After working with Susan I returned to my doctor who had told me that if there was no change in my health at my next visit she would have to prescribe medication for my high blood pressure. She was thrilled with my results. I had lost 10 pounds and my blood pressure was down. No need for medication!
Susan recognizes that there is not a one-size fits all solution to a persons wellness needs. She spends the time to get to know you, your challenges, and then works with you on different approaches to find the elements that work best for your body and lifestyle.
She doesn't suggest something that she hasn't already tried and is open herself to finding new ways of applying what she knows to help you. Susan also won't force you to make a change but instead encourages and helps you make the decisions you need for yourself. If you wanted her to be pushy and bossy, she probably could accommodate you, but that's not what I've valued in my relationship with Susan.
She has helped me rethink what and how I eat, and what I should consider with regards to exercise and stress management.
Do I always stick to "my plan"? No. but at least I know Susan is there to help me get back on track and encourage me to a healthier lifestyle!

Susan was instrumental in providing me with wonderful insight about how to create wellness through making smart eating choices and taught me so much about the reasons behind these choices.
I now have adopted many new foods and healthy habits that were so SIMPLE to do, and I gained the knowledge and confidence to continue on this journey.
I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Susan! She gave me such helpful materials to keep, took me on a shopping trip to ensure I understood the concepts we talked about and was so passionate about imparting such great information to help me succeed.
I highly recommend Susan to anyone wanting to make a change in the right direction for better health!

Working with Susan Frangos as my integrative health counselor has been a true joy in my life. I have always been interested in nutrition – how foods impact one’s health.
In college as part of my dental hygiene curriculum, I was required to take a course in basic nutrition. I was raised by a mother who was always interested in providing and preparing nutritious food for her family. Over the years, I have tried to do the same for my husband and two children.
However, what I have learned in the past three and half months under Susan’s guidance has been astounding!! The books, CD’s and personal counseling she has provided me with have changed the way I plan, shop, prepare, cook and eat food. It has also enhanced the way I encounter my daily life.
My husband, adult children, parents, co-workers, friends, other relatives, and patients – in other words, the people in my sphere of life have also benefited. They can see the excitement, the passion that I have for this new approach towards food and healthy living! They are curious, ask questions and I share according to the level of their interest.
Each time I meet with Susan, I am excited about learning new information. Susan has a great approach – she meets you where you are, listens to your needs and then guides you to a healthier level. I highly recommend working with her to achieve a higher level of wellness!!
Sincerely,
