About Sarah Riddle MS, CCN
Sarah holds a Master of
Science degree in Human Nutrition from the University of
Bridgeport, an accredited graduate program which focuses on
the role of human nutrition as a preventative, adjunctive,
and alternative strategy for intervention in the disease
process.
Sarah also holds the
designation of Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN) which
establishes standards of excellence in the field of
nutrition. As a CCN, Sarah is required to
have an understanding
of nutrition biochemistry that enables her to competently
assess and evaluate signs of nutritional deficiency or
imbalance, through the use or elimination of specific foods,
vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other food substances as
necessary to maintain optimal health. Continuing education
is required in order to maintain this distinguished
certification.
When Sarah isn’t counseling
clients in nutrition and exercise, she enjoys dancing,
reading, hiking, and laughing (the best stress reliever!)
with her family and friends.
“As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others
permission to do the same”
-Nelson Mandela
Holistic
Weight Loss Programs
Our Nutrition Team believes
weight loss is a healing process in which your body strives
toward optimal health in order to effectively lose weight
and keep it off. This methodology is the backbone for each
of our individual and group weight loss programs.
Holistic weight loss differs
from many of the popular weight loss programs and
encompasses the following characteristics;
►
Attention to the whole being –
mind, body, and spirit
►
Attention to all aspects of
life including sleep, stress, relationships,
and exercise
►
Emphasis on whole foods
►
Movement away from packaged,
processed foods
►
More satisfying – sufficient
calories from a balance of food sources
►
More nutritional – supplies
significant amounts of vitamins and minerals
►
Use of nutrient therapy
►
Weight loss occurs slower,
healthier, and is longer-lasting -
95% of
people who lose weight gain it back within 2
years!
Sarah offers individual and
group holistic weight loss programs. Individual
consultations are done on a session-by-session basis or in 6
and 12 week programs. The programs provide significant
savings and include your body composition and metabolism
analysis.
Sarah’s
Holistic Weight Loss and Healthy
Lifestyle Group is an educational, supportive,
affordable, and fun way to create a healthier you. Group
members enjoy interacting with new people, receiving
support, learning how to set effective goals and feel good
about their accomplishments, using meditation for stress
relief and mindfulness while eating, trying fun, new
exercises, and learning to plan healthy, satisfying meals.

Body
Composition and Metabolism Analysis
Our Nutrition Team utilizes
state-of-the-art equipment in order to measure your body
composition and resting metabolism.
The
Tanita Body Composition Analyzer utilizes
bioelectrical impedance, an extremely reliable method for
body composition analysis. It’s fast, consistent, accurate
and easy to use. More than simple weight or body fat %
levels provided by ordinary scales or calipers, Tanita Body
Composition Analyzers provide detailed body composition
analysis – weight, body fat %, fat mass, fat-free mass,
resting metabolism, and hydration levels - all without the
inconvenience of more intrusive traditional measurement
methods.
Why test your
body composition?
►
To distinguish between body fat and lean body mass
►
To ensure optimal hydration
levels
►
To determine the # of calories
your body needs at rest
►
To prevent weight related
health problems, including malnutrition
►
To provide measures of healthy
weight loss, in addition to the scale
The Tanita shows changes when
the scale doesn’t - a huge impact on your motivation during
the weight loss process.
The
Reevue Metabolic Testing is a truly unique,
breakthrough method used to measure your Resting Energy
Expenditure, the number of calories your body burns at
rest. This simple breath test is 98.7% accurate, FDA
approved, and may be reimbursed by your health insurance
company. Receive a printout with your personal metabolic
profile and target calorie zones. No more guessing - find
out how many calories your body burns in a day and how
fast. Individualized meal plans can be created based on
your true metabolic rate, lifestyle, and wellness goals. In
addition, affordable, customized online meal planning with
12 months online access is available.
The Wellness Way Program
The Wellness Way Program is an individualized, comprehensive
wellness program utilizing integrative healthcare modalities

Recovery from Eating
Disorders
Our team of clinicians offers comprehensive treatment
programs for individuals and families struggling to overcome
eating disorders. Our multifaceted approach includes
individual, group and family therapy, as well as state of
the art nutrition and nutraceutical intervention.
In our counseling, therapy, groups,
workshops and unique coaching programs, we offer an
alternative to chronic dieting and compulsive eating along
with customized recovery programs for overcoming obesity,
food, weight and dieting obsessions. Our
center is highly regarded for successfully assisting
numerous individuals to achieve freedom from compulsive
eating/dieting disorders.
Clinical Nutrition
Clinical nutrition is the study of the relationship between
food and the well-being of the body and mind.
This discipline applies principles
derived from current biochemical and physiological
scientific knowledge for the purpose of promoting optimal
health while recognizing biochemical individuality – a
concept which suggests that no two individuals have the same
nutrient requirements and that our needs will change
throughout our lifetimes. Food is used as medicine
to help heal the body at the source of the problem and also
as prevention against certain chronic diseases. Clinical
Nutritionists offer ongoing support in the development and
continued success of your individualized food plan and
lifestyle changes.
“Today you are you, that is truer than true.
There is no one alive who is youer than you.”
-Dr. Seuss

Naturopathic Medicine
Naturopathic practitioners understand that what we choose to
eat directly
 influences
every outcome of our health. Without adequate nutrition, we
cannot function properly. The cells of our bodies require
energy and raw materials to work at optimal levels. The
body’s biochemistry is delicately balanced and thrives on
key nutrients, antioxidant rich and toxin-free foods.
Clinical nutrition is the
practice of using what we eat to enhance our health, reverse
disease and heal pathology. Many medical conditions
can be treated effectively with nutrition while avoiding the
complications and side effects of drug therapies.
Nutritional treatments are customized to the individual’s
needs and health circumstances. Literally, “we are what we
eat”!
Nutritional Psychology
This emerging field links biochemistry,
environment, emotions and addictions, recognizing the
interconnectedness and impact of each on the other, and
offers an innovative and successful approach to the
treatment of addictions, mood disorders, and food/weight
problems. Since 75-90 % of addicts
of all kinds are unable to sustain recovery or abstinence
through traditional treatment programs, nutritional
psychology along with integrative and functional medicine
offers hope and intervention where there had been little.
Deborah Coulston, MA,
has extensive experience treating food and mood related
disorders and addictions, integrating nutrient therapies,
whole food plans, and alternative and behavioral medicine
modalities along with conventional counseling and education.
