About me
I am a Certified Nutritional Therapist
I pride myself on having an abundance of high energy and a love for the great outdoors. I grew up in South Africa, where the outdoor lifestyle instills a love of connecting with nature and being active every day. My interest in the human body began in childhood. My Grandad grew all of his own vegetables, we never ate fast food and I quickly learned how to appreciate real food. It was these experiences that have given me a holistic outlook on body health. We are a combination of what we feed our bodies and then how we use our bodies in daily life.
Hi, I'm Sam.
Your New Biohacking Coach.
I pride myself on having an abundance of high energy and a love for the great outdoors. I grew up in South Africa, where the outdoor lifestyle instills a love of connecting with nature and being active every day. My interest in the human body began in childhood. My Grandad grew all of his own vegetables, we never ate fast food and I quickly learned how to appreciate real food. It was these experiences that have given me a holistic outlook on body health. We are a combination of what we feed our bodies and then how we use our bodies in daily life.
My story
In 2018, I developed alopecia. Another autoimmune disorder, just like the vitiligo. This time, my immune system attacked my own hair follicles and caused a lot of my lovely long blonde hair to fall out. As you can imagine, this was devastating for me and it forced me to do a total body overhaul and reassess my life. It was then that I began training as a nutritional therapist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine.
In the last three years, I have discovered so much. It’s been an eye-opening experience which has levelled up my life and given me the tools I needed to become a better version of myself. I now know how the body functions at a cellular level, and how our lifestyle, food and environment affects us, the whole picture rather than one isolated thing.
My hair has fully grown back now, and I choose to feel grateful for the experience that gave me and the push I needed to become who I am today.
My body was sending me a message!
My training has taken me to Los Angeles, Thailand and India. I’m appearing at retreats across the world and this is broadening my outlook and allowing me to integrate into different branches of knowledge and medicine. I feel amazing knowing that I have ‘biohacked’ every part of myself to reprogram my whole body back to wellness.
I now manage my alopecia and no longer have an underactive thyroid. I still have the remnants of vitiligo but it serves to remind me that we are all a work in progress. I want to help you navigate your own wellbeing and hack into what works for you.
We are all human but we are all individuals. Unique. Our journeys are never the same, and what works for one person may not be right for you. There is no one-size-fits-all and I want to embrace that and discover what is going on for you, so that YOU can be the best version of yourself too. I am passionate about helping people onto the right path and giving them the tools that they need to maintain optimum body health. Let’s discover a plan that is especially for you.
