Late Nights, Alcohol & Nutrition Myths Debunked by a Virginia Beach Dietitian

Cheryl Zonkowski, Registered Dietitian and founder of Catalyzt Nutrition in Virginia Beach, was recently featured on HOTWASH by Born Primitive Tactical, where she breaks down some of the most common misconceptions around nutrition, lifestyle, and long-term results. This episode focuses on a topic many people overlook- your relationship with food and how it directly impacts your progress.

In the conversation, Cheryl explains that success with nutrition isn’t about strict rules or eliminating certain foods altogether. Instead, it’s about understanding how your body responds to your habits, including late-night eating, alcohol, and inconsistent routines. As a trusted Virginia Beach nutrition coach, she emphasizes the importance of building a personalized, sustainable approach that supports both performance and overall well-being.

The episode also dives into intuitive eating, highlighting both its benefits and the common ways people misunderstand it. Cheryl shares how to create structure without restriction, improve digestion and sleep through better timing and choices, and develop a nutrition strategy that works with your lifestyle- not against it.

For anyone looking to move beyond confusion and into clarity, this conversation offers practical, real-world guidance.
