“I was looking to address bouts of indigestion issues post gallbladder removal and address muscle aches.
I had been following your posts on Facebook and had received one of your newsletters that said we don’t have to live with the pain. I reached out right after reading that.
After working with Sara, I feel like I am in a really good place where I can listen to my body and tweak things when needed! Her help was so invaluable in this health journey and I am so appreciative of her support and guidance.
Not a surprise, but what I have loved the most about this journey with you is your knowledge , compassion and desire to help make life more fulfilling.
I loved the whole process with you!”

“I came to Sara with body pain everywhere and slow weight gain. Every day I am so thankful I finally reached out. In this summer heat I now find myself looking for parking shade. And it’s far away! I am so pain free from working with you, the extra walking doesn’t hurt any more.
With the help of the MRT testing and your knowledge and support I eat whenever I need to within my food parameters, I enjoy whatever I eat now more than ever in my life. I am slow and safely losing fat and weight.
I am sure working with you has saved my life. Also giving me a second chance to play and be a part of life. I am truly forever Thankful.
One reason I reached out to Sara was because my gastrologist wanted to put me on medication that was not healthy for my body. I talked to him about Sara’s program and he laughed at me and asked me why in the world would I want to do that.
I want to do that because Sara has shown many positive results from all different types of people with a multitude of health issues.
Sara is surely the most down to earth person I know. Her education is strong and she is so very knowledgeable.
In all honesty though, the fact that she does her job with love and passion for each individual person is a gift on top of a very personalized service that she provides.
Her work can find what foods and some chemicals in your body are causing inflammation. Seriously, this knowledge can help with body pain, joint pain, stomach and intestinal problems and possibly even some mood problems, rashes and the list goes on. With her help, my whole life has opened up to change. I know with her knowledge, her enthusiasm and her true love for everyone’s life, she can help you, your family, and your kids!
With her help and knowledge, what you think may be impossible, could be possible. Trust!

“I reached out to Sara after following the story of her son. He had tummy troubles and skin issues and by identifying foods that were causing an inflammatory reaction and removing them, he felt better. I was not feeling well, I had severe brain fog, was tired all the time and suffered from IBS.
I have worked with Sara for 3 months, I have learned so much! After identifying the foods causing the inflammatory response in my body and removing them from my diet the brain fog is gone and I have so much energy! It’s strange but I feel like I have so much more time in my day. Though not 100% my IBS is so much better!
Sara is so easy to talk to and share my thoughts and concerns with. She is positive, knowledgeable and a great listener. She offers great alternatives in food choices and makes you think! I always feel better after talking with Sara.
It surprised me how emotional the journey is and how closely food is tied to mental health. Though sometimes it is hard to find an hour in my day without disruption, taking the time for my one on one appointment is so worth it! I learn something new every time.
I absolutely recommend Sara! I sing the praises of Sara to all my friends.”

