WHO WE WORK WITH

Women whose labs are normal but have daily symptoms of fatigue, bloating, and more.

Women who have tried AIP, the Low FODMAP and other elimination diets without meaningful results.

Women who want to make peace with food and their bodies, so they can eat without restriction and fear.

And women who feel like they can’t possibly be doing all this work just to barely keep their head above water. They know a solution is possible, but they’ve used all the tools in their toolbox.

Annie

Came in with: extreme bloating and food sensitivities, mood changes associated with PMS.

“I was consistently happy and rarely irritable. I felt, and still feel, like I have a grasp on my quality of life. Even once I reintroduced the foods I thought I might never be able to again, my symptoms were, and still are, practically gone. This means I can eat freely (within reason), indulge when I feel the occasional craving, and not feel physically terrible after I do.”

Yuli

Came in with: low energy, IBS

“[Mariu] heard my concerns and created a plan that I could follow and felt comfortable with. I was able to see/feel the changes in my health, both mental and physical.”

OUR APPROACH

WE UNDERSTAND

There’s a gap in the healthcare system: conventional doctors aren’t trained to find the root cause, nor to support individuals with preventative, food-as-medicine approaches.

Nutritional Therapy works by supporting the body’s natural natural rhythm using nutrition, therapeutic supplementation, and lifestyle changes.


WE LISTEN

The conventional approach is quick to dismiss patient’s symptoms and to invalidate their experience. It overly relies on normal average blood test results to inform the next steps, which is normally limited to medication.

At Nutritional Therapy with Mariu Cabral, we see and listen to our clients. Their lived experience comes first, lab results second. The result? a collaborative environment, high satisfaction, and greater results.


WE CARE

The conventional approach focuses on medication, ongoing food restriction, and offers zero support.

Nutritional Therapy with Mariu Cabral supports you through the entirety of your gut healing journey. You will receive a structured gut-healing plan, know exactly what foods to eat and to avoid, and receive support in between sessions.

  • Mariu is great to work with!

    She works with you to tailor a program that is effective and fits your lifestyle. She really cares and that's what really matters! I have been working with Mariu for years and she has had a very positive impact on my health and life!

  • She’s an excellent and truly professional Nutritional Therapist.

    In our first video consultation, she listened to me. I told her everything I’d been through, and she created a three-month recovery plan with a balanced diet and natural supplements that gave me my health back.
    She followed my progress closely through her online portal and video check-ins.
    Thanks to her, I can now enjoy my favorite foods again without discomfort. I’m back to living normally. She taught me how to eat in a way that’s nutritious, balanced, and delicious — and it still includes my favorite treats.

Came in with: hormonal imbalances, bloating, and nausea.

“Stabilized mood, energy through the day, I can eat now without getting bloated or excessively burping, my skin is shiny and hydrated… Oh my! So many things! I have my libido back.”

Clarabelle

Came in with: Hashimoto’s, IBS-C, and weight gain.

“I have been following Mariu for years & have learned so much through her instagram alone. I trusted she would have my best interest at heart. I had been to multiple doctors, all telling me I was fine & that my symptoms were due to my being a woman. I did not feel heard or seen. Mariu changed that, through providing resources, relatable content, & creating a personalized program for me.”

“After this program I’m living my life as if I never had chronic gastritis”

  • No (and that's the point). This isn't another Low FODMAP, elimination-forever approach where the "safe" list keeps shrinking.

    Our method targets the real root cause instead of cutting out everything just in case, so any restriction is temporary, strategic, and as minimal as possible — because food isn't just medicine, it's connection. The goal was never a smaller plate. It's getting your favorites back

  • Most clients start noticing shifts within the first 2 weeks. Whether it’s better digestion, less bloating, or more energy. Lasting healing typically takes 3-6 months, depending on the severity of your symptoms and your consistency with the plan.

  • The coaching program is a high-touch, personalized experience designed to help you fully heal your gut. Because every client’s needs are different, pricing varies based on the level of support required. Plans start at $497/month

Are you ready to eat the foods you actually love — without the bloat, the reflux, or the next-day regret? To bring coffee, wine, and your favorite meals back into your life, and know precisely what's triggering your symptoms instead of guessing and eliminating forever?
