Cheryl Berkowitz - Nutrition and Lifestyle Coaching for Women

Nutritional and Lifestyle Coaching for Women of All Ages Cheryl sees clients in private practice, teaches, gives presentations, and consults with organizations.
(4)

She works with women to address health concerns and improve the quality of their lifestyle. Cheryl guides and supports her clients to shift their eating patterns, make their best food choices, understand the role stress plays in their lives, and look at the other sources of nourishment (or lack of nourishment) in their lives: work, play, physical activity, creativity and spirituality. One diet doe

s not fit all, which is why having a personal nutritional counselor is so beneficial. Cheryl is trained to sort through the vast array of dietary information, the “scientific evidence,” and “expert advice” about how to eat for proper weight and good health. She helps you determine what nutritional lifestyle is truly best for you. Many factors determine what might work for an individual at any given time. Food is more than a list of nutrient constituents. Food is energy. Food is our vital connection to Mother Earth. Food brings us together. It’s how we celebrate. It’s culture. It’s comfort. It’s pleasure. There are so many ways we can enhance and enjoy our relationship to food and eating as well as with ourselves, the eater. Cheryl’s approach is holistic and incorporates a mindfulness-based approach. She will not hand you USDA Food Pyramid based menus and wish you good luck. Instead, she starts where you are and takes you where you want to go, easily and simply, in the context of your busy real life, focusing on gentle but effective dietary and lifestyle adjustments that create deeper balance. Cheryl loves her work! Cheryl Berkowitz, CHHC is a Certified Holistic Health Counselor offering nutritional and lifestyle counseling to women of all ages.

You know the old expression "health is wealth." No matter what we’re going through or have been through with our health or that of a loved one, we know the truth of these words.

Whenever we can, it’s good to get to the bottom of our miscellaneous symptoms before an underlying issue precipitates, in some cases, into bigger problems. As an advocate for your health and wellbeing, I am offering the 21 Day Elimination Diet for this very purpose. If the timing is right for you, please join me!

I know so very well that this is a time when the thought of anything resembling deprivation may feel daunting. Haven’t we given up enough these last couple of years? But this program is a drop in the bucket and your process will be completed before you know it. I’m pretty darn sure you’re going to feel a heckuva lot better by the end of January. Imagine that! And the benefits of this short exploration may be quite significant for you.

As always in any program that I offer, we will approach the process with support, conviction, mindfulness, and lightness of being. If you need a reminder or inspiration about the success stories of previous program participants, please do take a look at client testimonials here: https://cherylberkowitz.com/all-testimonials.html

Wishing you health and renewal in the new year!

Cheryl
P.S. Tomorrow is the last day to register with an early registration discount!

I'm getting the word out about a new program I'll be offering in January, the 21 Day Elimination Diet. The long and the short of it is that many of us are experiencing myriad symptoms (e.g. bloating, heartburn/acid reflux, headaches, congestion, post-nasal drip, achy joints, insomnia, skin issues, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, anxiety/depression, and more) that are the direct result of inflammation caused by trigger foods in our daily diet that we have no idea we're reacting to. Food sensitivity or intolerance may take 24-72 hours to show up, so often we don't see the link between the food and our symptom(s). Both food sensitivity and intolerance cause systemic inflammation and either directly or indirectly impact the immune system. As inflammation is now recognized in medical science as an underlying condition in many chronic illnesses/conditions, and we know more than ever now that robust and balanced immunity is vital to our health, it's wise to address these issues sooner than later. The 21 Day Elimination Diet offers a clear pathway to identify the foods you're reacting to and sets you on the path to resolving your symptoms. Often we can resume eating our trigger foods within six months of abstinence with no further reaction to them.

All the details about the program can be found here: cherylberkowitz.com/Events.html

If you register by January 4th, there are discounts to be had!

“Cheryl creates an environment that allows for creative thinking, trust, humor and openness. It’s a pleasure to spend time brainstorming about a myriad of issues with smart, kind and perceptive women of all ages and backgrounds.”

Keri B, Philadelphia, PA

The Women's Idea Co-op is a supportive and empowering intergenerational women's advice circle happening in the virtual space.

10/05/2021

At Wednesday’s session of The Women’s Idea Co-op, questions and issues brought to the group for brainstorming included:

“My partner and I are trying to choose a new location to move to. What are all the criteria we should take into consideration?”

“I struggle with maintaining good self-care in a regular way and want to get away from the sure-fire failure of a ‘morning routine’.” How can I incorporate self-care consistently rather than falling off the wagon regularly?

“I want to get back into a career I’ve been away from for a number of years, though I’ve been working through these last years at something else. How can I work with the gap in my resume and increase my confidence about trying to re-enter something I’ve been away from?”

“I want to stop living in an apartment with all its limitations, but I’m not ready for home ownership. Are there options for expanding out of this situation and into another type of living situation that gives me more freedom?”

“I’ve started the process of self-publishing a text book in my field, but now I’m wondering if I should have gone in a different direction with publishing. Any thoughts on this based on experience?”

“I’m trying to stay informed and aware of everything going on in the world, though it’s hard to do this without feeling overwhelmed. I want to be informed enough and be an activist and make a difference around the things I feel most strongly about, but I don’t want to burn out as I have in the past doing advocacy work. Any suggestions for staying appropriately informed without overwhelming myself, and maintaining balance in the process of activism?”

The session was rich with caring attention and useful suggestions. It was great to meet new women and also see some old friends.

We'd love to meet YOU, so please consider joining us at the next session on Thursday, October 21, 7-8:30pm for brainstorming (8:30-9pm for optional networking). Use the promo code WIC1 for $5 off.

You know the old expression "live and learn?" Well, I'm doing plenty of that, especially when it comes to technology! Aaauurrgghh! I'm in the process of building a new website, but now there's a wrench in the works and it's going to take a while. So I'm including a link here to a file of my former website so you can at least read more info about my practice. This link looks big and weird, but it actually works if you copy and paste it in your browser. Sorry about this. Hey, living and learning! Thanks for your patience.
