Karima McKenzie, has witnessed numerous health crises in the lives of her family members and experienced health crises of her own. After the death of her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins due to various diseases, and experiencing her own health crisis, she decided to study holistic approaches.

In December of 2016, she was hospitalized for a week due to a presumed viral infection that was later diagnosed as a fungal infection. From the hospital bed, she vowed that she would never end up there again. It was in that moment that she recognized the importance of the diet as it pertains to health and wellness. She began studying the teachings of Dr. Clark, Dr. Sebi, Professor Ehret, and Dr. Morse essentially giving birth to T&AT Solutions.

The knowledge she attained through those seemingly negative experiences have equipped and propelled her to teach clients how to take ownership and accountability of their health, with knowledge and enlightenment of what to do and what not to do. Since then, she has read numerous books and participated in Live Intensive workshops with Dr. Morse, in an effort to continuously perfect and perpetuate her health and wellness knowledge. She is a Level II Detoxification Specialist from the International School of Regenerative Detoxification. Additionally, she is currently completing her Health & Wellness Coaching Certification with the American Fitness Professionals & Associates (AFPA) organization. She has seamlessly transferred all of her knowledge, skills, and expertise into founding T&AT Solutions, LLC.
