# Functional Nutrition Coach in Redding CA | Cheryl Devine > Work with a functional nutrition coach Redding CA residents trust. I’m Cheryl Devine, offering plant-based coaching with optional bloodwork review. - Published: October 16, 2026 - Author: Cheryl Devine, Nutrition coach in Redding, California Source: https://sites.coach/positivelydevine/blog/functional-nutrition-coach-in-redding-ca If you're searching for a functional nutrition coach in Redding CA, I can help you create a simple, plant-powered plan that fits your life. I’m Cheryl Devine, and I combine everyday nutrition coaching with optional functional bloodwork review so you can understand what your body needs and take confident action, without counting calories or weighing portions. ## What Working With Me Feels Like Working with me means you have a calm, consistent advocate in your corner. I listen closely to your story, your symptoms, your routines, and what you've already tried. Then I help you use whole plant foods to support your goals in a way that feels doable week to week. My approach is steady and kind, focused on building momentum with small swaps and smart batch-cooking. I have 8 years of coaching experience, and I specialize in functional bloodwork and nutrigenomics, along with 20+ years of firsthand experience in plant-based vegan health. Many clients come to me after a wake-up call from their doctor, or when they realize they're heading down a health path they want to change. Others are long-time vegans who still feel stuck with stubborn symptoms. Wherever you are starting, I meet you there. 🤗 ## What Does a Functional Nutrition Coach in Redding Do? Functional nutrition looks at your whole picture: your food, sleep, stress, movement, and, when you have recent labs, the patterns in your labs that can guide your next steps. In practice, that means we will: - Map your priorities, symptoms, and daily schedule. - Make targeted food swaps that improve satiety and energy without tracking calories, portions, or macros. - Build a weekly batch-cooking plan so meals are faster and more consistent. - Review your recent blood work in the 10-session package, then translate insights into simple actions. - Adjust gradually, one or two levers at a time, so your changes stick. You will leave each session with clear next steps, plus resource guides and action sheets to keep you focused between sessions. ## Where We Meet: Redding and Nearby Palo Cedro If you enjoy face-to-face conversation, we can meet at your home, or at Heritage Coffeehouse in Redding. If you are closer to the east side, we can meet at Starbucks in Palo Cedro. Both spots are easy to find and have a relaxed atmosphere where we can review your goals, your supplement list, and, if you bring it (and have purchased a package that includes lab review), your latest lab work. If another location works better for you, send me a message and I'll let you know if it works for me. I'm always open to a nice new meeting spot. I also work online for clients who prefer virtual sessions. ## Why Plant-Based, and Why No Calorie Counting? I coach with an abundance mindset: more color, more fiber, more nutrients, more satisfaction. This approach supports energy, mood, digestion, and satiety, and it removes the stress of constantly managing numbers. We focus on meals you enjoy, like building abundant bowls, hearty soups and stews, and quick breakfasts that carry you through the morning. When you feel full and nourished, it gets easier to skip the late-night snack or the mid-afternoon crash. Many clients come in worried they will have to overhaul everything. You're welcome to go slow and putter along like a turtle ...or leap like a lion! We stack small wins at your pace. As Selena shared, “Cheryl has provided me with tons of small steps and tricks I can actually start doing in my life right now.” That is the heart of my system: kindness plus practical steps. ## How Sessions Work, Depending on Your Chosen Package - Session 1: We start with your story and top priorities. Bring your current supplements and medications, plus any recent lab reports from your doctor if you have them. We pick 1-2 focus areas and set an easy action plan for the week ahead. - Session 2: We review your wins and where you're struggling, then add a batch-cooking or grocery strategy so meals get faster and more satisfying. You get clear scripts for ordering out and navigating busy days. - Session 3 and beyond: We refine. If you are in the 10-session package, we walk through your recent blood work together and translate patterns into food-first actions. You learn to recognize what is working for you. Between sessions you will have simple guides and checklists. I keep the process friendly and structured so you always know what to do next. ## Packages and Pricing As a functional nutrition coach in Redding CA, I offer single sessions and two popular packages. Sessions are 60 minutes. - Single Session: $90. A focused hour to get clarity on your priorities and a practical plan for the next 1-2 weeks. Includes follow-up notes and action steps. - Ctrl + Alt + Eat: Radiant Health Reset, 3 sessions, $59 per session: A 3-week reset for anyone who wants to change course quickly but safely. We build your foundational plan, make realistic swaps, and set up a time-saving batch-cooking flow. No calorie counting, no portion weighing. Total program length: 3 weeks. - From Health Scare to Health Transformation, 10 sessions, best value at just $55 per session (recommended): A deeper 10-session partnership for those ready to act after a wake-up call or who want to truly address stubborn symptoms. Bring your recent blood work and learn the patterns shown in your data, and we'll use it to build your roadmap. Bonuses include a pantry audit with batch-cooking practice, a grocery tour, and an outdoor movement session. When we work online, these convert to virtual experiences. ## What To Bring To Your First Meeting - Your health story and top priorities - A list of symptoms or goals you want to focus on - A list or photos of current supplements and medications - Recent lab reports from your doctor if you have them Showing up with these items helps us move quickly from talk to action. ## Redding-Focused Meal Planning Life in and around Redding can be full: work, kids, outdoor activities, beating the heat 🥵, and the regular errands that spill into evenings. We will design a weekly rhythm that matches that pace. For example: - Sunday prep: One pot of soup or chili, one roasted tray of vegetables, and a cooked grain. That gives you 6-8 mix-and-match meals. - Weekday breakfasts: A ready-to-blend smoothie kit or a fiber-rich overnight option that takes 3 minutes in the morning. - Portable lunches: Layered bowls using your weekend prep, plus a fruit and a simple sauce you like. We keep your favorite flavors in the rotation and make space for eating out. ## Who I Work With I coach health newcomers, the plant-curious, and long-time vegans who still feel off their game. I am also gluten-free, so I can help you explore that path if it is relevant, along with a short trial of removing common allergens to see if any might be causing trouble. We make adjustments step by step so you can feel changes without feeling deprived. Clients often tell me the supportive pace is what makes it click. As Michele put it, “The reminder to go slow was very helpful. I tend to jump into things head first and get frustrated when I can't make it sustainable.” Sustainability is the point. We only make changes you can keep. ## Functional Bloodwork, Explained Simply In the 10-session package, I review your recent blood work from your doctor. We discuss ranges and patterns in plain language, then pair those insights with everyday nutrition and lifestyle actions. You stay in the driver’s seat, and anything outside my scope is referred back to your medical team. The aim is to connect the dots between what you see on paper and what you feel during the day, then take smart, food-first steps. ## What Results Feel Like Results look different for everyone, but common themes include feeling better prepared with food, fewer afternoon crashes, smoother digestion, balancing blood sugar, releasing weight, clearer skin, enjoying fruits and vegetables more, and more confidence reading labels and menus. Char shared about her loved one, “He's been feeling more like himself, moving easily, and functioning without the issues he used to struggle with... His doctor has seen real changes.” That is the kind of steady progress we aim for together. ## Why Work With Me In Redding - Local and flexible: Meet at your home, Heritage Coffeehouse in Redding or Starbucks in Palo Cedro, or meet online. - Plant-based, abundance-first: No calorie counting, portion weighing, or fasting. - Structured yet kind: Clear action steps, resource guides, and a focus on small wins that add up. - Social proof: A 5-star average across 5 reviews.
