It just knocks you out so you can be asleep long enough for the migraine to run its course. And then I sent out lab work, separate from my insurance to test for a celiac diagnosis. There's a large margin of error, and so when I got those test results back that I outsourced on my own, it came back that I have celiac disease, that I am also intolerant to casein and soy.
Mary Shenouda, known to many as the Paleo Chef, joins Festus Ezeli on 'Rebuilding the Beast' to share her remarkable journey from battling chronic migraines to becoming a renowned private chef. Her story starts in the second grade, where unexplained headaches plagued her childhood and led to countless ER visits and skepticism from teachers. Despite the pain, Mary pressed on, eventually discovering at 25 that she was Celiac.
This diagnosis was a turning point, allowing her to take control of her health through diet changes. Mary's transformation didn't go unnoticed. Her coworkers saw the positive changes and asked her to cook for them, sparking a new chapter in her life. She talks about how meeting celebrity chef Tyler Florence encouraged her to leave her corporate job and dive into the culinary world. Mary also discusses creating Phat Fudge, a product that has gained a loyal following.
In this episode, Mary and Festus cover a range of topics including overcoming health struggles, understanding food intolerances, and optimizing performance through nutrient testing. They also touch on debunking myths about the paleo diet and the challenges of building a successful business from scratch. Mary's story is not just about food; it's about resilience and finding your path even when life throws you curveballs. Tune in for an engaging conversation filled with practical advice and inspiring moments.
