I’m excited to introduce you to Dr. Sam Shay. Sam’s personal health journey began at a young age, facing chronic unwellness from severe fatigue, anxiety, digestive problems, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, and poor nutrition.
He took control of his health as a teenager, dedicating his life to natural medicine. Today, Sam is known as the friendly "lab nerd," specializing in functional lab and genetic analysis to deliver data-driven results.
Sam is a dedicated chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner who specializes in solving health puzzles for busy, health-conscious parents, entrepreneurs, and adults on the spectrum. Sam’s mission is to help individuals exit survival mode and re-enter community life with increased resilience and energy, utilizing the power of functional genetics.
In our conversation, you'll hear about:
- His health struggles and the pivotal moments that led him to alternative and functional medicine.
- His journey from being chronically unwell to becoming a health practitioner.
- How he used functional genetics to address his own health challenges, including severe inflammation, dietary issues, and genetic predispositions.
- How genetics influence health, but are not the only influence.
- How higher-order genetic drivers, like genes regulating inflammation, free radical scavenging, liver detox capacity, and vitamin D utilization, have a more significant influence on overall health than and do the genes for breast cancer, Alzheimer’s or other conditions
- Sam’s 10 pillars of health framework, which helps identify and address the root causes of chronic health issues
- And insights into genetic testing and genetic analysis and how it can be used to create personalized health strategies
Sam's story is a powerful testament to the importance of taking personal agency over one's health and the incredible benefits of functional medicine and genetics.
Lastly, Sam is also a stand-up comic who uses comedy as "edutainment" on his Youtube Channel, along with his other functional testing teachings. His primary focus in comedy is to educate the public on what it's like to be on the Spectrum, specifically Aspergers.
No matter the health challenges you face, Sam’s journey is an inspiring reminder that recovery and well-being are within reach.
