I'm Tanesha

Hi there, I’m Tanesha, and like many of you, my life is colorful, dynamic, and, at times, overwhelmingly busy. I’m a proud mom to two delightful little ones, a wife to a wonderful husband, a caregiver to a lovable dog, and I balance these with a demanding full-time career as a physician. Being a classic Type A personality, I’ve always been the one to get things done — juggling countless roles and ensuring everyone and everything is looked after. Too often, this has come at the expense of my own ‘me time’ and those cherished moments of laughter and connection with dear friends over brunches or wine.

Hi there, I’m Tanesha, and like many of you, my life is colorful, dynamic, and, at times, overwhelmingly busy. I’m a proud mom to two delightful little ones, a wife to a wonderful husband, a caregiver to a lovable dog, and I balance these with a demanding full-time career as a physician. Being a classic Type A personality, I’ve always been the one to get things done — juggling countless roles and ensuring everyone and everything is looked after. Too often, this has come at the expense of my own ‘me time’ and those cherished moments of laughter and connection with dear friends over brunches or wine.

When the opportunity arose to experience a whole-body MRI—while I considered its value for my burgeoning Functional Medicine practice—I hesitated, consumed by life’s whirlwind. Yet, I eventually seized this as an opportunity for self-love—not the indulgent, luxury-spa type, but a fundamental care for the vessel of my own body.

Finally, I took the plunge, and it was a revelation. The MRI unveiled over 20 lesions on my brain and spine, leading to a shocking diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. This pivotal moment forced me to pause and reflect on the last two decades, realizing I’d long ignored symptoms while nurturing others.

This experience catalyzed a deep dive into functional medicine and an exhaustive lifestyle overhaul. Functional medicine has empowered me not just to aid others but to profoundly care for myself. I now embrace clarity without questioning whether my gut might be imbalanced, whether inflammation might be destabilizing my immune system, or if different diets might impact me uniquely. Understanding the signs of adrenal and thyroid stress has revolutionized my approach to health.

My mission now is to share this empowering knowledge and spark a transformation in you. I understand firsthand the limitations you’ve faced within conventional medicine (though let’s give a nod to MRIs!), and I’m committed to guiding you through a holistic, root-cause approach. Nothing fuels me more than witnessing others reclaim their health and ignite their inner fire!

Let’s embark on this journey to wellness together. Schedule a Clarity Call, and together we’ll chart the path toward empowering your health with intention, one step at a time.

Yours in Wellness,

Dr. Handy Lloyd
