The Heart Behind Joyful Roots
Why Joyful Roots Was Born
Joyful Roots Health & Wellness was founded by Tamara McCormick, a Functional Nutritionist and Exercise Specialist with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. Tamara holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, a Master’s in Occupational Therapy, and advanced training in Functional Nutrition.
Throughout her career, she has worked across a variety of settings—including acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and home health—and also has experience as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, helping women build strength, confidence, and sustainable fitness habits. Her unique background bridges both the medical and fitness worlds, allowing her to create individualized, whole-person wellness plans.
Driven by her faith and a desire to help others thrive from the inside out, Tamara created Joyful Roots Health & Wellness—a space where functional nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and movement are rooted in faith-based principles. Her mission is to help individuals restore balance, improve vitality, and rediscover joy in their health journey.
