  • My name is Tami Broderick, and I’m a Registered Dietitian, Nutritionist, Health Coach in private practice in Orange County, California. My motto in both my practice and personal life is “Balancing Life with Nutrition.” One of life’s simple pleasures is food; therefore, what we eat needs to taste good. It should not, however, be at the expense of our health. My goal with this blog is to provide easy to make healthy recipes, as well as the latest information on health, nutrition and fitness. I live my life gluten and dairy free, so many of the recipes will contain healthy alternatives for those with food allergies and sensitivities.

    Thanks for dropping by – Enjoy!
