I’m Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD, a science communicator specializing in health and nutrition who is passionate about helping people improve diet quality, nourish their bodies, and build sustainable habits—without dieting. Nutrivore90 is the structured, supportive challenge I created to make that easier, more joyful, and more achievable for everyone.