“My biggest concern was the increased congestion from my sinuses and my nasal polyps. I had been thinking it was food related for a few years but could not get anyone to assist me in figuring out what was affecting me or how it was.
My nasal issues are 100% cleared up I would say. I have not tried getting off the medication that was prescribed but I am considering doing a test run to see if the symptoms come back and at what intensity if I do stop taking it.
I love Sara. She is kind and caring and compassionate and while all those things are true, she is also someone who does not let people get away with their nonsense. Hearing the testimonial from her son and how his issues had improved so drastically while he was going through the protocol was so encouraging.
Her willingness to be available nearly 24/7. That is such a huge amount of your time and it is so appreciated.
Sara is amazing and after following her program for even just the first month I already was noticing a decrease in my problem symptoms, even during allergy season. I feel better than I have in years and I could not have done it without her.
I just love and appreciate you so very much!
As always the cost is concerning and yet you have to be able to cover your costs and your time and your attention to detail so keep up the payment plans!”
– Amy S
“I came to Sara with severe constipation. After a few months, I feel great! My wife found her online and set up a call and suggested I try this. I’m really surprised how flexible and nice Sara is. She will help you narrow down what you can eat and has a lot of great tools. Just know it won’t happen fast though.”
– Tom
“I never anticipated that working with Sara would help as much as it has. I was told that hair thinning was genetic, but it was completely diet-based for me. I’m grateful to have my hair back!
I signed up to work with Sara because I have known her since birth and know that she knows what she is talking about. She is intelligent, caring, and supportive.”
– Stephanie A
“I came to Sara and Rx Food with Migraine headaches, hair loss, skin rashes, joint pain, digestion issues.
Sara and her program have been a life changer for me! I’m 5 months into the program now and have seen tremendous results. My skin has completely cleared up, no more headaches, no more joint pain, digestion is so much better, and my hair is growing back fuller and healthier. Sara has such a warm, loving, personality. I was drawn to light that shines in her and was looking for something that would truly help the health issues I was having. How understanding and non-judgmental you are (when I had a month where I completely fell off the wagon, you were so understanding and sweet about it). Your encouragement inspired me to get right back on :). Sara is a miracle worker! I can’t thank you enough for changing my life.”
– Joanna M
“I eat a plant based diet and I was having GI issues after eating certain foods and for days following. Working with you (Sara) has changed my life! Honestly after a month of your guidance I felt so much better. I am very mindful of those foods that cause me discomfort and I have learned to avoid them or minimally consume them. I am constantly sharing my experiences with others. I have been a vegan for over 8 years and I thought I knew what my body needed. When my digestive system became irritated I did my own elimination diet which was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Working with Sara has changed my life forever!! It’s worth every penny!
I feel like you are my personal cheerleader and I’m sure your other clients feel the same way. You shared my wins with me making me feel supported all the time! After month 3 I honestly felt like you had done your job because I had the knowledge I needed to feel better.”
– Jo Ann S
“I was looking to “level up” my approach to chronic pain management and overall health, plus looking for motivation to get back into a meal plan/prep/cook routine that had been missing for a few years.
Yes, Sara helped! But not in the way I thought. I thought I might find some “silver bullet” foods that, if I avoided them, I could avoid flare-ups. And we did find some of that, but what was more helpful overall was the tracking. Before Rx Food and LEAP, I tracked what I ate and some of my symptoms. With Sara’s program, tracking the times, and then later, when I realized I needed to be tracking my symptoms with greater specificity, developing a tracking method that worked for me and Sara, that was extremely helpful in identifying both food and non-food triggers.
What surprised me most about working with Sara is that she never once reacted negatively to me being frustrated (or, like I put it a while back, cun*y, lol, but you can’t use THAT in a testimonial now can you). Not that I thought you would [react negatively], knowing you at least a little bit, but I certainly had days where the weekly check-in triggered an emotional response in me, and you handled that so gracefully. What a gift.”

Our 2 yr old was struggling to have regular bowel movements accompanied with severe belly pains and he would in turn stop eating and it became this vicious cycle of no eating and no pooping. We had gone to the doctor with our concerns about him not eating much and were told this was a phase and it would work itself out. I reached out to Sara to see if she could help us. My son is now pooping! Yay for poop.
And I just feel so much more comfortable with his eating routines. Sara really helped us as parents with meal times. Things like pressuring, his seating arrangements, his milk choices, volume of food and liquids, and the biggest one was mindset. She helped us with little tweaks here and there and that all lead up to big successes for our boy. It was wonderful to work with Sara! She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable! And patient with all the questions and ups and downs. Overall it was a wonderful experience we had working with Sara.”

