After her mom's doctor gave her the same cookie-cutter advice that wasn't working, Sarah started making videos to break down the real science. Three million followers later, she's still explaining health myths with the same energy she brings to family dinners. Every episode tackles the stuff that actually matters for healthy living — from why your metabolism is acting weird to which nutrition "rules" you can totally ignore.
