start with an “old school” bodybuilding supplement company in Detroit, Michigan, Tim came upon the study of nutrition and health almost by accident. After 15 years working with Natural Source Products and Research Nutrition, Tim decided it was time to add more scientific understanding to his already extensive layman’s experience and knowledge, and decided to enroll at the Institute of Holistic Nutrition.

Tim graduated from IHN’s North York Class of 2010 and was Valedictorian of his class. After graduation, he returned to Windsor, Ontario where he continued his practice, albeit with an even greater armamentarium to help clients with. In 2014, Tim founded The Holistic Guy Foods in Windsor, Ontario – a food processing company focusing on dehydrated and raw fermented foods, making apple chips, fruit rolls, spices, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha. In fact, The Holistic Guy Foods is North America’s only commercial fruit tea kombucha maker.

In 2019, Tim moved his family to an off-grid homestead in Central Alberta, where he and his wife and two boys are doing their best to live off the land, and with land that they currently steward, using holistic farming practices to grow their food and manage their livestock. Between feeding animals and collecting eggs, Tim passionately works one-on-one with clients from all corners of the Earth, using customized diet and lifestyle changes to support them in their healing. Tim teaches Nutritional Symptomatology 2 at Institute of Holistic Nutrition’s Online program.

This course covers complicated symptomatology that informs the development of supplementation, diet, and lifestyle protocols for more complex conditions, including digestive challenges like leaky gut, dysbiosis, and inflammatory bowel states, endocrine dysfunctions with focus on estrogen dominance, adrenals and thyroid, liver and kidney detoxification/support as well as immune system issues, including autoimmune diseases and cancer. Students are taught and evaluated on the design of intricate clinical protocols addressing chronic health conditions.
