Hi, I’m Marlise.
I help women in midlife with autoimmune issues stop guessing about their health, uncover the root causes of their symptoms, and feel like themselves again.
“I JUST DON’T FEEL LIKE MYSELF ANYMORE.”
I remember saying that to myself over and over.
A few years earlier, I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Autoimmune Thyroiditis. Through diet, lifestyle changes, and the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), I had worked hard to regain my health. I finally felt like I understood my body and what it needed.
Then everything changed.
• My energy disappeared.
• My hair started thinning.
• My patience grew shorter.
• The weight kept creeping up.
• Even more confusing, my blood sugar and
insulin levels were rising despite the fact
that I wasn’t eating any differently.
At the time, I didn’t realize I was entering perimenopause. I just knew that the things that had worked before weren’t working anymore.
I kept wondering:
What am I doing wrong?
So, I did the best thing I knew to do. I worked harder.
I restricted my diet even more, exercised longer and harder, tried new supplements, and searched for answers.
Nothing seemed to help.
The harder I pushed, the worse I felt.
The Turning Point
One day, a friend told me about her own health journey. Similar to me, she had been struggling with a list of very confusing symptoms and had been frustrated when doctors kept telling her everything looked “normal.” Her shift came when she worked with a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) Practitioner who used functional testing to uncover what was really happening beneath the surface.
That conversation changed everything for me.
I found my own FDN Practitioner and started looking at my health through a completely different lens.
Instead of chasing symptoms, I began uncovering root causes.
Functional lab testing gave me answers that years of guessing never could.
And as I addressed those underlying imbalances, things started to shift.
• My energy returned.
• My blood sugar stabilized.
• My hair loss slowed.
• The stubborn weight finally started moving.
But more importantly, I stopped feeling confused and overwhelmed.
I finally felt like I had a plan—and control over my health again.
Why I Do This Work Today
As my health improved, friends and family started asking for my advice with their own symptoms and struggles.
They were tired of guessing.
Tired of being told everything was fine when they clearly didn’t feel fine.
They wanted answers.
I wanted to help, but I knew I needed more than my own experience.
That’s what led me to become a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Certified Life and Business Coach, and Certified AIP Coach.
Today, I help women in perimenopause and postmenopause with autoimmune symptoms, low energy, stubborn weight gain, inflammation, blood sugar issues, and hormone changes, uncover what’s really driving their health challenges.
Because feeling exhausted, frustrated, and disconnected from yourself shouldn’t be accepted as a normal part of getting older.
How I Help
My approach combines functional lab testing, personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies, and supportive coaching to help you understand what your body is trying to tell you.
Together, we’ll:
• Identify potential hidden stressors and imbalances contributing to your symptoms
• Create a personalized plan based on your body’s unique needs
• Build sustainable habits that fit your real life
• Address the mindset and behavior patterns that often keep women feeling stuck
No extreme protocols.
No endless guessing.
Just a clear path forward.
You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone
If you’ve been told your labs are normal, but you know something isn’t right…
If you’re exhausted despite doing “all the right things”…
If you’ve started wondering whether this is simply what getting older feels like…
I want you to know that your body can give us clues if you just know where to look.
And you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
Let’s Start With a Conversation
The first step is simple.
If you’re dealing with ongoing symptoms like fatigue, hormone shifts, inflammations, or autoimmune concerns–and you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you will don’t feel like yourself–you don’t have to keep guessing.
I offer an Autoimmune and Hormone Clarity Discovery Session, where we take a deeper look at what’s actually driving your symptoms and begin mapping out what your body is tryin to communicate. This is where we move beyond confusion and start getting real direction.
If you’re read for clarity and a more root-cause approach to your health, you can book your session here.
