Meet the Team

This team didn't
happen by accident.

Six people. Twenty years of shared history. One vision for what care could be.

Over 20 years of practicing medicine, in family medicine, in bariatric care, in corporate wellness, in the endless search for a better way, Dr. Meg was paying attention. Not just to her patients, but to the people around her. The ones who had the gift. The ones who showed up differently. The ones she knew, someday, she wanted beside her when she finally built something worthy of her vision.

Every person on this team was hand picked. Not from a job posting. From Dr. Meg's journey. Each one chosen because she watched them work, saw their gift firsthand, and knew without question that they were exactly who YOUR.Life needed.

This is that team.

Dr. Meg Zakarewicz, Medical Director at YOUR.Life Functional Medicine
Dr. Meg Zakarewicz, DO
Medical Director

Dr. Meg didn't build YOUR.Life because it was the logical next step in her career. She built it because she couldn't keep practicing any other way.

Dr. Meg is many things. A physician with over 20 years of experience. A forever learner who has spent two decades studying everything medical school didn't teach her, from metabolic health and hormones to gut health, nutrition, exercise science, and longevity, layering it onto a clinical foundation that most wellness practitioners simply don't have. A scientist who loves a complex problem. A builder who saw a broken system and chose to create something better.

But what her patients will tell you, and what she could never say about herself, is that Dr. Meg has a rare gift for making people feel genuinely seen. There is something about the way she listens, the way she explains, the way she connects the dots between your labs and your lived experience, that makes people lean in. Complex becomes clear. Overwhelming becomes manageable. And somewhere in that conversation, something clicks, the kind of aha moment that changes how you see your own health forever.

She brings both the science and the soul to every interaction. She loves the problem solving. She loves the data. But what she loves most, truly and deeply, is helping people heal. Not just their labs. Their whole selves. Body, mind, and spirit.

People come to her confused and leave with clarity. They come scared and leave with hope. They come feeling dismissed and leave feeling, finally, heard.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Meg is a mom to four completely unique, wonderful, wildly different individuals, each of whom needs something different from her to thrive. She'll tell you that motherhood has made her a better physician. Because the truth she lives every day at home is the same truth she brings into every patient relationship: there is no one-size-fits-all. Every person deserves to be seen for exactly who they are, supported in the way that works for them specifically, and believed in unconditionally.

That is what she brings to YOUR.Life. Every single day.

☀️ Fun fact: Dr. Meg is a true beach girl: sun, sand, and staying until the very last moment before the sun goes down. You'll also find her at the NAC most mornings before her day begins, doing the work right alongside the members she serves.

Marquita Carey, FNP-BC
Family Nurse Practitioner

Marquita and Dr. Meg go way back: two clinicians who cared deeply, thought differently, and recognized something in each other the moment they met.

Over a decade ago, in a family medicine practice, two clinicians who cared deeply and thought differently quickly recognized something in each other. A shared frustration with a system that limited what they could offer their patients. A shared belief that food and movement were powerful medicine, even when the system wouldn't let them say so. A shared vision of what care could look like if they ever had the freedom to do it right.

That vision is YOUR.Life. And Marquita is here, finally, to help bring it to life.

As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and certified fitness instructor, Marquita brings something rare to the team: the perspective of both a clinician and an athlete. She understands the body from the inside out: how it responds to stress, to movement, to hormonal shifts, to the demands of daily life. She is warm, brilliant, caring, and genuinely invested in every patient she serves.

She didn't join YOUR.Life because it was convenient. She joined because it was exactly what she had always believed medicine could be.

⚽ Fun fact: Marquita still plays women's soccer. On the field and in the clinic, she shows up to compete, every single time.

Marcie Amerstein, registered dietitian at YOUR.Life Functional Medicine
Marcie Amerstein, RD
Registered Dietitian

Marcie has a brilliant ability to meet each patient exactly where they are, and find practical, sustainable, creative strategies that actually fit their real life.

Marcie came into Dr. Meg's world during her bariatric years, and it was immediately clear that she was someone extraordinary. Not just knowledgeable, but creative. Not just experienced, but genuinely invested in finding the solution that works for each specific person in front of her.

With 20 years of experience, Marcie has seen it all, every lifestyle, every struggle, every relationship with food imaginable. And what makes her exceptional is not just what she knows, but how she applies it. She has a brilliant ability to meet each patient exactly where they are and find practical, sustainable, creative strategies that actually fit their real life. Not a generic meal plan. Not a rigid protocol. A real approach built around the real person sitting across from her.

