Best known for her bestselling book The Hormone Secret, she has built her career making complex science understandable and practical for women navigating perimenopause and menopause.

She is also the host of UpGraded Biology, a podcast dedicated to redefining health through evidence-based conversations with experts in every area that affects our lives. The show brings clarity to topics often clouded by extremes or oversimplification, giving listeners the tools they need to feel and function at their best.

Dr. Tami’s path to medicine was unique: before medical school, she danced professionally with a ballet company. That experience gave her discipline, body awareness, and an appreciation for human resilience—qualities she carried into her medical training. While Western Traditional medicine training gave her a deep understanding of how the body works, she quickly recognized its limits when it came to prevention and that “the absence of disease does not equal wellness”. She expanded her expertise getting certified in Naturopathic and Integrative Medicine, as well as studied acupuncture and Eastern medicine, creating a broader foundation for how she teaches and communicates about health today.

Dr. Tami challenges the popular idea that we need to “biohack” our way to wellness. She argues that health shouldn’t be hacked—it should be harmonized and optimized. In a culture where extreme trends like cold plunges and heavy-pack rucking are promoted as universal solutions, she brings a different perspective: women in perimenopause and menopause deserve approaches grounded in science, longevity research, and what is actually sustainable. Drawing inspiration from Blue Zones—regions where people live long, vibrant lives—she emphasizes nutrition, sleep, movement, stress balance, community, and when appropriate, bioidentical hormone therapy, peptides and or other prescriptions that may improve health and longevity.
