Gladys Sutton
I began my journey to wellness in 2011 when my husband was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. I say journey because that’s exactly what it was. A long road of ups and downs that kept providing new learning opportunities. By years of experimenting, I learned the key concept of listening to my own body. Sounds simple, but it was a difficult concept to grasp when everyone was shoving different programs down my throat.
We eventually found Dr. Joel Fuhrman and loved everything he had to offer. I then went on to reading countless books and articles about health, adopting the pieces that resonated with me. Once my husband’s Diabetes was under control through lifestyle changes, I knew that I found my calling to help others find their path to wellness.
I am now a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach (IIN) and Diabetic Wellness Expert specializing in holistic approaches to healing chronic inflammation and illness. With a passion to further my education, I am now studying to become Functional Medicine Practitioner to serve people with more complex health problems.
As a wife and a mom of five boys health is the most important thing to us. I like to always remember. Who you were, who you are, and who you will be are three different people.
