Struggling with Hormones, Gut Issues, or Low Energy?
Hello, I’m Sarah Flower – a UK-based nutritionist with over 30 years of experience, a love of good food, and a deep respect for what your body’s trying to tell you. I work with clients from all over the UK, either from my clinic in Exeter or from the comfort of your own home, virtually, via Zoom.
My specialty? Gut health, hormones, and the immune system – because when those are out of balance, everything else tends to follow. I use a functional medicine approach to get to the root of what’s going on, combining diagnostic testing, evidence-based nutrition, and a bit of practical magic to help you feel like yourself again, with more energy, better sleep, and a happier gut.
I’ve been through my own autoimmune journey, so I truly get it. This is personalised support, not a one-size-fits-all plan, and yes, food can still be joyful.
I’ve also written 24 cookbooks, plus ghost-written more, so you can expect real-life recipes, not just theory, and with email support you offered with each booking, you will get the guidance you need to make real change.
Menopause & Hormones
Support for perimenopause and menopause symptoms including fatigue, anxiety, hot flushes, insomnia, low mood, and hormonal weight gain.
I take a whole-body approach to hormone balance — using functional testing, nutrition, lifestyle shifts, and targeted supplements. Together, we’ll address key drivers like cortisol, insulin, thyroid function, and oestrogen metabolism to help you feel calm, clear, and in control again.
Gut & Digestive Health
Personalised strategies for IBS, bloating, constipation, SIBO, candida, and food intolerance. I use comprehensive stool and breath testing to identify the root cause — whether it’s microbial imbalance, low stomach acid, or hidden inflammation.
​
By supporting your gut-brain axis, calming the immune system, and restoring gut lining integrity, we’ll work to rebuild resilience from the inside out.
Sustainable Weight Loss
Struggling with weight gain, cravings, or hormonal shifts affecting your metabolism? I offer a personalised, science-backed approach that restores balance rather than chasing quick fixes.
​
We’ll explore your unique health picture — including possible issues like insulin resistance, cortisol or thyroid imbalance — and create a realistic plan that helps you feel energised, confident, and back in control.
How I can Help You Feel Like You Again
I have a passion to balance hormones, especially during menopause and perimenopause. I work with women navigating fatigue, stubborn weight gain, bloating, brain fog, and hormonal shifts. Whether you’re in perimenopause, dealing with gut issues, or simply feeling off, we’ll uncover the root causes using functional testing, personalised nutrition, and gentle, sustainable strategies.
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.
