Hi, I’m Susana, the founder of Functional Healthier Me. My lifelong curiosity has driven me to
seek answers, first through a Master’s in Mathematics and Actuarial Sciences, which led me to
work for multinational corporations in Spain, France, and the UK as a Global Benefits Manager.
However, my true passion lay in health, diet, and exercise.

I became a certified fitness, aerobics, and gymnastics teacher through the Royal Academy of
Gymnastics in Barcelona and later moved to New York, where I worked within the medical
system and became a Certified Medical Biller. My deep belief that health is shaped by
lifestyle—nourishing foods, mindset, movement, and community—has kept me vibrant and
healthy. But witnessing the struggles of loved ones, especially losing my sister to depression,
made me question the conventional approach to medicine.

Determined to understand more, I immersed myself in the work of highly honored doctors,
reaching out to and collaborating with many of them. I learned to see illness with
compassion—not as something to simply treat, but as a signal from the body. Instead of focusing
solely on disease, I began to ask: How can we support the person, so their body can do what it
was designed to do by Mother Nature—keep them alive and healthy?

During COVID, my perspective deepened as I helped an elderly neighbor regain vitality simply
through nourishing meals. My second wake up call, I realized that true health is about supporting
the body’s natural ability to heal, leading me to embark on my journey to becoming a Certified
Functional Nutrition Counselor. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding
nearly 60 individuals toward better health—not by focusing on illness, but by addressing the root
causes and strengthening the foundation of well-being.

I believe this is my purpose: to empower people to take control of their health and thrive.
