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 women having a hysterectomy a few years after diagnosis depending on severity. While surgery to remove endometriomas was a must for me, I was weighing my options against taking the hormones (much to the dismay of my western medicine physicians). It was then that Sami G saved me- one week before surgery and the decision to send my 33 year old body into menopause. Her knowledge in the areas of health, specifically nutrition, was my life saver. She more than encouraged me to listen to my body and stay strong in my decision to take a natural path. Her history with women and hormones gave me the hope I needed to stay on course. Sami G spent time going over the nutritional changes I needed to make in order to heal optimally from the surgery and to help cure my disease. We went over recipes for bone broths and juicing, and we talked about meditation and exercise. She really gave me a PLAN, something I was seeking for so long! She checked in on me after surgery and continues to be a great guiding light. I will be forever grateful for her service and will keep her at the top of my list for 'go to professionals' when it comes to anything related to my health. THANK YOU SAMI G!!! read more

Update: Your lab results are locked behind a portal in which your account can be revoked at any time. I have requested numerous times access to my lab results (weeks ago) and been completely ignored. This is incredibly unprofessional and, I believe, warrants a lowering of my rating. Further, I received correspondence requesting that I remove this review for a partial refund. I declined this offer. I have checked my spam folder as well as my inbox. None of my lab results have been sent as requested not do I see any response at all to my multiple inquiries, the last of which was March 14th. I have attached the confirmation from the practice that shows the email was received. I have also attached the email from April in question that merely stated my results will be in the portal (Which my access to has been revoked.) read more

See all

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 particuler has has severe health problems for 29 years, after my son was born to be exact. We have spend 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's didn't push and was really good and 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 Kim's 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. She 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. Thank you Sami. PS: After 10 years of having hot flashes every 30 minutes. She is now down to 3 every 24 hours and those are going away also!! read more

I did Sami's detox and ... oh my word it worked! I actually felt abs... but from the inside of my stomach, it was glorious! ABS!!! Also, I suppose I could say I felt better and had more energy :). But also: ABS!! She's so smart, thoughtful and science-based. If you are wondering about working with her, don't wonder. Hire her immediately!!! read more

Get off the meds and look into how eating right and living a healthy lifestyle works!

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 diet and lifestyle. One thing I love about Samantha is how well she manages her clients. I'm never confused about what to do next. I have an easy time keeping track of my supplements, foods, and appointments thanks to her careful organization and excellent system. Thank you Samantha! read more

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. read more

Samantha is the most knowledgeable nutritionist I've worked with and has unique knowledge in the area of copper disorders and methylation. Her advice has helped me immensely in dealing with fibromyalgia and treatment-resistant depression. read more

Samantha is the worst practicioner I have ever met. We were working together for 6 months, and then suddenly just over night "she felt she cannot support me anymore". Now I realized 2 other people she she also just cut off without any explanation. Obviously if someone needs more time to deal with she just cut him off. So, you will invest a lot of money and then in the middle of the treatment she can run away. There is also another very bad things around her advices but this run away is disaster. Shame on you Samantha. read more

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 surprise, I was able to give up sugar. Sugar = my life long friend. I'm kind of amazed. Sami was incredibly supportive through out the cleanse. Every question I had was answered, and I felt like I had a private coach all my own! If you are wondering, don't waste any time! She's an incredible technician (can answer any random question) and her stuff does work. It is kind of magical, and I kind of can't believe how healthy I'm eating (and that it stuck!). :) read more

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 to face. read more

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 and patiently answered all my questions about why I should take certain supplements and add in or avoid certain foods. Sami is incredibly knowledgeable about functional nutrition but more importantly, she has a nurturing and patient spirit. That is what makes working with Sami a true gift. With Sami's help, I am on the road to healing my digestive issues that I had struggled with for all of my adult life. I am so grateful to Sami for helping me get my energy and my life back! read more

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 is unbelievable!! read more
