BRIEF BIO

Cheryl K. Johnson was a researcher by profession, but a long-time food and fitness enthusiast at heart. She thinks of herself as “just an ordinary person trying to cut through the clutter of misleading wellness advice.” Cheryl is relentless about finding nutrition and healthy lifestyle information that steers the conversation back to choices that are practical—and enjoyable. Based on what’s worked for her and for others over the years, and the discipline and attitude from more than ten years of boxing training, she’s created a no-excuse, common sense practice for a more satisfying life built on better food and better ways to use your time during your workday lunch break. It’s a simple, flexible solution called Box Lunch Lifestyle.

How to build that better lunch break—and why it matters—is the subject of her first book Box Lunch Lifestyle: Using Your Lunch Break to Win Back the Life You Deserve. Endorsed by thought leaders like Daniel Pink and Jonathan Fields, and praised by Midwest Book Review, the answer to “Can change really be this easy?” is “Yes!” Cheryl will show you how.

Secretly, Cheryl loves grocery stores: small family-owned ones, national chains, co-ops, and the corner convenience store. Seeing everyday life through the lens of what food is available, and what people actually buy, fascinates her—and reinforces her disdain for weight loss programs and companies that thrive by selling non-nutritious food.

When she’s not boxing, reading, or pushing a cart, Cheryl and her husband enjoy documentary films and Indian food. They live near St. Paul, MN, in a town that Cheryl describes as a cross between Lake Wobegon and Twin Peaks.
