About Me – Tamara The Health Engineer

Why I Do What I Do?

As an Integrative Health Practitioner focusing on women’s health, mom of a very energetic boy, and an engineer who has worked in industry for a long time, I understand how precious time is and how to try to handle everything!

My health issues began at birth with colic, and I’ve always struggled with digestion. Constipation was my norm, and despite my mom's efforts with remedies like prune juice and Metamucil, nothing seemed to work.. I continued trying things as I got older like:

Enemas
Eating high fiber cereals like Fiber One
Drinking lots of water
Diets like Atkins
Restricting food groups (gluten)

Some of it had an impact but again nothing consistently worked.

In adulthood, I faced numerous other health issues, including:

LOSING MY PERIOD
This is the additional vital sign that ALL women have
APPENDECTOMY
I learned later that the appendix is important
LYME
Was put on anti-biotics
MONO-SCLEROSIS - vertigo
MS OPTIC NEURITIS
HASHIMOTO's after my son was born

I was told I needed lifelong medication to combat my issues. I wasn’t satisfied with this answer and focused on finding a better way. This is what put me on my personal health journey.

I started to improve naturally through diet, proving the body can heal with the right conditions. I found a nutritionist to help handle constipation. It helped but didn't fix things entirely. Through a colonoscopy I found I had a redundant colon (my colon is longer than the average female!). Well, I didn’t give up but it explained a lot. I’m now more regular than I ever was by learning from many different resources.

How Tamara uses her Engineering degree help her build health protocols for her clients:

As a professional engineer, I am very good at troubleshooting why an automatic machine is not doing what it was supposed to be. I would run tests and find what part of the sequence wasn’t firing and make a change. I applied this methodology to my health and discovered functional medicine.

Functional medicine bases things on the root cause.

It made complete sense. If you have a leak in the ceiling, you don’t just keep replacing the bucket, you search to find out where the leak is coming from. Makes sense! I found out that with functional medicine you could run a type of ‘test’ like what I would do on the machine, but on the body. I worked with two functional doctors and again made headway on helping out my symptoms.

It wasn’t until I found Dr. Stephen Cabral. Through his experience and knowledge base and training, he provided me with the keys to kingdom to help me understand where my digestion issues were. I am feeling like I am the CEO of my health and want to help others get there too! I went through his certification so now I can work with the most complicated machine in the world….the human body!

I would call myself a health engineer, because I uniquely apply an engineering mindset to health challenges, a skill I developed while earning my degree in Engineering. This approach allows me to think beyond conventional “one size fits all” health programs and create impactful, personalized healing plans.

I can help you too learn more about the gift of our bodies and how to make things better. Don’t let others tell you what is possible. Find out for yourself and break standard convention on what is expected as we age!
