TRUE Food as Medicine Program
Root-cause functional nutrition for people who are ready to look deeper, understand what their body needs, and take a natural approach to improving their health.
You know something isn't right. You just don't know what to do about it.
You might be thinking…
“I am feeling off and I would like to get back to feeling like me.”
“I've tried so many things. Why isn't anything working?”
“I just want someone to figure this out with me.”
And dealing with…
Persistent bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, or other digestive issues
Blood sugar or insulin resistance concerns
Elevated cholesterol or other metabolic health changes
Fatigue or low energy that you can't seem to explain
Skin issues that keep coming back
Multiple symptoms that don't seem connected
Other health conditions or persistent symptoms
You don't need to guess harder. You need to look deeper.
What if you could finally connect the dots?
Imagine having someone step back and look at the whole picture instead of treating every symptom separately.
You'd understand:
What your biggest health priorities are and why they matter
What your symptoms, nutrition, and labs may be telling you
What your body needs more of and how to actually give it to yourself
Which foods, supplements, and lifestyle changes can support your health
What to focus on first instead of trying to change everything at once
Instead of constantly wondering whether you're “doing it right,” you'd have a clear direction.
You'd know what to do and why you're doing it.
And you won't have to figure it out alone.
The TRUE Food as Medicine Program
A personalized 1:1, 3-month root-cause functional nutrition program designed around your body, your health, and your real life.

Your Personalized Food Strategy
Personalized Food Strategy
Targeted Nutrition + Lifestyle Support
Here’s how it works
#1 — TEST: Find out what your body needs.
We'll start with your Functional Health Assessment (comprehensive blood panel + health history review) to connect the dots between your symptoms, history, nutrition, lifestyle, and lab data. If we need more information, we'll determine what additional testing makes sense and why.
#2 — RESET: Build the foundation.
We'll address the fundamentals that can have a major impact on your health, including digestion, nutrient density, blood sugar balance, hydration, sleep, stress, and other lifestyle factors.
#3 — UPGRADE: Make your food work harder.
We'll look at what you're actually eating and find ways to increase nutrient density, make better swaps, and upgrade meals you already love. You'll also receive delicious recipes selected around your health goals and preferences.
#4 — ESTABLISH: Make it your new normal.
We'll refine your approach based on your progress and help you build the knowledge and confidence to continue supporting your health long after our time together.
Here’s why it’s different:
You won't get another generic diet. Your recommendations are based on your health, symptoms, labs, preferences, and goals.
We don't randomly order tests. Your assessment helps determine whether looking deeper would actually be useful.
Food is more than calories and macros. We'll use nutrition strategically to give your body the nutrients and building blocks it needs.
You don't have to give up everything you love forever. We'll look for ways to upgrade the foods you already enjoy whenever possible.
Supplements fill gaps—they don't replace food. When appropriate, targeted supplements can provide additional support where your body needs it.
We address more than what's on your plate. Sleep, stress, movement, hydration, and other lifestyle factors matter too.
The goal isn't simply to sustain your health. It's to help you transform it.

What other clients are saying…
“My stomach used to burn anytime I was stressed or after I would eat certain foods. It was hard to know what I could and could not eat to prevent the pain. I can now eat basically anything without issue! I am so thankful to have found Tatum! ” - Hallie P. Lubbock, TX
“After I eat I would get really bad heartburn, but since doing the testing and going through my protocol, I am good as new! No more heartburn, I can enjoy food again, and an extra benefit was my fingernails even started growing out much better than ever before.” - Kim C. Lubbock, TX
“I’ve struggled with chronic diarrhea for years, and for the first time in a long time, I am able to sleep through the night without running to the restroom and my abdominal pain after eating is gone! Working with Tatum was worth every penny!!! ” - Rachel T. Lubbock, TX
“I had been dealing with facial ulcers for 13 months and had spent close to $8,000 trying to fix them with no real results. After getting into the program, focusing on my gut health, and starting an herbal protocol, my skin is healed. I no longer have to feel like I have to hide my face or stay at my house all the time. I feel FREE!!!” - S.C. Lubbock, TX
“When I started the program, my blood pressure was 160/115. Within 15 days, it dropped to 140/94 and I wasn’t following the DASH diet or anything extreme. This was the first time I felt like we were addressing what was actually going on in my body instead of just managing numbers. The good news is this is just the beginning! I am excited to see where I am at the end of the program.” - P. Davis Lubbock, TX

