For over 20 years, I've devoted my life to health and science, learning how to heal myself by cross-training across multiple health disciplines and functional medicine, now using the same principles with my online clients.
My health journey began as a boy (age 6) with my parent’s stressful divorce. I’ve since then overcome a decade-plus of severe insomnia, gut problems, an inflammatory diet, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and my main two addictions (video games and sugar).
I’ve dedicated his life to alleviate physical, biochemical, and emotional suffering and help others reach the highest human potential and creativity.
I’ve crossed-trained extensively, including a doctorate in chiropractic, degrees, and certifications in acupuncture, functional neurology, genetics analysis, and functional medicine.
My vetted techniques and health principles through personal and clinical experience has allowed collaborate with my clients to help them achieve health, wellness, longevity, and high performance goals.
I never got to thank you for helping my wife identify the problems in her liver, it’s because of you that we now have our beautiful baby girl.
Also thank you for pointing my attention towards my video game addiction, I deleted every game off my computer just after the baby was born.
In my opinion you’re one of the most significant medical minds of the 21st century.
I’m deeply grateful for you and your work.

“I decided to share my health issues with Dr. Sam to see if he could help. I had lots of inflammation, insomnia, poor digestion, and blood sugar issues to name a few.
He clearly and concisely explained why certain things were happening. He also had the integrity to let me know that without proper testing, we really couldn’t be sure. It took some time, but eventually, I signed on, got my lab tests, and had my first consultation. His explanations were so easy to understand, I knew why I changed my diet, added the specific supplements, and made every lifestyle change.
