“When I was not feeling well, my daughter Ashley recommended I contact Sarah Jane. I learned so much from her, and I truly appreciate Sarah’s knowledge and help.
Her tests are so much more in-depth than regular testing in my doctors’ offices — they disputed what I told them until I showed them her tests.
I took Sarah’s recommendations, especially with using the vitamins she suggested from Designs for Health. I have tried others and have never found a manufacturer where how I felt was distinctly different than with other vitamins I’ve bought.
Sarah’s knowledge of women’s health issues is so much more in-depth than what I have gotten from other physicians. Thank you again for your high quality, caring attitude towards your patients, Sarah!”

“25 lbs over my pre-baby weight, I was frustrated and depressed, so I reached out to Sarah. She tested my hormones and discovered that I had some extreme hormone imbalances, likely due to the usual postpartum stuff and exacerbated by having my two daughters so close together.
She gave me a comprehensive regime of supplements. Six months after starting to work with her I was back to my pre-baby weight.
More than that though, Sarah is just so lovely, a great human and a delight to work with. So supportive, positive, kind and compassionate, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her.”
— Kelley Manley
“I have suffered with IBS since I was a kid and after seeing many doctors and trying several different medications, I had given up and had accepted my reality. I really didn’t think that my symptoms could ever improve.
A friend of mine recommended Sarah to me and I decided to give her a shot. I already considered myself a fairly healthy person, but Sarah opened up my eyes to so many things I was eating and doing that was hurting my gut. After several months of guided protocol with her I started to feel better and soon I was able to heal my gut. I was able to start eating more of the things that would make me so sick before and I was able to stop worrying about symptoms and start enjoying life.
I had also been diagnosed with PCOS and that magically went away once I was able to balance my hormones with Sarah’s help. Years later when I was ready to have a baby I was able to get pregnant right away and I think Sarah had a lot to do with my ability to get pregnant so quickly.
Thank you Sarah for your help!”
— Roberta Vallina
“I was 40 and starting to try and have a baby on my own, so I wanted to prep my body for the best possible odds that I could and knew that meant knowing what was going on with my body internally and treating it like the temple that it is. My story doesn’t have the happy rainbow baby ending that we both dreamt of when we started working together, but it doesn’t change that working with her changed my life, and has continued to help me manage areas that are beyond Fertility related!
I am so grateful for Sarah. I am grateful for her kindness and her level of care. I am grateful that it always feels like a safe space to speak about anything, she leads by example and she is always evolving!! She will forever remain an important resource in my health journey!!”
— Joni Fournier
“Before I started working with her, my hormones were an absolute mess, my cycles were painful, irregular, and had sent me to the hospital on a number of occasions. I had been tossed from doctor to doctor for years, every one of them unable and unwilling to help me. I had lost hope and accepted that this was how my life would be.
Before Sarah’s guidance, my whole life revolved around my cycle. I had to plan my weeks out to accommodate for the pain and bleeding that came with my cycles every month. It was time consuming and debilitating. I felt lethargic, unmotivated, and sluggish nearly every day, and the chronic pain and inconsistency had a large impact on my mental health.
From the first appointment with her, I felt heard, understood, and hopeful for what was to come. I was taught how to treat my PCOS functionally with food, exercise, supplements, and other treatments. With her guidance, I now have completely regular cycles, more energy than ever, and my whole outlook and appreciation for my body has changed for the better.
Sarah has a wealth of knowledge, and a true heart for those who are seeking to get their hormonal life in order. It impacts nearly every aspect of an individual’s life, and she understands and prioritizes that. She is always joyful, warm, welcoming, and willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the success of her patients.
I would recommend Sarah’s services to anyone who is wanting to improve their overall wellbeing and optimize their hormonal health. I am so glad that I made the leap to take control of my hormones and health!”

