A Little Bit About Me.

How I Took Back Control of My Health—And How I’m Helping Women Over 35 Do the Same

Education Over Restriction

Women have been misled by diet culture for too long. Instead of fearing food or chasing quick fixes, I teach how metabolism, hormones, and gut health actually work, so you can make informed choices that last.

Nourishment, Not Punishment

Your body isn’t the enemy. Food should heal, not harm, and exercise should build strength, not drain you. Sustainable health comes from supporting your body, not depriving it. 

Work With Your Body,

Not Against It

Women’s bodies change with age, hormones, and life stages. Instead of fighting biology, I help you sync your nutrition, movement, and lifestyle to work with your natural rhythms for lasting vitality. 

I'm Mariela

I’m Mariela Escobar, a certified health coach, holistic nutritionist, and fitness specialist. As a mother of three and lifelong athlete, I’ve always valued wellness, but my journey took a turn when my family moved to the U.S. Despite exercising and eating well, I faced unexplained fatigue, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances.

Determined to find answers, I immersed myself in the science of metabolism, hormones, and gut health, uncovering the real reasons behind modern health struggles. Today, I’m in the best shape of my life—not because of extreme diets or endless workouts, but because I learned how to work with my body, not against it.

I created Wellness by Mariela to empower women with real, science-backed health solutions—cutting through misinformation and offering sustainable strategies for lasting vitality.

This is My Story.

For most of my life, staying fit was effortless—until it wasn’t. After moving to the U.S., my energy plummeted, my metabolism slowed, and my family’s health started to suffer. I tried every diet and fitness trend, but nothing worked. The harder I pushed, the worse I felt.

I refused to accept that "this is just aging." Instead, I dug deeper, discovering how toxins, processed foods, and stress disrupt hormones and metabolism. As I applied what I learned, my body transformed. My energy returned, my health stabilized, and I knew I had to share this knowledge.

Women everywhere are struggling with the same issues, blaming themselves for what’s actually a broken system of bad health advice. My mission is to change that—to teach women how to reclaim their health without gimmicks, without suffering, and without feeling lost.

My Approach

 I don’t believe in quick fixes—I believe in understanding your body and making informed choices.

My approach is built on:

Education over restriction – Ditch the diet mentality and learn how metabolism and hormones actually work.
Nourishment, not punishmentPrioritizing whole foods, gut health, and natural detoxification for sustainable wellness.
Muscle is medicine – Strength training is key for fat loss, hormonal balance, and longevity.
Hormone sync – Women aren’t small men—our health strategies should align with our unique biological rhythms.
Real-life solutions – Health should enhance your life, not complicate it. Small, consistent habits create lasting change.

Women don’t need another fad diet—they need a new way of thinking about health. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start transforming, let’s do this the right way, for life.
