Meet Sarah Wade
Clinical Nutritionist
Sarah Wade (preferred name Wade) is a Bachelor-qualified Clinical Nutritionist (BHSc Clinical Nutrition) and Certified Practicing Nutritionist, with a passion for helping people uncover the root cause of their health concerns and achieve lasting improvements in their wellbeing.
She holds a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition) from Endeavour College of Natural Health and is a registered practitioner with the Australasian Association and Register of Practising Nutritionists (AARPN).
Wade’s journey into clinical nutrition began after experiencing a rare kidney condition, which showed her first-hand the powerful connection between nutrition, lifestyle and long-term health. During that time, she learned how important it is to feel supported by practitioners who are empathetic, who listen carefully, and who take a holistic approach to understanding the drivers behind health concerns.
That experience shaped her passion for helping others feel heard, understood and supported, while creating practical and sustainable strategies to improve health.
Wade believes that food and nutrition are the foundation of health, but that every person’s biology, history and lifestyle are unique. Rather than focusing on isolated symptoms, her approach looks at the whole person — your health history, your daily habits, your environment and your goals.
By asking deeper questions and exploring the “why” behind symptoms, Wade helps patients gain clarity about what may be contributing to their health concerns and what practical steps can help move things forward.

What sets Wade apart is her laser focus on food and nutraceuticals as the foundation of gut health. Wade ensures your meals actively grow and nourish the good bacteria, creating a microbiome that amplifies the benefits of other therapies.
