Hormonal imbalances can affect your energy, sleep, mood, and metabolism. Whether you’re experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause, you don’t have to accept these symptoms as a part of aging. Finding a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) with a functional, food-first approach can help identify the underlying factors contributing to hormone imbalance.
Perimenopause, the transitional stage leading up to menopause, can cause hormone levels to fluctuate significantly. These hormonal changes often begin years before menstrual cycles stop and can cause symptoms that interfere with daily life. Many women experience weight gain, brain fog, fatigue, mood shifts, and insomnia. Rather than assuming weight gain or fatigue is simply due to getting older, Cheryl evaluates how changes in hormone levels, nutrition, stress, or other metabolic factors contribute to your symptoms. Identifying these underlying influences allows for a more personalized treatment plan that supports hormone balance while helping you feel your best.
During menopause, declining hormone levels often affect metabolism and body composition. Most women deal with hot flashes, weight gain, sleep disturbances, brain fog, and reduced energy. Cheryl will evaluate your symptoms and can create individualized nutrition and lifestyle strategies that help support healthy blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being. Sustainable changes in nutrition, movement, and daily habits can significantly improve symptoms and quality of life.
Hormone changes continue after menopause, making long-term health a priority. Cheryl helps women focus on healthy weight management, bone health, muscle preservation, and ongoing metabolic wellness. Maintaining lean muscle through adequate protein intake and regular strength training supports metabolism, strength, and healthy aging.
Hormone health is influenced by nutrition, stress, sleep, digestion, and lifestyle. Cheryl believes in addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than simply managing them. Her goal is to help women improve hormone balance through realistic, sustainable changes that support lifelong wellness. When appropriate, Cheryl may recommend DUTCH Testing to gain a more complete picture of hormone health. This advanced assessment evaluates hormone metabolism, estrogen metabolism, and adrenal hormones connected to cortisol patterns to identify potential imbalances that may not appear on standard lab work. The results help guide personalized recommendations that address each woman’s unique needs.

Yes. Personalized nutrition counseling can help identify food sensitivities/triggers, reduce digestive symptoms, and support the gut microbiome. It can help address symptoms related to issues such as SIBO, GERD, acid reflux, or IBS.
Not everyone will require advanced testing. When necessary, Cheryl may recommend advanced testing to evaluate digestive function, gut bacteria, microbiome diversity, infections, or parasites. This process provides a better understanding of underlying issues contributing to gut health.
