After completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, Sue gained diverse clinical experiences working in specialties that included bone marrow transplant, post-partum care, and occupational health. These unique areas of practice fostered a passion for health promotion along with an interest in environmental toxicology, epigenetics, disease prevention and risk assessment.
​​
Sue was introduced to Functional Medicine decades ago in the process of treating her own health issues. This inspired her to pursue a Master of ​
Science degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition where she graduated with distinction, while also completing an advanced Nutrition Residency with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald.
​​
Sue’s interest in complex illness and neuro-nutrition was founded early in her career and continues today. She was among the first group of clinicians to become certified in Dr. Dale Bredesen’s protocol aimed at the prevention and reversal of Alzheimer’s Disease (ReCODE). Having a family member and countless friends impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease, Sue is passionate about education, early screening and intervention.
