E90: Preventing and Reversing Chronic Illness Through Lifestyle Medicine

Susan Spell is a nurse practitioner in Jacksonville, FL, double
board certified in family and lifestyle medicine. Her healthcare
experience spans almost 30 years the last 17 of which have been as
a family nurse practitioner. Susie received both her Bachelor’s and
Master’s degrees in Nursing from UNC Chapel Hill and began her
career down the road in Duke University’s Medical Center. These
early experiences laid the foundation for her appreciation of and
commitment to evidenced-based care. She discovered lifestyle
medicine in 2018. This discovery changed the trajectory of her
life, both personally and professionally, and her passion for
people (and planet) was reignited. She realized just how powerful
low tech, low cost lifestyle interventions really are. Susan Spell
continues a part time clinical practice in primary care and is also
founder of Vital Transformations - her highly personalized health
consultation and coaching practice where she helps people make the
often difficult changes (including mindset as well as behaviors)
related to diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management that are
required to be truly well in our culture today. When she doesn't
have her nose in a book or isn't listening to a podcast, you might
just find her dancing in the kitchen or hugging a tree. She tries
not to take herself so seriously and thinks laughing is essential
to daily life.
