"Sarah Mirkin is a life saver! She is a knowledgable and experienced Dietitian that helped guide mean how to et again and kick the yo-yo. Sarah is approachable, intuitive, and took the time to work with me on what I could eat that would leave me feeling less hungry, get me back to a healthy weight, and simplify all of the advice we hear. I needed an experienced pilot on my food journey as well as a cheerleader and I got both!"

“Your little shopping list cheat sheet saved my life as well as the easy food recipe ideas! Also, downloading the Monash Fodmap App on my phone was a HUGE help because I could go to the grocery store and know exactly what I could or couldn’t buy. I stayed strictly low fodmap for about 4-6 months and I saw significant changes in my health. I had more endurance while working out and I lost weight that I was able to maintain keeping off. My mood was also much happier and healthier! I hope all of this helps! If you’re looking for verbiage in a more template style format catered to one thing or something, let me know and send it over so I can just do that for you instead. I’m really well now! No issues at all. I try to be as low fodmap as possible but now I can tolerate a lot of foods since I did the reintroduction phase and everything settled well with me (surprisingly)”

Kelsey, client of Sarah’s who has SIBO

“In the early months of 2019, I was diagnosed with SIBO, a small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. I'd never heard of SIBO and didn't know what it was until the doctor explained it to me. Three of the symptoms of SIBO are bloating, constipation, and the inability for the body break down various foods. My doctor advised me to see a dietician for help. I met with Sarah Mirkin, a registered dietician and who specializes in digestive issues and teaches the low FODMAP diet.. Under Sarah's guidance and with progress, foods were eliminated from my diet and gradually reintroduced until I was longer experiencing the SIBO symptoms which I had experienced in the past. FODMAP was great in getting me back to health.”

Randolph Bryant, client of Sarah (symptom-free in 2 months and has been symptom-free ever since)

“We are feeling great! Rob has lost 18 pounds and I’ve lost 5 to 6 pounds. He said by the end of the second week on the diet her could tell a difference with his stomach. He does not feel anxious about his stomach when we are traveling because his stomach has felt more settled. Usually he would be very anxious driving in a car for long periods of time without a bathroom nearby. And I feel good too. I’ve noticed that I am more regular and I’ve not had an upset stomach or acid reflux. (I am taking meds for my acid reflux though)”

Linn and Rob, clients of Sarah’s

“Struggling with IBS-C and methane-dominant SIBO lead me to develop a fear of eating a variety of foods because of the symptoms they might cause. Completing the three phases of the Low FODMAP diet has helped me to identify foods, and the amounts of these foods, that tend to trigger my IBS-C symptoms. Since completing the diet I have been able to reintroduce many of the foods that I needed to initially avoid in the Elimination Phase, which has made me more confident in my food choices both at home and when I dine out."

Erin McRae Broberg

“I came to Sarah at a point in my life when I didn’t know who to turn to. I was at a loss about what was going on with my body and spent months trying all kinds of diets - vegetarian, high fiber, raw, liquid, and nothing was helping. When Sarah introduced me to low FODMAP it all began to make sense. In my attempt at being healthy I was eating foods that didn’t settle with my stomach and couldn’t escape the symptoms that came with it. Within a few days of low FODMAP, my symptoms were completely gone. I am now on my way to pinning down what my body is reacting to. “

Daria Orlova

"I came to Sarah Mirkin after I had a baby at age 43. I was a little skeptical at first because she recommended more food than I was used to eating and shorter workouts. 6 months after my baby was born I was more fit and lean than I’d ever been in my life! I feel great all of the time! I’m never hungry and my energy levels are better than ever. I never imagined it could be so easy."

"Dr. Mirkin is a gem! When I was having gut issues she did her best to solve them. She’s very resourceful and creates her own shopping lists to give to her patients based on their dietary needs and restrictions. This helped me so much because I didn’t have to guess or think too much about what to purchase because she had all of the information ready for me. She really cares about her clients and is super personable. We keep in touch through texts and she makes her schedule flexible so that her clients can come see her when it’s easiest for them. I’m so grateful Ive found her because she is motivating, kind, and so knowledgable. If you’re looking for an RD, look no further. Dr Mirkin is your girl!"

“I met Sarah Mirkin about 6 years ago when she worked with Cedars Sinai Medical Group. My doctor sent me to see her because my cholesterol was 204 (he wanted it under 200). She looked at my diary and the first thing she told me was that I was going to have to stop drinking so much mocha mix and juice. Immediately I thought to myself, we are not going to get along. I told her you don’t understand, the mocha mix does not have any cholesterol. Sarah replied, “it has ingredients that will raise your cholesterol, such as hydrogenated oil”. I raced home to read the ingredients and there it was big as day. I also tried to explain that the 32 ounces of juice I drank every night before going to bed was 100 % pure juice. Sarah said, “I understand what you are saying however when you take the juice from the fruit you lose the fiber and have 100% sugar”. My first lesson on reading labels. After that I went on a shopping tour at Whole Foods Market where she taught me how to shop for healthy foods and our relationship continued from there. Needless to say I got my cholesterol down to 168 and went from a size 12 to a size 6 in about 2 months. Six years later I am still a size 6 and have maintained my health eating habits.”

"I have been working with Sarah for about 6 months on a combined diet and exercise plan focused on my goals with great results. I have lost approximately 18 lbs and 4% body fat. My goal was to become more lean while gaining muscle mass. She modified my workouts so my heart rate stayed higher to burn more calories and modified my diet so I am optimizing the intake before and after my time at the gym. Additionally, she's provided great insight on food's nutritional values during shopping sessions on items which were contrary to popular opinion and general intuition."

Mark T.

"Sarah has an extensive knowledge of foods and nutrition. She is practical in her approach to help people make permanent lifestyle changes and to achieve true health. Programs are specifically tailored with monitoring and supportive guidance. Kitchen Coach is unique because there are a variety of services offered. Programs are based on lifestyle, food preferences, health goals, and metabolic needs. She is also an excellent trainer and can combine your diet with a fitness program. I highly recommend Sarah to those interested in improving their health."

Jeff A.

"Working with Sarah has been amazing! Have been slowly losing weight (which is the right way to do it) over the last month. She has taught me eating more is not a bad thing. She is super knowledgeable and makes it easy to make lifestyle changes. Her app is extremely helpful and keeps you accountable for what you are putting in your body. Additionally, she is super responsive and quick to give you feedback on food items you may be questioning. If you are looking to lose weight or just want to learn how to live a healthier lifestyle I highly recommend."
