About Us
I am Dr. Tarah Davis. I am a functional medicine phamacist, a nutrition fanatic, and philomath. I am also a military spouse and a crunchy momma.
I experienced my first taste of alternative medicine when I was 13. I became really sick, had diarrhea 20x a day, and it continued for over 6 months. I saw so many specialty doctors, but no one could really give me any answers. One doctor offered a long-term medication, but my mom wasn't convinced. One day she told me that we were going to go see a chiropractor that may sould like a kook, but it was a last-ditch effort, so we went... That chiropractor gave me some supplements and put me on a diet. A diet. A WHOLE FOODS DIET. After 2 weeks, the diarrhea went away. I could be a normal teenager again.
I was sold, I was a believer. My mom was a believer. We never looked back. I have used functional medicine to address issues that have come up at different times throughout my since.
I always knew I wanted to do something with medicine, but none of the traditional avenues felt quite right. So, I went to pharmacy school. The day I told my professors that I wanted to own a pharmacy where a patient could bring me a prescription and I offer them an alternative supplement/ nutraceutical/ a diet plan instead, they wrote me off as crazy. I persisted.
I began my career as a pharmacy manager at a large independent pharmacy that specialized in alternative medicine and hormone compounding. A step in the right direction.
There have been many steps along the way, not always in the right direction, but always leading forward. Now, with The Rooted Farmacy, I am finally able to give all my time and effort to my patients to make a positive impact on their quality of life. Through the use of functional medicine and whole foods nutrition, we get to the true root cause of their disease or discomfort and educate and empower them to lead healthy lives for the long term.
I look forward to building my practice with you! I hope you will entrust me with your health, so I can empower you to live a long, happy, and healthy life!
