Susan Rex Ryan

Susan Rex Ryan is the award-winning author of the Amazon international bestseller "Defend Your Life" about the awesome health benefits of vitamin D including the potential prevention of autism, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and multiple sclerosis. Her most recent book is an update to "Defend Your Life"; aptly called "Defend Your Life II" that contains the latest vitamin D information and research. Sue's other book "Silent Inheritance" addresses ground-breaking information on DNA related to depression. Suffering from inherited depression later in life, Sue researched the medical literature as well as learned to acquire and interpret genetic data related to methylation and depression. She hopes to inspire her "Silent Inheritance" readers to empower themselves with information about predisposed depression. Her plethora of health articles have been published on her SmilinSuePubs blog, Hormones Matter website, and in Choices Magazine. Sue was featured on ABC television's "The Morning Blend" (see video) and is a regular guest on radio shows where she discusses health benefits. In 2015, she presented "The Connection between Vitamin D and Autism" to a conference for parents of autistic children. Sue holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Georgetown University and a Master of Science degree from the U.S. military's National War College. In addition, she has earned scores of Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits from accredited U.S. medical programs approved by, inter alia, The American Academy of Family Physicians. Her professional memberships include the Vitamin D Council and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. For the majority of her life, Sue endured an undiagnosed vitamin D deficiency from lack of adequate sun exposure, a common situation for millions of people living outside the equatorial region. After retiring in her early 50's, Sue parlayed her science background with a quest to attain a medical understanding of hormonal imbalance. She attended medical conferences, seminars, and workshops to learn about vitamin D and other hormones from renowned experts. Having extensively researched compelling medical findings about vitamin D's benefits, Sue successfully became "vitamin D healthy." In "Defend Your Life" she shares her impassioned self-help success as well as her knowledge about vitamin D with the hope that the information in her book will empower the health and quality of life of many people.
