I have always been fighting my battle with weight and am the kind of guy that will follow a program, if it’s all set up. I was tired of squeezing into seats, seat belts, pants/shirts and sick & tired of feeling sick & tired. I decided to lose weight once and for all. My son’s wedding was coming up in a few months and I wanted to look and feel good.
I noticed pictures of success stories at the local fitness institute and knowing the people, I said to myself, “I can do it too!” I have always been active (being a former CFL Football player), but never took nutrition seriously.
My sons took me into the Healthenut Café to show me what nutrition was really about and to see if they could help me. They put me on their weekly WOLF2GOprogram, I didn’t know what to expect. At first it was a little scary, because actually eating Whole Organic Live Food wasn’t something I was used to... but the weekly food plan was wonderful and has made all the difference to me.
The people at the café were very informative, answering my questions (on what and why I was eating these foods) and very friendly as well. We have had a lot of fun over the last few months.
Having my food prepared for me daily has shown me portion control and that I don’t need a lot to eat to enjoy life and be satisfied.
The plan that I have been following is kind of a 80/20 plan. Monday to Friday I eat the delicious, breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks and desserts the café makes for me including pastas, cheese-less cakes, cookies, burgers, lasagna, falafels, wraps, smoothies and more and then on the weekend I’m on my own. I find that even though I choose to eat whatever I want on those days, I actually still eat healthy on the weekends and follow their food plans most of the time.
Eating this way on the program I feel better & I have more energy. I’m not tired and the added bonus is I lost 50 lbs in four months for my son’s wedding. Even though the wedding has come and gone I’m still following the Healthenut program and I am now working on my personal weight goal. Wish me Luck!
With the help from the Healthenut Staff you too can achieve your healthy goals whether its weight loss or just wanting more energy. Thank-you to Susan and her Fabulous Staff.

Hi Susan,
"The WOLF certification was awesome. I was able to learn great WOLF recipes that I love, and am now confident and excited to share with family and friends. More than that, I appreciate that I was able to meet new friends who support the same food lifestyle and got a dose of motivation and encouragement every week. It's unfortunate that it was only four weeks, and by far is an amazing value for what you take away each week. When is part two?"

I must share with you all, the best start to a year I have ever experienced!
I had the honour and pleasure to attend Susan's first Organic Live Food Certification Program. Our class consisted of 5 other people. We all shared a common goal, a thirst for knowledge that we were finding difficult to obtain on our own. Susan promised to walk us through 28 recipes, teach nutrition, food combining and show us "tips" to preparing delicious meals. Susan removed the mystery and made us all believe that we could make anything our hearts desired. My day flew by. We had lots of hands on experience. We worked while Susan imparted her extensive knowledge with humour and simplicity. I loved meeting the other 5 participants. We shared a common bond and that was a desire to be in the best health we could and to share that knowledge with our friends and family's. I highly recommend Susan's program. My journey has not ended with the completion of the program. In fact it has just begun. I know that I will be a part of the "Healthenut" experience for many years to come.
Thanks Susan for providing such a positive and uplifting experience. Good luck.

Thank you for taking your one day off a week and sharing your expertise. Anyone can buy a raw food recipe book and learn recipes but your course offers far more. You show how to put love in the food, teach health skills and continue to build community values. You taught us that simple food does indeed taste delicious and we are now empowered to own our own health.
With Gratitude,

I had the pleasure of being a part of Healthenut's first certification course.

It was extremely informative and beneficial for better understanding of preparing and eating living foods. I was able to learn just how easy this food is to prepare and the huge health benefits this food has for your body!

Thanks Susan for sharing your passion and expertise for this lifestyle for better health. I can honestly say that I've never felt better in my life. As I continue to heal from the terrible side effects of surgery and chemotherapy due to a diagnosis of stage 3C ovarian cancer last June, I know that this way of eating has supported my healing in a huge way!
Thank you, Susan!

