Food and Therapeutic Diet Solutions for Women with Autoimmune Disease and Chronic Illness. Are you a woman with autoimmune disease or chronic illness? Are you so tired of feeling tired and going to doctor after doctor and trying the different naturopathic methods, all the different diets, and literally nothing sticking? Nothing is helping you? Autoimmune Disease and Chronic Illness are difficult to navigate and you’re often doing it on your own. Doctors can test, maybe diagnose, and medicate, but what they can’t do is help you when you’re at home, living it out. I’m here for you friend. Hi! I’m Marian Mitchell Byous, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. For the past 9 years, I’ve specialized in working with people who were struggling with complex chronic health conditions helping them regain their health through food and therapeutic diet solutions. I’ve been on the diet rollercoaster trying to heal myself and my family too. I’ve done every major dietary lifestyle out there trying to heal my migraines, psoriasis, ongoing GI issues, acne, and insanely painful periods. When my dad was diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis and my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I knew I had to make living healthy realistic, simple, and enjoyable. I wanted all of us to live symptom-free and feel like we’re able to participate in all of life. It had to be easy or it wouldn’t happen. That became my mission. My realistic approach to therapeutic diets and food is unique. I know that you have a life. You aren’t just your disease (or multiple diseases). You have a job, a partner, a family, obligations, friends, parties, and places to go explore. You’re already tired and feel awful, you can’t live in your kitchen, spend $1500 a month on food and supplements, and never go out. The last thing you need is to add a super restrictive diet that leaves you hungry, tired, and stressed out. Getting healthy should not be miserable and it doesn’t have to be. I’m excited to share with you my heart and passion for making eating different and living healthy effortless. It truly can be! It’s all about being strategic and realistic while focusing on the positive. You have SO much in your control! In fact, diet and lifestyle account for 80% of your health outcomes! I want you to feel empowered and excited for your road to regaining your health and feeling amazing again. Time to grab your kombucha and notebook, let’s dive in!

One of the biggest struggles my clients have is finding a personal trainer who won't push them too hard, won't injure them, will listen to them, and respect the specialized diet they need to follow. Joey McDonald is the Founder of Fitness Collective, an affordable personal training facility I have personally used and highly respect.
In this episode, Joey and I talk about my struggles personally and professionally with personal trainers, his journey to starting Fitness Collective, how they interview trainers to find high-quality trainers, and more. You will walk away from this interview with your own interview blueprint to find a personal trainer who will meet you where you're at, won't push you so hard your symptoms flare up, and will be on your team.

Astaxanthin (Asta-zan-than) is a powerful compound found on a humble algae that has been scientifically proven to treat cancer, reverse Parkinson's symptoms (and stop its progression), and reverse all chronic inflammatory diseases. Samuel Shepherd, a biochemical engineer who was faced with the diagnosis of an untreatable cancer, decided death was not going to take him just yet and used every tool at his disposal to become cancer-free. Now his research can help you with your chronic illness, whether it's autoimmune, mold, histamine, leaky gut, heavy metal toxicity, heart disease, dementia, or cancer.
He shares with us in a truly easy to understand form the biochemical reason we develop disease and how astaxanthin treats the root cause. I truly loved this interview and I'm thrilled that it's the first episode of the year.

Tracking your calories gets exhausting quickly. No one wants to do it forever. When people stop tracking they find the scale starts to slowly climb back up. Then the cycle starts all over again. It doesn't have to be this way!! I am sharing exactly how to eat in a way that doesn't cause weight gain and doesn't require logging every bite that goes into your mouth.

The Holidays have the potential to be so fun...or incredibly lonely. When we have chronic illness and/or food allergies and have to eat differently than those around us, the Holidays feel isolating and lonely, but they don't have to! This is a short coaching session on how to invite others into our world and then through that invitation, enjoy the Holidays together with offense or making ourselves ill in the process.
