For folks recovering from injury or surgery
looking to return to their active lives & Fitter selves
you’ve gone through a lot.
Let’s not downplay how tough it is to feel broken
→You’re feeling fluffier than you’d like and wondering where your muscle went
→You’re self soothing your stress with comfort food as your sitting on the sidelines
→You don’t have energy or mobility to kickstart a transformation
What you’ve been left with:
☑ Unwanted extra weight
☑ Muscle loss
☑ Emotional eating
☑ Limitations
☑ No answers to guide you
What You’re ready for:

Visualize how it would feel to…
Reach your weight goals without being deprived and starved
Spring out of bed without aches and pains
Watch your muscle grow and return to your active hobbies
Feel free from pain, limitations, and inflammation
Have the tools to override stress and emotional eating
Feel motivated to push yourself like you used to
You’ve tried…
Cutting calories but… your body doesn’t need added STRESS when you’ve gone through injury or surgery.
Restriction… but it led to RELAPSE on the weekends.
Weight loss apps, challenges, and programs… but it all went out the window when it concluded.
Intermittent fasting, keto, carnivore, paleo … but how long did that serve you?
Supplements … but did they “fix it?”
Looking to social media for answers… but is it as easy as influencers make it seem?
Your body endured trauma. The last thing it wants to do is shed fat.
It is harboring that fat until it feels safe, prioritizing every other process in the body first, weight loss comes last.
Meanwhile, your muscles are being broken down for energy to heal.
The dieting, restriction, and cutting didn’t last because your body senses that as another stressor to the body.
Why other “solutions” didn’t work
What you need is HEALING and trust building from the INSIDE OUT.
What you need
Nutrition = healing
→ Nutrition-science backed approach for sustainable changes.
→ Adequate nutrition and protein to support the body.
→ Timing and blood sugar balance strategies to optimize hormone levels and appetite.
→ Whole foods and anti-inflammatory diet to improve inflammation and muscle recovery.
→ Strength training and consistency in exercise regimen that provides joy.
→ Support, motivation, and accountability to stay on track.
→ Expert knowledge to filter out the noise from social media, family, friends, other providers who claim to be the nutrition know-it-all.
Influencers like to make it look so easy don’t they?
They set the expectation so high, you’re set to fail, you’re left feeling defeated.
Why is it so darn hard?
You haven’t been given any guidance through this process.
You were injured or operated on and your life was thrown disarray. You just wanted to learn how to acclimate to regular life while in crutches, boot, brace, or maybe stitched up.
You didn’t realize how hard it would be to slow the weight gain, the muscle dwindling beneath you, and the energy being sucked from your mind and body.
Let’s Face it…
Your doctor, surgeon, and PT never told you how to manage your weight and diet along this journey.
You’re still expected to juggle life, work, and family - it’s hard to invest time into meal planning, prepping, and exercise while limited from your normal function.
Inflammatory and poor quality food is EVERYWHERE, cheap, and an easy option, calling out your name when you feel fed-up and overwhelmed.
You hear tips and tricks from anyone and everyone who thinks that they’re the health expert, but you don’t know how to filter through the noise for sound advice that applies directly to YOU.
Stuck in a cycle → More time passed → no results → frustration & burn out.
because you don’t want to go through this again, do you?
→ 60 million orthopedic injuries occur per year.
→ 7 million orthopedic surgeries are carried out each year in the U.S.
…Let’s not be another statistic
I was an athlete | I recovered from six surgeries. | I am a dietitian and personal trainer
… And I became triumphant:
Fitter, stronger, and more resilient
Let me support you in this hard process
Why my solution works:
I provide an ADD-IN approach. Forget the reduce, restrict, cut, eliminate. We are focusing on adding in, increasing, supporting, and trying NEW things to not leave you feeling deprived and starved, physically or mentally.
My approach supports not only fat loss but muscle growth, inflammation control, and the body as a WHOLE, to regain TRUST and de-stress.
I instill sustainable long term changes that incorporate the mind-body connection to carry you through future obstacles of life.
My support is empathetic and gentle with the structure needed to develop habits and discipline to invigorate independence and choice, not promoting a one-size-fits-all plan.
It meets you where you’re at. Abnormal work schedule? I’ve got you. Unsupportive home life? I’ve got you. Traveling constantly? I’ve got you. Medical conditions on top of it all?
I see you, I’ve got you.
HI, I’M TATUM VEDDER
REGISTERED DIETITIAN
I’ve been where you are, immobile, in pain, weak, and fluffier than I asked for after. And I help people limited from injury or surgery like you, achieve their ideal weight, return to activity, free of pain and distress.
Diya H.
“Working with Tatum has really helped me understand nutrition and how to nourish my body into healing properly. I was trying various diets and supplements but nothing has worked long term. Since working together, I have become more aware of nutrition, improved sleep, more energy, less focus on weighing myself and the scale, and more on my body composition changing. I was surprised at how we approached weight loss while being mindful of our body’s needs which was so different from what I was used to. The way we approach it normally in diet culture is so incorrect.”
Adrina M.
“I was struggling with managing my diet, undesired weight loss, and inflammation. After talking with my doctor and reading different things online, I still wasn’t sure what to do. After working with Tatum I became much more aware of my diet, and made better choices that led me to improved sleep and the weight gain I wanted. I was surprised how educated Tatum is in the field, full of knowledge!”

FAQs
I don’t know how I’ll squeeze it in with my schedule
I work flexible hours 7 days a week to accommodate clients. All appointments are virtual, you can join from your phone while waiting at your kid’s practice or on your lunch break at work.
What happens if I don’t reach my goal within 12-weeks?
In session 8 we will discuss your long-term plan for success. Over the course of the program, you will be working towards habit development to maintain your success and continue towards your goals with little hand holding.
Do you take insurance?
I accept United Healthcare but the program structure will look slightly different.
How do people afford this?
If you value your health, there are ways to save and prioritize. Can we decrease the acrylic nails and eyelash extensions? Can we thrift rather than purchase brand new? Can we skip the family Christmas cards this year? Can we make a romantic meal at home rather than dining out? Can we leave the case of beer behind at the grocery store? Can we make coffee at home? Can we go on a sunset walk date rather than out for drinks? (Hint, the last five are already preparing you for success with me.)
Okay, but I can’t front all of the money in one payment
I accept payment plans, flexibility is a trait of mine, which I can teach you too.
Do I have to follow a specific diet?
No, I create an individualized meal plan template that structures your macronutrients with portion size guidance. Within this template, we create ideas of what you will want to eat to fit that template.
Do i have to buy supplements from you?
No, but there are many essential to the healing process and specific to you that I may encourage.
do you offer discounts or promos?
Seasonally, there will be promotions for the program. I offer discounted affiliate services as well, for supplements and meal prep services.
HOW LONG AGO DOES MY INJURY HAVE TO BE?
As long as you feel the injury is still preventing you from reaching your health and fitness goals, this program is for you.
