Plant Based Foodie, health and wellness coach

My Story

PCRM Food for Life Instructor, Physician Assistant

 
My name is Suzanne Fellows and I love food! I get excited over spicy food, tantalizing savory flavors, and of course, sweets. I am a true foodie! My family and I love to check out the latest new restaurants and food trucks in and around Detroit. I am also plant-based!

I have a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, with a minor in health and wellness, and a Masters in Health Sciences and Physician Assistant certification. I was great at diagnosing and treating diseases, repairing lacerations or broken bones, and enjoyed my rapport with my patients, but I had limited knowledge of, or time to teach, disease prevention. Our healthcare is designed to be “a pill for an ill” system, where people are not learning to care for their bodies, and expect the providers to treat their symptoms. It is my mission to change this; to empower children and adults to eat for their health, provide assistance to physicians to help educate their patients about plant based eating and lifestyle choices, and raise awareness to the responsibilities that medical schools have to educate physicians to be lifestyle advocates for their patients.

After many years of staying home with my children, who no longer stay home with me, I have re-connected to my undergraduate roots to promote wellness. In recent years I have become certified as a Functional Medicine Health Coach, earned a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies  and I am a Licensed Food For Life Instructor through the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.

I love being outside, hiking, riding my bicycle, walking my dogs, cooking, baking and most of all, eating.
