Biography

Dr. Tamara Sachs has focused exclusively on a comprehensive, holistic, personalized approach to uncover the root causes of chronic illness, accelerated aging, and general lack of vitality since 2003. Dr. Sachs graduated with honors from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at Saint Raphael Hospital and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.

After residency, she worked for several years as an Emergency Medicine doctor in New Haven, and then for a decade as a primary care doctor. In 1998, Dr. Sachs turned her focus to Clinical Nutrition, Toxicology, Integrative and Functional Medicine, and dedicated several thousand hours of accredited advanced medical education to this field.
