Hello, I am Dr. Zamar Tara McPherson, a highly experienced Naturopathic Doctor and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (ND and RDN) with over 20 years of clinical expertise. I obtained my Doctorate in Natural Medicine from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine and my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Florida International University.
Throughout my extensive career, I have held pivotal roles across diverse clinical settings, including healthcare facilities, hospitals, and nursing homes. With a comprehensive understanding of all specialties, both clinically and within the community, I have provided exemplary care and guidance to numerous patients.
In addition to my clinical practice, I am deeply committed to education and mentorship. I have imparted my knowledge and skills by teaching university-level courses and nurturing aspiring healthcare professionals. Furthermore, I have served as a health coach for Fortune 500 corporations, empowering individuals to achieve their health and wellness objectives.
My passion for promoting nutritional health led me to become a recognized spokesperson for nutritional matters. I have shared my expertise as a nutritional expert on local television channel 3 KTVK in Phoenix, AZ, advocating for proper nutrition to enhance overall well-being.
In the realm of research, I have made substantial contributions as a Clinical Research Dietitian Consultant, collaborating on studies focused on diabetes and metabolism. Additionally, my role as the Director of Natural Product Research and Development at Ultimaxx Inc. has allowed me to explore further and expand my expertise in natural product research.
I proudly serve as the Holistic Nutrition Director and CEO of Nourish Healthcare LLC in Palm Beach County, Florida, where I provide telehealth services and consultancy. My dedication to advancing knowledge in traditional medicine and Jamaican medical ethnobotany has led to collaborations on ethnopharmacology projects, resulting in publications and presentations at prestigious institutions such as Harvard Medical School.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I have a profound passion for art, which emerged during a period of spiritual self-discovery in 2020. I taught myself to draw and paint as a form of self-expression, leading to proficiency reminiscent of the renowned Van Gogh. This newfound sensitivity to energy and heightened senses has enhanced my ability to address health concerns and provide effective solutions for my clients.
When you choose to work with me, you can expect a holistic nutritional program personalized to your unique needs, genetic makeup, and lifestyle. I believe in meeting you where you are on the continuum of change. Through discovery and setting strong goals, I provide support and accountability by utilizing principles from motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy to achieve sustainable results.
My motivation remains rooted in contributing to improving individuals' quality of life, one person at a time, through holistic, integrative, functional, and evidence-based approaches to health and wellness.
I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey of serving and empowering others to lead healthy and fulfilling lives.
