Sarah Di Lorenzo is a wealth of knowledge regarding health and wellness. She is also a single mother of three daughters, an entrepreneur, regularly appears on TV and spreads body positivity.

Sarah is the author of a handful of best-selling books, including The 10:10 Plan – Your Ideal Weight, The 10:10 Recipe Book, The 10:10 Kickstart, and 10:10 Simple with The Four Week 10:10 Gut Repair.

Her books are all about nutrition and include programs. To date, she’s sold over 120,000 copies of her four books.

Is there anything she can’t do? It doesn’t seem like it.

The Greek Herald spoke with Sarah about all thing’s health, wellness and her new cookbook My Mediterranean Life.

Anyone who knows Sarah is aware of how ardent and motivated she is. However, she takes those words to a whole new level.

“I am going to start by saying I am someone who absolutely loves everything I do, and I do wear many different hats. I am so passionate about health, wellness, nutrition, living your best life and feeling your best self. I am also someone who thrives on helping others in all areas of my work,” Sarah says.

She is a Clinical Nutritionist with a private clinic in Sydney. Sarah has helped thousands of people lose weight and keep it off.

“Through my work, we’ve gotten over 1 million kilograms off thousands of Australians and many off medications,” she says.

Sarah is also a TV Presenter and the resident nutritionist on the Sunrise and Weekend Sunrise programs on Channel 7, amongst other roles in the media space as a public speaker and emcee.

Sarah talks about how growing up with a Greek grandfather who cooked Greek food shaped her current way of life and appreciation for food and good produce.

“He also very much influenced the family with the Mediterranean way of life!” she adds

Sarah says that she feels like her childhood and growing up with the influence of her grandfather instilled in her a positive relationship with food and produce.

“We are all little sponges when we grow up and I loved listening to him talking about food, cooking and family. My childhood and family time were focused on eating together,” she says.

“On a Sunday we would all be excited to have the big meal of the week together at lunchtime. This way of life laid the foundation for me to grow to love good produce, healthy food and eat together.”

Sarah’s new cookbook My Mediterranean Life is like nothing she’s ever done before.

“It is so unique,” she concludes.

Sarah Di Lorenzo’s ‘My Mediterranean Life’ is available at bookshops and online retailers now.
