About

Hi everyone, I am Suzette Chaumette, MPH, a researcher, food coach, and social entrepreneur with over 25 years in health care.  During my career have too often seen people suffering from food related issues like preterm birth, diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure, that can all be prevented. I focus on helping people learn how, what, and where we eat for better outcomes. That’s how Food Indy came to be.

What I love most is teaching people how to eat for health and wellness and grow food forests in small spaces. I have over 22,000 followers on social media platforms, where I share simple techniques for eating well to live a healthy, fulfilled life.

I host The Food Indy Podcast, The Positively Green Podcast and Unpack the Real Stuff, and love connecting with people on thier food journeys, wherever they are. I love food - growing it, cooking it and eating it!

And just in case you need my credentials, here they are. I’ve done a lot that I am proud of that I can share with you. In 2003, I graduated from Celia Scott Weatherhead School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in Maternal and Child Health, I am a Cultural Humility Facilitator, and a Permaculture Designer, who combines all of my experience in Food Indy, all about getting people closer to thier food.

But the accomplishment that I am most proud of is the role that I play in my family, being a mother to two daughters, auntie to 7 nephews, a caregiver and death doula to my parents through the end of their lives, and having long lasting, solid friendships.

I am available to coach you and consult on projects, whether you want to eat better or start a podcast. I am also open for public health and community engagement projects, including focus group planning, facilitation, and user interviews. Reach out and let’s talk about your projects. Follow me on TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
