Eat for Life

22

In today’s fast-paced world, it is easy to set aside self-care. With long daily to-do lists, many people disregard things that make them miserable. They go on with their lives despite feeling exhausted, sick, or downright depressed. Some can't even afford to stop to take a short breath. As a result, their bodies fail them, and they struggle to understand their ultimate purpose in life. Find the much-needed pause to reinvigorate yourself, right here on the Eat For Life Podcast. This show features free, learn-on-the-go content that can reveal the root causes of your suffering. Connect your physical, emotional, and spiritual health to find your very own path to healing. Tune in to bi-monthly discussions about the next best steps for a fruitful healing process.

Learn how to address your illness, heal from childhood trauma, release negative energy, and experience monumental life change. Listen to conversations that acknowledge your pain and fears, giving you a chance to grow. If you are tired of hearing unhelpful medical findings, signing up for overpriced programs with no actual benefit, or getting unreliable advice from Google, this podcast can help. Dive deep into complex subjects such as neuroscience, epigenetics, functional and micromolecular medicine, trauma and abuse, as well as spirituality and faith. Find out how to apply them to your everyday life and unlock a better version of yourself.

Most importantly, feel inspired by stories of individuals from all walks of life who overcame their most complicated and enduring obstacles. Host of the podcast is Samantha Gilbert (Sami), a Nutritional Therapy Counselor and Hope Communicator. She specializes in a functional, nutrient-based approach to healing the brain and body using compassionate approaches based on biochemical individuality. In addition to sharing expert advice, she is a living testament to the amazing power of nutrition therapy for those feeling drained of hopes and dreams. Sami had a painful relationship with food caused by biochemical imbalances running in her family. Due to the emotional burden of her childhood trauma, sometimes she ate compulsively, and other times deprived herself of food altogether. Sami also struggled with suicidal ideation, suffered from chronic fatigue, and regularly battled depression, anxiety, and panic attacks. For so long, she felt broken and alone. Trying to fix herself, Sami spent over $100,000 on different practitioners, counselors, and therapists. She tried a myriad of therapies including affirmations, visions quests, and meditation, as well as Prozac, Zoloft, and herbal remedies, that for the most part, made her feel worse. Eventually, Sami found the healing she needed by going back to school to study functional medicine and nutrition therapy. By becoming an expert in these fields, she discovered the best diets for anxiety and depression, the ideal nutrition for mental health, and how food and nutrients balance hormones. Sami’s physical and mental worlds now align as she Eats for Life and turns pain into purpose. This podcast is a bridge to forge empathetic connections and deliver healing advice to people going through a hurtful time. Your health is a puzzle and your unique story matters. Join Sami in putting the pieces back together and getting rid of everything that stops you from the life you are meant to live. You have the right to a healthy relationship with food and your body. Become confident about your passions and unafraid of other people’s opinions. Listen to Eat for Life at http://eatfor.life/podcast/.

    Really eye opening
    Makes you really think about what we are putting in and on our bodies, and what is just marketed for our fast pace life.

  • Kity36
    Love this podcast
    I get so excited when I see a notification that Sami has a new episode. I know I’m going to learn great information about health and nutrition from Sami and her guests. Sami herself is very knowledgeable in nutrient therapy and health.
  • Kent Misegades
    Informative
    We’ve always suspected that the food industry is not primarily interested in selling us truly healthy food. Profit is important in any business, but ethics equally so. Ms. Gilbert and her show guests are providing us with a great education on the topic of nutrition. We especially appreciate her inclusion of faith as a powerful healer!

    EP 66: Corruption in Food Labeling
    I wanted to cry when I listened to Dr. Sina McCullough’s story. I could relate from a personal level in searching for answers with western medicine doctors and becoming more unhealthy. I immediately bought her book and am looking forward to understanding at a researchers level the food supply issues. Thank you both for caring to share your knowledge and experience.

    A Can’t Miss
    Sami Gilbert brings us extraordinary experts discussing the most timely and important health related topics. While her interview style is conversational and engaging, the wisdom and knowledge she shares inspires her listeners to become the masters of their healing. I was honored to experience this as a guest and I remain an ardent fan.
  • Gumbolily
    I like!
    I first found your podcast when looking for an interview with Sally Norton. Great interview! Since then I have listened to a few others and I really appreciate your style of interviewing guests. You actually let them speak. You’ve got a meat eater and beef rancher listening.
  • Matt Maraldo
    Cured me and then some
    Sammi is on the forefront of a “new” and more advanced form of healthcare. We are all individuals and deserve an individual action plan to obtain optimal health based on real science and expertise. Sammi taught me how to promote real healing in my body through diet, nutrition, and movement. I was diagnosed with bi-polar 2 disorder and told to take meds for the rest of my life. These meds left me with many unwanted side effects. Now, I am off my meds and doing better than ever. I actually didn’t have a disorder, just a body that needed to heal. If you have the inclination and the opportunity to work with Sammi, I highly recommend it. She is truly something special.
  • Kcandson
    Best podcast I listen to
    Sammy has so much to offer and is so good at teaching. Her topics are very intriguing and informative. She has insight, empathy and experience. Her ability to help people heal is a godsend for my family. Some podcast I listen to have a tendency to interrupt there guests. Not Sammy. Her habit of asking the right questions and giving her guest time to answer is great. Alternative Health is a constantly changing field. I love the fact that she brings professional onto her podcast that a are in fields that overlap with hers and to be able to listen in as two professionals have a informative but understandable conversation is really great. Thanks Sammy keep it up.
  • christineac
    Inspiring
    I’m only on my second episode but I am already so tied up in each point that she or he guests make. They are so raw and on point with how many of us are feeling. I have truthfully been inspired and I hope that you continue to help bridge the gap for those of us who are struggling to find peace. Bless you.
  • Kammmmmp
    Thank you!
    Thank you for being so brave to share your pain, I live with so much shame and I’ve blamed myself for the things that happened to me. I relate so much to your words. For the first time maybe ever, I feel like I can stop blocking the trama and start to process it. Thank you.
  • Codexleicester
    Phenomenal
    I do not have enough praise for Sami and the podcast. The discussions regarding trauma and the work involved mirror so much of my own experience. Truly insightful, helpful and courageous. Highly, highly recommend.
  • Deedee tee
    Food is medicine
    Sami teaches me that food can be fuel that heals or hurts. This content is so powerful in our days of disease and disinformation. Give a listen and as she says eat for life!
  • Christie Mims
    Really interesting!
    I’m a fan of Sami and her work, and have looked to her to help me be healthy over the years. I’m so excited she’s doing a podcast and putting this kind of information out into the world. Yay!!
  • Chugotitmayne
    Information is AMAZING!
    Samantha peels back the layers of brain chemistry, nutrition, and individualized approaches in ways that no other podcast or media outlet does in her work! Highly recommend subscribing and listening!
