I have been reading your posts now and then and they are a refreshing change from the same old, same old “treat the symptoms” medical establishment. We need more Doctors like you to think outside the box to help folks like me get the best out of life. I wish you and your cause continued success 🚀👍🙏
Thank you so much, this means a lot. My mission is exactly that: move beyond “band-aid” care and give practical, evidence-based tools that help you feel your best every day. I’m cheering for you 🚀
As a former oncology and hospice nurse, and a woman who has abused her body from time to time. I care and I want to learn more. I just finished in Anatomy Trains human dissection, and I don’t wanna end up like anybody that was on my table.
Suzie, thank you for sharing, your perspective from oncology, hospice, and the dissection lab is powerful. I’m with you 100%: small daily choices change the trajectory, and I’m honored to support you on that path.
I have always lived a pretty healthy lifestyle in my younger years, but I feel that I’ve gotten off track since the COVID lockdowns, regarding drinking more wine and having sleep issues. I need a reset! Thank you for writing this book.
Marlene, thank you for sharing so honestly. So many of us felt that post-COVID drift, and naming it is the first step back. You’ve already pressed “reset” by showing up here, and I’m honored this book and newsletter can walk with you. You’ve got this, and I’m cheering for your fresh start.
Valerie, thank you so much! Love that you’ve already been self-learning, and I’m glad the posts helped connect dots. If there’s a topic you want next, say the word!
Hi Sara. I am a aesthetic business owner/ injector & teach my patients about how to age well holistically. To age well on the outside you have to age well on the inside
Nutrition is everything. I myself had some health issues with bowel obstructions for no apparent cause other than very slow transit ?
I was given lots of various aperients but it was my intuition that solved my problem. I keep hearing a voice inside saying ‘ you are what you eat’
Getting caught up with high protein diets i think even though i ate veggies it was not enough
I decided to go vegetarian & have not had a problem since!
No dr - surgeon & multiple GP’s & even naturopath ever suggested it
It was Sadguru - Indian spiritual leader who said humans have much longer guts than animals, therefore we should eat vegetables for gut function!
How disappointing our medical system is. It was suggested a possible
bowel resection maybe a good solution!
I am conscientious about maintaining my protein levels.
I WOULD LOVE A COPY OF YOUR BOOK FOR MYSELF & to share to others 👏🙌😊
Hi Suzie, thank you for sharing your story. Nutrition is essential I couldn’t agree more, and our healthcare system doesn’t give it the importance it has. It will be a pleasure to share the book with you. I’ll DM you with the details. Warmly, Sara
Hi Shirley. Systemic inflammation is a core theme I deep-dive in the book. I hope you’ll find real value in those pages. I’ll DM you details about the book soon. Best wishes, Sara
I appreciate what you write. I am also a RN of 13 years, but now staying home with a special needs daughter. Many things in western medicine frustrate me. I have horrible gut issues and no western doctor can figure it out, but I can't afford all the functional medicine doctors who don't take insurance. It's such a stuck point.
I'd love your upcoming book to give me more insight for myself and others!
Thank you for sharing this so openly Michelle. Caring for a special-needs daughter while navigating your own gut issues is a lot, and the insurance gap is a real, frustrating barrier. I wrote this book to bridge exactly that, clear, evidence-based, low-cost guidance, and there’s a dedicated gut chapter you may find validating and practical. I’d love for you to read it. I’ll DM you details about the book soon! Best regards, Sara
Many of us are in much need of support in understanding and practicing holistic wellness and nutrition . I look forward to reading your upcoming book, Delicious Longevity: Practical Science Based Guide to Holistic Wellness and Lasting Health through Nutrition. This week I celebrate 30 days Alcohol Free. I am learning and applying all I can to be healthy into my retirement years! Thank you for your posts! Kathy D.
Kathy, huge congratulations on 30 days alcohol-free! 🎉 That’s a huge milestone, and I’m honored my work is part of your journey. You’ll love the book, there’s a dedicated chapter on alcohol and longevity which I hope helps you to add more alcohol-free days. Grateful you’re here and cheering you on into vibrant retirement years. I'll send you a DM soon! Best wishes, Sara
Congratulations Kathyjup. I know when I quit drinking my life improved above and beyond anything I ever thought. I hope it does as well with you. Look to the future with optimism and love everything else will work itself out
Wow. I followed you b/c I liked your writing style and in the tips above your metaphors of our internal houses and offices connects powerfully with my own internal language.
