Hi, I'm Tara Thorne.
Holistic Nutritionist, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Certified Functional Nutrition Coach.
I’ve had my share of hormonal issues. It all started with severe acne in my teenage years, which my doctor prescribed The Pill and Accutane for. PMS followed this in my 20s. I suffered from water retention, mood swings, sore breasts, migraines, and some anxiety-induced insomnia, which the doctor gave me Xanax for, (another Band-Aid “solution”).
Then, when I moved from Australia to Canada when I was 27, I suffered from another bout of (this time crippling) anxiety, which – you guessed it – my doctor gave me more Band-Aids for in the form of Clonazepam and Zoloft. But I knew these meds were not the solution. I knew there must be a reason for my symptoms – and it wasn’t a medication deficiency!
So I began investigating WHY I had all these symptoms and what I could do about them from a root cause level. I couldn’t learn everything I needed to quickly enough though, (there’s a LOT to learn when it comes to the human body) and so consequently, I suffered from postpartum thyroiditis and anxiety after I had my babies.
After years of struggling and then years of learning everything I possibly could about women’s hormones, functional testing, therapeutic supplements, nutrition, the nervous system, and SO much more, now, in the thick of my perimenopausal years, I feel better in my 40s than I did in my 20s!
I am also blessed with an incredible amount of knowledge and clinical experience, which I bring to you and my clients so you don’t have to struggle like I did, or try to figure it all out on your own. I’ve helped thousands of women worldwide regain their confidence, their self-esteem, and ditch their debilitating symptoms – and you can too!
