Meet Our Founder

Dr. Samantha, PhD in Biochemistry

Our Core Beliefs

The principles and practices that guide everything we do are rooted in the fundamental sciences of nutrition, digestion, nutrient deficiencies, and the body's detoxification processes. We focus on how these areas work together to support the body’s natural balance and overall health, optimizing nutrient absorption and detoxification for improved well-being.

Guiding Principles of Our Methods

A carefully formulated combination of diet, detox, and targeted nutrients to support your body’s natural processes, enhance vitality, and promote long-term wellness.
Diet

"One person's food is another person's poison."

Over 350 common foods and drinks such as grains, gluten, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy, seafood, fish meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, alternative dairy, oils, and fats.

Digestion

"Every disease starts in the gut."

We believe that digestion should be optimal if we want to live an optimal life. Restroom issues, digestive symptoms and fatigue are physical symptoms, representing an imbalanced and inflamed gut. Paying attention to these symptoms and identifying the route cause can help pave the path to a healthier digestive system, resulting in an optimal life.

Deficit

"An unhealthy state is a tragedy of nutrition."

Regardless of a healthy diet or exercise regime, if the body is in a state of vitamin, mineral, or fatty acid deficit, it can struggle to perform the thousands of chemical and hormonal processes it needs to perform daily. Intracellular deficits are largely different to blood deficits - we believe it's essential to address both. We make intracellular deficit testing easy and possible through the usage of our biotechnology testing.

Detox

"The cells need to be free of toxins so they can vibrate in harmony."

Over 350 common foods and drinks such as grains, gluten, legumes, seeds, nuts, dairy, seafood, fish meats, eggs, vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, alternative dairy, oils, and fats.
