Dr. Tara Tranguch is a naturopathic doctor who combines functional testing with personalized treatment plans to address a wide range of health concerns, including cardiovascular disease, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Her naturopathic approach includes optimizing food choices, lifestyle changes, medical-grade nutraceuticals, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy.
Dr. Tranguch’s clinic, located in Woodbury off Middle Road Tpke, next to The West Egg, reflects her unique background—from living in China to farming in Collinsville. The space offers cutting-edge biohacking tools, an infrared sauna, as well as a full dispensary, including over one hundred herbal tinctures.
- What inspired you to pursue a career in health and wellness, and how did your journey lead you to naturopathic medicine?
My first detox cleanse in Thailand opened my mind to the value—and difficulty!—of making life-changing diet and lifestyle habits. My pursuit of health optimization for both myself and others led to running raw food retreats in Paris with David Wolfe, to teaching moms how to sprout and grow microgreens. This pursuit eventually led to a post-doctoral degree in Naturopathic Medicine from the University of Bridgeport. - What makes your approach to health and healing unique in the industry?
The philosophy of vitalism is at the core of how I address healing. Vitalism is the recognition of the life force that animates a person, and my goal from intake to treatment is to help the life force restore balance. This approach focuses on treating the whole person versus treating the disease or diagnosis, which can include emotional and spiritual well-being. - Who do you primarily serve, and how do you tailor your approach to meet their needs?
I treat men, women, and children of all ages. Everyone needs a naturopathic doctor in their corner, and I work to meet each patient where they are to help them improve their health. - What recent trends or shifts have you observed in the health and wellness industry?
Since COVID-19, people are more motivated to take control of their own health. Dr. Google enables people to self-diagnose, and social media ads promote compelling treatment options. Knowledge is power, and having access to more information can be positive, so I like providing insightful guidance stemming from my education and training to help my patients understand what they have read or are curious to try. - Can you share a success story or client transformation that stands out to you?
Too many to recount! From the high school boy who no longer suffers from asthma to the middle-aged female with no more acne outbreaks. The number of improved digestive cases is a large percentage of my success stories. I am currently focused on augmenting my treatment plans for autistic children, as this is a growing population in my clinic. - Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
My goal is to restore the body to health, and I find this is most people’s health goal. When you choose the food you eat or how you spend your time, consider if your choices contribute to achieving this goal. These little considerations will take you a long way toward improved health.—drtaratranguch.com
