Nutritional Therapy with
Sara Russell, Ph.D., FNTP

Before we decide to work together, you will schedule a complimentary 15-minute discovery call. During this exploratory session, we talk about how we can work together to reach your goals. At that time, you are welcome to ask questions about my approach and experience.

Root-Cause Systems Mapping & Nutritional Therapy

An evidence-based, deeply individualized approach for your complex health journey

I take on a limited number of private clients who are ready to look beyond blanket protocols, dig into root causes, and build a sustainable path back to vitality.

My clinical practice is intentionally small, because complex cases require dedicated cognitive capacity, not an assembly-line approach.

How we’ll move the needle on your health

Standard functional medicine often relies on fixed protocols. My approach relies on systems thinking and clinical detective work.

Uncovering your true root cause requires integrating both biology and biography. This is why I combine hard lab data with the lived experience only you can report. By mapping these seemingly unrelated pieces into a complete picture, I identify your body’s unique order of operations to create a clear, targeted path forward:

• Biographical & Epigenetic Context: Your individual timeline, parental health baseline, and emotional climate.
• Environmental & Occupational Load: Historical exposures, hidden stressors, and lifestyle pressures.
• Biomarkers & Interventions: What you’ve already tried, how your body responded, and where standard labs left blind spots.

By mapping these interconnected pieces into a unified system, I identify the optimal order of operations for your body, ensuring our interventions build momentum without overwhelming your nervous system.

Your client experience

When you work with me, you won’t get any generic protocols. You’ll benefit from my extensive clinical experience, deep research rigor, intuitive insights, and relentless attention to detail.

• Targeted, Practical Protocols: Your nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations are grounded in current research, clinical evidence, and tailored strictly to the realities of your daily life.
• Dedicated Cognitive Capacity: I intentionally keep my private practice small. Balancing my work with my homestead, creative projects, and family ensures that I never run my practice like an assembly line. When I take on your case, you receive my intentional, unhurried focus.
• Empathetic Collaboration: We work together as partners. I combine hard analytical data with the soft data of your lived experience.
• Expansive framework: Eating should be joyful and pleasant. You won’t be expected to follow unnecessary restrictions of any kind.

My goal is to find the smallest, least disruptive changes that create the largest shift in your health. 

How to Get Started

Discovery Call: Schedule your discovery call via the link on the button below. In the call, we’ll discuss your case, evaluate fit, and determine if my methodology aligns with your needs. 

Note: I don’t run my discovery calls as sales calls. They are a space for me to be curious about your story, what I can bring to the table, and whether I am a good fit for you. It’s a space for you to ask the questions to learn whether you feel confident working with me.

Custom Proposal: If we mutually decide to move forward, I will send a tailored project proposal directly to your inbox outlining our next steps.