“I started working with Sarah in 2014, frustrated after a year of trying to heal many health issues from a bad car accident with traditional medicine and prescription drugs that left me with weight gain, sleep issues, and brain fog. It was only after starting to work with Sarah on my diet and supplementation that I really started to feel better and ALL of my issues resolved. Since then, Sarah has helped me with everything from digestive issues to women’s health and even consulted my husband. I have learned so much about nutrition and healthy living from Sarah–I can truly say my diet, pantry, products and routine are so much cleaner as a result of her knowledge and encouragement. I am so much more in tune now with what my body needs and have so many more tools to create good health naturally. Sarah is so positive and has a magical way of helping you improve habits while making you feel good about it at the same time. Her knowledge is deep, her attention to detail incredible, and her practice kind. I now consider Sarah an integral part of my health network and am relieved to know I can consult her about any health issue that comes up.”
— Victoria E.
“I am so thankful for Sarah’s easy, straightforward, and well rounded approach to nutrition counseling. Just after giving birth, I went to Sarah for a nutrition counseling session. I was feeling depleted after pregnancy, birth, and the first few sleepless months with my new baby. Sarah was so understanding and compassionate. She gave me simple, healthy nutrition advice that empowered me to nourish myself so that I could nourish my baby. I left with a grocery shopping list, some new yummy recipes, and the supplements that I needed to supercharge my body postpartum.
After following Sarah’s nutrition plan, I feel healthy, strong, vibrant, and so in love with my son. We are nourished from the inside out. When people ask how I stay healthy as a new mom, I always tell them about Sarah!”
— Katherine Sanz
“I came to Sarah to learn how to balance my blood sugar during the last trimester of my pregnancy, which was imperative because of my recent Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Sarah was thorough, professional, and extremely knowledgeable in the field of nutrition and hormones. I felt at ease with her and I could tell she was very confident that she could help me get back into balance. Sarah was very detailed, asking me tons of questions about my food habits, lifestyle and more. She not only found delicious healthy alternatives for me, but she customized a food plan specifically for my body and needs … If your pregnancy diet isn’t working for you, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Sarah. I highly recommend her! Thank you so much for your help, Sarah!”
– Amorette
“I decided to work with Sarah after receiving some fairly depressing fertility results that had me less than optimistic about my chances of conceiving. I worked with Sarah on implementing a new diet for the 3 months leading up to a second round of testing to get my body and my results in a better place. She was a total professional, I was very impressed with her breadth of knowledge and seriousness about her work. Sarah is the real deal.
Sarah helped me to really understand the foods, vitamins and lifestyle choices that might be affecting my body. In just one consultation, she developed a diet for me, and passed along a lot of helpful information that carried me throughout the 3 month period. It was worth every penny and with Sarah’s suggestions along with an acupuncture regimen, my results completely bounced back to normal levels!
A good majority of the lifestyle changes that I made during this 3 month period have become my everyday – most importantly over-hydrating. Its incredible what water does to our health and even getting rid of my wrinkles!😉
Within just 2 sessions with Sarah I had a full plan that I was able to incorporate. It was completely affordable and I felt like I could easily adjust my life to her suggestions. If I do decide to use my own eggs and get pregnant in the near future, I will absolutely put a plan together with Sarah to get my body ready again.
I’ve recommended Sarah to people so many times :)! I would recommend Sarah to any woman who is considering getting pregnant and wants to prepare her body to be as healthy as possible, anyone who is having issues getting pregnant, or anyone going through any fertility treatments. Sarah has found a unique niche and her passion for this group is really evident.
Sarah didn’t try to sell me on anything – she told me up front that we would really only need a few sessions and that was it. It was incredibly easy to schedule, pay and I thought a lot of value for the money.”
– Sarah Hubbard
“I have followed your plan and have eliminated everything you suggested – and I am a week away from my period and have absolutely ZERO PMS symptoms. I was having major swelling and tender breasts starting two weeks out! You are a miracle worker!”
— Lindsay
“Sarah is such a positive light, she has a nurturing energy about her that makes you feel comfortable acknowledging that sometimes we need to make a scary yet positive change.
