I highly recommend Susie to anyone who is looking to really improve their health.  When my 4 yr old was diagnosed with celiacs disease this year, we were in desperate need of nutritional advice.  My daughter was presenting with extreme irritability.  We knew we needed to do more than the standard gluten free diet, but didn’t know where to start.  Susie worked so quickly to get us on the right supplements, do the right testing (food intolerance, stool and hair test), and make the appropriate diet changes.  Removing gluten did help with my daughter’s symptoms, but the real improvements came later with supplements, more whole foods, & an elimination diet.  The changes have been dramatic.  I never would have guessed that diet and supplements could make such a huge change in a child’s happiness.  When we started seeing Susie, we knew we had 1 celiac child, but didn’t know that her two sisters also had food intolerances and intestinal inflammation. Susie has encouraged us from the beginning to treat the whole family, and as a result we are all getting healthier.

Susie is extremely knowledgeable about nutrients and biochemistry – much more than most of the mainstream doctors we have seen in the past.  She can often predict a diagnosis and suggest an appropriate remedy prior to seeing test results.  Her technical competence and gentle approach have a profound calming effect on me.  Susie is an excellent listener and very patient with her clients.  I am always so much more relaxed after a session with Susie.

Susie really cares about her patients and will often check-in via email to see how we are doing.  She often sends recipes or supplement suggestions that she thinks would benefit us.  I really don’t know what we have done without Susie this year, and hate to think about what we will so someday when we return to the US!  Thank you so much Susie for all you have done for our family!

 

I booked in to see Susie on recommendation from a friend.  I had been sick with mycoplasma on and off again for months.  I knew it had done my stomach and body no favours but was really at a loss of how to fix it the issues post so many rounds of antibiotics.  I was in a constant state of fatigue – waking up most mornings feeling jet-lagged.  I had done a few things to help myself like a cleanse, more sleep and a healthy diet.  When I went to Susie I had lost patience with not winning against the fatigue.

What I respected most about Susie’s approach was how methodical and systematic she was in getting to the root cause.  Her approach had science behind it and her testing and research nailed the underlying issue causing my fatigue.  She got my on the right track to mend myself and was very forthcoming with useful tips, recipes and encouragement.  I am very grateful for her approach and follow up which sees me now waking refreshed in the morning!

I first went to see Susie with my youngest daughter Isla when she was 18 months old, knowing that I needed help to restore her health and maximise growth and development.  Isla’s digestive system and overall immune system had been severely impacted by antibiotics and continual eye infections, as a result I knew that we needed to work out why she was not doing as well as her her older siblings.  As a mother of 4 young children I had always thought I gave my children a balanced diet and never had to worry about allergies and intolerances or having to avoid certain foods to optimise one’s health.  I had never been a believer of diets, however through Susie’s thorough and methodical scientific approach to examining Isla’s diet and wellbeing we have been able to restore her digestive system and boost her immune system.  We now have a very happy and healthy little girl who bless her heart is more than happy to eat homemade quinoa bread, avocados and nuts as an everyday snack.

It has been a challenging journey, especially when its difficult to explain to a 2 year old why you can’t eat that cupcake or chocolate biscuit at a birthday party, but the changes we have made to Isla’s diet to restore and maintain a healthy disposition has been so worth it.

Thank you Susie for working so closely with Isla and encouraging me to stick with the programme and not give up!  I am ever grateful and you have changed my whole perspective on my family’s diet and wellbeing forever!

I highly recommend Susie Rucker as a nutritionist.  For years I had been dealing with stomach issues that doctors had been unable to treat and then had a negative reaction to a couple of medications.  After a range of tests, Susie diagnosed various vitamin and mineral deficiencies as well as food sensitivities.  I was prescribed a number of supplements and we made a wholesale diet change: out went gluten, all dairy, white rice and pasta, and most sugar.  This new way of eating might have been difficult if not for Susie’s ability to explain everything thoroughly as well as her practical help in the form of delicious recipes and where to source organic and quality ingredients.  In addition to my own improved health, my whole family has benefitted.

Susie takes a thorough approach, listening carefully to the client and making sure she has a clear understanding of all past health treatments and issues.  She is empathetic and supportive, and her passion for what she does shines through.

I am truly impressed with Susie’s knowledge of biochemistry and her ability to understand how the body processes and uses nutrients.  She can identify which nutrients are missing, or not being absorbed properly or how nutrients might bind to something else and be taken out of the system.  She gets to the root of the problem and explains it patiently to you.  Often, Susie figures out the source of the problem before you have any tests (hair, CDSA, bloods etc) done.

I took both my children to see Susie for tummy aches, distended tummy, constipation, sleep disruptions and headaches.  Susie helped us understand that this was caused by gut dysbiosis, food intolerances, mineral/vitamin deficiencies, anxiety, mercury, and high copper.  Then I saw her for myself with symptoms including visual auras, chronic neck pain, unrestful sleep, and lack of dream recall.  We healed our bodies through dietary changes and supplementation to support digestion and removal of toxins.  After we saw such positive results, I was able to convince my husband to Susie as well!

Susie is very considerate and wants to make sure only quality supplements are used, especially for the children.  She gives you advice as to where you can source supplements anywhere in the world and supplies you with her own recipes for getting the right nutrition into the whole family.  She has a holistic approach and explains the mind-body connection and can recommend other therapists who can add value to your treatment.  She works closely with top Biomedical Doctors, attends global conferences and is an expert in her field, and finds time to answer your emails.
