Meet Cheryl

With 28 years as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and specialized training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, my mission is to help you address the root causes of digestive and other chronic health issues through a root-cause whole-body approach — so you can reclaim your health and quality of life.
My Story
After years of seeking relief through conventional treatments, I found no solution for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Rhinitis, or Interstitial Cystitis (IC). Despite my expertise as a dietitian, I realized that managing these conditions through diet alone was insufficient. I continued to suffer from debilitating flare-ups that incapacitated me for days. The prospect of enduring this for the rest of my life was unbearable. Determined, I sought to understand why my body was reacting that way and give it what it needed for true healing.
Thankfully, my answers came as I trained in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, an advanced, evidence-based, systems-biology approach to health and healing that emphasizes addressing chronic conditions by leaning into root causes. Not masking symptoms.
I learned how to use functional lab testing to identify physiological and biochemical imbalances affecting health and studied the latest research in supplements and nutrigenomics, deepening my understanding of personalized health solutions.
This specialty training provided me with the insights and expertise necessary to effectively tackle my chronic conditions, profoundly enhancing my health, well-being, and quality of life.
My Life-Changing Discovery
Armed with health-empowering tools, I followed the breadcrumbs of my health history and discovered that one of the issues affecting my gut was Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), its downstream impacts, and the upstream factors that caused it in the first place.
I peeled back the layers and addressed my imbalances, using functional labs, food as medicine, lifestyle change, and targeted practitioner-grade supplements.
