About Lusi

meet silu, founder of lusi

Hi, I am Silu (pronounced SEE-lou) Sao, a chef, nutrition geek, and author. I am here to help you get to the HOW of wellness that works specifically for your life. I create recipes (gluten-free and plant-forward) that are super tasty yet respectful of your time, and I will show you how to riff the recipes for just about everyone in your family. The cornerstone of good health is eating well, but we will integrate other aspects of your life that are in balance or disrupted to get you to whole health. Click here to read Silu’s full bio.

BRIDGE TO THE HOW.

Wellness encompasses many aspects--not just our body, but our mind, our life’s work, and spirit too. It is all intertwined. Many people understand the WHY we should be healthy. Some people understand WHAT they are supposed to do. But, it’s the bridge to the HOW that is the hardest and where the rubber meets the road to make long term, sustainable shifts.

DREAM BIG.

LUSI offers a new way to well. We need to look at everything in life as it is interconnected because it is. We work to connect the dots and provide a roadmap and directions whether you already know WHAT you are supposed to do or not. Like fingerprints, everyone’s journey and set of solutions is unique to them. We are in constant evolution and we will support you as you grow towards the better version of your already great self. When you feel great, you can dream big.

LUSI offers individual nutrition consultations, one-off questions, ongoing coaching, healthful recipes, cooking classes, cooking demos, resources, and content such as our weekly newsletter called The Weekly Plant (sign up here) to give you actionable and practical steps in small bite-sized, digestible pieces. We help you get to the HOW. 

LUSI has been in business since 2017 under the name EatSmileGlow. We’ve learned, grown, and evolved, just like everyone else because we are all works in progress.
