Sarah Menzel

About Sarah

I have been a Registered Dietitian for over five years, and I am so excited to expand my clients here with Nourish! I received both my Bachelor and Master's degrees in Dietetics from Iowa State University. Additionally I am board certified in oncology nutrition and a certified Intuitive Eating counselor. My passion for helping others through the lens of nutrition comes from my own experience as a teenager with chronic health concerns that led to changing my diet. When I'm not working or nourishing, I enjoy a healthy balance of exercising, exploring new places with friends and having a cozy evening at home with a good book and my two cats.

Approach to care

Regardless of why you are seeking the help of a Registered Dietitian, I believe all bodies are beautiful and deserve to be treated (and nourished) with respect. I take pride in approaching each client as a whole-person, including mental health care in addition to physical health care. I do not believe there are good foods and bad foods; all foods serve a purpose.

Your first session with Sarah

In your first session, I want to get to know you! We won't only discuss your current diet patterns and goals, we'll also discuss your job, hobbies, family, pets and anything else that makes up who you are. We will work together to identify potential barriers on your journey and make a plan to overcome these.