Thank you Susan!

Am I ever happy you opened your place here in Georgetown, The health E nut Juice Bar & Cafe.
When I was recently diagnosed with a serious illness, I called you for some advice. I'll never forget that you came to see me immediately. You offered excellent advice and support, but, most of all a huge HUG!
Your passion for healthy living is radiant, you beam when you talk about it. It is something that makes sense in this very crazy, fast paced world. You've got something special Susan and you're happy to share it with everyone willing to listen.
Well, there are many listeners here in Georgetown. The news on the street is Susan opened up her new Cafe and everyone is so pleased with the results!
Since my illness put me on a very strict diet, I was finding the food I was making for myself very boring and bland to say the least! Then, I went to your cafe for my first lunch and was "blown away"!
The food tastes "AMAZING" and it's so healthy and nutritious. The entrees are very tasty and the desserts are unbelievably delicious! With each bite, you ask yourself, ok, is this really good for me?? I love the fact that everything is organic, contains no sugar, dairy, wheat, animal fats or animal protein.
Thank you Susan. Along with the great food, I look forward to this new location to accomodate all of us that want to learn how to maintain a healthier way of life and especially all the food demonstrations to teach us to eat like this at home!
All the best Susan!
I'll see you for lunch tomorrow!

I heard others talk about it and read good things about it, but I needed to try it for myself to see if it really was worth all the hype. I ate only raw food for 21 days.. I basically blended my greens with fruit and hemp seeds for breakfast and ate raw nuts, seeds and fruit the rest of the day. The first few days were hard, probably because of all the bad stuff leaving my system but after seeing the pounds drop starting from day one, I started feeling great and full of energy.
Also, I had been taking prescription medication for acid reflux for over 12 years and if I forgot to take it even for one day, I would suffer from bad heartburn until I took another pill. I decided to try not taking it while on eating only raw. Amazingly, I only had to take it on two days out of the month..compared to once a day! Funny thing about those two days I had to take the medication is that I cheated on those days and had a slice of pizza one day and a few chicken wings the other day!
After the 21 days, I had lost 25lbs, feel great and don’t have to rely on acid reflux medication anymore(after over 12 years of taking it every single day!). I have modified my eating styles since then but not by much. I am still raw but more like 80% and will see how it goes for this month.
The pumpkin pie!
That was soooo good! If I wasn’t so broke right now, I’d be buying a whole pumpkin pie today. That cream on top was amazing too! Please thank her for me..my day is made, lol!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning Susan,
I have had 2 of my Rawgust Menu selections and they are beyond wonderful!
I am so excited that I have met you and now have the fabulous opportunity
to feed myself in what I believe and know is food that has been prepared
with great consciousness, care and attention.
I look forward to my next meals....please put me in for a menu next week!

I don't even know where to begin with Sue Wilson, the woman that saved my life from that first TPED meeting almost two years ago, which was an event advertised as "Save Your Life, The Project to End Disease".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something clicked for me that day and I've been on a constant journey learning more and more as time goes by. I can't thank Sue enough for getting me on this path of better health and being there for me when I need her. Her "free" monthly meetings keep me on track, keep me motivated and I so enjoy being around like-minded people. This is just something else Sue does out of the goodness of her heart, she just wants to genuinely help people. She's such an inspiration. I was fortunate enough to go to the Raw Spirit Festival in Sedona in 2008 with her which was another life-changing experience, something I would have never done on my own, it was incredible. Because of Sue I've implemented raw food into my diet and feel better than I ever have. I had debilitating migraines and that was the last straw for me. Now with what I've learned and implemented into my life I no longer suffer the way I used to. When I start to stray too far from healthy living my body tells me and I always come back to the simple fact……..that when I was at my prime it’s because of what I learned through Sue, sometimes I just have to remind myself of that. Knowing what I know now about what diseases may have followed, had I have not made the changes I did, I really do believe…..Sue Wilson saved my life! Thanks Sue!......I continue to look forward to learning from you. E. Foley

