Are you feeding your disease without knowing it?
There Is a Better Way.
Plant-based nutrition can help you reverse disease, reduce meds, and feel like yourself again—from the inside out.
From Burnout to Purpose
Hi, I’m Dr. Christina Cherian.
10 years ago, I was on the verge of quitting med school—burnt out, anxious, and disconnected from the work I once felt called to do.
That's when I discovered a whole food plant based diet.
Suddenly, there was a reason to stay. I learned that I could actually take patients off their medications rather than moving them along on the slow but certain conveyor belt to worsening disease, disability, and early death. I read and learned everything I could and eventually became board certified in Lifestyle Medicine.
For the past 8 years, I have been turning this insight into action, in myself and my patients. And the results have been nothing short of astounding.
I’m here for you.
You Want to Feel Better. I Help You Get There—Naturally.
You may be thinking:
“I’m tired of being tired.”
“I hate taking all these meds.”
“I don’t want to end up like my parents.”
“I’ve tried everything. Nothing works.”
You don’t need to figure it out alone. I help women with chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol take back their health using evidence-based nutrition.

Testimonials
Imagine This…
You wake up with more energy. Your A1c is normal. You’re eating meals that actually nourish you—and you enjoy them. You’ve lost weight, dropped a medication, and feel like yourself again. Most importantly? You believe in your ability to heal.
You Might Be Wondering…
Will this help with my medical condition?
Most chronic health conditions—like high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes—are deeply influenced by our daily choices. Through lifestyle medicine coaching, we focus on addressing the root causes of disease, not just the symptoms.
Together, we explore personalized ways to support your body’s natural healing—through food, movement, rest, stress reduction, and more. While every journey is unique, many of my clients experience real improvements in their labs, energy, and medication use over time.
Will you help me with labs?
While I do not order labs or function as your primary care physician, I can guide you in understanding your lab results and tracking meaningful progress with your health goals. I often collaborate with clients to prepare questions or goals for their own doctors and can help interpret changes in a holistic, empowering way.
Is this like a doctor’s appointment?
Not quite. Coaching is a different kind of space. It’s not about giving you a treatment plan and sending you on your way.
Instead, we co-create a supportive, judgment-free container where your goals, challenges, and values lead the way. You’ll have a compassionate partner to help you move forward—at your own pace—with gentle guidance, encouragement, and accountability.
What’s the difference between coaching and medicine?
Medicine treats disease. Coaching helps transform your life.
Coaching is not about prescribing—it’s about listening deeply, asking meaningful questions, and helping you reconnect with your own motivation, inner wisdom, and goals. We focus on sustainable lifestyle changes that feel doable, nourishing, and aligned with what matters most to you.
What if I’ve already tried plant-based eating?
You’re not starting from scratch—you’re starting from experience.
If you’ve tried plant-based eating and didn’t see the results you hoped for, we’ll explore why. Maybe it wasn’t personalized. Maybe it felt overwhelming or too rigid. Maybe life got in the way.
There’s no judgment here—only curiosity, compassion, and a fresh start rooted in what feels right for you now.
Will I really get off my meds?
While I can’t promise outcomes—no one can—I can tell you this: the body is capable of profound healing when we remove what harms and add what supports it.
Many of my clients have reduced or even come off medications as a result of consistent, meaningful lifestyle changes.
My role is to help you take one sustainable step at a time to move toward a life with more vitality, freedom, and possibility.
