I’m a health coach who specializes in helping men reverse insulin resistance and take back control of their weight, energy, and long-term health. 

My coaching is rooted in the science taught by Dr. Benjamin Bikman and the Insulin IQ framework, which focuses on lifestyle-first strategies to improve metabolic health.

My path to coaching started with my own interest in fitness and performance.

Along the way, I saw how often men struggle with weight, fatigue, and early signs of metabolic disease, without realizing insulin resistance is at the root.

That pushed me to get my Master Primal Health Certification and then my Insulin IQ certification so I could help others with practical, evidence-based strategies that work in real life.

I don’t hand out quick fixes. I teach you how to eat, move, sleep, and live in a way that makes your body more insulin-sensitive, so you can build habits that last and avoid the chronic illnesses that cut life short.

I work with people who feel stuck, tired of pushing without progress, or simply know something has to change.

My approach blends science, lived experience, and empathy — helping you find clarity, reclaim energy, and move forward with confidence.

I listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and create a space where you feel supported, challenged, and accountable.

My background in entrepreneurship, health coaching, and endurance sports means I understand pressure, resilience, and the discipline it takes to adapt and grow.

Health transformation often unlocks breakthroughs in career and personal life too — because energy fuels everything.

My coaching is guided by ICF standards, ensuring professionalism and presence.
 

At the core: empathetic yet practical, measured yet challenging — always client-led, never prescriptive.

We live in an Unhealthy Default Reality where disease, dysfunction and delusion have become normalized, celeberated and expected.  It falls on the belief that disease is inevitable and out of our control, therefore, we carry out the conscious and unconscious behaviors and habits that upholds that belief.  Optimizing your health, healing and transformation requires you to look at beliefs that hold you back and change your behaviors and habits.  

As a Heroic Performance Life Coach the greatest experience is helping, guiding and supporting you to break free from the imprisionment of this Unhealthy Default Realty built on the choices made in the past.  With amplified awarenesss and the power of choice you can empower your liberation from the belief that disease is inevitable and out of your control and enter into the Hero's Journey of health, healing and transformation in body, mind and spirit.  

Health is the Foundation to Life.

If one accepts that almost 9 out of 10 individuals find themselves with some degree of active metabolic injury, illness and/or disease, you may find it reasonble to consider this requires Metabolic Rehabilitation to restore optimal cellular metabolic function.  

The challenge I have seen as a pattern with clients is that the one making the choices and decisions also needs rehabilitation. That is to make better decisions that will support your health and wellness goals with understanding everything is connected: Health is of the Body, Healing is of the Mind and Transformation is the Love you have for your Future Self which is created in the next choice you make.  

As a 6 Time Cancer Survivor I know the road to restoring, regenerating and rebuilding trust and faith in the process of opitimizing my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing.  And the process required one thing:

Self Love.

And Self Love was the very starting point for my journey.  To love, honor and fully accept where I was in the beginning while also learning to love, honor and respect my furture Self.  

Understanding and accepting the Universal framework of Nutrition and Movement as the two engines that can radically transform your pain and problems into potential and possibilities. 

When you are truly nourished in your body, mind and spirit then you move in such a way that it becomes Nourishing.   This is the path and process of renewal and regeneration.

Cancer, any other chronic illness or health challenges doesn’t need to stop your life. Because it’s not over - in fact, your life has just begun. I say bring it on!  Be a Warrior for Your Wellness.  

Part of my evolution and purpose is helping others move forward to optimize their health and wellbeing. That’s why I became a holistic heroic performance life coach focused on HOPE - Helping Other People Evolve into their true authentic selves.

