Welcome to Your Path of Transformation and Healing
Hi, I’m Dr. Sara Szal (formerly Gottfried). A Harvard-trained medical doctor, scientist, researcher, and seeker with 30 years of experience. I’m also the author of four New York Times bestselling books.
You’re probably here because you’re looking for more than what mainstream medicine offers.
That’s exactly what led me on this journey. In my thirties, while working in a high-pressure medical environment, I realized that traditional medicine was not addressing the root causes of my health issues. Advanced testing showed that I was aging rapidly, and my doctor’s solution was Prozac and birth control pills. That didn’t sit right with me.
I turned my medical expertise inward and discovered that I was in survival mode and it was wreaking havoc on my hormones and health. My cortisol levels were three times the optimal level, leading to various problems like low energy, autoimmunity, inflammation, and even prediabetes—a condition that 90% of Americans don’t know they have. By addressing the root cause, I not only reversed these issues but also transformed my health and well-being.

My personal experience fueled my passion
to develop evidence-based, personalized protocols for my patients. Over the past few decades, I’ve helped more than 25,000 individuals, including professional athletes, executives, and other VIPs like you, achieve their health goals through precision and functional medicine.
peace, and balance
- I enjoy delicious, nourishing food that keeps my blood sugar in check.I exercise smarter, not harder, using heavy weight lifting and technology to aid recovery.
- I relish hiking, rucking, and yoga with fewer injuries.
- I cherish moments with my daughters, especially when we’re learning or exploring nature together.
I reclaimed my life, and you can too. My mission is to help you feel fully alive and balanced from your cells to your soul. This means extending your healthspan, maintaining optimal weight, enhancing performance, resolving chronic stress, and igniting your sex drive—all naturally and safely.
My Approach
I don’t just treat symptoms; I delve into the root causes. Through comprehensive telehealth consultations, I assess your health from every angle—nutrition, immune function, stress levels, hormonal balance, and more. We might explore your genome, microbiome, or even use a continuous glucose monitor to get a full picture of your health. Together, we design a personalized plan, making small, sustainable changes to your diet, supplements, and lifestyle. Sometimes, this includes bio-identical hormones or cutting-edge training regimens.
