FAQs:

• How does Functional Nutritional Therapy with EatRight-LiveWell work? We gather information from you prior to meeting about your wellness goals, history, consumption, symptoms/how you feel and so on - for emphasis on what you want to accomplish engaging with EatRight-LiveWell. In a series of meetings (because success builds on itself) we follow-up, tweak and add to your personalized program. Take the ancient wisdom ‘Food is Medicine’ and together we evolve your choices to tend to what’s ailing you with choices that you agree taste great and honor your bandwidth for time and food budget.

• Tam accepts a limited number of clients to be sure she has ample time to prepare, guide and support each client with a personalized plan and progress mentoring with loads of support and value for each client to achieve their wellness wishes and shift the trajectory of their health.

• What is all the ‘buzz’ about ‘Intentional’ in the EatRight-LiveWell programs and consultations? Food, beverages and other inputs of sleep, rest, motion, stress relief, even thoughts play into how each person expresses wellness or lack thereof. When we learn to be more intentional, knowing how our bodies and brains are fueled we can become more intentional about our choices. Getting what we want, realizing our exact wellness wishes to come true is all about evolving our intentionality.

• Do you test? A Functional Nutritional Assessment, a brilliant questionnaire with a complex algorithm designed by Doctors and time-tested is provided to all Retainer Program (12 week) clients.. This is a tool for screening your body’s priorities, signs and symptoms. It is a basis for understanding the body’s unique functional foundations to base a personalized nutritional therapy program. It helps client make sense of what they are feeling with signs/symptoms. We offer Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, a brilliant scientific assay of each Bio-Chemistry. We offer ZRT Laboratory testing, more useful information to base nutrition and lifestyle recommendations to support the body’s natural propensity for wellness. These aren’t required to engage Personalized Functional Nutritional Therapy with us, however can be very helpful. We will review other nutritional test results you wish to share with us. We may make lab testing recommendations for you to discuss with your Physician.

• Isn’t it more expensive to eat healthy and organic? Not necessarily. All the processed food is expensive and tends to lead to frequent consumption. We will help you prioritize organic for your budget. You will find that you can spend less on food and feel more satisfied (have longer burning energy). We will teach you how this is so much healthier for your body.

• How often do we need to meet? EatRight-LiveWell has formulated a variety of Retainer programs offering unlimited support and weekly meetings. This gives clients a structure for shifting to a nutrition game plan to give them their desired results. Lasting change is better for the body (‘YoYo” weight loss for instance is stressful on physiology and can be a longer term set back) and is sustained with a nice and easy, yet certain process or path (regular meetings) to give each client ‘lift off’ toward their desired wellness wishes. After a program completes, periodic follow-ups, we call Live-Well-Care™ are useful quarterly or semi-annually depending on how you/our client feels and what is happening energetically /health-wise.

• What if I don’t have Zoom? We can meet on the phone too but face to face is so much more fun, and even effective for you. We develop a professional rapport and relationship that it is fun to meet and keep your game plan going. Zoom is easy to install on your phone, tablet or computer. It is free for you. We also meet on Facetime and Skype.

• How does this work with my Doctor guidance? EatRight-LiveWell accepts referrals from many Doctors and Providers. Our guidance helps our clients be compliant with healthcare and nutrition protocols. We help you ease into and be consistent with choices to support blood labs, Physician recommendations, anything you want. Change isn’t always easy. When your Doctor tells you ‘more veggies, less meat and no sugar’ [or anything else] or to go ‘Mediterranean’ or something else, we help you get there in a way that is easy and satisfying. We guide you to ‘dial it in’ for YOU. To assist making and keeping healthful change, mindset is always part of the equation for success. We help with that too.

• Do you accept insurance? We do not accept insurance. The cost of poor health can be astronomical. Leaving your nutrition plan to flounder will tie to your well-being because nutrition is a great predictor of health. The value is extraordinary. Consider and calculate that health is your greatest asset!

• Do I have to buy a bunch of supplements? Food is first because it is foundational. You can’t erase a poor diet with a vitamin pill. When you want supplementation, and it can be highly beneficial, we will guide you. We are aligned with USA made made Doctor/ health practitioner only supplement companies that ship direct to you for freshness and accountability. Supplements are not regulated so it is important you have authentic products. Relying on marketing/labels can be deceiving and problematic. EatRight-LiveWell offers nutritional and metabolic testing to dial in supplements for efficacy.