After dealing with several dietary restrictions and developing what become an unhealthy relationship with my workouts, leading to losing too much weight and no menstrual cycle for years, it took me years and several doctors to figure out what the right and healthy path was for myself. With Sarah’s help, I learned the gift of self love and how to treat and nurture my body with the right foods, supplements, and self-care, in such a positive way that my body could start healing.
Within one month of working with Sarah and implementing all of her suggestions, my period returned! I couldn’t believe it. What a gift.”
– Emily Fenger
“Working with Sarah has been great. I really love her approach to nutrition and hormonal balance, and her emphasis on eating whole, nutritious, real foods. I came to Sarah because my husband and I would like to conceive, but I haven’t had a period in years likely due to intense frequent exercise and underfueling. While I can’t claim “success” yet, I’ve changed my eating and exercise habits and have noticed positive changes in my body, and intend to keep working at this.
Sarah is great to work with – she has an uplifting, reassuring, calm personality, and provides detailed, thorough nutritional guidance. I especially love her natural approach, and am grateful that I didn’t have to vastly change my approach to eating, but instead just make some small intentional changes of incorporating more nutrition and food into my daily habits.
I’m also happy that I didn’t have to stop all exercise, but instead replaced intense HIIT/cardio/strength sessions with more gentle forms of exercise like hiking, yoga, etc.
The resources, recipes, blog posts, product recommendations, and information Sarah provides through her website and emails are also great and seem thoroughly researched and well-informed. I’m happy I found Sarah, and am looking forward to continuing to work with her. I’d recommend her services to anyone dealing with hormonal issues, missing periods, and/or difficulty conceiving, or really any woman looking to improve her nutrition and fertility.”
— Laura Kimble
“I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help! My periods are normal now – no cramps, no breast tenderness, no cravings! I can go on with my normal routine when I’m on my period, I can’t believe it! My period is only 4 days now, with my fourth day being very light! It use to be six days with one day of no bleeding and then the next day I would start bleeding again. So again, thank you for all you do!”
— Erika
“Hi Sarah! Just wanted to let you know that I got my period today!! First time in 4 years, and I give so much thanks to you!! I know you have helped me the most of any doctor that I have seen in the past few years. Thanks again for everything.”
— Kelly P.
“I sought her help initially because I was having debilitating migraines. I had tried different things including various medicines. After my first visit with Sarah, I have never had another migraine!
She did a thorough assessment and made recommendations regarding diet and supplements. I began to feel better immediately. I continued to work with her on energy levels and sleep difficulties – also with great success.
A few years later, I developed an autoimmune disease, which was undiagnosed by several doctors. I called Sarah with blood work results and she told me what she thought it was and what tests I should get. Once again, she was right on. I then worked with Sarah to address what was causing the disease and to reduce the inflammation in my body.
Her knowledge of the body, its systems, blood, hormones and more is amazing. Even better is her ability to explain what is happening and the reasons for her recommendations.
Recently, I am back, yet again, working with Sarah on bone related issues such as osteopenia/osteoporosis. Her background and knowledge regarding hormones is impressive to say the least. I have such confidence in her ability to see the big picture, and to suggest ways to help my body heal and get stronger.
I find Sarah to be extremely smart, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and thorough. She is easy to talk to and very supportive. She works well with other professionals. I trust her completely.”
— Celia Sinoway
“I had been to numerous doctors and through many tests and procedures, all with no definitive results. I had learned to adapt and endure what seemed to be random painful food related symptoms. At my first appointment with Sarah she helped me figure out what had been ailing me for over 25 years.
After eliminating gluten from my diet I have been symptom free for the first time in my life. I was a little nervous to make such a dramatic shift in my diet but Sarah helped me transition into a new way of living with a high level of support. Her treatment plans are very detailed and include specific brands so I know exactly what to look for when I’m shopping. She sends me hundreds of recipes and quickly responds to follow up questions.
