Learn about functional wellness and its benefits against conventional medicine

Our Approach

In her wellness and coaching practice, Tara Quintana specializes in helping women manage and overcome the challenges of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Her approach is deeply rooted in the principles of functional medicine, offering a unique and holistic alternative to conventional medical treatments. Unlike traditional medicine, which often focuses primarily on symptom management and medication, Tara's practice emphasizes a comprehensive understanding of the underlying causes of Hashimoto's. This allows her to address the root issues that contribute to joint pain, brain fog, and fatigue, promoting sustainable and natural healing over a 12-week program.

Functional medicine differs fundamentally from conventional approaches by viewing the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated symptoms or diseases. In her practice, this means evaluating the intricate relationships between diet, sleep, stress, and gut health. Tara guides clients through dietary adjustments tailored to their specific needs, helping them avoid foods that trigger inflammation and incorporate those that support thyroid function and overall well-being. Additionally, she focuses on optimizing sleep routines, recognizing that restorative sleep is crucial for hormone balance and immune system regulation.

Stress management is another cornerstone of her coaching. Chronic stress is a significant factor that exacerbates Hashimoto's symptoms, and addressing it through mindfulness practices, lifestyle changes, and targeted nutraceuticals can profoundly impact her clients' health. By leveraging the principles of functional medicine, Tara empowers her clients to take control of their health, providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to achieve lasting improvements and reclaim their vitality naturally.

Her practice also emphasizes the importance of personalized care. Every woman's journey with Hashimoto's is unique, and thus, Tara's coaching is tailored to meet each client's specific needs and goals. Through one-on-one sessions and supportive communication on online platforms, she ensures that her clients receive the guidance, encouragement, and accountability they need to succeed. This personalized and holistic approach sets her practice apart, offering a refreshing and effective alternative to the conventional medical model.
