"I have worked with Tara for over a year, and she is the most effective healthcare provider I have ever seen. I originally sought her help for subacute thyroiditis, but she ended up addressing a range of persistent issues I had been trying to fix for years—including elevated EBV, bone marrow suppression, low protein, high DHEA, brain fog, and chronic reflux.

 

A few key results stand out:

 

  - Thyroid Health: Following my subacute thyroiditis, my GP and endocrinologist informed me that I was destined to develop autoimmune thyroid disease and would likely require lifelong medication. Thanks to Tara, my thyroid antibodies are now down to zero and I am not on any medication.

  - Reflux: I had been on GERD medication for 20 years and was told I would need it for life. Within four months of working with Tara, I was off all medication and have not experienced heartburn since.

  - Hormonal Health: I was diagnosed with PCOS as a teenager and never had a regular cycle; every previous provider simply offered birth control. Although I did not initially address this with Tara, once we resolved the root issues, my hormones normalized on their own. My periods are now completely regular without the use of hormones or birth control.

Additionally, over the course of our work together, my RBC, hemoglobin, hematocrit, homocysteine, and methylation markers have all normalized. My ferritin improved, my Vitamin D is in the optimal range, my EBV is steadily decreasing, and I have noticeably better sleep, energy, and focus.

 

What sets Tara apart is her deep analysis of labs and her ability to connect them to the underlying issues driving each number. She explains things clearly, and her protocols are highly specific regarding dose, timing, brand, and duration. She adjusts them as labs change rather than indefinitely stacking supplements. She is also incredibly generous with her time, willing to look at family members' labs, and meets clients where they are without judgment.

 

If you are looking for a functional nutrition provider who is rigorous, kind, and truly invested in root-cause healing, Tara is it. I recommend her to everyone I know."

"In 2023, I went to have a routine colonoscopy and found out that I had colon cancer stage 3A. After surgery, I started chemotherapy, but my body could only handle five days of it. I began seeing a naturopathic doctor, but a year and a half later, my liver levels were very high, and my ferritin was very low, and I could not get any answers from my doctor. Fortunately for me, while listening to *Radical Remission*, I found Tara.

I have been following a plan Tara prepared for me for a year now, and I am not kidding—after just two months, my levels started dropping. At one of my appointments, my oncologist actually said my liver levels (and the others) looked "beautiful"—those were his exact words. Before that, he used to say they were high, as if that were normal for my case; my liver levels had gone up to 152—which is very high—yet my oncologist never recommended anything.

If anyone finds themselves in the situation I was in—not knowing what to do and feeling like you aren't "moving the needle," as Tara often puts it—it’s time to look for solutions. I am so happy I found her, and I highly recommend her without hesitation."

"I was diagnosed with osteoporosis at age 62 and was mortified. I thought I was a fairly

healthy person with good eating habits, and the medication recommended by my doctor

sounded very scary to me. I was also struggling with menopause symptoms.

Fortunately, my sister (who lives in California) had recently heard Tara on a podcast and

suggested I give her a call. As destiny would have it, Tara picked up the phone on the

first ring, and it turns out we actually live in the same town in Texas!

I’ve been seeing Tara for about six months and have made so many positive changes. I

quickly learned that I didn’t know as much about nutrition as I thought, and she has

been an amazing teacher in helping me understand its true importance. Not only has

she helped me feel so much better by resolving my digestion issues, sleeplessness,

and menopause symptoms, but she also got to the bottom of my bone health issues,

and we are already starting to see improvement.

Tara cares for me both professionally and personally. She is a ray of sunshine and

brings hope when I feel like giving up. I look forward to my appointments because I

always learn something new and truly feel cared for. She has even been patient with me

regarding the habits I didn’t want to change (even though I knew she was right!).

My health is an ongoing journey, and I am so grateful to have Tara by my side."
