Functional Nutrition Services in North Carolina

“I have been trying to get to the bottom of what is going on with me for decades. I’ve gotten more answers and felt relief within a month following the guidelines Sami has provided for me. The nutritional guidance she has provided has been life changing!”

“Sami has been an imperative piece of healing my body and helping me to feel the best I’ve felt in years. Her approach is thorough, compassionate and she knows her stuff to boot! I was suffering from awful digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, inflammatory autoimmune, anxiety, and the list goes on and on. Thanks to Sami, all of those symptoms are on their way to being completely gone and for the first time in several years, I’ve seen the scale go down as well.”

“My wife and I are not people who have time to do reviews but after the results we have seen with Samantha we had to say something. My wife and I have dealt with various health issues over the years. My wife in particular has had severe health problems for 29 years, after my son was born to be exact. We have spent near or over $100,000.00 to find and fix her health problems with no relief. As menopause set in 10 years ago her issues got much worse. Samantha started working with my wife about a year ago and immediately my wife liked her. She didn’t push and was really good at letting my wife go at her pace, explaining and teaching us both on the journey. I found it invaluable to have Sami respond to us through email very quickly when we had more questions. The results? After many twists and turns with her health Sami was able to identify my wife’s issues through specific testing and I’m happy to say I have my wife back. She is not 100% but she is well on her way. Sami is so kind and tender with us and we truly appreciate her ability to understand people when they are at their lowest. No judging, no impatience, just kindness. Because of this we have referred her to so many of our friends and family and they all have the same results.”

“I found Sami when I was at a dead-end. I highly suspected I was copper toxic and had been searching for someone to help me for over a year. From the moment I first contacted Sami, she has been kind, professional, and very easy to communicate with. She took the time to fully understand everything I’ve dealt with (something no doctor has ever done), and as a result was not only able to discover my copper toxicity levels but also that I had a bacterial gut infection. I had no idea this was another issue contributing to my extreme host of chronic symptoms that have unraveled so many things in my life. The healing I’ve experienced since starting the protocol Sami created for me is unbelievable. In just one month, I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy, am happier, can think more clearly, hives and acne have cleared from my skin, my PCOS symptoms have started to go away, my entire body has become less inflamed to the point where I have dropped an entire pant size – the list goes on. I can’t recommend working with Sami enough. I wasn’t receiving any of the care I needed from any of my doctors, and believe I was on a path of destruction with my health that I didn’t know how to change. Sami had the knowledge and expertise to guide me and truly changed my life. It’s not easy to alter your lifestyle to find true healing, but with Sami’s protocol and support I have been able to. ***9 month update, things have only continued to improve! My debilitating premenstrual symptoms have fully resolved. I’m in the best state of health I’ve ever had as an adult. I am so incredibly grateful to Sami and all of her guidance. It’s been an investment to work with her, but I would make the same choice again and again.”

“It is difficult for me to put into words just how much Sami has turned my life around. I fell into an unexplained and out of the blue chronic illness about 6 months ago. After struggling with no answers from the u0022medical community,u0022 AKA traditional medicine, I turned to other options. I learned about Sami via her podcast and was extremely nervous to invest in the program, as it was and is a large investment for my budget, but I am so so grateful I did. Sami’s help is borderline magical in its efficacy, but all the while using evidence from bloodwork, urine samples, etc. While helping me with my u0022newu0022 GI problems relating to birth control and antibiotic overuse, Sami also shed light on lifelong symptoms I once saw as normal and part of who I am. I couldn’t believe my lifelong anxiety and depression would ever go away, but I am on a path to freedom with her help, off SSRIs and with a sense of peace I have not felt in years. Please, please, please, if you are like me 5ish months ago, pouring over these reviews trying to make a decision on whether to work with Sami, take this as a sign, DO IT! The path to healing is long, patience and trust are required, but I could never have gotten where I am today without Sami’s help. I was feeling around in total darkness and she shone a light. From the bottom of my heart – Thank you Sami!!”

“Working with Samantha has been such a blessing. She has truly changed my life. Before I first started working with Samantha a year and a half ago, I was feeling truly disheartened. I could not eat much without being in loads of discomfort, my energy was constantly depleted, and I suffered from acne, to name a few physical symptoms. During this time I was also experiencing a big dip in my mental health and was trying to recover from a harmful mindset regarding food, yet I was feeling so lost. Yet, I truly believe that it was by God’s grace I found Samantha and Eat for Life. I thought I had been trying everything before meeting Samantha. I was about ready to throw up my hands and simply accept the discomfort I was, in and just suffer through it for life. Now a year and a half later I am somewhere where I never imagined I would be. I have no stomach aches, the clearest skin I have ever had, loads of energy, healed my relationship with food, and am in the best mental state I have ever been in. I truly feel and act like a different person. After so many years of silently suffering, I don’t think I imagined I would or even could be in the place I am now, thanks to Samantha. She is so thoughtful, and kind, truly cares about her clients and is willing to work with you through the hard times, even when things take a while. I 100% recommend working with Samantha. For me, it did take diligence and patience to follow my protocol, but the wait and effort was so beyond worth it. The best decision I ever made!”

“Working with Sami has been such an incredible gift. I have worked with functional practitioners in the past and she is more thorough and knowledgeable than anyone I have worked with. After listening to podcasts from psychiatrists trained under Dr. William Walsh, I had the feeling that I was undermethylated based on my own behaviors and family history. When I brought this up to other practitioners they had no idea what I was talking about. I found Sami because of her specialized work dealing with methylation issues. She completed thorough testing based on her questioning and the testing confirmed what she could already tell from our discussions on the phone. I was dealing with not just undermethylation, but also high copper and high pyrroles, as well as a gut infection. Her protocol started with supplements and dietary changes, which I didn’t see take effect for at least a couple of months. The dietary changes were easy to follow as she provided a ton of resources that were polished and easy to follow. She also provided clear explanations of what I was dealing with and how they tied back to my main concerns, which helped make it easy to commit to the protocol. I still have a way to go, but am confident in relying on Sami’s guidance. I will say, all-in-all everything is expensive. Compared to other providers, Sami’s services are a banging deal, but the supplements and grocery bills for quality meats and foods are really expensive. But it’s worth the investment for the longer term outcome. For all of my adult life, I’ve feared that I would inherit the worst traits of my parents and have at times found that coming true – emotional outbursts, irritability, disregulated moods. I’ve been afraid of getting into long-term relationships because of how I might damage them. Now I know that this can be corrected and managed. I am already seeing changes in how I handle stress and am not reacting in ways that have hurt relationships in the past among friends, coworkers, and romantic relationships. And I feel confident that I will live a happier and more fulfilled life because of this.”
