Growing up in Northeast or as it is better known, Grape County, Taryn was the baby of the family. Spending time with her cousins and grandparents she had a simple childhood. Everything was simple except for the migraines. Migraines that can leave people bedridden as the pain from the headaches is unbearable. She tried everything she could to fix the pain but nothing was working. Eventually when all hope was almost gone the idea to see an integrative doctor had popped into her mothers head. Acupuncture surely had to help with something and being their last hope they went for it. Taryn was very nervous but as soon as the first needle slowly pierced her skin and then many more little pricks she suddenly felt the calm that she had been missing. A huge wave of relief rushed over her body, leaving the doctors office with a new found appreciation for doing more for your body than just taking some medicine.

Learn to enjoy the little things in life, it is short and if people spend too much time dwelling on the past they will forget to enjoy the present. With Taryn she enjoys all the little things in life and does not over stress about life or what she is going to do with her life. "Go with the flow," as some people say. It is easy to get caught up in thinking that life is too hard and that all these big decisions need to be made however just like a nutritionist changing small things like a diet can have a big impact on life. So, remember to focus on the little things and enjoy life.

Growing up in a big family she spent lots of time with her cousins and grandparents, which allowed them all to grow very close to each other. With her siblings being so much older, her brother is 13 years older and her sister is 5 years older, she became very close with her cousins and spent as much time as possible with them. As she got older her and her siblings became closer to each other but it still is not the same as the fun she used to have with those cousins, getting to run around for hours and bake cookies with her grandma and helping her grandpa make fires for s'mores in the summer. The older she gets the more she appreciates those fun times she had as everyone is getting older and things are changing.

Ever since going to the doctors as a child she couldn't stop thinking about how there are ways that you can get help and feel better without medicine. There are other options which is why she decided nutrition was the way to go. She is excited to teach people about their health, to help them get their life back on track with dietary needs and simple changes to what they eat. While still debating medical school either way she will be able to help people in many ways. In high school she was an A-B student with lots of friends so the idea of medical school certainly is not very drastic of an idea. So, whether medical school is in the picture or not being a nutritionist is still on the table and she will teach people about how to change simple things to live a longer and healthier life.
