After a career in corporate America and a tragic accident, local nutrition and fitness enthusiast, Susan Gazerro inspires others to get well and stay well.
Sue's passion for pursuing a healthy lifestyle began in her early twenties. She started her path to health by simply running a quarter mile everyday and eventually reaching 3 miles per day. Even though physical exercise is an important aspect of healthy living, Susan also began to incorporate balanced eating and a positive attitude to her daily activities.
Her exposure to the busy lifestyle that many Americans lead made her realize that not having enough time for yourself can have a negative affect on your overall health and well-being. After seeing so many people in an unhealthy situation, at the young age of 35, Sue became a fitness instructor in order to inspire others to attain cardiovascular and muscular fitness.
In June of 2007, she was involved in a life-threatening automobile accident that left her in a coma with severe brain injuries. Physicians said that had she not been at her peak level of health and fitness her recovery process would have been much more difficult if not impossible. Susan attributes much of her successful recovery to the help of her friends and family and to her desire to pursue a life as a fitness and health educator.
Susan focuses on eating all-natural and healthy foods on a daily basis and believes that all the health that we need can come from consuming organic and balanced meals. Additionally, incorporating movement and exercise is important in attaining and maintaining a naturally healthy lifestyle. Gazerro states that "exercise and natural, healthy foods are not only part of [her] everyday routine-- they are a priority."
When asked to summarize her life mission in relation to health and fitness, Gazerro stated that she wants to show others how to be "as active as your body allows, to eat as healthy as possible without depriving yourself, and to simply feel good so you can enjoy life."
Additionally, physical health and fitness go hand-in-hand with mental health. Susan believes that it is important for individuals to use a healthy lifestyle to build a sound mind and body so that you can endure the "ups and downs" of life.
