About - Tami’s Journey

I have had an interest in health & wellness from a young age. As a student athlete I was interested in keeping my body in a state of top performance which included workouts, sleep, and nutrition. My maternal grandmother challenged conventional ways of looking at health which opened up my perspective into navigating a healthy lifestyle. I grew to question, investigate and seek understanding of “healthy” options when it came to nutrition and exercise as well as treatments and therapies for injuries or ailments. My career in science as a food-safety microbiologist helped strengthen my learning and research skills as I navigated work and personal life.

With all that, I thought I had developed a fairly healthy lifestyle. Then, I was hit with a diagnosis of an autoimmune thyroid disorder. My perspective and foundation were disrupted. Something had to change. Based on my upbringing and science background, it was natural to jump into exploring solutions available. I found the most helpful answers in the functional medicine space which is focused in addressing root causes. I used an integrative approach: I leveraged conventional medicine approaches to bridge the timeframe I needed to explore the functional path to address my health issue. It took time and not all the answers and resources were in one place but I was eventually able to help my body restore health so treatments with undesirable side effects were no longer needed. I started my new path and found tools to help me be more proactive and effective in optimizing my health.

That health issue and the challenging journey to find solutions helped ignite a passion to help others find their optimal health. Providing access to foundational resources and support, to help facilitate and empower people to discover and connect with their health-wellness journey is part of my mission.
