Welcome! My guest today is Fran Sussman, a holistic practitioner

since 1993 who has helped thousands of clients reclaim their health

and vitality. She teaches people to heal their gut, balance

hormones, reduce inflammation, heal their brains, combat Lyme

disease, and much more. Her personal journey includes a full

recovery from breast cancer and Lyme disease. Now, at age 62, Fran

is grateful to live a life rich with purpose, joy, health, and

vitality. Fran has a thriving private practice where she teaches

online courses, including her Zen Vitality Detox, which

integrates nutritional guidance, health retreats, and simple

practices with huge payoffs for mind, body, and spirit. Join

us!

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

How Fran’s early interest in nutrition and the health problems

of her two children prompted her journey as a holistic

practitioner

When traditional medicine didn’t have answers for her children,

Fran did her own research and found natural solutions.

It wasn’t long before others started asking for her help in

treating their own, and their children’s, health issues.

Fran soon became ill, anxious, depressed, and unhappy as she

faced her failed marriage and Lyme disease.

“What things help people change at deeper levels?”

The biggest change for Fran occurred as a result of her work

with the renowned endocrinologist Diana Schwarzbein.

How Fran’s son’s extreme eczema led her to homeopathic

treatments and the discovery of the benefits of a gluten-free

diet

How Fran experimented with going GF, saw a huge difference, and

felt that a “veil was lifted.”

She now uses muscle testing with clients to test for gluten

sensitivity.

“Nobody should be eating gluten.”

How Fran also has her clients remove soy and peanuts from their

diets, and why

Why there is such an increase in toxins in today’s

nutrition

How Fran uses information from basic lab tests and muscle tests

to help her clients

Fran explains the science of what gluten does to gut health,

including leaky gut, hyperactive immunity, and overreacting

inflammation.

The good news is that the gut damage CAN be repaired and some

foods can be added back in after 3 months to 2 years.

Fran explains her “passion topics” of mechanistic vs. dynamic

views of the body and health.

Fran explains why women past childbearing age should NOT do

cardio, but should focus on high-intensity interval training (HIT)

instead.

How interval training can make a huge difference for women

Why Fran now uses strength training, intermittent fasting,

ketosis, and yoga to maintain optimal health

Rebuilding bones CAN happen, even after menopause!