A few days ago I connected with my internal water need vs food / snack need signal and recognized they were separate signals. And then you write about that here. This is a new journey for me, beginning to recognize different specific body signals other than pain and sugar snack requests.
Consciously completing the feedback loop in response to my body’s request for something other than snacks and getting up with water first is new for me.
This new cellular level signal awareness has also created an additional new internal awareness of my gut, and your descriptions and advanced knowledge of flowers vs weeds is timely and important for me. I am blessed to be reading your work now.
All this to say, I would like preview your new book. I am going to go back and read your other work.
This is beautiful, thank you. I’m thrilled the metaphors clicked right as you’re tuning into true thirst vs. snack signals. That kind of internal precision is a powerful milestone. I’ll DM you details regarding the book soon, and I’m honored you’re diving into my other pieces. Best regards, Sara
After decades of being workaholic which was detached from his body, I have completely changed my life style 12 years ago, and now putting more attention and focus on my lifestyle, nutrition and health.
Will be happy to read on things that will help me to maintain optimal health
Thank you for your enthusiasm. I’m thrilled the book resonates with your focus on long-term, optimal health. I’ll reach out to you via direct message about the book soon. Best wishes, Sara
Mary, love hearing this. Owning what you know and adding new pieces is how real change sticks. I’m cheering you on as you put it to work. If there’s a topic you want me to cover next, just tell me!
As we have mentioned in our 6 ish days in SUBSTACK to which I am reposting. It’s refreshing to read realtime, real truth about what’s best for our wellness. Action is what I’m all about, in my years as a liaison the wellness industry did not do what people perceived it would do, so part of my job was to affirm correct wellness concerns so they my clients could do their jobs. Your info: very specific & detailed! Thank you 🙏🏻
So, it would be honored to receive more in what I can do to live anti-age with grace and incredible wellness!
Thank you for your kind words Angel. I focus a lot on prevention and longevity to enjoy life the best possible way, so I hope everything I share helps you. Warmly, Sara
Yes@SaraRedondo! Thanks for your refreshing knowledge! It’s that time of year and all is a treat, here & there. What can we eat, to stave off that desire to overeat? If I can ask? 🙏🏻
I am so glad I found this community. I love doing research. I have not always taken care of my health. I am soon to be 59 years old, and recently received a CAC score that was above 300, and I really need to start taking better care of myself.
Thank you for your kind words Shels, you're more than welcome here. It's never too late, and I hope everything I share helps you to start taking better care of yourself. Warmly, Sara
This is a beautiful read. What worries me the most is how do people working in healthcare systems combat this issue of not getting night sleeps, because you are supposed to work nights? What is their fate then.
I love your forthrightness. I am 84+, changed my lifestyle to lower medications for my Diabetes. I want to stay healthy till I am called out. Tips to do that would be of tremendous value to me.
Dear Soundara, from what I read I understand you have Type 2 Diabetes. If that's the case, there is A LOT you can do, that may even avoid the need of medications. Of course, always with the guidance of your doctor. Everything I share in the newsletter will be of great value to you. I hope the posts help you lower medication. Warmly, Sara

To die healthy, that is a heck of a dream!
It’s refreshing to hear a doctor go beyond the traditional model and talk about the human body in such way.
I have always lived a pretty healthy lifestyle in my younger years, but I feel that I’ve gotten off track since the COVID lockdowns, regarding drinking more wine and having sleep issues. I need a reset! Thank you for writing this book.

I appreciate your educational posts. Some things that I had started learning on my own but many are new to me. Thank you for your efforts.
Valerie, thank you so much! Love that you’ve already been self-learning, and I’m glad the posts helped connect dots. If there’s a topic you want next, say the word!

At 58 with a 4 year old and 7 year old, I’m highly motivated to remain energetic, physically active and emotionally and cognitively present into 100+
That sounds great Jon! I hope everything I share help you reach that goal! Warmly, Sara
This is a beautiful read. What worries me the most is how do people working in healthcare systems combat this issue of not getting night sleeps, because you are supposed to work nights? What is their fate then.
Yes, it's difficult Akudinanwa. Thank you for your kind words. Warmly, Sara