Susan,
Everything is fabulous! I think we should all do a cleanse like this every season. Hint, hint :-)
Including the meal plan was brilliant. For me, it relieved the stress of trying to figure out what goes where and when.
I know that is a lot of work for you but is a tremendous help to this customer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Susan,
Hope you are doing well.
Your raw Xmas feast was great!
I loved everything.
I think my favorite was the chili, it was tastier than any cooked chili
I have ever had! Would you share the recipe? :) I even shared some of
the food with a co-worker that is interested in raw food, she loved
everything I gave her.
Thanks again,Lee Anne

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Susan, I have to say this food is fantastic! I’ve been enjoying
it exclusively over the last 3 days.
Thank you!

Hi Susan,
Just wanted to let you know that since starting on the 'Smoking herbs',
I haven't had a cigarette in almost 3 weeks!
The first couple days I was very irritable and explosive (mostly toward my teenage son).
It didn't take too long for me to realize that one tiny pinch of herb calmed
me down IMMEDIATELY! One minute I was a screaming demon, and then within
seconds the nutrients in these herbs took away all the anxiety.
My girlfriend who is a smoker tried a pinch, and she said she immediatly felt
care free, and without noticing hadn't lit a smoke for two hours afterwards.
Needless to say she is waiting for the next shipment, and is
quite excited now about quitting. Also, I have done several cleanses in the past couple months... With the
Candida G cleanse, I was passing quite a bit of Candida AFTER about 3
months into it. From there I did a (30 day) Parasite Cleanse with you,
combined with a series of Colonics. After about 2 weeks I found a 2-3"
roundworm in my stool, and for another 2 weeks following, dozens, probably
hundreds of pinworms in my stool everyday! Actually a few were still
coming out a week or two after finishing the Black walnut, cloves and
herbs! And to top off all of these cleanses I have spent this week eating
mostly Raw foods that you had prepared for me. Which was still very
cleansing, most days having a second bowel movement, where I have always
been a one a day person. Taking into consideration that I am a physically
fit Personal Trainer with a body composition of only 15% body fat and
have never been overweight in my life, and fairly concious of what I
eat(although sugar is one of my weaknesses), most people I know are
shocked when I tell them these stories, as looking at me, or comparing me
to others my age and 20 years younger, to them I look Healthy. My point
being that if someone such as myself is full of parasites, candida and
only God knows what else, then the people who don't exercise, cleanse or
provide their bodies with the nutrients it needs would benefit ten fold
above me, for their bodies are no doubt screaming for the attention it
deserves. Thank you for your support, and all of your educational
insights. I know that anyone who will listen can become healthier with
your guidance and knowledge...

Dear Susan,
Congratulations on the new website, it looks great!
I am happy to report that after almost a year of doing your week long raw detox,
I have kept off the original 10 lbs I lost, and lost an additional 10+ lbs over
the course of the past year.I did not start smoking again, either.
When I decided to do your detox last year I was in bad health.
I had had surgery six months before and I was simply not healing.
I guess that living on coffee and cigarettes will do that to you.
I lacked the motivation and direction to make the changes I needed to make
to turn things around. I had no energy and was depressed most of the time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have to say that getting us all together, providing information, guidance
and making food for the week available made it so much easier.
I personally stayed on the raw food diet for almost six weeks.
My husband only lasted a week but it really impacted his eating habits to this day.
He saw the changes in himself and his energy level and is much more careful about
WHAT he eats, rather than worrying about how much.
He lost over 20 lbs very quickly, and in the places he always had a hard time losing it,
even when limiting food intake and exercising almost daily.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Susan for your guidance and we (my husband, and I) wish you success with your business.
I am quite sure there are many people you will help.
I look forward to taking part in another detox week with your support .
Best regards,
J. Gallant
