Marian was once an overweight kid, confused about how food impacted her physical and mental health, and struggling to feel at home in her body. At the age of 13, Marian stumbled upon a startling truth- that some of the foods she ate every single day were making her sick. After removing these foods from her diet, her body transformed seemingly overnight, and over the next decade her health and fitness transformed as well. When her first daughter was born with eczema and life threatening food allergies, Marian knew she had more to learn, and was inspired to return to school to study holistic nutrition. She studied with some of the world's leading names in nutrition, including Dr. Mark Hyman, and developed a more robust understanding of the role that diet and healthy lifestyle habits play in improving overall health and wellness. 

​

Eventually, Marian saw that food and health systems stood in the way each individual's ability to access healthy food. She returned to school to study Public Health, and Health Policy. Marian worked as a research assistant in the Nutritional Neuroscience Lab, and came to understand how diet impacts not only the health of the body in general, but mental health and neurological function. This information has become a critical component of the way Marian approaches health coaching and dietary changes.

​

Marian sees how things are connected, from food systems to healthcare systems, and from the gut microbiome to a wide variety of symptoms throughout the body. She specializes in complex health issues that stem from issues in the microbiome, including digestive illness and autoimmune issues. Marian is passionate about helping individuals learn to use food to empower themselves and improve their health, and to better understand the role that their diet is playing in their overall health. Her scientific training, and policy training, have taught her to explore the scientific literature, and connect the dots between seemingly disparate, complex, frustrating health issues.
