Testimonials from Happy (and Healthy) Clients
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!
verified customer
I’ve only been working with Sami about 6 weeks to improve the health of my gut. We haven’t even started the process to eliminate bacterial overgrowth as we are just getting my gut more functional.
Surprisingly I have noticed to elimination of menopausal hot flashes, better sleep, more energy, and interestingly several years ago I started to have foot discomfort when I first got of bed in the morning. This has substantially diminished and I hopeful it will go away completely.
I feel really good about the investment I’m making in my health. Sami’s scope of knowledge about the gut is tremendous.
