Tammy and Anthony Cabrera have opened Healthy Lifestyle Wellness Center off Campbell Station Road and hope to help area residents feel and look their best.
“We basically want to make you feel better and look better and we’re customized to each individual,” Tammy said.
Healthy Lifestyle Wellness Center offers nutrition and exercise counseling, weight loss solutions and “medical aesthetics,” including Botox and Juvederm.
“We are a medically based clinic,” Tammy, a nurse practitioner, said. Her husband and business co-owner, Anthony, is an MD and works at The University of Tennessee Medical Center.
Health Lifestyle is the only office in the area to offer I-Lipo, a “safe alternative to liposuction” that uses lasers, Tammy said.
“It’s totally non-invasive and you can spot-treat with it,” she added. Where liposuction invasively cuts and removes fat cells, I-Lipo deflates the cells and encourages the fat to drain through the body’s lymphatic system.

Meredith Layton and The Cup
Allison Sousa - Thu, Feb, 2, 2012
What began as a Thanksgiving discussion between two sisters resulted in Farragut’s The Cup.
Meredith Layton and Ericka Frank began plotting The Cup’s Knoxville presence one Thanksgiving several years ago. Frank — who owns bakeries in Missouri and Illinois — began talking with the naturally entrepreneurial Layton about cupcakes being the next “big thing.”
From one Oak Ridge test kitchen to the first all-cupcake bakery in Knoxville later, it was time to come to Farragut.
“From the time we opened in Bearden we had customers from Farragut,” said Layton. “They were always asking us to open here.”
Layton admits that she was initially hesitant about the idea. “The buzz was that starting a business here was really hard,” she said. “We were told it’d take longer and there’d be lots of hoops to jump through.”
