Susan Tucker, Founder & Plant-Based Health Coach

Plant-Based LivingI started Green Beat Life, LLC to help those aspiring to live a plant-based life achieve their individual wellness goals. I received my health coaching and nutrition counseling certifications from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and the Health Coach Institute. With a specialty in the plant-based diets, I'm certified by the Center for Nutrition Studies, Cornell University. I trained at Culinary Nutrition from the Natural Gourmet Institute. I'm among Expertise's 20 best nutritionists in NYC. In July 2019 I launched LamingtonsNYC, bringing vegan lamingtons to NYC and area!
Eating clean and mindfully is an essential life skill to practice and cultivate each day. I was a successful and healthy vegetarian for 35+ years, and have continued as a vegan over the past five 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 or in a rush 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. Certainly, we could make wellness, sound digestion, and balanced energy work for our busy lives. I was inspired to pursue a practice in plant-based health coaching.
In the Kitchen
Being in my kitchen takes me to my heart's center. Cooking is my balancer, relaxer and a way I can express my love and gratitude to people and the earth. And mindful eating is the ultimate expression of self-care. There's nothing like seeing, inhaling and tasting beautiful, colorful, plant-based meals! In July 2019 I launched LamingtonsNYC, bringing a vegan version of the classic Aussie lamington to NYC. I love the connection the culinary arts bring us to ourselves, each other, humanity and our planet.
