Founder and President, Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating
Seattle
Sutton knows a thing or two about healthy eating. Twenty-two years ago,
after working as a nurse in her husband’s private medical practice in
Marseilles, Ill., Sutton decided to create meals that would be both
nutritious and delicious.
“… One day a type 2 diabetic came in,” recounts Sutton. “My
husband always knew I was very interested in [nutrition], [and] he
called me in to help him make some menu plans [that would] hopefully
lower [the patient’s] blood sugar count.”
The patient’s declaration that “I’m not going to do all that work, but
if you did it for me, I’d stay on it,” inspired Sutton to create
Seattle Sutton’s Healthy Eating.
“Our meals are low-fat, low-cholesterol, sodium restricted, contain no
food dyes, and [have] zero trans fat,” shares Sutton. “The meals are
for anybody [who] wants to eat healthy. My mission is to improve
people’s eating habits,” Sutton says matter-of-factly. “It’s a
five-week menu rotation — if you’re on it for a year, you only repeat
the same meal 10 times.”
Sutton headlined the Smart Women, Smart Money seminar, which
was billed as the ‘modern girl’s guide to money and business.’ Sutton
gladly shared her success story with the seminar’s participants as a
template for all women entrepreneurs to follow. She has specific advice
for those who feel they are too old to start an entrepreneurial
venture. “I started this when I was 53 years old,” she says with a
laugh. “So you’re not ‘too old.’ [You’re] never too old.” – todd williams
