Summary

Themes: Nutrition, the Microbiome, Relationships, Health + Wellness Summary: Mary Shenouda is a highly sought-after performance chef and specialist with clients including both professional athletes and Hollywood entertainers. Shenouda is also the creator and founder of Phat Fudge, a high-performance food line of her own formulation. After almost two decades suffering from debilitating “mystery” illnesses that doctors seemed unable to explain and prescription drugs failed to solve, Mary took matters into her own hands. Devoting years of dogged, personal research into the foods she was putting into her body, Shenouda decided to change the way she ate and was able to reverse her condition within months. This new lease on life would lead her to abandon a career in tech and start a performance-focused, private chef and consulting practice. Working with a team of nutritionists, doctors, physical therapists, and performance technologies, Mary is able to identify and curate the specific nutritional needs, for a diverse roster of high-performing clients. Having done her Gut Reset program three times myself, I wanted to have Mary on the show to discuss the gut, human performance and the link between nutrition and good relationships. How does the food we feed our body affect emotional regulation and our overall wellbeing? Join me as we explore the mind-gut connection and how to embrace your health goals in a compassionate way. Discover: How your relationships influence your GI health An approach to health and wellness based on self-compassion Mary’s gut reset protocol to promote lower inflammation, better sleep and improved digestion How Mary healed her coeliac disease through food and lifestyle changes The series of events that led to Mary leaving the corporate world and becoming a private chef Links: paleochef.com Phat Fudge Instagram/Twitter: @paleochef 7 Day Gut Reset Sponsors: Organifi | Use code CREATETHELOVE for 20% off all products at organifi.com/createthelove House of Wise Co. | Use code CREATETHELOVEBOGO to get one free box of gummies when you buy one box at houseofwise.co Create the Love Cards | Use code CTLCARDS15 for 15% off at createthelove.com/cards Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mark Grove's podcast.
0:11.2	You know, I don't really do anything sort of half-ass, you know, and that's a good thing, right?
0:16.5	Because like when I go all in on something, I'm like all fucking in.
0:20.3	You know, they say put your full
0:21.6	ass in. And I feel that way, about a lot of things. But I also kind of go all ass in on anything, too,
0:29.4	that's not good for me. So like there's a good reason I've never done cocaine because I'd still
0:34.5	be doing cocaine probably like all ass in, you know.
0:37.9	And I've really been exploring my relationship to food, like diving deeper into it,
0:43.5	my relationship to sugar, my relationship to any stimulants of any kinds.
0:48.5	And, you know, you likely have heard I did an episode about my relationship to alcohol

1:12.5	the earth without being fucking mashed together and coming out like plastic, but plastic that tastes
1:17.2	real damn good. There's something about that, that my body just thrives, you know, and I hate to say
1:23.7	it, but like I feel way better when I'm not eating bread. But fuck I love bread. Like,
1:30.2	how can you not love a piece of toasted sourdough with some butter? I mean, damn, or like
1:36.1	pizza or, you know, like all of it is so damn good. And I'm really like navigating balance,
1:43.2	you know, this space between. How do I not go all in,
1:46.3	but I like find this space between where I have a healthy relationship to the things. And, you know,
1:52.7	I know what Ram Dass talks about how like there, there's, it's not like more pure to be a horny
