Guest Profile: Suzy Cohen
Author of Drug Muggers: Which Medications Are Robbing Your Body of Essential Nutrients--and Natural Ways to Restore Them. A graduate of the University of Florida and have been a licensed pharmacist for over 20 years. People call her “America’s Most Trusted Pharmacist” because she's spent the the last 12 years writing a syndicated column on health which reaches millions of people each week. In her own words: People write to me from all over the world and thank me for giving them natural options, or for helping them stay safe on medications they need to take. I realize the importance and need for medications, but I prefer to think outside the pillbox. This mindset comes through in my work and has made me quite popular. As a young adult, I never dreamed that I would choose such a responsible position, and care for so many people’s lives by sharing my advice. Your letters (& emails) of gratitude for my work are such an honor to receive.
I’m a bit of a clinical nerd, though I am invited to do alot of public speaking, television and radio. I confess that at this point of my life, I actually have fun doing media work for FOX, ABC, CBS, CNN and other television affiliates. Go figure. I think it’s cause I get a make up artist and the event usually includes new shoes!
I love to scrapbook and bead. My dining room table is covered with stones, crystals and pliers. Since my husband does glass artwork, it’s fair to say that our dining room table has no room on it whatsoever for food. You can visit our jewelry site to see our handmade beautiful pendants and earrings. Since I am a gator, I have lots of gator stuff… Click Here
Eating is quite possibly my favorite pastime with sushi ranking at the top of the list. It’s the spicy sauce. And here’s my hidden talent–I can make beautiful, perfect sushi rolls. I also love Greek and Indian cuisine….good coffee, chocolate and pizza. Did I mention I like to eat? Maintaining my size requires work so I enjoy the gym, where I take a weekly dance class and ‘dance like no one’s watching.’ I’m okay but it’s a good thing I have this day job of writing.
After the release of my first book, The 24-Hour Pharmacist (Collins, 2007), I did alot of booksignings, speaking engagements, radio, podcasts and TV shows. I call Florida my home. Sam and I have had the pleasure of loving 3 fantastic children named Samara (19), Rachel (16), and Michael (16). I am extremely proud of them, and their presence in my life allows me to wake up with a smile each day.