Your body does not fail you - you fail your body. - Dan Hegerich

Welcome, I am looking forward to working with you. I am ready to help you succeed with your health goals whether it’s reversing insulin resistance or improving your overall metabolic health. Together we will have regular check ins to discuss how this new lifestyle is going for you and how to stay on track with insulin-smart eating habits in order to nurture the most optimal metabolic health possible for you! I was certified as a FDN Practitioner all the way back in 2018 after spending 5 years bed ridden due to chronic lyme, toxic mold exposure and Hashimoto’s. Becoming a health coach is what empowered me to figure out my next steps, when doctors were unable to help me get better. I was trained on how to order my own blood, stool and saliva labs so that I could better direct and work as a team with my health care providers. Then a few years ago I began to have symptoms of insulin resistance and that encouraged me to become a certified insulin IQ coach. Today I am happy to report that I have my insulin resistance under control. Throughout my journey I have learned to empower my clients in a similar manner. I love helping clients tap into their intuition about what's going on in their body, and overall health, so that they are able to better advocate and make decisions for themselves. My number one goal is to help you to stay on track with insulin-smart eating and lifestyle habits allowing you to look better but even more importantly feel better. If you’re ready to get started book a free consultation with me. I am looking forward to working with you.

WHERE I HAVE BEEN

HOW I HAVE CHANGED

WHERE I AM GOING

From adolescence until now I always had weight issues. I had an uncontrollable eating problem in the form of binge eating that haunted me all my life. I also had something called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which nobody knew anything about when I was a teenager. To sum it all up I have cycled through restrictive eating and binge cycles, gaining weight and losing weight. Throughout these cycles feeling bloated, huge, ashamed, and worthless were the feelings that followed me all around. I had an extremely low body image which affected what I wore and where I went even who I met and who I did not meet because of the way I felt, very fat! I was unhappy most of the time. The feelings of low self-esteem affected all areas of my life. I felt helpless and alone. I was confused as to how to reclaim my life. I was missing out on so much. After all now the problem was not just how I looked but also how my health was falling apart. 

I was able to change all these by studying nutrition, sports nutrition, functional medicine, nutrigenetics, nutrigenomics but more importantly behavior change methods, coaching approach, mindfulness, mindful eating and self compassion. 

Knowledge is powerful but often not enough to take action(s).

I was able to support myself in bridging the gap between knowledge and action.

I know that many people are also struggling with these problems.

I would not want any other person to go through the embarrassment, loneliness, helplessness, and sadness that I have been through.

I was able to change my story with a low-carb ketogenic nutrition approach.

This made me have a natural relationship with food.

Food is no longer my enemy but my friend. I feel fit, energetic and very well.

I am very excited to coach other people to regain their metabolic health, become fit, and feel well and energetic.

Brain · Body · Bank™ Coach — helping you master your metabolism and your money.

I help women take care of their health and their money at the same time — because when you’re under financial stress, your body pays the price, and when your health slips, so does your confidence to build the life you want. I stopped treating those as separate problems a long time ago.

My approach is simple: baby steps, not overhauls. Instead of telling you to cut everything out, I help you crowd out — adding in the foods and habits that nourish you, so the things that don’t serve you naturally fall away. It’s gentle, it meets your body where it is, and it’s especially powerful through perimenopause and menopause, when your body needs grace, not another restrictive diet.

I’m a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and trained through NASM in women’s health science — and I’m a certified Insulin IQ coach. I admire Dr. Benjamin Bikman’s strategy on insulin and metabolic health. His science is the backbone of how I help you understand what’s actually happening in your body, instead of guessing your way through another diet. You receive his entire 90 day InsulinIQ program with me as your coach.

My background also runs deep on the financial side — real estate, mortgage, and reverse-mortgage planning (CRMP) — which is exactly why I understand how powerfully money stress shows up in the body. I hold a PhD and an MBA, but what I care about most is walking alongside women through every season, from the young years all the way through the silver stage.

Mind, body, and bank.

It’s never too late to change your story. Let’s connect.

