Hi, I’m Dr. Cheryl
I'm on a mission to help you redesign your wellness routine with a personalized plan to reach your biggest wellness goals.
I have spent the last 20 years studying the science, creating self-guided tools and fully supportive masterclass and membership with the goal of breaking down the science into simple actionable daily habits with the greatest impact on your body and health.
When you try this new redesigned wellness routine and raise your diet and wellness SCORE for just 10-days, you will feel the difference! And I promise you will never look back. You will love how you feel and how you look.
It starts with ditching the diets, stepping off the SCALE and measuring what really matters... your plate, your habits, your effort, your consistency...
Your Daily Diet & Wellness SCORE!
We know that wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress and consistency.
With over 20 years of clinical expertise, I’ve helped thousands of people just like you reshape their body and reclaim their health using proven strategies grounded in science and compassion... and yes personalized for each person.
Whether you’re struggling to reshape your body and lose stubborn body fat, or build muscle, OR BOTH, if you want to feel energized, quit feeling hungry all the time, balance your blood sugar, fix a metabolic condition, fight cancer, and reclaim your best health, OR if you seek companion support for weight loss medication like a GLP-1 to help you reduce side effects, reduce muscle loss and learn new habits and prevent rebound,
you're in the right place.
My Story:
My journey into nutrition and wellness began with a deep desire to help people live healthier, fuller lives as a registered dietitian. But when my 17-year-old daughter was diagnosed with a rare cancer and after a heartbreaking nine-month battle, I was even more motivated to learn more and help others desperately looking for answers to heal and thrive using nutrition and lifestyle medicine.
My personal and profound loss of my daughter became the driving force behind my mission to learn how to crack the code on wellness, fight cancer and heart disease head on. I wanted to find the proof that food was medicine. I wanted to research the best way to turn on our body's natural health defense with food and daily habits.
I went on to pursue my doctoral training in Clinical Nutrition at Rutgers University with the goal to learn the science of food as medicine and daily habits to fight disease. I became a nutrition scientist and clinician out to discover the 10 life-changing foods and 10 game-changing daily habits that make the biggest impact on turning on our body's natural health defense.
Next I saw the need to create a self-guided tool to help people redesign their wellness routine and out of it came"The Dr. Cheryl Diet & Wellness Score". The SCORE was designed to make it easy for people to measure what matters most... their plate, their daily habits, their progress. To celebrate their wins in making their new habits stick.
The Score helps people see the connection between raising their total daily score, as they added more of the foods and habits and celebrate the wins with reshaping their body and reclaiming their health, with results that last.
I had learned firsthand that when faced with a new scary diagnosis, we quickly become ready and willing to make the most extreme life-changing habits—but why is it many need to wait for that wake-up call to ready to invest in what matters most -- their own health. People fear they have to give up everything they love and start eating boring tasteless food and spend endless hours at the gym. Unless people have a pain point or want to lose weight, they will typically not seek care from a nutritionist or nutrition doctor.
I became determined to motivate people to invest in their health before a crisis and provide care beyond another restrictive diet. I also wanted to help those already navigating a diagnosis with a plan to fight disease head on.
My mission was to use food as medicine and turn food and lifestyle habits into powerful tools for prevention, healing, and treatment of preventable diseases. And the SCORE was my #1 tool to make this happen. The score turns the latest in nutrition science into actionable daily habits. As your daily points rise from making your new habits stick, you'll start to feel stronger and watch your body transform and your health improve with real outcomes like waist circumference dropping, blood sugar improving and your metabolic lab markers all improving. And your see the results in just 10 days of implementing your personal wellness routine with daily scores averaging 18+/20.
So it's time to ditch the diets and move the SCALE aside, and start measuring your
Diet & Wellness SCORE.
Wondering where to start?
If your ready to redesign your wellness routine and get support, inspiration along the way, you'll find it all inside the
Dr. Cheryl Wellness Membership.

A Proven Path to Transformation
I created the Diet & Wellness Score as a simple self-guided yet powerful tool to measure what's on your plate, your habits, track your progress, celebrate your wins, and build lasting habits. This 20-point metabolic health assessment measures what matters most your daily habits. It gives you a clear path to real change. It's time to step off the SCALE and start watching your daily SCORE!
Because I kept hearing the fear of having to "GIVE UP" all the good food and sweat endlessly at the gym to get health, I knew I needed to take action and make it very even easier. My beginnings of being a cookbook author and love of creating delicious food came to the front. I was time to show people how delicious these healing foods could be and they didn't have to give up all their favorite foods. To make eating health easier, I developed the Dr. Cheryl Plate meal-planning tool, which features 10 life-changing foods to build meals that nourish your body, stabilize your blood sugar, and fuel your energy. And to show how delicious the food could be,
I created the Dr. Cheryl Recipes, with the full recipe library in the membership. Because if it doesn't taste delicious to be healthy, most of you will be out after a few weeks. (Except those of you who have a scary diagnosis and unfortunately so many suffer from eating food they don't like from fear. I promise healthy food can taste amazing.)
Whether you prefer your wellness journey to include self-guided tools, or you're looking for step-by-step guidance and support, or if you want it all with expert-level personalized coaching, the Dr. Cheryl Wellness Membership is designed to for you.