She translates complex clinical findings into guidance that is clear, actionable, and, perhaps most importantly, enjoyable. Because Marcie understands something that not every dietitian does: food is not the enemy. Food is medicine. And food is also one of life's greatest pleasures.

Which brings us to her fun fact.

🎂 Fun fact: When Marcie isn't helping patients transform their relationship with food, she is creating edible works of art as the proud owner of Marcie's Cakery, crafting stunning, one-of-a-kind celebration cakes for life's most special moments. It tells you everything you need to know about her: she believes food should nourish you AND bring you joy. Both. Always.

Jeanette Guerelli of the YOUR.Life Functional Medicine team
Jeanette Guerelli
Health Coach

There are health coaches who hold you accountable. And then there is Jeanette.

Jeanette came into Dr. Meg's world through a corporate wellness venture, a chapter born from Dr. Meg's search for a better way to reach people outside of a broken medical system. It was there that she witnessed Jeanette do something she had rarely seen: meet people exactly as they were, without a trace of judgment, and help them become who they were capable of being, one small, manageable, beautifully sequenced step at a time.

Jeanette is the most understanding and approachable presence you will encounter in your health journey. She has a gentle way of creating safety, of showing patients that it is okay to be vulnerable, okay to struggle, okay to not have it all figured out. She sees people as they are. And then she helps them see themselves as capable.

She holds that space even when her patients don't yet have faith in their own abilities. She zooms in when someone needs to focus on just the next step. She zooms out when someone needs to see how far they've come. She draws from years of experience and multiple certifications to understand the why behind each person's patterns, and then builds a path forward that feels not just doable, but inevitable.

The transformations she helps create are sometimes so remarkable that patients can barely believe they are the same person who walked through the door.

That is Jeanette's gift. And it is genuinely rare.

🌴 Fun fact: Jeanette is a proud mom to three grown children and a beloved goldendoodle, and happiest with her toes in the Florida sand. She understands better than most that balance, joy, and rest are not rewards for doing the work, they are part of it.

Kristen of the YOUR.Life Functional Medicine team
Kristen
Clinical Patient Success Coordinator

Kristen came to YOUR.Life as a patient first, and never really left.

She experienced the practice from the inside: the care, the attention, the way this team shows up for the people they serve. And when Dr. Meg saw how deeply Kristen connected with that experience, how much she cared, and what she brought as a human being, the decision was easy. Kristen was exactly who YOUR.Life patients needed in their corner.

After years of dedicating herself to raising her children, Kristen was ready for a new chapter, one where she could make a difference and share her light in a bigger way. She now works as the warm, welcoming presence that ensures every patient has everything they need to succeed throughout their journey. She is the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, and more importantly, that no patient ever feels alone in the process.

She is, quite simply, warmth and sunshine bottled in a human being.

🏘️ Fun fact: Kristen lives right in the community, close enough to walk to work if she wanted. Which means when she shows up every day, she's not just an employee. She's a neighbor. Someone who genuinely lives and breathes the world YOUR.Life was built to serve.
Kate Tangradi of the YOUR.Life Functional Medicine team
Kate Tangradi
Practice Manager

Building something that has never existed before requires someone who can hold the vision and make it real. That is Kate.

Kate was already in Dr. Meg's world before YOUR.Life existed, working within the Well Lounge when Dr. Meg first arrived. And it didn't take long to recognize what Kate was.

Brilliant. Energetic. Unflappable. Capable of juggling more moving pieces than most people can even see, and doing it with grace, creativity, and an almost supernatural ability to keep everything moving forward.

Dr. Meg will be the first to tell you: she moves fast. She pivots quickly. She is constantly building, evolving, and pushing toward the next iteration of her vision. Keeping up with that, turning that energy into systems, processes, and a practice that actually runs, requires someone exceptional. Someone who shares the vision, matches the energy, and has the patience and precision to make it real.

YOUR.Life is not a medical practice. It is not a fitness business. It is something entirely new: a physician-led, fully integrated health ecosystem living inside a world-class athletic club. Building the infrastructure for something that has never existed quite like this before requires a creative yet concrete thinker. Someone who can hold the technical complexity and the human mission at the same time.

Kate does that. Every single day.

🚚 Fun fact: Kate is a true summer girl, happiest with the top down on her Jeep, music blasting, sun on her face. And most mornings before the workday begins, you'll find her at the NAC getting her own workout in, because she doesn't just manage a wellness practice. She lives it.
Together.

Together, this is YOUR.Life.

Six people. Twenty years of shared history. One vision. And a genuine belief that you deserve better than you've been offered, and that together, we can deliver it.
