The Body Nexus - Helping each person find the best possible health.
This, in a nutshell, is my mission.
While everyone has their own story, the process of thorough evaluation involves listening and looking beneath the obvious. Determining the factors contributing to the “total body load” which are putting an individual’s health and vitality at risk, then devising a plan to deal with these is the process I employ with every patient.
There will be new blogs and articles offered regularly; so visit us often. Hover over Supplements up above to view and order as a preferred customer from my favorite product lines with a menu of over 15,000 supplement and self care products.– Dr. Susan Tanner

Meet Susan Tanner, MD
Physician Advisor
Using my 33 years of experience as a family practice physician, I focus more fully on the “whys” of your health needs rather than simply treating your symptoms – approaching wellness with a holistic and integrative approach.
Whether you are newly focused on your body’s wellness or are a dedicated athlete, my goal for you is the same. Through a combination of the right training plan and an investigation into your personal biochemistry, I aim to help you:
-
Find your lifetime nutritional plan to manage your weight and wellbeing.
-
Realize that exercise and movement are essential to lifelong wellness.
-
Enjoy the process of health self-empowerment.
How may I help you move forward in your journey to health?
– Susan Tanner, MD

How Supplements Can Help
The products suggested on this site are from various companies, but all are “third-party certified” meaning that they have been tested outside of their own production facility to assure that they are pure and that the label is correct as to the amount in each and every dose. Most are also hypoallergenic to the extent possible.
Why is this important? Currently, nutritional supplements are not regulated, so truth in labeling is not necessarily adhered to. Taking supplements is done for specific results and these cannot be attained if the product is not as described on the label. While you may choose to purchase your supplements elsewhere, please be sure that there is a certification of purity and unbiased third-party verification before you buy!
Purity of ingredients matters! An example I really like to cite is fish oil. Fish oil is made by extracting the oils from the livers of the fish. It would stand to reason that fish from heavily contaminated waters would contain these toxins in their livers; so why would we want to ingest that ourselves? Another example are B vitamins. These are often produced from brewer’s yeast, as it is rich in B vitamins. The problem is that brewer’s yeast is one of the top 10 foods when it comes to food sensitivities. That is why some may take B Complex and feel just terrible. It is not the B vitamins but the source that can cause this, so “hypoallergenic, non-yeast derived B vitamins” are essential.
Finally, the absorbability of the product needs to be considered. Some are bound in materials that do not dissolve or allow for good absorption and are rendered useless.

— Kelly, 52-year-old CPA
"I first met Dr. Tanner when she diagnosed a serious condition that I had, one which had stumped numerous other doctors. Over the years I've come to appreciate her deep knowledge of both traditional and environmental medicine. Add to that her expertise with different dietary and nutritional protocols, and you would be hard pressed to find a better resource if you are seeking to improve your wellness.”
– Paul O'Connor
"Dr. Tanner was an outstanding physician to me for many years. (She actually saved my husband's life when 20 other doctors could not find out what was wrong. But that's another story.) When she added Wellness Counselor to her capabilities, I was thrilled. With her guidance, I have lost 40 pounds and am becoming the strong and fit person I have always wanted to be. Not only that, she's one of the most caring people I have ever known."
— Nan O'Connor, MCC