I had considered myself to be a healthy and knowledgeable food consumer but Sarah opened my eyes to a whole new level of honest and quality information that is not commonly disseminated in our society.
Sarah has changed my life, improved my family’s quality of health, and positively impacted the community that surrounds me. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone that has a sincere interest in making meaningful changes in their life through nutrition.”
— Megan
“Sarah has been so helpful on my journey towards pregnancy. As a vegetarian, I was concerned about my diet not providing everything I needed to create a healthy environment for a baby. Sarah gladly answered any questions I had, dispelled myths I grew up believing and gave me helpful tips to introduce healthy fats into my diet.
Beyond helping me with my vegetarian diet, I had an unexpected bonus after several months of working with her. I have always had a long cycle (6 weeks) which led doctors to believe I may suffer from PCOS. However, after working with Sarah and shifting several things in my diet I have now started having regular 30 day cycles!
This seems like a real sign that I am on the right track with my diet and well being. I am extremely happy that I chose to get my nutrition in order and that Sarah was next to me each step of the way.
I would recommend her hands down, she made a potentially difficult task much easier with her welcoming environment and easily understood advice.”
— Adria
“In 2009, friends and family started noticing that my hair was thinning. I hadn’t really noticed it was getting thin at first, but after grabbing a mirror, I made an appointment with my regular doctor. I was referred to a dermatologist. The dermatologist took some blood samples, and my testosterone was through the roof. I was immediately referred to an endocrinologist.
My symptoms included: thinning hair, absence of periods, weight gain, abnormal growth of hair on my face, and hypothyroidism. My diagnosis was PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). The plan was for me to lose weight and to re-grow my hair. To do that he prescribed high blood pressure medication (even though I didn’t have high blood pressure) as he said it would help re-grow my hair.
I took the medication for a few months. The only thing that came from the medication was a constantly feeling sick to my stomach. I was telling my sister about it, and she said I should come to Denver to meet with Sarah. So I made the trip.
I’m so glad my sister referred me to Sarah and that I made an appointment with her. My experience and journey with Sarah has been amazing. I’ve learned to change my eating habits and feel so much better. That was the biggest change for me. We all like to think we are eating healthy, when in fact some of the things we eat really aren’t good for us.
I also take certain supplements and have incorporated exercise, based on Sarah’s recommendations. I feel so much better and am very happy with the changes I’ve made. Sarah helped me with hair re-growth, getting my hormones under control, getting my periods back on track, and reversing the side effects of PCOS. I would recommend Sarah to my friends, family and even strangers!!”
— Jessica Meyer
“I was in need of getting my hormones balanced, and I did not realize how fundamental my diet was in making that happen. I have learned so much valuable information about what to eat and why. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Sarah continues to be as she is always available to graciously answer my many questions about food and healthy living in general. I will always be thankful for her availability and willingness to share her knowledge with me!”
— Tristen Anderson
“I have been working with Sarah through different phases in the growth of my family. Although my diet has always been full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and mostly grain-free, it was lacking in good sources of protein and essential fats such as coconut and olive oils, butter, grass-fed meats and pastured eggs.
I feel this addition has helped decrease sugar cravings, sustain energy levels and improve skin healing. I also contribute this to my first daughter’s strong health.
Most recently, Sarah has helped us in treating my second daughter’s constipation and reflux. Bone broth along with prebiotics and probiotics have been key elements in her improvement.
Sarah has been an excellent resource for our family. We all could benefit from her knowledge. Food is medicine.”
— Kim Terry
“I was nutritionally depleted, exhausted and needed support and guidance to get my health and well-being back on track. With Sarah’s recipes, supplement recommendations, and follow-up, I started to feel balanced and replenished than I had in years
– Annie Horn
“I first spoke with Sarah almost three years ago – a couple of weeks after my son was born. I had asked our doula for a nutritionist recommendation. I mentioned to Sarah that my infant was suffering from thrush and she had a plan for that. She said, since I was exclusively breastfeeding, that the sugar in my body was allowing the thrush to continue to thrive in his body. So, in addition to taking some supplements, I needed to stop eating anything my body could make into sugar, including dairy and grains, and obviously … sugar.
