Your Health Matters

​

Located in Bellevue, Washington ReCode Nutrition was founded in 2017 and is owned and operated by Sue Bentsen, LLC providing in-office and telehealth services world wide.

​

Bio

After completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing, Sue gained diverse clinical experiences working in specialties that included bone marrow transplant, post-partum care, and occupational health. These unique areas of practice fostered a passion for health promotion along with an interest in environmental toxicology, epigenetics,
disease prevention and risk assessment.

​​

More than a decade ago, Sue was introduced to Functional Medicine in the process of treating her own health issues. This inspired her to pursue a Master of Science degree in Functional Medicine and Human Nutrition where she graduated with distinction, while also completing an advanced Nutrition Residency with Dr. Kara Fitzgerald.

​​

Sue’s interest in complex illness and neuro-immunology was founded early in her career and continues today. She was among the first group of clinicians to become certified in a Dr. Dale Bredesen’s protocol aimed at the prevention and reversal of Alzheimer’s Disease (ReCODE). Having a family member and countless friends impacted by Alzheimer’s Disease, Sue is passionate about education, early screening and intervention. Sue co-created the public FB forum, Vital Minds for Life where she hopes others will be inspired to adopt health promoting diet and lifestyle measures.
