WHO WE HELP
You Deserve a Complete Understanding of Diabetes & Your Health

You're hearing conversations about additional medications and wondering what else you can do to support your blood sugar, your health, and your future.
-
You've built a full life. Between work, family, travel, and time with friends, you're looking for practical, sustainable Diabetes self-care strategies that fit naturally into your lifestyle.
-
Whether you've recently been diagnosed or have been living with Diabetes for years, you want a deeper understanding of the many factors that influence your blood sugar so you can protect your long-term health, vitality, quality of life, and independence.
Meet Dr. Cheryl
D. Ac., C.Ht., RDH
Diabetes has touched four generations of my family, representing more than 150 years of lived experience. My own journey with Diabetes began more than 30 years ago. Combined with my work as a Doctor of Holistic Medicine and Diabetes Coach, this has given me a unique understanding of both the daily realities of living with Diabetes and the practical strategies that help people thrive.
​
While healthcare professionals play an essential role in diagnosing, monitoring, and medically managing Diabetes, most appointments are necessarily brief and focused on test results, medications, and immediate medical concerns. That often leaves little time to explore the many everyday lifestyle choices that influence your blood sugar, energy, and long-term health.
​
That's where my team and I come in. Through practical education, personalized coaching, and evidence-informed self-care strategies, we help you better understand your Diabetes and the many factors that influence it. Together, we'll help you make informed decisions with greater confidence so you can improve your daily well-being while protecting your long-term health, vitality, quality of life, and independence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Holistic Diabetes Solutions different?
​
Holistic Diabetes Solutions (HDS) helps you take a more proactive role in your health through education, personalized coaching, and practical self-care strategies.
​
Our holistic approach looks beyond blood sugar numbers to explore the many factors that influence life with Diabetes, including nutrition, movement, mindset, stress management, sleep, and daily self-care habits.
Why would I work with a Diabetes Coach if I already have a doctor?
​
Your healthcare team plays an essential role in diagnosing, monitoring, and medically managing Diabetes. Yet the vast majority of Diabetes management happens between appointments. Diabetes coaching helps you understand the everyday nutrition, movement, mindset, and self-care decisions that influence your blood sugar, health, and quality of life.
​
The goal isn't simply better blood sugar numbers. It's helping you feel your best, maintain your independence, reduce your risk of complications, and enjoy the life you've worked so hard to build. Coaching provides personalized guidance that helps you turn knowledge into meaningful, sustainable action that's tailored to your lifestyle, goals, and health priorities.
​
My A1C is already good. Can Diabetes coaching still help me?
​
Absolutely. A1C is an important marker, but it only provides an average of your blood sugar over the previous two to three months. An average doesn't show the highs and lows that may be occurring throughout the day, and many people don't routinely check their blood sugar often enough to recognize those patterns.
​
Those daily fluctuations matter. Repeated periods of high blood sugar, even when hidden within a "good" A1C, can gradually contribute to complications over time. Frequent lows can also affect your safety, confidence, and quality of life.
​
Many people choose coaching because they want a better understanding of what's happening between appointments and between A1C tests. Together, you'll explore the everyday factors that influence your blood sugar, identify your personal patterns, and learn practical self-care strategies that help you make more informed decisions with greater confidence while supporting your long-term health.
​
If I'm taking medication, do I still need to focus on lifestyle and self-care?
​
Medication can be an important part of Diabetes management. However, medication was never intended to be the sole solution. It works best when combined with healthy nutrition, regular movement, stress management, quality sleep, and a host of daily self-care practices.
​
The choices you make between medical appointments influence how you feel today and can affect your long-term health. Diabetes coaching helps you understand how these daily choices work together and how to apply them in ways that fit your health, lifestyle, and goals.
​
Is It Ever Too Late to Make Meaningful Changes to My Health?
​
No. The body has an incredible capacity to respond to positive change at any age. While no one can turn back the clock, many of the factors that influence blood sugar, energy, mobility, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being remain highly responsive to nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, and daily self-care practices.
​
Many people are surprised to discover that small, consistent improvements can lead to meaningful changes in how they feel, function, and live. Regardless of how long you've been living with Diabetes, there's always an opportunity to better understand your health and take meaningful steps that support your vitality, independence, and quality of life.
​
What are the most common complications associated with Diabetes?
​
Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision loss, nerve damage, and circulation problems. Adults with Diabetes are approximately twice as likely to develop heart disease or experience a stroke compared to those without Diabetes.
​
Many of these complications develop gradually over time, making daily Diabetes management one of the most important investments you can make in your future health and quality of life. Understanding the many factors that influence your health today can help you better protect your long-term health and maintain your independence for years to come.
