Meet Susan
My career in the health and wellness field has now spanned almost 30 years, during which time I’ve created a successful platform which encompasses a health practice, trainings for medical and psychology professionals, and books on healthy eating.
I am a speaker, author, instructor and consultant. I love what I do, and my specialties include diabetes and endocrinology, gut issues (IBS, SIBO, GERD), weight management, PCOS, pregnancy, menopause, cancer and exercise nutrition.
My journey in helping clients with their health has led me to seek a collaborative way to listen and evoke someone’s own internal motivation for change since ambivalence with behavior change is more the norm. I discovered the language of Motivational Interviewing which is a person-centered, guiding method of communication and counseling to elicit and strengthen motivation for change.

Cleaning Toxicity out of your Beauty
Did you know the average woman puts over 500 synthetic chemicals on her body every day? Alarmingly, did you also know that the cosmetic industry does not require companies to test products for safety…meaning your lipstick, lotion, and makeup are not tested AT ALL! Companies can put most anything in the products they produce since […]
Is it SIBO, Leaky Gut, Dysbiosis or something else?
Until the last few years you might have gone to the doctor with complaints of bloating, gas, constipation or diarrhea and your doctor might have given you a diagnosis of IBS, AKA Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Unfortunately, this was just a possible “code” for “I’m not really sure what is going on with your gut.” Nowadays […]

We know exercise, diet, sleep, etc. all positively impactful to our health. However, you could be eating an organic clean diet, exercising […]
It May be Mold and it’s NOT on the Cheese
Mold toxicity had never been on my radar before. Clients would mention it on occasion, and I would politely listen but had no cognition of how it affected health or how to help treat it, but I guess life teaches you lessons that you would not learn otherwise. One thing you may not know about […]
Pulling for Values in the New Year
Should I make a New Year’s Resolution or not? That common phrase we hear at the beginning of the year that most of us dread. Change is uncomfortable so we procrastinate and ultimately end up in a cycle of ambivalence – wanting and not wanting incompatible things at the same time. So, WHAT does one […]
