Hi, I’m Tara Gagliostro

MS, CNS

After spending over a decade working as an immunology research scientist for a pharmaceutical company, I reached a turning point. I had seen enough of conventional approaches that prioritized profit over the heart of patient care. Believing deeply that true healing requires a bridge between cutting-edge science and holistic wisdom, I went back to school to earn my Master’s in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition from the University of Western States. Today, I am a Board-Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) and a trauma-informed practitioner.

My decade in laboratory research instilled in me a uniquely investigative, root-cause mindset. I don't look at symptoms in isolation; instead, my clinical approach involves an in-depth analysis of your unique health history, advanced lab work, and lifestyle. This scientific foundation allows me to specialize in helping clients navigate the complex, deeply interconnected challenges of hypermobility syndromes, MCAS, POTS, autoimmunity, and the crucial axis between gut health and mental health.

Beyond the credentials, this work is deeply personal. My own lived experience gives me an intimate understanding of the frustration that comes with being dismissed by the medical establishment, and the profound need to simply be heard.

My holistic and deeply personalized approach illuminates how your body's systems influence one another, allowing us to move far beyond simple symptom management. By seamlessly integrating rigorous clinical science with the wisdom of your own lived experience, we will co-create a clear, manageable, and personalized protocol. I am passionately dedicated to partnering with you, empowering you to become an informed, confident leader in your own health journey, rebuild a profound trust in your body, and step into a life defined by confidence, alignment, and ease.

I can’t wait to meet you.
