Welcome! I’m glad you’re here
Hello! I’m Sarah, your dedicated advocate in your journey to vibrant health. I’m a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, self-proclaimed “foodie,” and passionate home chef who believes food is the ultimate medicine. As someone who has experienced health challenges and frustrations, I know how difficult the journey can be to face alone. This is why I specialize in helping people who feel stuck and alone in their health journeys find the clarity they need to unlock their underlying wellness.
Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your symptoms, such as digestive distress, fatigue, and painful periods, and create a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan to support your body’s unique needs, empowering you to feel confident in your body and to find your thrive.
My Personal Journey Towards Health
For over a decade, I felt like a puzzle with missing pieces. I didn’t feel like myself, and year after year, specialist after specialist told me, “Everything is normal,” as my symptoms worsened. Hair loss, digestive distress, joint pain, fatigue, and heavy, painful periods were constant companions, yet each doctor dismissed my concerns with the same refrain: "You're fine. Everything is normal." I began to feel crazy and wonder if my symptoms were “normal” or if they were all in my head.
Amid the chaos of Covid, a false autoimmune diagnosis provided a temporary sense of relief as I finally felt like I was validated, vindicated, and had answers to my symptoms. However, as the diagnosis unraveled, so did my hope for answers. It became evident that the traditional medical approach I had encountered was fragmented, reactive, and limited in scope to finding the root cause of what was behind my frustrating, painful, and sometimes embarrassing symptoms.
The Missing Perspective: Holistic Health
What I needed was someone to see me as a whole, not just a collection of symptoms and lab results. Enter integrative or functional medicine, where a Holistic MD finally looked at the complete picture. The revelation? An imbalance in my gut microbiome was affecting my overall health. This diagnosis not only helped me finally uncover my root cause, relieve my symptoms, and empower me with knowledge about my body, but it also helped me realize the critical role of gut health in overall well-being.
Hippocrates said, "All disease begins in the gut," and both modern research and my personal health journey affirmed this to be true. But here's the empowering part: if disease originates in the gut, so does health. By prioritizing this essential system, we can support function and health throughout our bodies.
Becoming Your Advocate
I became an NTP to be an advocate for YOU. I do what I do because no one should feel lost, alone, or crazy when they are dealing with frustrating, embarrassing, or debilitating symptoms.
Foundational health should be common knowledge, and the approach to health should be proactive, information-driven, and personalized rather than reactive, one-size-fits-all, or simply covering up the symptoms while ignoring the underlying cause. Everyone should have an advocate listening to them, learning about their unique symptoms and health goals, and supporting them individually in their health and healing journey. I’m here to be that advocate, guide, and support for you.
