Testimonials for Cheryl Carpio, RD, CDN 

• Real woman getting results. My weight loss journey became a natural health and weight loss adventure.  Weight loss, health, fitness, personal growth, advice and tips.  --MaryAnn L. February 2008 

• I'm so glad that I found Cheryl to work with as my nutritionist.  I started seeing her in the Spring of 2007 for weight management issues.  Her warm welcome made me feel comfortable right away.  She was totally non-judgmental on my less than stellar eating habits at the time and with her support I was able to make little changes in my eating habits that I was able to stick to instead of doing it the "fad" way.  Cheryl also has a personal touch with patients that is very rare in today's medical community.  Whenever I would "slip up," she didn't just list things I did wrong, she took the time to understand the situations that were going in my life that would cause me to slip into the unhealthy patterns and offered suggestions on how to notice when I was going back to old habits.  As if this wasn't enough, Cheryl has shown what a phenomenal nutritionist she is and how much care she gives to her clients when I broke the news to her in September 2007 that I had been diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.  The main concern for my oncologist was that I simply get calories in, drink enough fluids and keep everything down while I go through my chemotherapy treatments.  Cheryl has worked with me to make healthy choices to keep my weight and strength up.  While I am expected to make a full and complete recovery from this cancer, I know that Cheryl is not only concerned with getting me through the treatment, but she is also setting me up to continue eating in a healthy way after my treatment is over and I am in remission.  I wish everyone in the medical community took as much interest in their patients as Cheryl does in hers! --Cyndy S.

• My husband is a patient on dialysis and I am writing this letter on his behalf to give thanks and praise to Cheryl. Cheryl is friendly, pleasant, and very knowledgeable concerned individual, always thinking of what to do to keep her patients in her charge well and their nutritional needs up to par.  Cheryl has made a very trying situation for my husband and a little easier to cope with and the information she has given us helped me to keep him healthy and functioning.       -Doris T. 2006
