Sarah Williams

Think your doctor's health advice isn't working? You're probably right. Join Sarah Williams on Fuel Different as she cuts through the nutrition noise with zero BS and actual science that makes sense.

Sarah spent a decade as a nutrition researcher before realizing she was way better at explaining why keto works for some people and crashes for others, or why intermittent fasting might be sabotaging your weight loss goals instead of helping them. After her mom's doctor gave her the same cookie-cutter advice that wasn't working, Sarah started making videos to break down the real science. Three million followers later, she's still explaining health myths with the same energy she brings to family dinners.

Every episode tackles the stuff that actually matters for healthy living — from why your metabolism is acting weird to which nutrition "rules" you can totally ignore. Sarah breaks down complex research into conversations that feel like chatting with your smartest friend who just happens to know everything about how your body works.

Whether you're confused about conflicting diet advice or just want to understand what's actually happening when you eat, this show gives you practical answers without the overwhelm. Follow Fuel Different for daily episodes that'll change how you think about food, your body, and what healthy really means. New episodes every day—follow now!