I came to Sara with concerns of inflammation, pain, fatigue, brain fog, digestive/bloating, skin, hair and nails. Now, I feel like a whole new person. Everything on that list has either disappeared or well on its way to healing. 100% working with Sara was the catalyst.
The biggest surprise was NOT talking about my weight. At all. When you think of a dietitian, you think of the word ‘diet’ and although I have lost weight during this process, it was honestly just a bonus. It was never the focus and that has been such a relief. It has always been based on how I felt, never the number on the scale. That takes a lot of pressure off.
If you want your life to change, you should reach out to Sara. It’s not an easy thing to jump into, but Sara will help guide you through it and before you even realize it you will feel confident in feeding yourself. I started feeling better within a couple of weeks. And it just gets better and better. I don’t have pain when I wake up in the morning. I can stand up straight. My skin is clearing up. My stomach doesn’t hurt all the time. My hair and nails are growing back. I had tried every approach and changing my diet has been the most beneficial, it has given me the most results.
The future you will thank you for this investment in yourself. Trust me.
– Sarah B.
When I first came to Sara, I was struggling with gastritis and I had tummy burning and acid reflux. Since working together, my symptoms have effectively disappeared and I now have confidence that if I get symptoms again, I will know how to manage them with my diet and the tools Sara has shown me.
I’m so surprised at just HOW effective working with her has been. I signed up because I thought she could help me, but I had no idea how she could help me, and I was feeling so down (because nothing was really working that well). Then after just a few weeks I knew we’d hit gold and I was consistently feeling SO much better than I had been.
Sara, I can’t thank you enough for helping me get to this place and for really being there for me through this process. You’re amazing and a real healer! The fact you were willing to brainstorm with me at various junctures in my process to determine the best path to take certain times when I was unsure was SO incredibly helpful. And I’ve said this before, but your spidey senses are off the hook!

After enrolling in the LEAP program, I was diligent about following the protocol 100%. After 2 months, I was starting to feel skeptical. I absolutely felt better, but I was not seeing relief with my RA symptoms. Despite that, I continued on. Then one morning; quite literally I went to sleep and woke up the next day, and I felt AMAZING! Not only do I have a better understanding of food and how it affects me, but I have a positive result of pain relief from it as well! Three months into the program, I completed my blood work and saw a significant decrease in inflammation within my body. (A total of 23 points, actually, which is a HUGE number in the world of inflammation!)
I think the most important fact I could stress on a person is how valuable a science-based, knowledge-based individual is. Someone with expertise can help far more than a Google article can. And because of that, I would recommend Sara hands down. Her go-gettem personality and can-do attitude paired with the knowledge, education and aptitude make her an outstanding candidate to invest in your future with. Yes, it is a financial and time commitment. But you will have zero disappointment putting yourself first and learning how to take care of yourself for the rest of your life.

“I was in so much pain from my knees and feet and feeling tired all the time. I wanted to be pain free (or almost) and have more energy to keep up with my grandkids.
And now? I am pain free more days than not! I am up and ready for the day each morning. No resting or naps. I was able to take my granddaughters trick or treating and we were out walking for up to two hours. I was able to do that pain free. I now exercise daily and can even do yoga. I would have never been able to get down and up off the ground before working with you. She has changed my life.
I signed up with Sara because husband worke with her to help with his GI issues and I was able to witness first hand in such a short amount of time how Sara’s approach and the LEAP/Rx Food program were helping him. He started seeing results within a couple of weeks. I thought why not this could really work for me.
I already knew Sara was an incredible human being!! Her extensive knowledge of how the right food for a person can completely change and enhance their life.
If you want to be better no matter what, send Sara a message. Take that first step. She has all the tools and knowledge to help. Her services and program are an investment in yourself and more than worth it.
Sara is so knowledgeable at what she does. She offers and gives you as much support as you need to succeed. She is so easy to work with and just an incredible human being. Sara’s support was invaluable. I loved being part of the collective.”

