From Personal Struggle to Transformative Solutions: Dr. Cheryl's Journey
Discovering Root-Cause Medicine
Like many of my clients, my path to root cause medicine began with my own health challenges. As a former athlete who suddenly found myself struggling with unexplained symptoms and declining performance, I experienced firsthand the frustration of being told everything was 'normal' despite feeling anything but normal.
My search for answers led me to discover the profound impact of environmental toxins, hidden infections, and cellular dysfunction on overall health and cognitive function. This personal journey transformed not only my own health but also my approach to medicine.
Today, I combine my personal experience with advanced training in functional medicine, detoxification protocols, and parasite removal strategies to help high-performers who are experiencing similar challenges. Whether you're an executive facing cognitive decline, a professional pushing through exhaustion, or someone who has 'tried everything' without finding answers, my approach identifies what others miss.
At NeuroFit Health Solutions, we specialize in uncovering the root causes behind your unexplained symptoms - from environmental toxins and parasitic infections to cellular dysfunction and metabolic imbalances. Our comprehensive approach addresses multiple layers of health to restore not just your function, but your quality of life and performance potential.
More on Dr. Cheryl...
As a former elite athlete, maintaining excellent health has always been a source of pride for me. From college soccer to a professional career in American football, my unwavering commitment to physical fitness, clean eating, and wise decision-making defined my lifestyle.
However, an unexpected turn in my life brought forth a myriad of debilitating symptoms—light sensitivity, insomnia, irritability, slow memory, brain fog, eye pain, difficulty reading, headaches, and back pain.
These challenges triggered a deeper commitment to seek answers, especially after facing depression, chronic fatigue, severe joint pain, adrenal fatigue, and a thyroid cancer scare despite being on thyroid medication and doing "everything right."
At my worst, I struggled to find the right words and still perform in a professional setting, while wondering in the back of my head if this was the start of my cognitive decline from CTE. I tried to play sports but couldn’t keep the horizon steady or keep my balance and ended up embarrassing myself in front of teammates who once depended on my skills and abilities.
It is embarrassing, it’s depressing, it’s soul-crushing and for some, it’s life-ending. The thought of an early demise from CTE; leaving my wife a widow, is deeply distressing and motivates me daily to seek a solution.
Despite navigating conventional healthcare channels, alternative therapies, consulting specialists, and paying hefty fees for outside experts, finding a solution to challenges proved elusive. A few therapies did prove helpful but lacked cohesion, accessibility, or sustainability as a real solution.
Then I discovered root cause medicine. This marked a turning point where real answers emerged, and the puzzle pieces began falling into place. I had real answers to what was going on with me despite all of the band-aid solutions offered by other healthcare providers.
I found this path because I refused to be a passive patient, wait for the medical model to catch up, or rely on medications with guaranteed side effects. I am eager to share my journey of natural healthcare, discoveries about root causes, and effective treatment solutions that are available for brain and body health today.
This topic is not merely an interest; it shapes every moment of my life. My brain is my most valuable asset, and addressing this issue has become my purpose. Driven by personal experiences and frustration with the gaps in traditional medical care, I am dedicated to restoring health through a comprehensive approach that actually works.
My extensive professional and postdoctoral training spans various approaches, including sports injury management, multiple sports chiropractic techniques, extremity adjusting, on-field emergency care, neurofeedback therapy, nutrition, rehabilitation, functional medicine, and root cause medicine.
I aim to help uncover the root causes of health conditions, halt progression, and spare others from similar struggles.
