There was so much to talk about, that there should definitely be a part 2 in the future!  About Sara: Practicing Dietitian (18 years), wife and mother to 3 young girls. "To me, nutrition and wellness are all about meeting people in the middle. I love helping people discover how a few changes to diet and movement can lead to a health shift. Understanding that food is so much more than calories - my focus tends toward what can be added, not taken away. Usually, you can find me seeking a quiet spot with a book, on a long walk or cooking up the next meal for my family."