Of course I wanted my son to get better, so I when I hung up the phone I went grocery shopping for everything on Sarah’s list. My son’s thrush cleared up quickly and a few weeks later, the strangest thing happened. I was in line at the grocery store and I glanced over at the candy. For the first time in my life, I didn’t crave anything I saw. The rows of chocolate had no effect on me! As it turns out, all I had to do was get the sugar out of my system and I didn’t crave it anymore!
After a few months of eating this I was leaner and more energetic. Sarah also helped us learn the best ways to introduce healthy foods to our son. When he had his latest dental checkup, the dentist said she never sees toddler teeth that healthy! Our son is almost three and he prefers some pineapple to any processed snacks or junk!”
— Sarah Gabriele
“Due to a medical procedure, my milk supply dropped. Sarah was able to suggest detailed food items and recipes that boosted my milk supply and I was back up to my normal production within days. The food she suggested was wholesome, delicious, and best of all … nutritive for my five month old son. Thank you, Sarah!!”
— Dana F.
“My experience working with Sarah has been exceptional. Her guidance is tailored specifically to me and, more importantly, she meets me exactly where I am at, which makes nutrition and fitness goals feel attainable.
Sarah provides research-based nutrition and exercise guidelines. She provides us with research articles as well as handouts that explain things for the layperson. Understanding the research behind what I am doing helps motivate me. Sarah also provides incredible resources including endless recipes, snack ideas, apps and other online tools to support my progress.
Sarah has a wealth of knowledge and applies it beautifully to fit my individual needs. Sarah has helped me understand basic nutrition in a way that I never have before. More specifically, she helped me understand the relationship between nutrition, hormones, and breastfeeding.
Her 30 minute check-ins over Skype have given me accountability as well as new information exactly when I need the motivation to keep on track. The biggest motivator, however, has been that I feel better. My experience tells me that listening to Sarah’s guidance is a true lifestyle change – and one that feels empowering.
My entire approach to food changed through my work with Sarah. My husband and I stopped eating grains and soy – two major components of our pre-Sarah diet. I have also learned about the benefits of fat, which was counterintuitive in the beginning having grown up in a culture that promotes “low/no-fat diets.”
The biggest change I notice is that my mood is significantly more stable. I also that feel my energy level stays constant throughout the day, unlike before. I don’t have the highs and lows emotionally or physically. I feel strong and balanced. This says a lot having just had a baby!
The benefits I’ve experienced working with Sarah include more balance and stability emotionally as well as physically; weight loss without having to beat myself up or diet; lifestyle changes that will benefit my son as well; physical fitness as a result of research-based information (i.e. doing shorter HIIT workouts), which was much more manageable postpartum; understanding and appreciation of REAL food – I love that I get to enjoy butter; high quality vitamins and protein sources; and lastly, I feel more informed on the food industry and marketing strategies that warp our understanding of what is good for us.
I would recommend Sarah’s services to any and everyone. I benefited from doing our first session with Sarah as a couple as it has given us a shared foundation in our knowledge and lifestyle goals. I think it was exceptionally helpful to work with Sarah soon after having a baby, and only wish that I had met her before pregnancy!”
— Katie Spencer
“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience working with Sarah. Throughout my life I have experienced health issues and allergies but had never sought the help of a nutritionist (wish I had done it earlier!).
It was not until after giving birth to my second child that I felt it was imperative to work with a nutritionist – not only to jump start my own health and find my way back to my body after babies, but also to jumpstart our family’s eating habits for the health of everyone in the family. I found that shaping my eating habits for health also shaped my family’s, since I am the primary food purchaser and chef for my family.
