Susan Bleyle, PhD

Susan has loved food and cooking since earliest childhood. Her plant-based journey started when she left home for Oberlin College in 1989 and joined a student-run vegetarian food co-op. For years, however, her diet was filled with too much dairy and junk food. She was well on her way to following the path of many of her family members: overweight and taking medication for high blood pressure, cholesterol, and other lifestyle diseases by the time they were 50. 

At 40, Susan experienced a health scare and was inspired to transform her life after watching the film Forks Over Knives. After ditching eggs, dairy, and most highly processed foods overnight, she has been leading by example and educating friends and family about the power of a plant-based diet. Susan is a licensed Food for Life instructor and health coach whose passion is to help you live the most vibrant life possible.
