Sami has been a tremendous blessing to my 18-year-old son. She is knowledgeable and listens so well to the individual and then can make recommendations precisely for him. She does not use a one size fits all approach and that is extremely refreshing in the landscape of wellness and healing. I do believe we were headed for even more profound health issues had we not found Sami. We have seen significant improvement in energy, mood, sleep, and digestive issues to name a few. She is gifted in what she does and we are forever grateful!

Samantha is an expert in her field. She is very supportive, a very good listener, and has helped our whole family improve our health and well-being. My 13 year old daughter worked with Samantha for mood support, and we all saw a wonderful improvement. She is disciplined about taking her supplements regularly- because she recognizes the difference in her energy mood and sleep on days she takes them, verses the periods of time when she has forgotten or run out. I highly recommend Samantha.

For the first time in my life, I have more energy after working out, my mind does not race all the time, and I feel in control of my emotions. I spent many lonely years battling depression, unexplained weight gain, and general irritation. I had tried all the diets and eating patterns (juice cleanses, keto, vegetarian, vegan, paleo, Whole 30, intermittent fasting, etc) only to watch my weight go up and up and my mental state get worse and worse. With Sami's help, we uncovered the sources of my issues and solved them in short order. Now I wake up every day feeling like it's a miracle! My husband has even started working with Sami to improve his own long-term health. Eat For Life is a God-send. If you are considering improving your health, don't wait! Contact Sami today; you won't regret it!

Sami has helped me tremendously. She found through one of her tests a stress disorder that I had never heard even mentioned by one of the many doctors I’ve been to through out my life of 61 years. It has explained so many symptoms I’ve had since I was a child. She has also been the most knowledgeable on the subject of my diet and nutrition and I trust her recommendations completely. I have battled with Candida and Lyme infections for years and I am so thankful to have her help and support.

I came across Sami at a very difficult time in my life. I had been battling depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts off and on over the past 20 years, and was now facing my second hospitalization in two years, and treatment with electroconvulsive therapy. It had helped me before but I was terrified of becoming dependent on this type of therapy to even function. I was also on three different medications already. I googled like crazy, I had tried functional medicine before for physical ailments with some success, and just knew in my heart that there had to be something else out there that could help. I tested and sure enough, I was both copper toxic and severely undermethylated. When I first spoke to Sami, everything she said made sense, and I felt seen and listened to. After working with her for the past year and a half, I have now reached a level of stability mentally that I haven't experienced in years! I've taken the supplements, followed the diet she laid out for me and have had monthly follow-ups. I am so relieved that I don't have to rely on ECT treatment for the rest of my life! She has always had an answer to all of my many, many questions. Also, a whole new world of wonderful, tasty food has opened up for me, it's so good to have alternatives to the things I have to stay away from due to my condition, and the recipes provided by Sami have been both delicious and fun to make! She has been warm, understanding and very generous with me when I've struggled along the way. The possibility of email support in between sessions has been vital! I now have hopes for a healthier and more positive future! I highly recommend working with her if you are struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation. She's a gem!

Sami has been instrumental in helping me heal from debilitating symptoms of IBS, a weakened immune system, insomnia, and life-long anxiety. The protocol she provided is manageable and easy to follow. Sami is always quick to respond to my questions, and our monthly check-ins are supportive and inspiring. She has a vast knowledge base and stays up-to-date in her field. I can ask Sami anything, and she has a thoughtful, well-informed response. I trust Sami completely and have highly recommended her to friends and family members.

Sami has been such a tremendous help. I came to her because I suffer with OCD. She has been so understanding, caring and informative. My OCD symptoms have improved so much since starting her protocol and I believe I’m well on my way in being completely symptom free. Her protocol has been absolutely life changing. Sami has listened and helped me more than any doctor or medical professional (who basically just throw prescription drugs at patients).

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 so 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 start to go down.

Sami is an angel of a human being - she completely changed my life for the better! She really knows her stuff and is able to gently guide you toward a much better way of life. The protocol can seem overwhelming at first, but Sami is so wonderful at catering to specific needs and allowing the people she helps to go at their own pace. I highly recommend Sami if you’re looking to live and more balanced, healthy life!

Sami has been absolutely wonderful. She really made a huge difference in the way she approached our problem, and thanks to her, we make healthy nutritional choices for the whole family. She will hold your hand and walk you through the whole process. She has an individualized approach to patient care and is never intimidating-- indeed, she is very caring and nurturing. I highly recommend her, and would not think twice about recommending her to anyone, including friends and family.

