Meet Tyra Garcia | Functional Nutritionist, Classically Trained Chef

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tyra Garcia and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tyra, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Starting my own functional nutrition business was a deeply personal decision rooted in my own health journey. I faced a debilitating health condition that traditional medicine struggled to address effectively. It was during this challenging period that I was introduced to the transformative power of functional nutrition.

The decision to start my own business in functional nutrition was not just a career choice; it was a calling born out of a desire to empower individuals to take control of their well-being through personalized, holistic approaches. My experience makes me uniquely attuned to the struggles others may face, and I am dedicated to providing support and guidance based on both professional expertise and a genuine understanding of the transformative potential of functional nutrition.

In essence, my business is an extension of my personal journey, and I am driven by the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the healing power of food in their own lives whether they have a chronic health condition or just want to lose a few pounds in a healthy sustainable way.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Experiencing firsthand the positive impact of a “food is medicine” approach, guided by a skilled Functional Nutritionist, inspired me to delve deeper into the field. The profound changes in my own health fueled a passion to share this knowledge with others who may be navigating similar challenges.

What sets me apart from others in my field is my holistic approach to nutrition, focusing on the interconnectedness of various bodily systems to promote overall well-being. I am most proud of the transformative impact I’ve had on my clients’ lives by addressing the root causes of their health issues through personalized nutrition plans.

Getting to where I am today in my business hasn’t been an easy journey, but the challenges have been valuable learning experiences. I overcame obstacles by staying dedicated to continuous learning, adapting to new scientific research, and refining my strategies based on the evolving understanding of functional nutrition. Building a business in the health and wellness industry requires persistence, patience, and a genuine passion for helping others.

One of the key lessons I’ve learned is the importance of building strong relationships with clients. Understanding their unique needs, challenges, and goals allows me to create customized plans that lead to lasting health improvements.

My brand is built on transparency, empathy, and a commitment to evidence-based practices. I want the world to know that I prioritize the well-being of my clients above all else and that my approach goes beyond short-term fixes. I am dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health by making informed decisions about nutrition and lifestyle.

In a world where quick fixes and fad diets abound, I strive to be a trusted resource for those seeking genuine, sustainable health improvements. My story is one of continuous growth, learning, and a deep-seated passion for helping others achieve their best possible state of health through functional nutrition.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We’d have to hit Epic Central in Grand Prairie, the city is doing great things to bring top notch restaurants and entertainment to the area.

Favorite restaurants: Vidorra (Grand Prairie), Malai Kitchen (so fresh and healthy), Flower Child (another fresh and healthy spot) and of course Fixe Southern House because those biscuits are heavenly!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Jennifer Fielden, RD, NTP, CPT who was my practitioner. Her expertise, support, and dedication has been a game-changer for my health. She empowered me to take charge of my well-being and helped me discover the transformative power of nourishing my body and setting boundaries. Which then inspired me to study nutrition and become a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.
