About TLC

Tara L. Caden—affectionately known as TLC—is fueled by passion, purpose, and an unwavering love for life. She pours her heart and soul into everything she does, whether it’s helping others thrive, creating nourishing foods, or embracing new challenges.
As a lifelong athlete, Tara discovered her love for fitness at 14, leading to a dynamic journey through personal training, nutrition coaching, and competitive sports. She thrives on pushing her limits—whether playing beach volleyball, cycling for miles, hitting the gym, or her newest obsession—playing pickleball. Whether competing or just enjoying the game, she’s all in!

After welcoming her fourth child, Tara took on her boldest challenge yet—stepping onto the bikini competition stage at 41. She conquered her fears, embraced the process, and went on to compete in nine shows, earning six first-place trophies. Through her journey, she mastered the art of cooking clean, proving that indulgence can be both healthy and delicious.

High Quality Cheats since 2022

This passion led to the birth of Tara’s Luscious Cheats (TLC) in 2022—a line of guilt-free treats made with pure, wholesome ingredients. If you’re lucky enough to be in her world, expect to be surprised with her latest creations—each one created to satisfy cravings without compromise.
As a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, Tara blends her knowledge of holistic wellness, mindful eating, and personalized health strategies to help others cultivate vibrant, balanced lives. She believes that true health starts from the inside out—feeding the body with clean ingredients, moving in ways that bring joy, and embracing life with confidence.

Beyond fitness and food, Tara is a gifted artist (#drawingsbytara), channeling creativity into everything she touches—from drawing stunning portraits to sculpting bodies through coaching. Her dedication to teaching, inspiring, and empowering people is backed by degrees in psychology and cross-cultural education, along with her teaching credentials.

Most importantly, Tara is a proud mother of four incredible kids and a firm believer that health, happiness, and passion should be at the heart of everything we do.
