In this captivating compendium, you’ll read never-before-told-stories on how Susan’s obstacles shaped her life and were actually life-enriching catalysts that supercharged her whole-body healing from health-destroying illnesses and enabled her to come out the other side feeling rich with gratitude for every experience and in charge of her own high-level wellness destiny.

In Wired for High-Level Wellness: Simple Ways to Rejuvenate, Meditate & Prosper, Susan is in a unique position to testify on the efficacy of her basic message that health is the result of the countless choices we make every day. When her back was fractured in a serious automobile accident, her physician told her that she would never be able to carry “anything heavier than a small purse.” Susan chose not to accept this verdict; within months, there was no longer any pain or even evidence of the fracture. Soon, she fully regained her healthy, active lifestyle. She attributes her healing to her natural-foods diet, faith, determination, perseverance, balanced living and, most importantly, to her unshakable relationship with and deep connection to God.

Since the accident, Susan has been constantly active in spreading her faith-based message that anyone can choose to create a healthy, happy, peaceful, and balanced life. Her inspiring message and innovative techniques for achieving total health have won her a grateful and enthusiastic following and have put her in constant demand internationally as a health and fitness consultant and educator. A gifted teacher, Susan brings together modern research and ageless wisdom in all of her work. Visit her website, SusanSmithJones.com, to read excerpts and the chapter-by-chapter contents for Wired for High-Level Wellness.

With candid and thoughtful insight throughout the pages of Wired for High-Level Wellness, Susan provides an enthralling narrative and precise roadmap on how to be truly healthy — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. As the reader, you will feel like you are sitting across from Susan at her kitchen table, visiting over a cup of fresh juice or tea while she shares her most sacred and coveted secrets with you on how to transform your life and live your highest dreams for yourself. Susan tells us in many different ways in the book to always dream big and to let our imaginations soar — visualizing our goals. She shares this famous quote by Albert Einstein: “Imagination is everything. It is the preview to life’s coming attraction.” And she adds, “This reminds me of the Bible scripture, Hebrews 11:1, ‘Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’ God will seed your imagination with something that is special and just for you. Our mission, if we choose to accept it, is to believe wholeheartedly, imagine our goals as already achieved, assume the feeling of that wish fulfilled, keep the faith, live gratefully, and continue to move onward and upward.”

Susan’s heartfelt personal stories will have you on the edge of your seat; her humor will have you laughing so hard that you will receive a great abdominal workout; and her sound nutritional and holistic lifestyle guidance will have you feeling healthier, happier, and more hopeful before you’ve even finished Chapter 1.

Ever wonderful why even the most physically fit people feel off-kilter at times and lose that joy of living? Overwhelmed by life? Always wishing they could look better and thrive more from day to day? To be truly healthy, people need to do more than eat a colorful, whole-foods diet, get enough shut-eye and jog around the block. They also need to be mentally and spiritually balanced — calm, focused, energized and joyful — something author Susan Smith Jones, PhD has been practicing and teaching for over 35 years.

“Getting back to basics” is the foundation of Susan’s most helpful and comprehensive book, Choose to THRIVE.

Balance is the key and Susan keeps the reader focused on the long-term results that come from a healthy lifestyle. Whether people are looking for the best superfoods to restore youthful vitality, easy ways to minimize stress and feel joyfully alive, or just want to simplify life, feel confident, achieve heartfelt goals, prosper and achieve success and flourish in your life, Choose to THRIVE is the book with it all.

Knowing which choices are the healthy choices is what this book addresses.

Who doesn’t want those qualities to infuse their daily activities and lives? This reader-friendly, health-enhancing and beautifully designed book makes a wonderful gift for family and friends.

The ABCs of Sprouts & How They Supercharge Vitality — Part 1

Susan extols the virtues of sprouts in this radio interview on This Week in America. As she enthusiastically opines, sprouts are nature’s little miracles. In his poetry collection entitled Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman wrote, “The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.” You start with a small, dry, hard seed. Add air and a little water and watch as new life emerges as if by magic from the dormant seed. Vibrant with life and bursting with energy, its tiny size belies the extraordinary activity that takes place while growing. In mere hours, and at a cost to you of just pennies, its delicate shoot proceeds to provide the most vital food imaginable. After listening to this motivating interview, not only will you want to purchase Susan’s book Kitchen Gardening, but you will be ready to start your adventure into the wonderful world of sprouting. And even if you don’t want to grow sprouts at home, you’ll be inspired to add store-bought sprouts, these gems of nature, into your healthy diet. To listen now, click HERE.
