I'm a Nutritional Therapy Counselor, Hope Communicator and Life Guide specializing in a functional, nutrient-based approach to healing the brain and body. I strongly believe that no matter how complex your case or how much work you've put into your healing journey, that healing is always possible. I created Eat for Life because I truly didn't believe I would ever overcome my own pain and suffering.
Nutritional coaching, diet and nutrition therapy, and healthy eating for Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Eating Disorders, ADD & ADHD, and Autism. I blame influencer marketing and Dr. Google for this. They claim to have the answers to all our health problems, yet few people get well from their guidance.
Nutritional coaching, diet and nutrition therapy, and healthy eating for Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Eating Disorders, ADD & ADHD, and Autism. If you're an exhausted parent trying to understand why your child is struggling, you are not alone. My 14 year old daughter is hyper obsessed with food and her body to the point of starving herself and will only eat 12 foods.
You matter and healing is always possible. Because I know what it feels like to struggle with depression, anxiety, and disordered eating, I feel it's only right to offer you a free, no-obligation strategy session so you can get to know me and my healing process, and for me to listen to your story with an open heart to see if I can truly help you.
Payment is due before your first consultation. I accept check, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, and PayPal. Labs are invoiced after your initial consultation and nutrient orders after your protocol is completed. I work in three and six-month increments. Nutrient therapy uses therapeutic dosages to penetrate the nucleus of the cell so real change and deeper healing can occur.

I came to the Eat for Life practice facing significant health challenges.
My testing came back out of whack and I was placed on many supplements.
After a while I started to notice my hair falling out and I felt even more lethargic than I did before.
I spoke with Sami about these concerns and she assured me that this was part of the process. I trusted that until I went for my annual physical and got blood work showing elevated liver enzymes.
Checked for fatty liver disease with an ultrasound and it wasn't that. I spoke with Sami and she again assured me that this was normal and to be expected

Samantha really knows her stuff. She is highly educated and very motivated to help you. Since I started with her, my health and mental clarity have improved at a steady pace. My GI issues are gone, and I am managing my bipolar symptoms better than ever. It's a crime that her services are not covered by insurance. She has done far more for me than my traditional doctors (excluding my excellent psychiatrist) and at a fraction of the cost. Her program is not easy, and it's not based on fluff science. It's the real deal, and you have to commit to a new (and better) way of managing your

Samantha is a true gem. I've worked with countless naturopaths and practitioners, who have all skimmed over my underlying issues. Samantha is different. She is extremely thorough in her findings and really looks at root causes of issues. She is also warm and caring. And she can relate to what her clients are going through, which is really comforting. I especially appreciate that she knows about methylation and pyroluria
as many practitioners do not. I couldn't be more pleased with Samantha and am looking forward to working with her on my healing journey.

My daughter, Cristina, was diagnosed by Dr Mensah to have high copper, be an overmethylator, have low vitamin D and low histamine. Since she started her supplements and changed her diet, she is a new person. This is how I describe her, "The girl that was trapped inside finally came out." This whole process reminds me of the movie "Awakening." She is able to focus, multitask and is a totally different person, in a great way. We are so excited to work with Samantha Gilbert to better her progress! Between working with the doctors at BrainShape and with Samantha Gilbert the future

Sami's Detox really works!
As a life-time bad eater (I love nachos), I really wanted something that wasn't crazy, but instead reasonable (i.e. short) that had results. I wanted to feel better and lose some of the muffin top.
Sami definitely delivered.
The program was easy to follow and completely holistic (not just about food), it didn't feel long, and the recipes were amazing! I actually felt my stomach muscles from the inside. YAY!
I highly recommend Sami. Life is much better when you FEEL great, it impacts your life, your business, and your mood. And, in kind of a shocking

Sami G came to my rescue when I was at my wits end both emotionally and physically. I was sick with no light at the end of the tunnel. It had been 6 months of agony and meetings with a nurse practitioner, two ER doctors and finally an obgyn before I was diagnosed correctly with endometriosis. The diagnosis however, did not help me find a cure, it only added more questions. I took to searching the internet, talking to specialists and browsing medical journals only to find out that most "cures" required heavy doses of hormones and surgery. These "cures" also ended with most

Sami is a rock star when it comes to functional nutrition. I started working with her because I had some underlying digestive issues and an autoimmune condition (Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) that was beginning to impact my energy levels and my life. I'm a health coach and I know a lot about nutrition but Sami helped me dig deeper and get a clearer understanding of what I needed to do to heal my body.
Sami helped me determine what lab tests to order and reviewed them with me. She made it easy to understand so I knew exactly what was happening in my body. Sami provided me with a clear protocol

Ever since I met Samantha I look and feel better than I have in years. I did her 90 day program and much of what I learned has changed what I eat and crave. Sami G gave me several meal plans and coached me through shopping and eating out. I'm 40 years old and had never really learned to cook. My 14 year old son and I ate out nearly all our meals. We now eat at home more than ever and my son totally loves everything I cook. I'm so happy that she showed me so many delicious foods that still helped me lose excess weight. We did all this while living across the country and never meeting face
