Hi I’m Sue,
I’ve been passionate about health and wellness for over 30 years, always believing that I was on the right track, making the right choices. But on December 21st, 2017—my grandson’s birthday—everything changed. I had a heart attack.
A Heart Attack – Not the best present in the world.
It wasn’t just a scare. It was the kind of wake-up call that forced me to question everything I thought I knew about health. That morning, I was rushed to St. Bart’s hospital, and after an emergency operation, I woke up with three stents and a bag of seven different medications. The doctors told me I would be on these drugs for life. I wasn’t prepared to accept that!
There I was, lying in the hospital bed, staring at this bag of medications. Seven pills a day—forever. The object that became the symbol of my future was that bag, and it filled me with dread. It wasn’t the life I envisioned. I decided, right then and there, that I had to find a way off those drugs. It wasn’t just about surviving—I wanted to thrive. I wanted to find a way back to true health. That small bag was the spark for a journey I didn’t yet understand, but I knew I had to start.
Searching for Answers
At first, I felt completely lost. I searched everywhere for answers—books, articles, websites—but instead of clarity, I found an overwhelming sea of information. Conflicting advice, misinformation, and false promises seemed to lurk around every corner. Was there a magic bullet? A miracle cure? At times, it felt impossible to know what was real and what wasn’t. But the more I researched, the more one simple truth started to rise to the surface: Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).
I had been taking fish oil supplements for years, and I thought I was protected. How wrong I was.
What led me to essential fatty acids (EFAs) was my research on their impact on heart health. There turned out to be masses of research, 2.25m answers on Google Scholar alone, emphasising their importance and the crucial impact they have on every single cell in the body. On a broader note the scale of that importance began to become very clear, looking into their impact began to excite me about the possibility of finding a way to get off the drugs.
My First Encounter with Test Based Nutrition
One day, a friend asked me a question that changed the course of my journey: “Do you actually know if your fish oil is working?”
Of course, I didn’t. So, I took a test that measured my Omega-3 levels. The results were shocking—despite decades of taking expensive fish oil, I was severely deficient. My heart attack suddenly made sense, and the risk didn’t stop there—my Omega-3 imbalance meant I was also at risk for diabetes, arthritis, and other chronic diseases. It was a crushing realization, but it also gave me a clear path forward: I needed to address this deficiency, or I would never truly be well.
Horrifying results!
Of course, I didn’t. So, I took a test that measured my Omega-3 levels. The results were shocking—despite decades of taking expensive fish oil, I was severely deficient. My heart attack suddenly made sense, and the risk didn’t stop there—my Omega-3 imbalance meant I was also at risk for diabetes, arthritis, and other chronic diseases. It was a crushing realisation, but it also gave me a clear path forward: I needed to address this deficiency, or I would never truly be well.
That’s when I found Zinzino Balance Oil and the science behind test-based nutrition. For the first time, I had real, actionable data on my health, and I could see the deficiencies I needed to correct.
This discovery was a pivotal moment for me. After years of thinking I was doing everything right, I learned how deeply misled I had been. I wasn’t just fighting to avoid another heart attack—I was fighting for a better future, for my family, for my grandson who had spent his birthday without me. This emotional drive kept me going as I started to implement small but powerful changes in my diet and supplementation.
These were changes that made a world of difference, but the most profound emotional moment came when I re-tested after 90 days, you can see my results here. The improvements in my health markers were remarkable. For the first time, I felt hopeful, not just for survival, but for long-term health. Under supervision, I started to reduce my medications. I was regaining control of my health.
Simple Additions – Life Changing Results
These were changes that made a world of difference, but the most profound emotional moment came when I re-tested after 90 days. The improvements in my health markers were remarkable. For the first time, I felt hopeful, not just for survival, but for long-term health. Under supervision, I started to reduce my medications. I was regaining control of my health.
The journey didn’t end there. Over the course of several months, I layered in more simple changes to my diet and supplementation, focusing on EFAs, gut health, and immune system support. With every step, I saw measurable improvements in my health. After 40 more days, I was able to completely stop my medications, except for the occasional low-dose aspirin.
A Clean Bill of Heart Health
Five years later, my heart health is the best it’s ever been. I recently underwent three separate ECGs, and each one came back with the same surprising result: no signs of heart disease. Even the doctors couldn’t believe it. I had turned my health around entirely, not just through medication but by addressing the root cause—my diet and nutrient balance..
Looking back on this journey, I’m filled with gratitude for the knowledge I gained and for the remarkable people, like Dr. Paul Clayton, who guided me. Through test-based nutrition and the right supplementation, I was able to transform my health—and it wasn’t complicated. It didn’t require extreme diets or bizarre health fads. It required small, simple changes.
I now share these insights with others because I know how powerful they can be. You don’t have to live in fear of chronic disease or resign yourself to a lifetime of medications. You can take control of your health, just like I did, with the right knowledge and the right tools. If you’re ready to learn more about how you can make these changes, I’m here to help.
