About Me
Hello I'm Dr. Cheryl Graham, DC, FMACP, a functional medicine practitioner and chiropractor located in Santa Cruz, California who works with women ready to stop being dismissed, minimized, or told their symptoms are “just part of aging.”My focus is women’s hormone health—especially during peri-menopause and menopause, when the body can feel unfamiliar, unpredictable, and out of sync. I also support people struggling with weight loss resistance, autoimmune conditions, metabolic dysfunction, gut imbalances, and chronic skin issues—especially when they’ve tried everything and still don’t feel like themselves.This is not surface-level care.I take a root-cause, investigative approach—using advanced functional lab testing, personalized nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to uncover what your body has been trying to say all along. Your symptoms are not random. They are signals. And when we learn how to listen, everything changes.My work is grounded in both science and lived experience. I understand what it’s like to be told your labs are “normal” while your body clearly isn’t. That’s why I don’t brush past symptoms—I follow them, decode them, and build a plan that is precise, personal, and designed for real, lasting change.As a chiropractor, I also bring a deep understanding of the nervous system and physical stress patterns that influence healing. Your body is not just biochemical—it’s structural, neurological, and deeply interconnected.This is a partnership rooted in honesty, curiosity, and courage.If you’re ready to stop guessing, stop settling, and start understanding your body on a deeper level, I’m here to guide you—so you can feel clear, strong, and fully at home in yourself again. Listen to the body. Find the root. Heal with courage.
