STAYING HEALTHY WITHOUT MEDICATION Through Exercise, Good Food and Nutrition | Tammy Reeves
Genetics plays an important role in our health and so it is important to understand how that plays into your fitness and health regimen. Sometimes, too, what you think is good for the body may not be good for you because not everyone's physique is the same as everyone’s. We also need to see how our bodies are responding to what we are eating or what our bodies are missing out on because of what we are not eating.

Who is Tammy Reeves?
Tammy Reeves has a Master’s degree in Kinesiology; is a Certified Personal trainer, Certified Nutrition coach, 200 hr RYT Yoga Instructor, Active Life Certified coach; Level 1 Crossfit Coach.
Tammy realized by the age of 19 that one of the best stress relievers for her was working out. She became a group fitness instructor during her college years. She was able to ‘out-work’ her bad nutrition habits until she realized that her lethargy and stomach issues were a direct reflection of poor nutrition. She began seeing a ‘holistic’ type of physician, and this started her journey on how she needed to eat.
Needless to say, her health took a dramatic change for the better. Tammy lives by a holistic approach to living with daily exercise and clean eating following the Plate Method for a robust healthy lifestyle and coaches her hundreds of clients to do the same.
