At Eat for Life, we use functional nutrition to help you improve your energy, digestion, mood, and mental clarity. We work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with nutrient imbalances, chronic symptoms, or emotional stress that hasn’t been resolved with standard care.
Everything we do is focused on practical, food-based solutions. We help you identify what’s missing in your diet, how to support your gut and brain, and how to create habits that lead to lasting change. Book your free consultation today to get started on your health journey.

Nutrition Therapy is a direct approach that looks at how nutrients affect body systems. It’s not a one-size plan or a diet. It’s a method that finds and supports what your body needs.
We work with people who want real answers and a plan they can follow. Common concerns include:
ADHD and difficulty focusing
Anxiety, depression, and mood swings
Gut problems like bloating, gas, or food reactions
Low energy, brain fog, or fatigue
Nutrient imbalances affecting sleep, hormones, or behavior
Disordered eating patterns or appetite issues
Based out of Seven Lakes, North Carolina, Samantha Gilbert has helped hundreds of individuals and families find answers through functional nutrition. Her work focuses on the connection between food, mental health, and chronic symptoms — using simple, direct strategies that support the body’s natural healing process.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Samantha Gilbert first launched her nutrition counseling practice on the West Coast. She spent years helping individuals in Oregon and California before moving to North Carolina, where she continues to provide personalized functional nutrition counseling to clients in Pinehurst, Southern Pines, and Moore County—as well as nationwide through virtual sessions.
For over 16 years, Samantha has helped individuals and families identify biochemical imbalances that impact mental health, gut function, and energy levels. As both a functional nutrition counselor and child nutritionist, she works with parents to create customized nutrition plans that support a child’s brain health, growth, and development.
Whether you’re in Pinehurst, Southern Pines, or anywhere in Moore County, North Carolina, or seeking virtual support from anywhere in the country, Eat for Life provides personalized, science-backed nutrition counseling.
Samantha also hosts the Eat for Life Podcast, where she shares practical strategies for improving health through nutrition.