I was struggling with severe anxiety, suicidal thoughts and couldn’t handle much stress at all! It was so severe I had to step away from my purpose work and what I absolutely loved to do helping others. I decided to take a year sabbatical to seek healing and direction for my life! I had gone to doctor after doctor seeking help with no success. I honestly didn’t know If I was going to make it back, I was losing any hope that I would ever get better. I was at my ropes end when I came across Dr Walsh book Nutrient power which led me to Samantha’s Gilberts website (Eat for Life) when I read her powerful testimony of her personal journey and healing it was so encouraging and it gave me a glimpse of hope! I reached out to eat for life and set up a consultation. Samantha was very patient with me and so compassionate. I was very impressed with her wisdom and her guidance. Her program is very organized and simple to follow. I was amazed at the detailed protocol she set up and the recommended nutrients for my personal biochemistry! She was always available by email when I got stuck. I am still on my journey to getting my complete healing, but I am feeling so much better, I now have hope again. I am now able to handle more stress and participate in my daily activities. I am also, beginning to return back to my purpose and work in helping others. I highly recommend Samantha Gilbert and (eat for life).

Working with Sami has resulted in a huge improvement in my health. I had struggled with anxiety for many years and started having OCD symptoms during the pandemic. I learned through Sami that nutrition has a major impact on your mental health. After applying her protocol, my anxiety level has significantly decreased and I rarely have OCD symptoms now. I highly recommend her!

I started working with Sami about 3 months ago and to say it has been life-changing is a complete understatement! Sami takes the time to listen to all your issues and concerns without any judgment. She put me on a supplement regimen specifically for my body and I could tell a difference within a couple of weeks and I feel better than ever. I have my energy back and feel healthier overall. I encourage anyone who wants to feel their best to give Sami a call, you won't be disappointed!

I was introduced to Sami and Eat for Life through an orthomolecular specialist who was helping me with biochemical imbalances. In addition to her extensive knowledge about using foods and supplements to balance the body’s biochemistry, Sami also was very helpful in diagnosing and treating my intestinal issues. Comprehensive, caring and personable, Sami is truly interested in her client’s health and well-being. Her collaborative and professional approach taught me that that food is indeed medicine and is an important tool in my overall health. I look forward to working with Sami as I continue on my healing journey.

Sami's careful guidance on nutrients has been life changing for my teenager who has a history of PANDAS and PDA presentation of autism. Conventional mental health practitioners could easily have provided (mis)diagnoses of ODD, bipolar, personality disorder and at times even schizophrenia. Within the first month we noted positive changes in the following areas: sleep, mood stability, sense of humor, anxiety, self control, executive function, attention span, patience and more. All of this means kiddo is more comfortable in their skin, day to day stressors considerably eased, and life suddenly feeling not-so-hard as before. We are so grateful for Sami's recommendations and feel optimistic about how these changes will positively impact our kid's future.

When the words “I can’t live like this anymore” were uttered from my lips I was back on my quest for an answer to my lack of good health and well-being. It was then I contacted Samantha Gilbert (Sami) in what seemed like a last-ditch effort on a never-ending quest to help me solve why I’ve had chronic fatigue and insomnia for the past 20-30 years. Twelve doctors in that time frame not to mention practitioners from Korea, Japan, China and India tried to help with no real success and no hope. There was the highly recommended doctor that told me to deal with my hypochondria who didn’t get paid but I digress. Besides the fatigue and insomnia. I had psoriasis, dry and flaking skin, allergies, swollen sinuses and a severely swollen gummy throat, wounds wouldn’t heal on my skin, my eyelids were glued together when waking up, and I was very lethargic and would fall asleep after eating. I was always irritable beyond belief from lack of sleep and aching fatigue, often I couldn’t even get out of bed. It took one minute of listing my ailments to Sami for her accurate diagnosis. Sami ordered labs and her original analysis was correct, the lab work showed extremely elevated bacteria in my gut, yes, I was experiencing a gut infection. Sami gave me the choice of antibiotics or naturally killing the bacteria. I chose natural and it was a complete success. The next easy step was to build good bacteria in the gut. All the protocol was laid out in a simple and organized way to follow. Sami listens and doesn’t rush, she’s caring, compassionate, empathetic and very easy to talk to. It’s very apparent that Sami is very good at what she does and enjoys herself in her work. Sami spent a lot of time helping me to understand the process and answering all of my questions. Not only did the fatigue and insomnia disappear all of the symptoms I had were gut infection-related and are history now, the added perk is I’ve lost inches of weight. I’m grateful for Sami and her vast knowledge and understanding. I’m so grateful to have my life back and living calmly, rested centered and happy, life is beautiful again.

Sami is amazing, so incredibly knowledgeable, and working with her has been life changing! Her targeted, effective support and recommendations, all based on clinical testing results, have improved my energy levels, my mood, my digestion/IBS, and most recently my hormone balance. I’m forever grateful. If you’re struggling with any of the “big 5” as she calls them, or just want support with health and nutrition, please do yourself a favor and look into working with Sami. Thank you Sami!
