Functional medicine practitioner, Dr. Susan Lovelle, joins Yuliana today for a truly fascinating conversation. Currently the Founder and CEO of Premiere Wellness, Dr. Susan spent 14 years as a professional ballet dancer after which she became a physician specializing in plastic surgery. In her current role with Premiere Wellness, she is thrilled to now be supporting women to heal from the inside out. In this week’s episode, she shares her tale of how she made life changes and regained control of her health after landing in the hospital multiple times, and how these events propelled her into finding a new purpose in helping others and making a difference in their lives.
Dr. Susan begins by recounting the event that redirected the course of her life - an illness that landed her in the intensive care unit three times. She then talks about her experience as the only plastic surgeon for miles and miles where she lived, how this took a toll on her health, and her subsequent commitment to make dietary changes and practice yoga. Dr. Susan also delves into the health disparity found in African American communities and how she started a functional medicine practice to help others achieve wellness in a holistic manner. The episode rounds off with her advice regarding how to make changes in your life - listen, let go, and live. As Dr. Susan states, the song “I am not Finished” resonates with her life, a fact that is made abundantly clear through her courageous and inspiring phoenix tale here today.
