Hi There!
I’m just a simple girl from the Midwest with a passion for all things health and wellness. I love the beach, exploring new places, and helping others find their healthy place!
I’m Sara Korzeniewski and I’m a Registered Dietitian and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner.
I work with frustrated and confused yet motivated women who are struggling with hormone imbalances and digestive issues.
I help them get answers by getting to the root causes of their issues by using a multifaceted approach to wellness and empowering them to take 100% responsibility for their health journey. I help support, education, guide, motivate, and provide strategies to build health from the inside out.
I do things differently than most practitioners out there. I am not just about testing and recommending nutrition or supplement protocols (this is only part of what I help clients do) but I work to help you address the deeper rooted causes in order to gain symptom freedom.
The two biggest factors to poor health are toxicity and deficiencies (toxicity often leading to deficiencies). There is no magic pill or one size fits all diet that will help address these. We are unique individuals with unique needs. By assessing your health story and looking for past and current stressors as well as using some targeted functional labs to paint a bigger picture, we can help provide you with custom strategies to help you take back you health and life! While being supported along the way. You don’t have to feel alone on your journey.
I am on a mission to help all women live the life they deserve!
I have been in the health and nutrition field for over a decade.
A few years ago I found myself suffering with some unpleasant symptoms. I was exhausted all the time, bloated, constipated, had irregular periods, horrible acne and gained a few pounds I couldn’t get rid of no matter what I did. I just knew that I could feel better. Being a dietitian I knew something wasn’t right but when I sought help from my primary care doctor they ran blood and hormone tests which they said looked “fine.”
I Got Real Answers
I took matters into my own hands to get some real answers. This lead me into the world of functional medicine. When I first sought guidance from other holistic and functional practitioners I found myself spending a lot of money on labs and supplements. While I did see some positive shifts in my symptoms I still struggled to make as much progress as I was desiring. But why?
My Missing Links
I realized over time that there is nothing functional about replacing conventional labs and medications with functional labs and supplements. Most of the practitioners I was trying to get answers from were just using standard protocols and not addressing me as an individual. Nobody was talking to me about trauma, emotions, nervous system regulation, or helping me discover what way of eating was best for me. I needed so much more than labs, supplements, and a one size fits all diet.
How Did I Finally Do It?
I slowly started to work on all areas of my life including developing a mindset for healing, nutrition and eating to reduce inflammation, sleep and circadian rhythm, movement, stress reduction and trauma healing, toxic burden and getting the right personalized supplements to support my body and the healing process. It wasn’t about just doing one thing. It was the collection of things I did over time that finally got me to my symptom freedom! I wasn’t just guessing or moving from one doctor to the next anymore which felt amazing and empowering! It helped keep me going.
This has given me the tools to help you achieve the same results and reach the same awareness so that you can feel fabulous in your own skin if you are willing to get in the driver seat and be the captain of your own ship. Nobody can do it for you. You are in control!
More About Sara
And when I’m not working with clients and creating new wholesome recipes I can usually be found out on a walk, reading a good book, or spending time with my husband or our dogs Nova and Porter.
I grew up near Chicago, Illinois, and was not a fan of the unpredictable weather and harsh winters. After graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, I moved to Arizona to complete my dietetic internship at University Medical Center. I fell in love with the mountains and warm weather. I moved back to Illinois after a couple of years and there I fell in love with my husband. We have since moved to Arizona together to enjoy the warm weather and sunshine.
My early nutrition path was paved by mainstream nutrition advice…low fat diets, eat less move more, and a calorie counting mentality (but please don’t hold that against me). As a young adult I suffered from poor self esteem with a face full of acne and extra weight that wouldn’t stay away. At the time I had no idea that my digestive system was a wreck and my hormones were out of balance. It wasn’t until I started to focus on my wellness and study function nutrition using science based research, that I was able to embrace my body and get back into balance.
I am happiest when I get to help others learn about their bodies, better understand how nutrition and lifestyle work together, help investigate the root cause of their health issues, and meet their wellness goals. I am not about a one size fits all approach but more about helping you discover what works best for you and your body! Empowering clients to become their own best self-healer. I love to cook and create food that not only tastes delicious, but also nourishes our bodies the way nature intended.
Interested in learning more about what I do and how I can help you? If you are motivated to get answers and make positive changes to have optimal hormone and digestive health then you are in the right place.
