Empowering you to live your healthiest, happiest life.

Welcome—I'm Cheryl Bryson.

 

I’m a Clinical Nutritionist and Integrative Medicine Practitioner, and the founder of Naturally Nourished Nomad — a health and wellness practice dedicated to empowering you to take charge of your health and wellbeing so you can live your fullest life.

​

Having experienced my own complex health challenges, including hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and its co-conditions, I understand the layered reality of living with a chronic condition. This lived experience has shaped both my empathy and my commitment to providing person-centred, evidence-based, and integrative care that supports the whole person—not just the diagnosis.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Health Science (Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine) and a Master of Integrative Medicine. I draw from and utilise both conventional and more integrative nutrition, dietetics, and lifestyle (movement, meditation, sleep, stress resilience) medicine practices.  I am well-versed in pharmacology and traditional and functional pathology testing, a factor that comes in handy with hormone, gut, metabolic, neurological, psychological, and immune disturbances. 

​

Indeed, my passions lie in psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology – a field of health science that understands the multidirectional links between all these systems and appreciates the roles of genes, gut health, and life stages in health and disease.

​

Within this framework, I have a particular focus on supporting women through perimenopause and menopause—helping them navigate the hormonal, metabolic, and emotional transitions that shape this powerful stage of life. I’m passionate about helping women reclaim vitality, balance, and a renewed sense of self during this time.

​

I also work with people navigating the postpartum period and those experiencing an intertwining of gut, hormone, and metabolic challenges, as well as resistant weight loss, stressful life periods, disordered eating, and/or the complexities of chronic health conditions, including autoimmune, complex pain, and connective tissue disorders.

​

While I use gendered terms here, my practice is an inclusive space that welcomes individuals of all genders and identities. I firmly practice trauma-informed, neuroaffirming care.

​

Beyond clinical work, I’m deeply committed to education and research in integrative health and am available for writing, speaking, and academic collaborations that align with advancing holistic, evidence-informed care.

​

My most recent peer-reviewed publication explores Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) as a botanical support for women’s wellbeing through perimenopause. Featured in the Australian Journal of Herbal and Naturopathic Medicine (Sep, 2025)—you can view it here.
