Cheryl Borchardt

Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach
National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach

During the start of my adult life, I was sick, overweight, exhausted, and suffering from many health problems. I dealt with chronic migraines, digestive problems, and chronic hives as well as anxiety and panic attacks. I saw many specialists and doctors over the course of several decades and each wanted to write me a prescription for a different medication. I knew I didn’t need medication to feel better, what I needed was someone to help me find out what had contributed to my ill health and help me make a path to feeling better again! I became a patient at an Integrative Clinic in 2012 and my life changed drastically.

I began to work first to see how my food choices were affecting my health. During this time, I learned about leaky gut and how it likely contributed to my current health problems. As a child, I suffered from many strep and urinary infections and likely had taken dozens of rounds of antibiotics. These antibiotics treated my infections but left me with an unhealthy balance of bad bacteria in my gut, which needed to be rebalanced. Once I began to find out what my triggers had been, I was able to work to correct those imbalances. My rashes disappeared, my gut issues improved, I lost weight, and notice a distinct improvement in my overall health!

In 2016, I became certified as a health coach. I have worked closely with patients suffering from autoimmune conditions, Lyme disease, obesity, digestive and mood disorders, and other chronic health conditions. I am honored to partner with you on your journey to greater health! I live in Evans, GA with my husband, 4 children, 2 dogs, and 2 cats.