You’re the perfect fit for the TRUE Food as Medicine PROGRAM if…
✅ You have persistent symptoms or health concerns you're ready to investigate.
You're tired of wondering “Why is this still happening?” and want to look deeper instead of simply managing symptoms.
✅ You want a personalized approach.
You want someone to look at your symptoms, health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and labs and help you figure out what actually deserves your attention.
✅ You're ready to take a natural, active approach to your health.
You're interested in using food, targeted supplement protocols, and lifestyle changes to support your body and you're ready to make meaningful changes—but you don't want to live on bland food or give up everything you love.
“I've already tried eating healthy. Why would this be different?”
“Eat healthy” is good advice, but it's not personalized.
You can eat an objectively healthy diet and still have nutritional gaps, overlooked contributors, or health priorities that deserve more attention.
That's why we don't start by handing you another diet.
We start by understanding you: your symptoms + health history + current nutrition + your lifestyle + lab data.
Then we identify the areas that deserve our attention and build your nutrition strategy around what we find.
You don't need more health advice. You need a plan that makes sense for YOUR body.
“I don't want to give up everything I love.”
I don’t want that for you forever, but sometimes your body needs a therapeutic change.
There may be times when we intentionally remove certain foods, such as gluten, added sugar, or other potential triggers, because doing so can support a specific health goal.
The difference is that we're not restricting food just because it's on a generic “bad foods” list.
Sometimes healing requires a temporary sacrifice.
But you'll understand why we're doing it, what we're hoping to accomplish, and how to make the process as enjoyable and sustainable as possible.
And if possible, we will come up with healthier versions and swaps for the foods you are removing.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
TRUE is designed for adults with persistent, complex, or unexplained health concerns who want to look deeper and take a natural approach to improving their health.
I commonly work with concerns including digestive issues, gut health, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, blood sugar concerns, insulin resistance, elevated cholesterol, metabolic health, fatigue, low energy, nutrient deficiencies, and skin issues and more.
Your recommendations are always personalized to your individual health picture.
-
No. Many people come to me because they know something isn't right, but they don't have a clear explanation for what they're experiencing.
We'll start with your individual health picture rather than assuming everyone needs the same solution.
-
The FHA is the first step in your personalized process.
We'll review your health history, symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, medications, supplements, and comprehensive bloodwork to identify your biggest health priorities.
From there, we'll determine whether additional testing could help us investigate further.
-
Yes. Lab testing can be an important part of understanding what's happening beneath the surface.
Labs that can be run include:
GI-MAP
MRT-176 (Food Sensitivity)
Comprehensive Blood Panel
DUTCH (hormone testing)
Adrenal testing
Toxin testing (coming soon)
Autoimmune testing (coming soon)
-
That's exactly why we start with the Functional Health Assessment.
Rather than ordering a long list of tests upfront, we'll first look at your health history, symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, and initial lab data.
From there, we'll identify the biggest unanswered questions and determine whether additional testing would actually help us understand what's going on or change your recommendations.
You won't have to guess which tests you need—we'll determine that together based on your individual health picture.
-
Absolutely!
While I'm based in Lubbock, Texas, my practice is completely virtual, so I work with clients throughout Texas and beyond.
You'll receive the same personalized support, guidance, and one-on-one coaching from the comfort of your own home.
-
Yes and depending on what we're working on, your supplement support may be fairly comprehensive.
Food is the foundation, but targeted supplements can be incredibly useful when we're trying to fill nutritional gaps or support a specific therapeutic goal.
Your protocol may be relatively simple, or it may involve multiple supplements used in phases throughout your program, depending on your needs and how quickly or gradually you want to approach your goals.
We'll always discuss what we're using, why we're using it, and how it fits into your overall plan.
The goal isn't to keep you on a huge supplement protocol forever. It's to use supplements strategically when they can provide meaningful support.
-
We'll start with your Functional Health Assessment before determining what level of support you need.
The Functional Health Assessment is $750 and includes your comprehensive bloodwork, health history and symptom review, nutrition assessment, and a personalized consultation to identify your top priorities and determine appropriate next steps.
If you decide to continue into deeper root-cause work, the TRUE Food as Medicine Program starts at $2,500+.
Your total investment will depend on factors such as:
The level of support you need
Additional functional testing recommended
The complexity of your health picture
Whether we use a more gradual, phased approach or a more intensive protocol
You'll know what we're recommending and why before you commit to moving forward.
Start with the FHA. Then we'll determine what makes sense for you.
-
You'll have weekday messaging access throughout the three months, with a response within 48 business hours. This gives you a place to ask questions and troubleshoot without creating a model where you have to check in with me about every meal.
-
Rather than giving you a rigid meal plan that tells you exactly what to eat every day, you'll receive personalized food recommendations, delicious recipes, meal guidance, and practical upgrades.
The goal is to help you learn how to make good decisions for yourself, not depend on someone to plan every meal forever.
Understand your body. Change your health. Enjoy your food.
By the end of our 3 months together, we will have:
✅ Identified your biggest health and nutrition priorities.
You'll understand what we're focusing on, why it matters, and what your body may need.

No generic diet. Your recommendations will reflect your symptoms, history, labs, goals, preferences, and real life.
