Neuroscience, Nourishment + Natural Body Healing

“Yes, we can, return Alzheimer’s to the rare disease it once was.”
Dr. Dale Bredesen, MD

Discover the unique ways that neuroscience and metabolic health are foundational to the End of Alzheimer’s Protocol, also known as the Bredesen Protocol … and why and how this simply better way of living delivers RESULTS that repair, rejuvenate, and keep your brain resilient and healthy at any age.

Hi, I’m Mary Lou, the Women’s Brain Health Expert. I spread the Good News About Alzheimer’s that it’s Reversible and Preventable.

Through our work together and my focused mission to serve you from where you’re at right now, I …

Empower Women … Two-thirds of people with Alzheimer’s are women. We can be the warrior tribe that puts an end to Alzheimer’s.
Bring Hope + Healing to families who have a history of cognitive decline … You can be the generation in your family that puts an end to Alzheimer’s.
Be Your Trusted Brain Health Resource that eliminates mis- and dis-information and brings clarity to the latest in neuroscience and metabolic health to support you in your quest for optimal and lifelong brain health.

I do my best work with women in their 40s with a family history of Alzheimer’s, overcome their fear, anxiety, and overwhelm of the disease and get to a place of calm and curiosity so they can adopt the simple lifestyle steps of healing and prevention.

I never set out to be a Brain Health Expert and Educator.

After a series of life events, my own health challenges and discoveries about my own family’s history with cognitive decline have led me to a place where I can use my challenges to present you with new opportunities and real natural body healing.

Testimonials

As an OB-GYN, I appreciated how Mary Lou guided me to many resources and reading suggestions. All were beneficial in understanding the food landscape so I could make lasting, meaningful changes that worked for me and my young daughter within the day-to-day life of being a physician.

Nancy, Australia

Mary Lou helped me learn how to make changes that work for me when my stress levels pop up instead of avoiding them or using food to soothe them. Mary Lou really helped me get out of my old ‘people pleasing’ ways. She reminded me so many times to be gentle with myself. I needed to hear that a lot.

Karolina, France

Mary Lou is kind, tender hearted and caring in her lessons. We got to discuss our strong faiths together and bring God into our discussion and coaching sessions. She is very knowledgeable about how food is packaged and how it works in the brain and body (fats, carbs, proteins).

Hannah, Texas

It was extremely helpful for me that Mary Lou focuses on clarity of the issue at hand and practical ways to move forward. In doing this she does not set expectations or deadlines. She very much supports an environment of growth and not perfection.

Monique, Belgium

Mary Lou has a warm and supportive approach. I always felt understood and accepted, whatever I would say. Her coaching style and approach has helped me clarify my long-term goals AND that seamlessly combines forgiveness for missteps and the human course of change which is not always linear.

Sara, Australia

I felt Mary Lou and I connected very strongly and I could rely on her to be empathic. I really appreciated Mary Lou’s gentle guidance and the way she could ask questions that would open up new ways of thinking for me. I saw huge changes in myself and Mary Lou supported me every step of the way.

Victoria, England

My Stress Management and Self-Compassion have GREATLY improved after my coaching experience with Mary Lou. Before coaching with Mary Lou, I used food for coping, comfort and joy. After my coaching with Mary Lou, I now process and face my problems and emotions. Food is not my happiness. Sugar is not my food! Sugar is not controlling my life!

Jennifer, Minnesota