I found Sarah’s approach very well-rounded and scientific and easy to understand and jump on board. Our focus was based on an in-depth blood screen, a hormonal screen, and of course the story of my personal observations. Our approach was a personal approach that focused on hormonal balance, immune boost, gut health and adrenal support. Sarah helped me with my health and my family’s health in a multitude of ways.
Personally, I found that the change in my diet gave me more energy and less swings in energy and blood sugar. The supplements totally erased my PMS mood swings and lack of energy. What used to be a week of PMS moodiness and tiredness, turned into just one day – only on the first day of my menstrual cycle! It was a very amazing change from “Oh, this is just the way I am” to “Wow, what I put in my body really affects how I feel!”.
What also totally disappeared was the chin acne that usually also appeared each month before my cycle. The other huge change was that usually I was very prone to easily getting sick if I had a bad night of sleep, or stayed out too late. It seemed any little thing could put me over the edge and I constantly got sick with ear and sinus infections. Now I only get sick once a year – it’s amazing.
I am also very happy with how much my whole family has benefitted – it took some organization and planning but it has totally paid off, our family maintains a very high level of health, rarely getting sick.
I would recommend Sarah to any woman struggling with hormonal imbalances which could manifest in the form of mood swings, acne or abnormal menstrual cycles, etc. I would also suggest Sarah to any family that is struggling with health, i.e. getting sick all the time or a family that is having a hard time getting healthy meals on the table on a continual basis.”
— Sarah Klingelheber
“My experience working with Sarah has been life changing. I came to her really frustrated because I had gone to medical Dr.’s as well as “nutritionists” only to get the same unhelpful, antiquated, “throw a pill at it” advice. I was lucky to get referred to Sarah from a friend. We sat down and discussed my issues. I could tell by looking at her and her reactions that she knew exactly what was going on. She is very honest and knowledgeable about what she does, a true expert.
She asked me if I could commit to a new way of eating for 30 days. I thought I can do anything for 30 days! I started noticing a positive difference within 7-10 days, which made the remaining 20 very easy. I didn’t know how bad I felt, until I started feeling really good!
My issues were a food intolerance that was creating symptoms, which Sarah knew how to eliminate right away. The other modifications she recommended to my diet were what allowed me to start feeling really good. Increased energy, better sleeping, clearer head, and less bloat. After the 30 days we met again and she asked how I felt, and what I wanted to add back in to my diet. I said I felt great and didn’t want to change a thing! I think she was a little surprised, but I had not felt this good since my 20’s.
She taught me what to look for in foods and how to make the best choices for me. I don’t feel restricted in what I am putting in my body at all. I have been eating this way for over 20 months, and have read many books that compliment this. I have and would recommend Sarah to anyone who wants to make a positive change in their lives. The people I have recommended to her, would say the same.”
— Michelle Gilly
“I was suffering from menopause and it was awful! I had hot flashes all the time, crying because of how miserable I was and just felt funky. I had been taking synthetic hormones through a different doctor, having blood tests to check my levels of hormones and general health. After working with Sarah, she taught me that these synthetic hormones were not what I needed, and that the blood test was only a snapshot of my health at a particular time. We did a saliva test (it is a test where you collect your saliva throughout the entire day) and I was amazed at how much more of an indicator it was of what was going on in my body! My hormones were so high, it was scary!
With Sarah’s guidance, I now am taking supplements that are SO much better for my health. And my hot flashes and feeling bad have pretty much disappeared (unless I forget to take my supplements)! I feel SO much better, happier, healthier – all thanks to my guardian angel, Sarah. I would never go anywhere else or TO anyone else with any female issues that I might have.
I can’t thank her enough for her guidance, it has been a godsend.”
— Marni Erwin
I’ve worked with hundreds of women, helping them get pregnant, stay pregnant, and teaching them how to alleviate the common modern hormone imbalances (such as PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, and many others).
Ultimately they understand how to live in hormonal flow each and every day.
Whether you’re trying to fix your hormonal chaos, get pregnant, grow a healthy baby, or ultimately just feel happy and content in your body, I’m so glad you’re here!
