Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Jefferson
I am a Nutrition Coach with a background in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Nutrition. I look at nutrition from a biochemical view point. I can help you to eat better and feel better. Most importantly, I can help you to understand how the food you eat can make you feel and be healthy and how it can make you not feel well.

Tami is so knowledgeable about macro/micro nutrients and the biochemistry behind how the body uses them. I had no idea that these nutrients were missing from most of the food I ate, since most of what I ate was processed. I was surprised that the new meals I made for myself and kiddos did not take much more time than the processed foods. Her videos are so helpful; especially for someone who is not great at cooking. I highly recommend Working with Tami! More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
We all know that diet is what keeps our bodies running on a daily basis. What few of us know is what our bodies do with the food and nutrients that we put into our bodies. With a background in molecular biology, biochemistry ,mycology (the study of fungus), and nutrition, I can help you to understand what your body does with the food that you eat - both the good and the bad. We know that 70% of our immune system is in our gut and communicates with the bacteria that lives in our bodies (called the microbiome). Current research shows that many of the health problems that we see in the United States are due to consistent low level inflammation due to what our microbiome tells our body to do with what it absorbs. I can help you to understand how the food you eat affects your microbiome and your health.
What do you love most about your job?
Helping people to understand the why behind the food that needs to be ingested. Many of us know what we should eat, but we do not know why. Understanding what our bodies do with the food that we eat makes it easier to eat well.
I love to help people learn to cook and make menus for themselves and their families.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I want to help people take care of themselves so that they feel better and are in better health. We are all very busy and sometimes we just need support to take care of ourselves. If we are not healthy we cannot take care of those around us who need us.
Why should our clients choose you?
With my biology and biochemistry background I can go as deep into the science of why you need to eat good food and how your body utilizes the nutrients. I believe that a lot of us still want to ask why and how, we just feel like we cannot. I am here for the questions that you need answered.
