I’m Sarah Flower, a UK based nutritionist with over 30 years’ experience, a love of good food, and a deep respect for what your body is trying to tell you. I work with clients across the UK, either from my clinic in Exeter or virtually via Zoom.
My work focuses on gut health, hormones, and the immune system, because when these are out of balance, everything else feels harder. I use a functional medicine approach to look for root causes, combining evidence informed nutrition, appropriate testing and practical, realistic changes that fit real life.
I’ve been through my own autoimmune journey, so I understand how frustrating it can feel when symptoms linger and answers are unclear. I offer personalised support rather than one size fits all plans, and yes, food can still be joyful.
Alongside my clinical work, I’ve written 24 cookbooks and ghostwritten many more. My approach is
always practical, realistic and grounded in everyday cooking, not theory.

Just a chance to talk through what’s going on and see if I’m the right fit to support you
Support through perimenopause, menopause and beyond. If you’re dealing with fatigue, weight changes, poor sleep, anxiety or feeling unlike yourself, personalised nutrition and lifestyle support can make a real difference.

Gut & Digestive Health
Ongoing bloating, IBS-type symptoms, reflux, or food reactions can be frustrating and exhausting. I work to identify root causes, whether overgrowths, histamine, food intolerances, poor digestion, or more, and create clear, practical plans that support digestion, energy, and overall wellbeing.

Sustainable Weight Support
Weight gain, stubborn weight, and ongoing cravings are rarely about willpower alone. I support clients through sustainable weight management, including those using GLP-1 medications, with a focus on nutrition, blood sugar balance, gut health, and long-term wellbeing.
How I can Help You Feel Like You Again
Feel better, think clearer, and take control of your health. I’ll help you get answers and real solutions — starting with a free call. I’ve helped hundreds of women navigate gut problems, menopause symptoms, and stubborn fatigue
Having experienced this first hand, as well as in clinic, I really understand the issues women face during this chaotic time. I blend clinical insight with real-life practicality. I don’t just give you a plan — I help you understand why your body is acting this way, and how to support lasting change.
