I’m Tam, your new anti-diet, weight-neutral, Health At Every Size (HAES) aligned functional nutritionist with an avocado as an eyeball.

diet culture has long taught women to take up less space, that smaller is better, and eating less is the path to health. and, of course, let’s not forget the creme de la creme: if you don’t fit the culturally thin ideal or fall nicely into the (racist) BMI box, then you have not only failed to fit into society, but you have failed at your own health.

we’re here to call bullshit on all that.

instead of focusing on body size through a lens of shame, let’s focus on body function through a lens of empowerment.

through functional lab testing, personalized food/lifestyle strategies, and targeted supplementation i work with women to get to the root cause of what ails them independent of body size. my highly individualized, whole-person approach is based on the bio-psycho-social model, making sure that any proposed nutritional interventions fit each individual's lifestyle.

this is a partnership - i’m not going to hand you a diet plan, shove you out the door and say, “see you in a month, good luck!!” - you are the driver of your own health, i’m just Siri guiding you along.
