Sarah Garone
Sarah Garone, NDTR, is a freelance health and wellness writer and nutritionist registered with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

In addition to her work as a writer, Sarah teaches Toddler Test Kitchen, a hands-on cooking class for young children, and offers corporate wellness presentations in the Phoenix area. She lives in Mesa, AZ with her husband and three children.