We came to Sara and Aspiring Sprouts for my 8 year old who had severe eating anxiety and aversion. This was our last hope before having to go the route of feeding tubes. We worked with Sara and her patience and understanding are beyond amazing.
There was no judgment or pressure and she made my son comfortable. Her approach is different from any other nutritionist, and it was just what we needed. I can’t thank her enough for her help. While we don’t work with her anymore, I still know that I can reach out to her with milestones! We learned so much that we were able to take away and continue to use these methods today.
My son is still picky, but he now is open to trying new foods, knows it’s ok not to like something and has gained 5 pounds, 3 while we were working with Sara and has gained 2 more since our sessions ended. He has finally hit the 50 pound mark!! I can’t recommend Aspiring Sprouts enough.

When I found Sara, my child had negative reactions to any new foods presented and was completely dependent on the iPad at meal times. Now I feel empowered and capable about working with my child’s food journey. I used to feel so much guilt and dread around meal times, now I feel like I’m enough and doing my best for my child. Yes, working with Sara has turned our world around.
With her encouragement and validation, we will continue this work for a long time to come. I would tell others what a positive and encouraging process working with you is. I’d tell my friend or relative to drop their guard and be open to compassion. Yep, I was ready to get scolded but instead I got a big ol’ compassionate food parenting hug!
I love the courses and the ability to listen on my headphones. I love the support and the accountability I feel with the journals. I didn’t get reprimanded… I was met where I was and encouraged. Sara, you’re an amazing human and I love the light you’ve shined into our lives.

“I came to Sara with muscle and joint pain. And a desire for healthy aging. Her reputation for helping others is why I joined.
Now, there are still challenges, everyday. But the joint and muscle pain has improved a lot and I feel that I have taken an important step toward feeling as good as possible for as long as possible.
It surprised me how she would go beyond diet and also counsel on exercise and sleep and stress and more.
You owe it to yourself to feel as good as you can. Sara can help with that.”
– JM
“I joined Rx Food because I saw Sara’s successes with other clients. I was overweight, especially visceral fat with abdominal discomfort. Brain fog, lethargy, miscellaneous muscle aches and pains, atrial fibrillation.
Now, I’m making progress toward my weight goal and experiencing less discomfort, more well-being. Brain fog and lethargy are much less along with tinitus and muscle pain. A-fib has been dormant lately. I do feel that reducing inflammatory substances in my diet has contributed to these improvements.
I was surpise with Sara’s scope of knowledge and training. I knew she was committed, but her skill and professionalism went beyond my expectations.
If you have dietary or digestive problems, chronic pain, anything that may be inflammation related, and you’re ready to commit to improving these problems, Sara can help.
Her mix of professionalism and love made this process a joy.”
– Pat M.
Sara is just the greatest. She is so patient, kind, and full of ideas about creating a more peaceful dinner time between you and your family. While no one dinner is perfect, she gave me the tools to be more successful and to give myself grace when my kids weren’t as open to their meals. Highly recommend giving her a shot! – Kelly
Since working with Sara, I have the correct knowledge about how my body processes food and what is good for it. From the get go, she was so energetic and professional and easy to talk to. I also saw the “human” in her, and could tel she was doing this to actually help her clients.
I highly recommend Sara for several reasons. She is extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date with the latest nutritional science. Her recommendations are not just about diet, but also about making sustainable lifestyle changes. Overall, Sara has played a crucial role in improving my health and wellbeing.
Through Practice Better (client portal) and EatLove (meal planning software), I felt that I had the right tools to connect to you when needed. Also, EatLove kept me on track on tracking my macros.
– Spencer
I was diagnosed with a particular type of IBS-D and was trying to resolve the issues without being on a steroid which is the normal treatment for the condition that I have.
I am so thankful my condition can be treated without steroids and I can feel good again.
Sara has everything you need, knowledge, expertise, assistance and ability to work with people in a supportive and friendly way. She helps you feel better and thrive.
It is surprising that there are tools available to make life easier when having to deal with special diets.This has been an amazing experience of finding answers to my health issues and actually being able to solve them and feeling so much better without having to use drugs of any kind.
