Sarah Canfield MS.CNS.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE nutritionist+health coach
my story, my passion…
My love for nutrition and wellness has been the product of many years of struggling with my own health issues, including lyme disease, PCOS, disordered eating patterns and amenorrhea. In my high school years I began seeking the unaitainable goal of that “perfect body” as many young girls do. I went through years of yo-yo diets, self loathing, anger, frustration and mounting health problems. It wasn’t until I enrolled into college as a dietetics major and also discovered a passion of movement and yoga that I finally came to a conclusion that there had to be more to life than just than thinking about food!
That’s when I found a functional medicine nutritionist to work with who helped me clear up rampant dysbiosis from antibiotic use, heel my gut and in doing so also my mind. Along with my physical symptoms, she was able to coach me to a new understanding of eating to thrive, not just survive, and also to accept my body and appreciate it for what it can do, not just what it looks like. My new found love of fueling my body for health and not just physical appearance was what drove me to gain a Masters Degree in Human Nutrition and to go on to complete 1,000 hours Supervised Practice with a Naturopathic doctor with an emphasis on functional medicine nutrition. I also completed my Health Coaching certification through Wellcoaches and integrate this into my practice for an empathetic and individualized approach to guide you on your path to health and vitality! Now lets get started!
