Cheryl Szarko, RDN, NY | Dietitian

About Cheryl Szarko

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with an online telehealth practice, offering nutrition therapy in many areas, such as cholesterol and blood pressure health, fatty liver disease, diabetes, gut health, weight cycling and yo-yo dieting, and much more - all through a non-diet approach. My passion is helping people break free from food struggles, chronic dieting, and confusing nutrition advice—so they can find true and lasting health without restriction, guilt, or endless dieting cycles. My Journey to Nutrition My interest in nutrition began at an early age, though not for the best reasons. Like many, I grew up believing that thinness equaled health and value. This led to years of food preoccupation, dieting, and frustration, never quite knowing what was true or what was another myth. As a young mother, I wanted to nourish my family well but felt overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition messages. This struggle ultimately led me to pursue evidence-based nutrition science so I could help others break free from the same cycle. My Approach I specialize in helping people build sustainable health habits—without restrictive diets or unrealistic regimens. I firmly believe that the best path to health is one you can actually live with—one that considers your body, mind, spirit, and lifestyle. My approach is realistic, whole-person focused, and compassionate, meeting you where you are and helping you find freedom from food struggles. My Training & Expertise I hold two summa cum laude degrees: BS in Food and Nutrition – The University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) BS in Interdisciplinary Studies (Counseling focus) – Liberty University As a certified biblical counselor (ACBC), I offer a faith-based approach to health for those who desire it, helping clients navigate the deeper heart issues surrounding food, body image, and self-worth. I created Satisfied!
