Meet Your Expert Nutritionist: Sarah Jenkins
Hello! I'm Sarah Jenkins, the founder of Healthy Habits Nutrition. My journey into nutrition began with a deep-seated passion for understanding how food impacts our overall well-being.

This comprehensive training has equipped me with the knowledge and tools to address a wide range of nutritional needs, from optimizing athletic performance to managing chronic health conditions.
My Approach to Nutrition: Client-Centric and Evidence-Based
My personal philosophy on nutrition and wellness is rooted in a client-centric, evidence-based approach. I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to diet. Each individual is unique, with distinct physiological needs, lifestyle factors, cultural backgrounds, and personal goals. Therefore, my consultations are highly personalized, focusing on creating practical, enjoyable, and effective plans that seamlessly integrate into your daily life.
I emphasize sustainable changes over restrictive diets, aiming to foster a positive relationship with food and empower you with the knowledge to make informed decisions long-term. My recommendations are always backed by the latest scientific research, ensuring that you receive the most current and effective guidance available.
