Always interested in yoga, healthy living and personal development, Susanne became truly passionate about nutrition and integrative care when she experienced two separate health crises in adulthood. With the first, she learned the importance of nutritious food on total health. The second health crisis taught her the importance of care of the entire person, not only through diet, but also through stress management and life choices. She believes that food has a profound effect on health, that being ill is not a natural part of aging, and she is passionate about helping people reclaim their health.
Susanne graudated from The University of Texas at El Paso and is currently a student at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. When she graduates in June 2011, she will receive her certification as a holistic health coach from the American Association of Drugless Practitioners.

Easing Chronic Inflammation with Healthy Food Choices

Another type of inflammation—chronic inflammation—spreads to other areas of the body and is responsible for many serious health conditions.

Sorting Through the Confusion About Whole Grains
We’ve all been hearing lately about how we should be eating more whole grains, but do you understand what the term means? In response to the growing number of health-conscious consumers, food manufacturers have added more whole grains to their products. This practice has led to some confusion about which foods truly are whole grains. While products such as whole grain cereal or whole grain bread made from whole grains are certainly an improvement over more refined, white flour products, they are not a true whole grain.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Susanne Warren
What I believe about nutrition and health:
We are what we eat.
We should eat to live, not live to eat.
We can heal many of the health issues affecting Americans through wholesome nutrition and lifestyle choices.
We have a responsibility—to our selves, to our families and friends, to society—to care for our health.
Our bodies (and all the amazing things they are able to do) are a gift from God, and we should take care of them.
There is no one dietary theory that will work for everyone. However, there are general guidelines that will keep us healthy, and those include eating a wide variety of seasonal, locally grown foods and adhering to a mostly plant-based diet.
