Taryn McDougold, BSN, CFN

Taryn graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from UMaine in 2012. Through her experience working as a Registered Nurse and Licensed Massage Therapist for many years, she has always been dedicated to helping others find their path to wellness. Her journey with health issues since 12 years old, and a severe diagnosis of Crohn’s at the age of 17, has given her a deeply personal understanding of the physical, mental, and emotional challenges associated with the disease that can impact one’s life. Having tried many approaches to manage her symptoms including every class of medication, she persevered to heal her body naturally, become med-free, and through the support of CCL, was able to gain a more in-depth understanding and healing of her root cause issues. Taryn is also a certified functional nutritionist and is passionate about sharing her knowledge and experience with others, providing them with the strategies to help them heal their symptoms, achieve their goals, and ultimately live their best lives.

"I joined the program in November of last year. I'm a mom of 5 busy kids. I was diagnosed with UC in July 2022 and relied on Mesalamine to control symptoms. When that didn't work well I was given the Mesalamine enemas. When that didn't work I was given Imuran and the word biologics started getting thrown around. I knew that those drugs were doing other things to me and I knew there had to be a better way. After hemming and hawing longer than I should I have, I joined the SHIELD program. And I'm so thankful I did. After working with Coach Taryn for just 3 months I am symptom free. Went from constant blood and mucus and frustrating fatigue, fear, worry, food restrictions, urgency, weight loss, to ZERO symptoms currently and an ever expanding diet. This program has been such a huge success for me and I'm so thankful for it, for Dane's hard work in creating it, for Taryn's help in implementing everything, and for the results. I feel like I have my life back and my kids have their mom back, and my husband has his wife back. Looking forward to continuing the protocols, furthering my healing and staying connected with those who understand what it's like. Thanks again!"

"Our family contacted the Crohn's and Colitis Lifestyle organization in December 2023 due to our 14 year old daughter being in a recent flare with her Ulcerative Colitis. She had been relatively stable for almost 2 years while on Remicade infusions. Due to her flare, her GI doctor wanted to put her on a second strong medication with a variety of potential side effects. After reading about CCL and watching the testimonials, we elected to begin private coaching with Coach Taryn rather than adding another medication. Coach Taryn and the private coaching was one of the most important things we did for our daughter and our family. Taryn provided us hope first and foremost. Hope that things would improve and our daughter would start to feel better without the side effects of harsh medications. Taryn was also honest with us that this is a journey and will be a bit overwhelming at times, but she was always there to help. Because the private coaches have all been in this same position at some point in their life, the amount of empathy and understanding was something we had never seen when dealing with UC. Taryn was able to explain what was happening and the ways our daughter would heal. Taryn heard our daughter when she said she felt overwhelmed by the amount of supplements and we switched some to be in powder form with the same effect. Taryn understood our daughter's lifestyle of being a very busy athlete who travels extensively for these sports. Taryn provided ways to travel with supplements and enemas along with food options and snacks to support her athletic needs. The ability to meet regularly, via electronically face to face, allowed us to share what had improved or continued symptoms in order to make in the moment changes and adjustments. The private coaching that CCL provided saved the mental and physical health of our daughter and our family. It is now November 2024 and our daughter's lab results have been stable while continuing the protocols and paths that private coaching and Taryn provided on our own. Our family cannot express how appreciative we are with CCL, private coaching and especially Coach Taryn."

"I had my routine colonoscopy this morning and am so happy to report that I am in remission. No signs of inflammation in the entire colon! CCL has completely changed my life. When I started the program in April my goal was to finally find the breakthrough I was looking for. I have lived with UC for over 21 years and have never had a scope look this good. I was told that biologics were the only way to heal and that natural medicine could never help me. But we continue to prove otherwise. CCL and coach Taryn helped me find the lifestyle changes I needed to get to where I am now and I am so thankful. For anyone out there that is currently struggling and feeling lost or like you aren’t seeing the results you want right now, don’t give up. You can do this. Don’t stop believing in yourself and what you have the power to do."
