About this episode

The Dietitian Cafe Podcast has been shortlisted for Nutrition Resource of the Year at the 2025 CN Awards. If you’ve found value in the podcast, we’d be incredibly grateful for your vote. Just head to CN Magazine’s Nutrition2Me website to cast your vote. You’ll also find the link in the show notes.

Today, we’re talking about opportunity, and how dietitians can think differently about where it comes from and how to make the most of it. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to take your career in a new direction, this conversation is all about sparking ideas and seeing what’s possible.
We're joined by Sarah Danaher, a UK Registered Dietitian whose career shows just how versatile and creative dietetic practice can be. Over the past 23 years, Sarah has worked across clinical care, public health, academia, research, and digital innovation, with special interests in gastroenterology, probiotics, hormone health, and neurodiversity like ADHD and autism.
She’s currently the UK Team Lead for AEProbio, collaborating with researchers from the Universities of Reading and Leeds on the newly launched Clinical Guide to Probiotic Products in the UK.
From the NHS to Sure Start, university lecturing to private practice, Sarah’s journey is a brilliant reminder that there’s no one way to build a meaningful career in dietetics.
