Susan Tucker, Health & Wellness Coach

A Plant-Based Approach to WellnessGreen Beat Life, LLC, supports people with a genuine interest in wellness to develop the knowledge and skills they need to cultivate a plant-based dietary lifestyle that brings them vibrant health and happiness. I received my health coach certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I studied culinary nutrition at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City. I've offered plant-based tips and recommendations to online publications including Chowhound, Shondaland, HelloGiiggles, VegNews, Muscle & Fitness, Women's Health, Stylecaster, and MindBodyGreen. I have provided consulting to beauty and lifestyle companies, including Estee Lauder. Currently I also work at Vida Health, a tele-health and wellness company that bring health coaching and therapy to employees of major corporations and health plan members nationwide.
Eating mindfully is an essential life skill to practice and cultivate each day. I was a successful and healthy vegetarian for 30 years, and have continued as a vegan over the past six years and counting. Every day, I'm amazed at the opportunity the earth provides us to optimize our health, healing, and wellness through whole foods and plant-based choices. I love the possibilities that the plant world offers us. Now more than ever, looking to plants for our food sources and nourishment, for our wellness and the health of our planet is vital. New York City is a mecca for enjoying a plant-based lifestyle. I love seeking out new vegan hot spots and visiting my trusted favorites, and when traveling, experiencing plant-based culture and communities across the country and around the globe.

Diet, Stress and Finding Balance
Years ago I found myself swept away by corporate culture, and my dietary life was often unbalanced and hard to control. As a result of eating under extreme stress, eating out almost every day, on-the-go or at my desk, my digestion was compromised and my energy depleted. I developed a fascination about the way people were eating and the many problematic habits, ailments and challenges, both physical and emotional, that arose due to food. Everyone was eating for speed and convenience first, rather than wellness. I was certain we could include wellness, mindful eating and balance in our busy lives, and I was inspired to pursue a practice in plant-based health coaching.
In the Kitchen
Being in my kitchen is being in my heart. It's my balancer, relaxer and a way I can express my love and gratitude to people and the earth. I approach mindful eating as the ultimate expression of self-care. There's nothing like seeing, inhaling and tasting beautiful plant-based meals! I love the connection the culinary arts bring us to ourselves, each other, humanity and our planet.
