I am Sarah Danaher, a UK Registered Dietitian with over 25 years of clinical experience across the NHS, private practice, healthcare education and research translation.
Throughout my career, I have worked within leading NHS hospitals including St George's Hospital, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Ulster Hospital and Northern Ireland Cancer Centre. My work has included specialist clinical dietetics, community health initiatives, undergraduate and postgraduate lecturing, and nutrition support for elite and professional athletes.
Alongside clinical practice, I work in the field of microbiome research translation. I co-authored the first Clinical Guide to Probiotic Products Available in the UK, developed in collaboration with microbiome researchers at the University of Reading and University of Leeds. The guide has been recognised within the Chief Scientific Adviser’s Annual Report for the Food Standards Agency and featured in The Times.
I am also currently researching and authoring the first international Clinical Guide to Prebiotic Products — an evidence-based educational resource designed to help healthcare professionals and consumers better understand the clinical applications of prebiotics and commercially available products.
In addition, I work closely with GPs prescribing GLP-1 weight management medications and authored a Nutrition Support Guide to help patients use these treatments safely and effectively alongside dietary and lifestyle change.
My specialist areas of interest include:
-
Gastroenterology and gut health
-
IBS and functional bowel disorders
-
Probiotics and prebiotics
-
Hormone and metabolic health
-
GLP-1 weight management support
-
Neurodiversities including ADHD and autism
-
Disordered eating and complex relationships with food
-
Sports nutrition and performance
Many of the people I work with have previously felt overwhelmed, dismissed or misunderstood within healthcare settings. My aim is to help patients feel supported, understood and equipped with realistic, evidence-based strategies that can work in real life.
I take a compassionate, non-judgemental and trauma-informed approach to care. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with complex psychiatric histories, eating disorders, neurodiversities, chronic health conditions and longstanding difficulties with food, weight and body image.
Consultations are available both in-person in Bangor and online via Zoom.
Registered Dietitians are the only nutrition professionals regulated by law in the UK, ensuring the highest standards of clinical training, professional accountability and evidence-based care.