My passion for health and wellness stems from some personal health issues I have gone through. After many years of doctor visists, seeking specialists, running tests, and taking different medications, I never found any relief. I decided to take my health into my own hands. After much research on nutrition, fitness and healthy lifestyles, I developed a passion for all these things and started incorporating them into my life. I changed my diet from the Standard American Diet (SAD) to eating whole, unprocesses foods. I stayed away from foods that were not feeding my body nutritionally and started incorporating exercise into my weekly routine. I became a certified personal trainer in 2013 and fell in love with everything fitness! From one-on-one training, to teaching classes and holding workshops on fitness and nutrition, I was really enjoying my career. However, as much as I was enjoying my career, I was finding that exercising was only one piece of the puzzle. I saw first hand, with myself and my clients, that the food we put in our mouths far outweighed what was done in the gym. I continued to educate my clients in the direction of changing their diets to meet their health AND fitness goals. I left the fitness industry in 2020 due to an injury and a couple of surgeries. It did set me back for a bit and began to effect my health negatively. I was determined to get back in the "game" , but with all I had learned up to this point I really wanted to lean into the nutrition aspect of health and wellness this time. I have been implementing the ketogenic and intermittent fasting lifestyle for over 3 years now. Although I started the keto diet (really - it's a lifestyle) to overcome some of my health struggles and not to lose weight, I did naturally lose a small amount of weight and got down to my ideal body weight. However, my main purpose for starting the ketogenic diet was the science behind it and the thousands of testimonies I had seen and heard about it changing people's metabolic health. The science just made sense! The stories were just too many to ignore! I have since been able to keep at bay some of my health challenges- such as, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and inflammation due to this lifestyle change. I think eating keto (or low-carb) is not a diet but a lifestyle. It has definitely changed my relationship with food. Now I have a passion and desire to help others on their journey to better health by learning to eat insulin-smart and implementing other lifestyle changes. I am excited to meet you where you are at and help you on your wellness journey.

Hi, I'm Tam, a certified Insulin IQ Coach and Health Educator, dedicated to empowering busy moms and women of all ages to heal insulin resistance, reclaim vibrant energy, and spark generational wellness. 

I know the chaos of juggling family life while battling health struggles. I've walked that path  with all its twists and turns for far too long. 

My journey started at 20 years old with an autoimmune diagnosis, escalating at 27 after a 20-week miscarriage and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Weight gain, gut issues, mood swings, and chronic fatigue became my daily reality. If someone had guided me to focus on insulin as the root cause, I could have avoided so much pain—physical and emotional, including a total of five miscarriages, four in the second trimester. It's a miracle I have the 5 living children I do. 

This mission of mine has only become more heartbreakingly personal: my oldest sister, only three years older, lost her battle at 47 years old, from colorectal cancer, a preventable disease tied to unchecked insulin resistance and lifestyle factors. Coming from a family line riddled with these issues, I've seen how poor metabolic health collapses worlds, stealing time, resources, and joy from connecting with those we love in healthy ways.

But here's the hope: I turned my pain into purpose and want to help you do the same. Through 14 years of health education, turning over all the "rocks" to find the root causes, I discovered insulin-centric strategies—simple ways to relearn eating, sleeping, fasting, and nervous system regulation—blended with nature-backed tools for physical support. These changes healed me from the inside out, restoring my energy, confidence, and ability to show up fully for my family. I practice what I preach and have lost over 20lbs in under 3 months using all these tools. 

You can know all the things, but if you don't DO them and hold yourself accountable through the ups and downs, you stay stuck in a place that doesn't serve your higher potential.

Now, as a Metabolic Mentor, I help women break free from the cycle of hopelessness, confusion, and shame that traditional health methods perpetuate.
 

Imagine feeling hopeful again, mastering your metabolism without overwhelming diets or guesswork. Through my programs and working closely with me, you'll learn doable routines that fit your packed schedule—kid-friendly meal hacks, quick stress resets, and personalized insulin-resistant plans—that build progress and discipline. 

No perfection required; just brave, consistent steps that let you reclaim control, release past pain, and embrace your divine brilliance. 

The ripple effect? Healthier kids who learn from your actions, breaking generational patterns and opening doors to abundant opportunities.

Women and mothers are society's change-makers—when you heal, your family thrives, and the world gets a little brighter. If you're tired of fatigue, fluctuating moods, or feeling like self-care isn't worth the effort, let's connect. 

Tell me your struggles and let me help you rebuild your belief in your body, and step into a future of confidence and vitality. 

Book a free discovery call today—together, we'll make small, simple habits that create big, lasting change.

(Let's heal the world, one woman at a time.)
