Who is Sue Cook
?Sue Cook is a nervous system literacy educator and creator of Decision State Intelligence™ (DSI), helping people decode how their bodies signal safety and risk in relationships. She’s passionate about empowering individuals to make confident, informed choices and trust their own instincts.
BSc (Hons) Lic LCCH. 5x award-winning neurodevelopment specialist, Sue has spent years helping brains and bodies communicate better, so people can think clearly, learn effectively, and make confident decisions. Dubbed the child brain whisperer, Sue’s work has global reach.
Sue is the author of several books including Brain in a Jar dementia prevention and heavy metal detox, Eat for your Brain, Nutrition for Special Needs, Maximise your Child’s Potential, The Chicken Report, The Chicken Report 2, and A Gift for Santa. She created DSI to do the same for decision-making — for business owners, leaders, and anyone who wants to understand the signals they might be missing under pressure.
Decision State Intelligence (DSI) is a practical, applied framework that teaches people how to read internal and external signals accurately, recognise when the nervous system is influencing decisions, distinguish between true insight and reactive noise, and make clear, confident decisions under pressure.
