Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if we are a good fit?
We understand this concern, and therefore, we offer a 15-minute discovery call, to any potential client wishing to discuss these concerns with us directly. These calls, can often provide someone the answers they are looking for and are intended to feel like a non-judgmental, internet conversation, over coffee.
Unlike most medical providers, the first session is ~ 75 minute, to help ensure that we have adequate time to review every detail surrounding your health concerns, medical history, and factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. In other words, we want to hear from you, get to know who and where you are and create a personalized wellness plan, to address in our future sessions together.

Considering that all of our plans are customized for you, the frequency and total number of sessions, will vary depending on your specific needs.
How often to meet?
Appointments are scheduled, based on availability and your needs. For reference, many clients begin with weekly sessions, and when appropriate, will move to bi-weekly meetings and so on. The bottom line? We are here for you, whenever and however often that you may need.
Will you work with my other providers?

Most often no, a simple phone call or email does the trick.
Do you accept cash payments?
Yes. Please contact Renew for discounted, cash pay rates.
Have questions about your Insurance?
Sarah Edwards Duong is THE BEST nutritionist (and I tried several before her). Until I found her, my life was escalating into pure misery as the GI issues were effecting my social life and being able to work. Sarah listens to you when you speak and we discover together what is the problem and how to solve it. I recommend her without any reservation.

Sarah is extremely knowledgeable about diet and nutrition! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to learn more about nutrition, health and intuitive eating!

I have loved working with Sarah! I have multiple food allergies and sensitivities, GI issues, and autoimmune issues. To say that I have a complicated relationship with food is an understatement. I have spent most of my life dealing with a number of GI issues but since seeing Sarah, this is the best I have felt in a long time. She is so considerate and nonjudgemental, and makes discussing GI issues easy! She also really takes her patients needs as a priority. She always has suggestions for things that I can eat, or, if she sees something at the grocery that she knows I can eat, she makes sure to tell me about it. If you are looking to improve you and your body's relationship with food then give Sarah a call!

Love Sarah! She’s a great listener, cheerleader, and educator. She knows her stuff and is super passionate about helping others learn about their bodies, eating patterns and how the food we eat affects us- for better or worse. She will use a variety of resources and tools to help you be empowered to be a healthier you.

Sarah is one of the most non judgmental dieticians I've ever met. She's sympathetic yet encouraging without being made felt bad about ourselves. I've learned more with her program than anything our insurance has to offer. Thank you Sarah for your dedication and support!

Sarah conducted two great Zoom workshop series with our staff at Wayne County Public Schools this spring. Staff members enjoyed both the 10-week course "The Art of Healthy Living" and the 5-week course "Food for Thought." She was easy to work with and provided lots of support for our staff through our SHAC Staff Wellness Initiative!

Sarah is not only extremely knowledgeable, she is also friendly and approachable. She explains difficult concepts in an understandable way, is happy to answer all questions, and is passionate about helping those of us who want to take charge of our health. I would give her TEN stars if I could.

Sarah is incredible, five stars really doesn't cut it. When I first started working with her I expected to be told what and when to eat. I never anticipated our work together to be as meaningful or life changing as it has been. Sarah has taught me so much more than nutrition. While working together I have learned to make space for myself and how to both appreciate and listen to my body. The level of personalized support and care that she provides is unmatched. I am so unbelievably thankful for Sarah and Renew Nutrition Therapy!

In one word I can say (grateful!!) This was the best time I have had on line in a while. I did not know what to expect. The class was excellent. The instructor is a people person, she is kind and very knowledgeably. It was so good; that's why I will be doing one on one this summer. I looked forward to the group time and especially the one on one. I hope that she continues to do this at the school, she is great( Mrs. Sarah). She Rocks!!.

Just finished the "Your Moment" Part 3 series through New Hanover County Schools. Part 3 was just as informative and amazing as Part 1 and 2. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable in nutrition and gives great information in a relatable way. If you haven't experienced Renew Nutrition Therapy, it is definitely a must!Thanks Sarah!
