Sarah Mitchell - Diet Counselor | Transform Your Health in Texas

Meet Your Diet Counselor

Hi, I'm Sarah Mitchell

With over 8 years of experience helping clients achieve their health goals, I combine nutrition science with personalized coaching to create practical, sustainable eating habits. As a Registered Dietitian practicing in Austin, Texas, I'm passionate about empowering people to make choices that improve their energy, mood, and overall health.

My journey into nutrition began during my own health transformation in college. I discovered that food isn't just fuel—it's medicine, joy, and connection. After earning my degree in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Texas and completing my dietetic internship, I've dedicated my career to helping others discover this same relationship with food.

I believe that healthy eating should never feel restrictive or complicated. My approach focuses on whole, nourishing foods that you actually enjoy, combined with realistic lifestyle strategies that fit your unique schedule and preferences. Whether you're managing a health condition, seeking weight management support, or simply want to feel more energized, I'm here to guide you every step of the way with compassion, evidence-based advice, and personalized attention.

Beyond the office, you'll find me exploring Austin's farmers markets, experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen, or hiking the beautiful Texas Hill Country. I truly practice what I preach—living a balanced life where healthy choices and occasional indulgences coexist harmoniously.

Every body is different, and your nutrition plan should reflect that. I create customized meal strategies tailored to your specific goals, health conditions, dietary preferences, and lifestyle. Whether you're managing diabetes, heart health, digestive issues, or simply want to optimize your nutrition, I develop plans that work for you.

My Counseling Process

A proven, step-by-step approach to transforming your health

Initial Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive 90-minute session where I assess your health goals, current eating habits, medical history, lifestyle factors, and personal preferences. This deep dive helps me understand your unique situation and challenges so I can create the most effective plan for you.

Personalized Plan

Within a week, you'll receive your customized nutrition and meal strategy, complete with detailed guidelines, meal suggestions, recipes, and practical tips. Your plan is designed to be flexible and realistic, fitting seamlessly into your daily routine while moving you toward your health goals.

Follow-Up & Support

Success requires ongoing support. Through regular check-ins (weekly initially, then bi-weekly), we monitor your progress, troubleshoot challenges, adjust your plan as needed, and celebrate your wins. You'll also have access to me via email for questions between sessions.

Lifestyle Integration

The ultimate goal is making healthy eating second nature. I teach you the skills and knowledge to make confident nutrition choices independently, handle social situations and dining out, and maintain your progress long-term. You'll graduate feeling empowered and equipped for lifelong health.

Sample Meals & Recipes

Client Success Stories

Real transformations from real people

From Fast Food to Farmer's Markets: Jennifer's Journey

When Jennifer first came to see me, she was eating fast food at least once daily, feeling constantly tired, and struggling with her weight after having her second child. As a busy working mom, she felt like she had no time to cook healthy meals and didn't even know where to start.

We began by making small, manageable changes—starting with breakfast. Jennifer learned to prepare overnight oats and egg muffins on Sundays that could fuel her busy mornings all week. Within a month, she was skipping the drive-through and actually enjoying her homemade breakfasts more. Her energy improved almost immediately.

Over six months, Jennifer lost 28 pounds, but more importantly, she discovered a love for cooking. She now visits the local farmer's market every Saturday with her kids, teaching them about fresh produce while selecting ingredients for the week. Her favorite moment? When her 5-year-old asked for roasted vegetables instead of French fries at a restaurant.

Did You Know? Studies show that people who meal prep just one day per week are significantly more likely to maintain healthy eating habits and achieve their weight loss goals. Small, consistent actions create lasting change.

Managing Diabetes Through Mindful Eating: Robert's Transformation

Robert came to me after his doctor warned him that his type 2 diabetes was poorly controlled and he might need to start insulin if things didn't improve. At 58, he was scared but motivated to make changes. His main challenge was understanding carbohydrates and how to balance his meals throughout the day.

Together, we created a flexible meal plan that included foods Robert actually enjoyed while focusing on blood sugar management. He learned to pair carbohydrates with protein and healthy fats, choose whole grains over refined options, and recognize proper portion sizes without feeling deprived. We also worked on timing his meals to maintain steady energy levels.

The results were remarkable. Within three months, Robert's A1C dropped from 9.1 to 7.2. After six months, it was down to 6.3—well within the target range. He lost 31 pounds, reduced his medication, and gained confidence in making healthy food choices independently. He recently completed his first 5K race, something he never imagined possible.

Nutrition Science Fact: Research shows that for many people with type 2 diabetes, lifestyle changes including diet modifications can be as effective as medication in controlling blood sugar levels. Food truly is powerful medicine.
