VibrantVia with Sara Barthel: Balanced digestion, hormones and weight Functional Medicine Nutritionist specializing in balancing digestion, hormones & weight naturally I’m Sara Barthel and I’m a functional medicine nutritionist.

Symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhea or reflux are our body’s way of communicating that something’s not working and we must learn to listen to those rather than just cover them with medications or ignoring them. After experiencing firsthand the frustration of being told I’m fine for years by multiple specialists despite knowing something was wrong, I now help women feel heard and validated in their symptoms. I specialize in working with women struggling with autoimmune disease and digestive complaints. I’ve reviewed hundreds of labs and understand the importance of an individualized approach to health which includes not only what you eat but stress, physical activity, sleep, and relationships. The women I work with are smart, driven and value optimal health so refuse to just learn to live with their symptoms. We work together to identify the root cause of those symptoms and address them with diet and lifestyle changes.

Ever wonder why one week coffee is “good for you” and the next it’s not? Here’s the truth...

Nutrition science isn’t black and white, it’s layered, evolving, and influenced by who funds it, who’s studied, and how it’s tested. That’s why there’s so much conflicting information out there. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to chase every headline. When you learn to listen to your body and apply evidence-based, functional nutrition principles, clarity and healing start to follow.

Ever wonder why one diet “works” for some people but leaves others feeling worse? The truth is, it’s not you. It’s the research.

Most nutrition studies are funded by biased sources and conducted primarily on men. But women’s bodies function differently. What works short-term may actually create long-term imbalances.

That’s why personalized nutrition guided by your biology, hormones, and lifestyle is key to sustainable health. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to feeling vibrant.

Most people think they’re eating healthy, but if you’re low on fiber, your gut and your energy might be paying the price.

Fiber does more than just “keep things moving.” It feeds your gut microbiome, balances blood sugar, and helps detoxify your body naturally. The problem? The average American only gets about 15g a day—less than half of what we need for optimal digestion, hormone balance, and energy.

If you think all fiber is the same… think again. 👀

Fiber isn’t just about staying “regular.” It’s the fuel that feeds your good gut bacteria, supports detoxification, and helps your body thrive from the inside out.

The secret? Diversity! Each type of fiber nourishes different beneficial microbes. Your microbiome is the foundation of your health — digestion, energy, hormones, even mood start here.

The truth is, your body isn’t a simple math equation. Calorie counting alone overlooks what really matters: your metabolism, gut health, hormones, and the quality of your food.
