“I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes more than a decade ago. My doctor handed me a two-page photocopy of basic diet information and prescribed Metformin, along with medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. Fast forward to this year—my bloodwork showed that my diabetes was no longer well controlled by Metformin. The doctor’s solution was simply more medication. During the same visit, he mentioned I might be anemic but couldn’t confirm it because he had forgotten to order the iron test. Unbelievable.
I reached out to Cherie, and she ordered comprehensive blood panels to gain a clearer picture of what was going on. Once the results came in, she carefully reviewed them alongside my intake information. We met over video to discuss the findings, their possible implications, and what might be contributing to my imbalances. More importantly, we talked through realistic lifestyle changes—nutrition, sleep, daily walking, resistance training, and supplements—all with thoughtful explanations behind each recommendation. She also encouraged me to try a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) so I could better understand how different foods affected my blood sugar.
I took everything Cherie recommended to heart, and eight weeks later, I’ve lost over 25 pounds, four inches from my waist, and my CGM data shows my estimated A1c dropped from 7.7 to 5.9. Wow! My lifestyle changes have given me more energy, and as we continue working together, I’m hopeful that my doctor will gradually reduce some of my medications.
Throughout our work together, Cherie impressed me with her deep understanding of blood test patterns, possible root causes, and ways to support balance naturally. The information she provided was far more comprehensive than anything my doctors have explained in the past 20 years. I’m excited to keep working with her as I continue to rebuild my health and mend a lifetime of poor eating habits.”
