“Ms Mirkin was direct , but kind. She explained why I need to increase protein , and give me lists of what I need and even recipes for meals.
Even confronted why I drink and what to donate”

“Sarah Mirkin was personable and very thorough!! I left our first appointment with much more clarity and a whole lot of resources, links, grocery checklists, actionable steps and an expected timeline for recovery. It provided me with hope. This, to me, is what medical care should look like- putting information and agency in the hands of the patient. Feeling very grateful to start this healing journey with Sarah!”

About Sarah Mirkin

Hi, I’m Sarah, a Registered Dietitian specializing in digestive health and weight management. I help clients improve IBS, SIBO, bloating, constipation, and reflux while also achieving sustainable weight loss—without restrictive dieting.
If you’ve been struggling with your weight or digestion and feel like nothing has worked, you’re not alone. Many of my clients come to me after trying multiple diets, eliminating foods, or following plans that were too restrictive or didn’t address the root cause.
My approach is personalized, realistic, and results-driven. I focus on improving gut health, supporting metabolism, and helping you build habits you can actually maintain long term.
I also understand this personally. After struggling with my own weight and developing IBS from years of restrictive dieting, I was able to restore my gut health, reach my ideal weight, and create a healthier relationship with food. That experience shaped how I work with clients today.
I work with:
IBS, SIBO, bloating, constipation, and GERD
Weight loss resistance and metabolic health
Digestive issues affecting weight and energy
Food sensitivities and intolerances
I also support clients with diabetes, high cholesterol, PCOS, hypertension, autoimmune conditions, and disordered eating patterns.
During your first visit, we’ll review your history, symptoms, and goals in detail. You’ll leave with a clear, personalized plan and practical steps you can start right away.
My goal is to help you feel better quickly while creating lasting results.
I am a Monash-trained low FODMAP dietitian, registered dietitian, certified personal trainer, author of Fill Your Plate, Lose the Weight and The Beginner’s Guide to Low FODMAP, and a media spokesperson featured in outlets including Forbes, Martha Stewart Living, Women’s Health, Self, Poosh, and Real Simple.

I look forward to working with you.

I found Sarah on Zocdoc and was excited for my appointment after reading all the positive reviews. As an athlete, I’ve struggled with nutrition and mental health, and I was hoping for guidance on my diet. Instead, I felt judged for everything I was doing “wrong,” despite explaining that eating at all was a challenge due to my medication and depression. It seemed like Sarah was more focused on mentioning her books than listening to my unique situation. The session turned into a weight loss consultation, though I never asked to lose weight. Sarah may be great for those needing structured diets, but if you're looking for kindness and understanding, I’d look elsewhere.

Sarah Mirkin's food coaching changed my life. A few years ago my IBS/ stomach issues began to constantly flair up. I had so much discomfort that I went to several GI docs. They all told me I had IBS but didn't help me. Then I found Sarah. She referred me to the right GI doc and put me on the low FODMAP diet. At first the FODMAP diet seemed impossible and out of reach. Sarah guided me through everything. Looking back, those sessions with Sarah changed my life. Fast forward to now, I know what foods to eat, what not to eat and what to order or substitute at a restaurant. I also keep my packets of fodzyme in my purse and have no problem sharing what they are with a group dinner. If you're struggling with stomach issues you need Sarah to figure out your unique triggers so you can live your life without having to worry about your stomach all of the time. I did and now I'm 90% symptom free.

Sarah's a lifesaver & helped guide me to understanding my gut issues & learning to adapt without long-term sacrifices.
I found Sarah when I was battling my second bout of SIBO, feeling frustrated & hopeless. I was so anxious, pouring through research & feeling like I couldn't mend my gut with no clear answers or sustainable remedy in sight. Sarah assured me she'd help me get better & listened to my concerns, medical history, & what wasn't working for me. She was able to give me a blueprint and guide me through my SIBO eradication through elimination FODMAP dieting to learn what my trigger foods were, educate me on what substitute foods I could reach for & answered all my questions through the process. Once I was finished with FODMAP reintro I felt empowered knowing what food types were triggers for me, and with Sarah's help which enzymes I could take to help me still eat those food groups without strong symptoms - for SIBO prevention and generally feeling normal again. Thank you Sarah!

I learned so much! I'm so grateful for Dr. Mirkin's help! I've struggled with stomach problems my entire life. I saw several GI docs but none helped me. I was so frustrated. I never thought I could get better. I can honestly say that with Sarah's help I'm 90% better. She has been a godsend! I went from looking 9 months pregnant every day to a flat stomach. I feel better than I ever have in my life! She walked me through the low FODMAP diet and provided so many resources that it was much easier than I expected. It's so nice to be able to eat again with out fear.

My visit with Dr. Mirkin was great! I always thought that my diet was very healthy and I couldn't understand why I wasn't losing weight with all the exercise I do. I Really didn't think anyone would be able to help me. Dr Mirkin helps me to realize even though my diet was healthy I was eating too much of some healthy foods that were causing me to gain weight, i wasn't balancing my meals properly, and my exercise was all wrong. We've had a few visits since the first visit and the weight seems to be falling off! She describes her method as efficient and effective weight loss for long-term results. I have to say I am proof that this is true!

Sarah is a lifesaver! I was suffering with severe constipation and bloating for years. I went to a handful of doctors but they all just said I had IBS and I should eat more fiber. They said take probiotics and Metamucil but nothing helped. Sarah told me that I should stay away from both and had me test for SIBO. Turns out that was it! I followed her guidance every step of the way and I can honestly say I've never felt better! I highly recommend Sarah to anyone struggling with gut issues!

Sarah was fabulous! I was suffering with IBS for years and never thought I could be a "normal person". After one week of working with Sarah I felt better than I had in years. She walked me through the low FODMAP diet and reintroduction. It was so much easier than I had thought with all of her resources, recipes, and guidance. I'm thrilled that I have my life back, thanks to Sarah.

I don’t even know where to start. Nutritionist/dietician Sarah Mirkin changed my life. I’m a busy professional and I couldn’t get some weight I gained off, and couldn’t stop eating bad foods. Sarah helped me reduce emotional eating and increase my energy through healthy eating strategies and exercise that were all personalized for my changing situations, wants, needs, and patterns. And it’s all science-backed.
She is not a stuffy doctor—she gets it. She can feels more like a concierge and a coach with the knowledge, background, and expertise of a medical professional.
I hate cooking, but her easy, delicious recipes make it a breeze to create healthy, yummy, balanced meals that I can grab and go. I hate exercise but she helped make it fun for me.
She is so kind, friendly, and encouraging. She doesn’t give up when I’m struggling. She helps me stay positive and get back on track. Everything in my life feels easier now that I have her help.
I’m forever grateful for Sarah’s help!

Sarah Mirkin has been amazing! I'm so happy I found her. Before Sarah I was eating a lot of sugar! I didn't really care about my health, only calories and the scale. I also hated to exercise. Sarah taught me the importance of eating for my health and to feel good. Now I barely eat sugar, and instead I eat healthy delicious meals. My weight is lower than ever and I feel great! She also gave me just the right push to exercise. Now it has become habit and I love it. I'd highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for help with their diet, or want a healthier way of life .

Sarah is the best nutritionist I have ever worked with. She is very knowledgeable and well informed. I was struggling to lose weight for years that was plateaued. Sarah helped me change my eating habits and I have lost over fifteen pounds being insulin resistant. I eat more and feel better!
