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!

I am alive today by the grace of God and his devoted servants Sami and Dr. Mensah. I was bedridden over 2 years severe anxiety, brain scans showed severe PTSD from extreme undermethylation and pyroluria. My family suffered the same repeated patterns for generations. The same terrible ending...hopeless demise. I chose to not take any form of synthetic medication and The Walsh protocol and Sami's diet were to be my last hope. I was 46 yrs old at the time. I'm 7 years into the nutrient protocol, back on my feet, healthier than I've ever been and back in the cockpit as a professional pilot and still zero synthetic drugs of any sort other than the occasional aspirin. Lifelong Anxiety is g-o-n-e! Thanks be to Jesus Christ and people who genuinely care , as dear Sami certainly does. She is genuinely devoted to the healing of the whole person instead of prescribing mere "band-aids" that are terribly addictive and only mask a few symptoms at best. A debt of gratitude to Sami and Team Mensah for breaking a terrible series of generational curses in my family.

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!

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).

I have been struggling with inflammation throughout my entire body for the majority of my life. Sami has shown me that this is not the way that things have to be and I am so grateful for that. My anxiety levels have decreased tenfold and I am able to enjoy everyday life so much more. I still have progress to make but I look forward to continuing on this journey!

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.

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 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.

Samantha is an absolute game-changer! After years of grappling with PCOS and trying various approaches, her tailored program finally brought tangible results. Her expertise, personalized tests, and dedicated approach transformed not just how I felt but also addressed underlying issues. Samantha is a true godsend for anyone navigating complex health challenges. Samantha's brilliance extends beyond nutrition—her smart, gracious, and supportive approach on a human level is unparalleled. She listens attentively, delving into your concerns, and then seamlessly backs her advice with meticulous data and research. Her ability to blend empathy with evidence makes the journey not just effective but also empowering. She's not just a nutritionist; she's a guide, armed with knowledge and kindness.

Sami has been an amazing help to my health journey. I learned a lot about diet/ nutrition and what foods I should avoid. Sami listens and is very patient and caring. The tools she has given me are invaluable and I can carry with me into the future to continue bettering my health. I tried for years to figure out what was wrong with me on my own and I wish I could go back in time and hire her years ago.

Sami G is a wealth of knowledge! I thank God I found her when I did. I was experiencing panic attacks, depression, and severe anxiety. After lab testing, we discovered high levels of inflammation (histamine and homocysteine levels) indicating undermethylation. Sami G was so patient and kind during every appointment. This new information was very overwhelming at first and it was hard to process, but Sami stayed with me every step of the way encouraging me to go at the pace I could handle. So very grateful to work with a practitioner that listens! After 4 weeks of dietary changes and recommended supplements, I saw significant improvement in my symptoms. After several months my inflammation markers were no longer elevated! I couldn't believe it! I am so grateful for finding Sami and highly recommend her as a practitioner.

I was encumbered by several health issues. I sought out Sammy Gilbert to find some health solutions. In my evaluation, Sammy pointed out that my daily habit of smoking marijuana was a major contributor to my health problems. Even though I knew that daily smoking was not the best for me, I was unaware of all of the toxins I was exposing my body to. She educated me on the side effects and Subtle effects that marijuana was having on my physical being. Through gentle guidance and our therapeutic talks, she helped me curb the desire to indulge every day. Consequently, my health, brain function, and physical energy dramatically improved. I am so grateful to Sammy for this change and am certain that I would’ve not been able to do it without her guidance and support. If you are struggling with this addiction, and are willing to make a change, Sammy Gilbert is a wonderful resource to help you along this path of healing. With gratitude Sammy. V.

Thanks V! I'm so proud of you! The negative mental health impacts that marijuana have on the brain (including CBD products) are not widely known so I'm glad we were able to get resolution for you. Keep up the great work!

Samantha is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Best of all, she gets results and she listens to your concerns. I spent over four years working with multiple naturopathic doctors who couldn't help me the way that Samantha has in less than a year. My anxiety, irritability, and mood swings have decreased substantially because of Samantha's protocols. Samantha is way more than a functional nutritionist. If she treats any of the conditions that you may be experiencing, I suggest contacting her immediately.

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.

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.

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!
