Meet Tamara
I am a wife, a mother, and a passionate advocate for health and transformation. I began my professional career in fitness in 2008, and since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of men and women achieve their health, fitness, and lifestyle goals.
As a former professional fitness athlete, I have competed, spoken, and collaborated with multiple organizations, helping individuals and corporate teams improve their health, shift their mindset, and build lasting confidence. My mission has always been to empower others—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally—so they can truly transform their lives.
I am a licensed and board-certified Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, a sports nutritionist, a master fitness trainer, and a transformational coach. Above all, I am a lifelong student—truly a “health nerd”—deeply passionate about understanding the body and helping others unlock their full potential.
My Health Journey
My journey with health began at a very young age. Around the age of five, I was bitten by a tick. From that point forward, I experienced a wide range of unexplained symptoms—neurological issues, gut problems, and chronic fatigue—but I believed they were simply part of normal life.
Nearly 40 years later, I discovered the truth: I had been living with chronic Lyme disease, along with multiple co-infections and H. pylori. These conditions had been silently impacting my body for decades.
Around the age of 35, everything began to unravel.
What once felt like a strong, capable body quickly turned into one I barely recognized. I experienced debilitating joint pain, severe food sensitivities (limited to just a handful of tolerable foods), exercise intolerance, vision and balance issues, vertigo, ringing in my ears, insomnia, and years of heart palpitations. Even something as simple as drinking water became a challenge.
At the time, I was at the peak of my career—running a gym full-time, coaching dozens of clients both in person and online, leading a professional physique team across the country, and raising my daughter. Then, almost overnight, my health collapsed.
After working with over a dozen healthcare professionals, spending thousands of dollars, trying countless supplements, enduring emergency room visits, and diving into endless research… the pieces finally began to come together.
The Turning Point
For over 12 years, I lived in chronic pain and uncertainty. There were moments when hope felt out of reach. Despite earning more certifications than I had space for on my wall, nothing provided the answers I was truly searching for—until I discovered functional diagnostic nutrition.
That experience changed everything.
I finally began to understand how the body truly works—how interconnected every system is, and what must be in place to create true balance and healing. This knowledge became the foundation of my approach.
Today, I focus on core principles and proven tools that allow me to work with a wide range of clients, helping them uncover root causes, implement personalized healing protocols, and ultimately take control of their health.
My Mission
For a long time, I felt like a victim—wondering why something so difficult could happen despite doing everything “right.” But now I see it differently.
This journey was a gift.
It gave me the ability to truly understand health, to appreciate its value, and to help others become empowered and educated in their own healing journey.
If you are struggling, I want you to know this:
Don’t give up. Don’t give up on yourself.
You are worth fighting for. Your life is worth fighting for.
When you restore your health, you don’t just feel better—you either discover or rediscover your purpose.
