ABOUT
Hello and Welcome! I'm Susan Black, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I help women in midlife and menopause create healthy eating and lifestyle habits for better health, more energy, managing a healthy weight, improved sleep, and tackling those pesky hot flashes.

-
Are you sick of dieting, struggling with your weight, and tired of stressing about what to eat?
-
Do you want to have more energy, curb cravings, and reduce stress eating?
-
Are you frustrated and exhausted from the "eat less and exercise more" routine for weight loss?
-
Do you notice brain fog creeping in, achy joints and pain, weight gain, hot flashes, and getting good sleep feels more like a dream than reality?
-
Are you concerned about your health, increasing cholesterol, blood pressure, and risk of prediabetes?
-
Ready to stop yo-yo dieting, ditch diets, end the all-or-nothing thinking, and focus on good health rather than the number on the scale?
-
Would you like to spend your time and energy enjoying life rather than counting calories, macros, or points?​
-
Are you suffering with perimenopause or menopause symptoms that leave you feeling more like a "hot mess" and less like yourself?
​
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you're in the right place!
​Get off the diet roller coaster for good and create healthy and sustainable habits to thrive. I don't believe in diets, counting calories or macros, eliminating foods you enjoy, or that the number on the scale measures your success. I believe in focusing on the goal of good health rather than the number on the scale, and that small changes get big results.
I look at the whole picture of you by addressing nutrition, eating habits, lifestyle, exercise, stress, sleep, mindset, and self-care.
​
If you're ready to create a healthy lifestyle plan, without the stress and overwhelm of a diet, schedule a 20-minute inquiry call with me. Let's talk about you, where you struggle, and if my services are a good fit for you.

​
​
I have over 30 years experience as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist helping women in midlife build healthy nutrition and lifestyle habits without the stress of some unrealistic and frustrating diet. I became a dietitian because I wanted to help others learn how to use food to improve their health and feel their best. Healthy eating doesn't have to be complicated or restrictive; it should be easy and enjoyable and fit into your life.
I've always believed in the proverb "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." One positive step can lead to so many positive actions in our lives.
​
I enjoy exercising, spending time with my family and friends, gardening, traveling, and trying new things. Life is an adventure!
​
I accept HSA/FSA cards and credit/debit card.

"Working with Susan is such a joy! She is compassionate, charismatic, nonjudgmental, and a great listener. She sculpts health plans for each individual she sees taking the time to understand their background, challenges, and needs. Susan focuses on making sustainable lifestyle changes, not restrictive crash diets that are hard to stick to. She has always advocated for me with much needed guidance and encouragement.
