I'm Sarah, founder of The Nutrition Pharmacist, a registered pharmacist, nutritionist and certified menopause practitioner with over 20 years of experience across health, nutrition and wellbeing.
I hold a Pharmacy degree from Monash University and a Master of Human Nutrition from Deakin University. My career spans clinical practice, consumer health, digital health, innovation and regulatory compliance, and I currently serve on the Healthylife Advisory Board.
I'm passionate about translating complex health science into practical, evidence-based insights that empower women to better understand their bodies, navigate midlife with confidence and thrive through life's transitions.
Over the years, I've become increasingly passionate about women's health, particularly the perimenopause and menopause transition.
Too often, women navigate midlife feeling exhausted, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn for reliable information. My goal is to change that by making evidence-based health education more accessible, relatable and empowering.
Today, I share my expertise through keynote speaking, corporate wellbeing presentations, industry conferences, media contributions and professional collaborations.
My presentations explore the intersection of women's health, nutrition, energy, sleep, brain health and wellbeing — with a particular focus on helping women understand the changes that occur through midlife and how to support their long-term health.
Outside my professional life, I'm a passionate advocate for maintaining an active, balanced lifestyle and finding joy in the everyday.
I believe midlife should be a time of opportunity, confidence and growth — not simply a stage of life to endure.
And that philosophy sits at the heart of everything I do.
I'm also the author of the award-winning book It's Not You, It's Perimenopause, a practical, science-backed guide designed to help women navigate this transition with greater confidence and clarity.
The book reflects my philosophy: women's health information should be credible, accessible and grounded in science, without unnecessary complexity, fear or misinformation.
