Meet Your Functional Health Coach
Tamara Nonamaker, MS, MBA
Master of Science in Integrative Health and Nutrition · Herbalism Understudy
· Training in Functional Medicine · Bioenergetics Practitioner
Lifecycle Nutrition grew out of one core belief: your body is not a collection of problems to manage, but an intelligent, self regulating system that—when understood and supported correctly—knows how to heal, adapt, and thrive.
Tamara Nonamaker, founder of Lifecycle Nutrition LLC, blends rigorous academic training with lived experience and deep respect for the body’s design. She holds a Master of Science in Integrative Health and Nutrition, has studied nutrition and herbalism through a functional medicine lens, and brings MBA-level clarity to how care is structured and delivered. Her work is for people who are done with band aid solutions and want to understand their bodies at the deepest level, then build a life that truly reflects that.
The Journey
A Life Spent Studying What Makes Us Thrive
Where It Began
A Personal Search for Answers
Like many in this field, Tamara’s path started with her own unresolved symptoms and mystery illness. She had a growing sense that “managing” symptoms wasn’t the same as healing. Conventional medicine could describe what was happening, but not fully answer why. That gap sparked a decades long study of the human body—not as a list of diagnoses to suppress, but as a complex, living system whose patterns, when listened to, make sense.
Functional Nutrition
Training as an Integrative Nutritionist
Through her Master of Science in Integrative Health and Nutrition, Tamara trained in functional and integrative nutrition: how food communicates with the body at a cellular level, and how nutrients, hormones, the gut, and the nervous system interact over time. She learned to read patterns beneath the surface—beyond macros and calories—so clients could move from chasing diets to understanding what their unique biology actually needs.
Ancient Wisdom
Drawn to the Intelligence of Plants
Alongside her graduate work, Tamara studied herbalism rooted in functional medicine principles, exploring how plants support systems, not just symptoms. Herbal medicine deepened her respect for the body’s innate intelligence—and for the subtle ways plants can nudge that intelligence back toward balance. In her work, herbs are never presented as magic fixes, but as time tested allies that complement modern science.
Bioenergetics
Going Deeper — to the Energy of Life Itself
Bioenergetics—the study of how the body produces, stores, and uses energy—became a natural extension of this foundation. Working with bioenergetic scanning and related tools, Tamara focuses on how cellular energy shapes everything: how clearly you think, how well you recover, how you age, and how you feel in your own skin day after day. Instead of masking fatigue and “pushing through,” her approach asks what your cells are trying to say.
The Athlete's Mindset
Discipline, Patience, and the Long Game
As a lifelong athlete, Tamara has learned firsthand that real results don’t come from pushing harder; they come from training smarter, recovering well, and trusting the process over miles and months. That same athlete mindset informs her work with clients. She doesn’t promise overnight transformations. She offers something more durable: a structured, compassionate, evidence informed path that honors your body’s timing and leads to changes that actually last.

We work with your biology, not against it
Your body is not the problem. Rigid diets and protocols that fight your nature never last. Tamara builds plans that align with how your body actually functions.
We think long — not just for today
