Doing Everything Right. Still Feeling Like Crap?
You're not new to taking care of yourself.
You know how to work hard. You've built healthy habits. You understand the importance of nutrition, movement, and sleep.
But lately, the effort isn't matching the results.
Your energy crashes before your day is over.
Your sleep isn't as restorative as it used to be
Your body composition seems to have changed the rules
Your brain feels foggy when you need to be sharp
Your mood, motivation, or patience isn't what it used to be
And you're starting to wonder whether this is simply what getting older feels like.
It doesn't have to be something you simply accept.
Your symptoms deserve attention, and your health deserves a more personalized approach.
Your Life Isn't Slowing Down. Why Should You Have To?
You're still showing up for everyone and everything.
But what happens when you have less and less capacity left for yourself?
You skip the workout you used to love. You turn down plans because you're exhausted. You spend the weekend recovering instead of enjoying it.
And somewhere along the way, you start adjusting your expectations of what life after 45 is supposed to look like.
You didn't work this hard to build a great life just to watch it from the couch.
Your health should support what's next, not be the reason you hold back.
I Get It. Because I'm Living It Too.
I'm Mary Catalognaa Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, certified Health Coach, corporate executive, working mother, and Ironman finisher.
I understand what it means to juggle a demanding career, family responsibilities, and ambitious personal goals.
I also understand how frustrating it is when you're doing the things that used to work, but your body isn't responding the same way.
That's why I believe in looking beyond generic wellness advice.
My approach combines functional health education, comprehensive assessments, targeted testing when appropriate, and practical coaching designed for real life.
Because the goal isn't to hand you another impossible routine.
It's to help you understand your health, rebuild your capacity, and keep doing the things that make you feel alive.
Be Gutsy as a Mother.

CEO - Working Mom
“I was doing all the right things. Following every “weight loss” rule book, mastering 178 Peloton rides in record time but constantly hitting the wall when it came to losing a pound. It wasn’t until I tested and uncovered food sensitivities and imbalances in my gut and hormones that I finally found what was blocking my body from shedding the weight, bloating, and sleeping like a baby. Following Mary's Programs broke the vicious cycle and years of frustration. It's a 5-star investment!”

“In one week of doing Mary's program I felt great, bloating gone and down 2 lbs. I wasn't starving and didn't feel deprived. The quick fix put me back on track ."
Stop Guessing. Start Connecting the Dots.
Your body isn't a collection of disconnected symptoms.
Sleep, stress, nutrition, digestion, hormonal transitions, physical activity, and recovery can all influence how you feel.
That's why another diet, supplement, or workout plan isn't always the answer.
Through a personalized functional health coaching approach, we'll explore your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and patterns to understand what deserves attention.
When appropriate, targeted testing and collaboration with licensed healthcare professionals can help inform next steps.
The goal isn't more information for the sake of information. It's a practical plan you can actually use.
Step 1: Let's Talk
Book your Discovery Call. We'll discuss what's frustrating you, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to change.
Step 2: Connect the Dots
We'll take a deeper look at your health history, symptoms, and lifestyle through comprehensive assessments, including the Metabolic Chaos Scorecard when appropriate
Step 3: Build Your Roadmap
Get an individualized health and lifestyle strategy, coaching, and ongoing support focused on your goals and everyday capacity.
From Running on Empty to Living With More Capacity.
BEFORE: FRUSTRATED & DISCONNECTED
You're exhausted despite doing everything right. Your body feels unpredictable. You question your habits, your motivation, and whether feeling this way is just part of aging.
AFTER: ENERGIZED & FULLY ENGAGED
You understand your health more clearly. You have a practical plan, greater confidence in your choices, and the opportunity to build the energy and resilience to pursue what matters most.
This isn't about going backward to who you were at 30.
It's about expanding what's possible at 45, 50, 60, and beyond.
