Background
Hello, my name is Tamara Herman. I am a Registered and Licensed Dietitian for 27 years, and a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist for 24 years. I completed my Bachelor's of Science in Dietetics from The University of Georgia in 1996 and then completed my Masters Degree in Clinical Nutrition from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), where I was selected as the recipient of the "Clinical Dietetic Award" for Clinical Excellence out of my graduating class of 2022.
I can help you with nutrition management of many chronic diseases with emphasis on diabetes management and education.
I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 50 years. I have dedicated my career to helping others with diabetes to understand the disease and manage to prevent complications from developing. If you have diabetes, Type 1 or Type 2, book with me and you will understand more in 1 session than you could learn in an entire program. I have helped so many people understand diabetes and they have reduced their A1c's from the teens to near or less than 7%. I can help you understand why blood sugars are not ranging where they should even if you are doing everything that is recommended. There is a reason that blood sugars behave the way they do.
For those who are on a weight loss journey, my weight loss plans are flexible and individualized with no counting and tracking. Let me help you reach your goals and let's make 2026 a great year.

Approach
As an RD, I like to hear from the client what brings them to my services. I use questions to better understand the thought process of the client, followed by evidence-based responses to help confirm nutrition accuracy. I use visual aids with diabetes and weight loss clients. My goal is to make sure the client has complete understanding of how to apply the education materials and the plan designed for meeting their goals at the beginning and the end of the session.
