Notes

TAM stands for Total Atherosclerosis Management. The TAM Program is held at Cardiology Associates of Marin and San Francisco's practice in Larkspur, CA. TAM runs for eight and a half-weeks, and is offered five times per year in a small group setting limited to 12 participants.

The TAM Program is a comprehensive, scientifically-based therapeutic approach to managing or preventing atherosclerosis. Participants meet in their TAM group for an immersion weekend, followed by sessions held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings over a period of 8 weeks.

There are five primary components of TAM, taught in individual and small group format. These include:
  • Exercise
  • Nutrition and Diet modification
  • Stress Management: Tai Chi, Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, Mindfulness Meditation, Relaxation and Breathing Techniques
  • Group Support
