Sarah Kelly DeVido MSc, FNTP
Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Florida State University with honors and a Master of Science degree from the University of North Carolina - Wilmington. My graduate research resulted in several publications in peer reviewed journals. I worked as a scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for over seven years. My work at NIH was in the field of epigenetics – the study of how the environment affects gene expression. With an interest in maintaining optimal health, I began investigating how nutrition plays a role in our gene expression (how well our body works to stay healthy). I furthered my nutrition knowledge as a scientific researcher at an Integrative Health Practice for over five years. Here I investigated the scientific literature making connections on how food and supplements can heal the body.

I am a Functional Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and I continue to stay updated on the latest nutrition trends by attending Nutrigenomic and Integrative Health Conferences. I am passionate about helping individuals maximize their health whether it is a high level athlete looking to optimize their performance or an individual wanting to improve their overall energy and fitness.

I am a recipient of the Department of Commerce 2007 Silver Medal for Leadership and I am a member of Phi Beta Kappa. I fuel my passions by working out, enjoying nature, traveling and spending time with my husband and son.

🍂 It’s October 1st and you’re STILL waiting to feel better.

I get it. Summer got away from you. You kept saying “I’ll start Monday” and suddenly it’s fall and you’re still exhausted, bloated, and wondering when you’ll feel like yourself again.

Here’s the hard truth: If you wait until January, you’ll spend the next 3 months feeling progressively WORSE.

Holiday stress. Inconsistent eating. Sleep deprivation. Sugar overload. All piling onto already chaotic hormones.

✨But what if you started NOW?

What if instead of white-knuckling your way through the holidays and starting 2026 from rock bottom, you entered the new year feeling the best you’ve felt in YEARS? ✨

That’s the power of starting in October.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about giving your body what it needs so it can finally work WITH you instead of against you. 🫶💕✨

Ready to stop waiting and start healing?

Drop a “🍂” in the comments or DM me “OCTOBER” and let’s talk about making this your healthiest holiday season yet.

Your body has been asking for help. It’s time to finally listen.

✨I have to be honest with you.

Reading through the scholarship applications this week absolutely wrecked me—in the most powerful way.

So many of you shared stories that sounded all too familiar:

• Years of being dismissed by doctors

• Symptoms that were brushed off as “normal aging” or “just anxiety”

• Feeling like you were screaming into the void, begging someone to just listen

If that’s been your experience, I’m so sorry.

You deserved better.

You deserve better.

And that’s exactly why we created this scholarship—because true healing starts with being heard.

Sam’s story moved us deeply. She’s been through more than most, yet she’s still standing—still hopeful, still fighting for herself. That kind of resilience? It’s everything.

Sam, we are SO ready to support you.

Your transformation starts now, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way. 💛

✨Here’s what I know after working with hundreds of women...

The number on the scale? It’s just data.

But the way you FEEL in your body? That’s everything.

When you’re stuck in the cycle of:

→ Weighing yourself daily
→ Letting that number dictate your mood
→ Restricting harder when it goes up
→ Celebrating with food when it goes down

You miss the REAL signs of healing:

✨ Waking up with energy (not dragging through your day)

✨ Clothes fitting better (even when the scale hasn’t budged)

✨ No more 3pm crashes

✨ Sleeping through the night

✨ Actually wanting to move your body

✨ Feeling like YOURSELF again

Your body isn’t a problem to solve—it’s asking to be supported.

✨Don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

DM “SCHOLARSHIP” to apply!

I’m announcing the full scholarship winner early next week — then awarding multiple partial scholarships to deserving moms who are ready for transformation!

$10,000 in functional nutrition coaching is up for grabs, and I can’t wait to support you on your healing journey! 💕

🏙️ NYC with my family got me thinking about choices...

Every day, you’re making decisions that either work WITH your genetics or against them.

Your genes aren’t your destiny—but they do need the right support to help you thrive.

That’s why I’m so passionate about personalized, science-based nutrition.

And it’s why I’m doing something special: giving away $10,000 in functional nutrition coaching scholarships to professional moms who are ready to finally understand their bodies.

One full scholarship. Several partial scholarships. Real transformation.

Your hormonal chaos, stubborn weight, and low energy aren’t “just aging”—and you don’t have to accept feeling this way forever.

