Tanya received her undergraduate degree from Western Kentucky University and her graduate degree from the University of Louisville. She is board-certified in Family Practice by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and has been in the nursing profession for nearly 40 years. Her passion for nutrition science began more than thirty years ago and has evolved into more than a decade of experience in hormone, nutrition, and lifestyle preventive medicine in her own independent practice. She is certified in esthetics through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE). Her clinical background includes serving as an inpatient critical care hospitalist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center, where she worked in the acute leukemia unit, as well as a provider in a physician-owned integrative and functional medicine clinic. She specializes in hormone management for both men and women, hypothyroidism, Hashimoto’s disease, integrative lifestyle, wellness and nutritional medicine. Her goal is not specifically anti-aging but for optimal health throughout the lifespan and aging well. Tanya’s approach to care is highly individualized, combining functional and holistic principles with traditional allopathic medicine to meet each patient’s unique needs. Tanya is passionate about guiding patients in disease prevention whenever possible and providing holistic, functional management of existing conditions. Her goal is to intervene early—before progressive disease develops—rather than waiting for abnormal laboratory results or imaging findings that often indicate a long-standing underlying process. Her approach is not a “band-aid” solution of simply prescribing medication to slow, control or mask symptoms. Instead, she is committed to identifying root causes, implementing early targeted interventions to support long-term health and wellness.
