Sara Adams is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who is passionate about helping individuals rediscover the joy of eating while supporting their current and future health. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics with a minor in Psychology and her Master of Science in Dietetics from Purdue University, where she also completed her dietetic internship.

Sara approaches nutrition counseling with the belief that nutrition should be practical, accessible, sustainable, and individualized. She practices from a Health at Every Size® (HAES®), “all foods fit,” and nutrition-by-addition perspective, providing evidence-based and compassionate care tailored to each client's unique needs, experiences, and values. Rather than focusing on restriction or rigid food rules, Sara helps clients explore ways to nourish themselves while building greater self-compassion, flexibility, and trust in their bodies.

Sara has a special interest in eating disorders and disordered eating, sports and performance nutrition, Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S), and low energy availability. She enjoys working with athletes and performers—including those involved in sports, dance, theater, and other performing arts—who are navigating the intersection of nutrition, performance, body image, and their relationship with food.

Sara recognizes that athletes and performers can face unique pressures surrounding body size, appearance, training, and performance. She helps clients understand the important role adequate nutrition plays in physical and mental health, recovery, injury prevention, and performance while supporting a relationship with food that is flexible and sustainable. For individuals experiencing low energy availability or RED-S, Sara works collaboratively to support adequate fueling and help clients better understand how nutrition can impact multiple aspects of health and performance.

Sara particularly enjoys working with neurodivergent individuals and provides neurodivergent-affirming nutrition care. She recognizes that sensory preferences, executive functioning, routines, interoception, and other individual differences can influence eating. Rather than expecting clients to conform to a single way of approaching nutrition, Sara works alongside them to identify realistic strategies that respect how they experience and navigate the world.

Sara is also committed to providing LGBTQIA+ affirming care and creating a space where individuals of all body sizes, identities, genders, and backgrounds feel respected and welcomed. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect for each client's lived experience are important foundations of her work.

In addition to eating disorder treatment, Sara has a special interest in diabetes management, sports nutrition, and women's health. She enjoys helping clients navigate medical nutrition needs without losing sight of their overall relationship with food, recognizing that supporting physical health and developing a peaceful, sustainable approach to eating can—and should—coexist.

Above all, Sara views nutrition counseling as a partnership. She works alongside clients to develop the knowledge, confidence, and self-trust needed to nourish themselves in ways that support their health, values, and the life they want to live.
