Hi, I’m Sarah Remmer

As a dietitian, mom, and fierce advocate for food freedom and raising kids who have a positive relationship with food, I break down nutritional science and challenge age-old feeding models so you can finally feel empowered and at ease when it comes to feeding your family and yourself.

In a space with an overwhelming amount of information (and misinformation), I am a trusted voice in translating the science of nutrition into practical tools and relatable guidance that’s fun, easy, and nourishing for all.

With nearly 20 years of experience working with families as a registered dietitian and raising three of my own eaters, I’ve got you!