Ready to apply?

DM me “SCHOLARSHIP” and I’ll send you the link! 🫶💕✨

💥 I’M GIVING AWAY $10k! 💥

I’m giving ONE full scholarship to an incredible mom who deserves the support, guidance, and transformation that comes from science-based functional medicine & nutrition coaching—completely FREE.

And then I’m giving away THOUSANDS more in partial scholarships!

I talk to so many women who feel dismissed by their doctors, frustrated that nothing works long-term, and exhausted from trying every diet under the sun.

They know they need help addressing the ROOT CAUSES, but finances hold them back.

And that breaks my heart 💔 because every woman deserves to understand why her body feels “broken” and get the tools to heal from the inside out.

While I can’t coach everyone for free, I can make a life-changing difference for a few incredible moms.

💡 No gimmicks. No quick fixes. Just real, sustainable healing.

📲 DM me “SCHOLARSHIP” and I’ll send you the application link!

Your symptoms aren’t “just aging”—and you don’t have to accept feeling this way forever. Let me prove it to you. 💕

🫶 I’ve been on calls with hundreds of women who are dealing with hormonal issues.

And it’s frustrating.

Usually, we have no idea.

We think we just need to add more cardio. Eat a little less. Or be more “consistent.”

When in reality, once you’ve dug yourself into a hormonal hole… eating less or working out more will actually make it harder to lose weight.

Then there are the women who have figured out the problem. They understand it could be hormonal.

And they go to their doctor and ask for testing and are told things like…

1️⃣ We can’t test for that. (Aka we can’t bill for it.)

2️⃣ You just need to exercise.

3️⃣ This is what happens after you turn 30, 40, 50…

It’s infuriating that women are expected to just live with the…

🤦🏼‍♀️ Inability to lose fat
🤦🏼‍♀️ Bloating
🤦🏼‍♀️ Insomnia
🤦🏼‍♀️ Hair loss
🤦🏼‍♀️ Acne
🤦🏼‍♀️ Digestive Issues
🤦🏼‍♀️ Fatigue
etc.

After events like…

➡️ Having a child
➡️ Dealing with chronic stress
➡️ Chronically dieting
➡️ Perimenopause

You can’t just diet and exercise your way out of these things. You need the help of a functional health practitioner.

One who will order your labs, read your labs, prescribe a protocol of lifestyle and dietary modifications, and hold you accountable to that protocol until you are THRIVING!!!

So if you are ready to get off the hamster wheel and find the key to your most vivacious life, comment below or DM me “Breakthrough.”

Feeling drained, sick, sore, and noticing more hair in your brush lately? 😔

Here’s why you might be struggling and how to get back on track👇

Do you feel like no matter how much you rest, the fatigue never seems to go away?

You wake up tired, your body aches, and it feels like you’re constantly fighting off something—illness, muscle pain, and even hair loss. It’s frustrating.

You’ve tried everything—more sleep, better nutrition, but nothing seems to work. And sometimes, you can’t help but think, Is this just the way things are now? 🤷‍♀️

What if I told you these could be signs of a vitamin D deficiency?

It’s more common than you think, especially during the winter months when sunlight—our body’s primary source of vitamin D—is limited.

So, while you’re battling the fatigue, your body might be screaming for the vitamin it needs to function properly.

But here’s the good news—you don’t have to let winter drain you! 💪✨

Here’s how to help maintain healthy vitamin D levels during these colder months:

🍳Add Vitamin D-rich foods to your diet: Salmon, mackerel, sardines, and eggs are great options.

🏃‍♀️Get outside for a daily walk: Even just 10-15 minutes of sunlight can make a huge difference—yes, even on cloudy days!

💊Consider a vitamin D supplement: If you live in a particularly cloudy region during the winter, a supplement can help keep your levels up.

I know it’s easy to feel frustrated when things like fatigue, illness, and pain feel like they’re taking over.

But these simple steps can help bring you back to life—feeling energized, stronger, and more like yourself again. 🤩

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in this cycle, know that it’s possible to feel better—even during winter.

Take control and prioritize your health, because you deserve to feel vibrant and at your best. 🫶💕✨

Let’s make this winter about nourishing and healing from the inside out. 🌱💛
