Our Story
MayanFit was born from a deeply personal journey.
After Shae was diagnosed with Lyme disease and medically separated from the US Navy because of it, years of conventional treatment and Western medicine left her desperate and searching for answers. Determined to find another path, she and her husband, Eric, discovered functional health and traveled to a specialized hospital in Mexico, where an intensive treatment program became a turning point in her health, freeing her of the Lyme that had taken her life captive.
Afterward, Shae worked with a Functional Health Practitioner who used advanced lab testing to uncover the deeper imbalances affecting her body and create a personalized plan to help restore her health. She started to get her spark back – started dancing in the kitchen, had more energy, and was finally freed from the years of bloat she had experienced.
The experience changed her life—and ultimately changed ours. Inspired by her own transformation, Shae became a Functional Health Practitioner so she could help others who feel frustrated, unheard, or stuck without answers. Shae then asked Eric to leave the military so they could build something that would change lives. Together, we created MayanFit with a simple mission: to help people uncover what may be driving their symptoms, take control of their health, and ultimately get their lives back.
For us, this isn't just a business. It's personal.

FDN-P
As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), I help clients understand the “why” behind their current state of health rather than simply chasing individual symptoms.
I specialize in helping clients overcome gut dysfunction and digestive issues, metabolic challenges, hormonal imbalances, and chronic stress-related issues. I use functional lab work to uncover root causes and break the cycle of trial and error. I empower my clients with tools and knowledge to better their health long-term through a personalized, faith-filled approach to whole body wellness.
