Sarah Jenkins is a Clinical Specialist Dietitian registered with the HCPC and a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA) specialist group for older people. She has 12 years of experience working in NHS community trusts and care homes, specifically managing malnutrition and dysphagia. She currently runs clinics focusing on diabetes remission and bone health through diet.
Sarah Jenkins holds a Master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from King's College London and has spent over a decade working on the frontlines of geriatric nutritional care. Her career has taken her from acute hospital wards to community settings, where she witnessed firsthand the impact of 'tea and toast' diets on senior health. Sarah specializes in the dietary management of age-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sarcopenia (muscle loss), and osteoporosis, advocating for food-first approaches before oral nutritional supplements. She has advanced training in dysphagia management, allowing her to design safe, texture-modified diets that remain palatable and dignified for those with swallowing difficulties. Sarah is passionate about debunking nutritional myths that harm seniors, such as the fear of fats or the overuse of restrictive diets that lead to frailty. Through her writing, she translates complex biochemical requirements into affordable, practical British meal plans, proving that eating well on a state pension is entirely possible. Her goal is to empower seniors to use nutrition as a powerful tool for maintaining vitality and reducing hospital admissions.
