Have you been weight watching since the womb? Are you feeling defeated after a season of weight gain? Are you carrying around an overwhelming sense of guilt or shame over another failed attempt at keeping the weight off? Have you been successful on a diet only to have your lost pounds find their way back to you soon after you go off the diet? I’m here to tell you to lay down the shame, friend – no matter where you’ve been in your health journey and where you’re at… You are fully capable and fully worthy of making LASTING, SUSTAINABLE change. And you can start doing it TO-DAY. My name is Sam. Today, I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified specialist in obesity and weight management. But, at one point in my life, I was nearing 400lbs and completely miserable. As a last-ditch effort, I made one of the best decisions of my life and had gastric bypass surgery. But I learned VERY quickly in the 2nd and 3rd years postop that the surgery was not magic and it was REAL easy for all those lost pounds to find their way back to me. I realized I needed to pull it together or I was going to be right back where I started. I got super interested in the science of nutrition and went back to school to become a dietitian so that I could help people still searching for the answer. I’m going to be honest with you, friends… I’ve been maintaining ~200lbs weight loss for darn near 2 decades now and unfortunately, it doesn’t get any “easier” per say. But I can promise you it doesn’t need to be complicated. I’ve learned invaluable lessons both as a dietitian and in my own personal weight loss/maintenance journey, and my mission is to share it all – with you! I truly believe with every fiber of my being that God created me to walk this road so I can help others find their way through. My mission is to give you the simple, realistic steps to lay the foundation of lifelong health and wellness so you can live your best life and enjoy the food you eat. Because I KNOW you do not want to start another diet trend that makes you hangry and is only going to bring you disappointment and frustration. I know you want to get that extra weight off and finally fit back into that pair of pants hidden deep in the back of your closet since before Y2K, but I also know that deep down you just want to live free from the constant weight roller coaster and FEEL GOOD. If you’re ready to stop feeling defeated and start feeling like your best self, you’re in the right place! Now pull up a chair and let’s go!

I'm so glad you're here!
In this episode of More Than a Number, we dig into one of the most powerful mindset shifts for lasting weight loss: identity-based habits. Instead of seeing ourselves as someone who’s trying to be healthy, we step into the truth that we are healthy people who show up for ourselves daily.

Hey Friends!
In this episode, we dive into one of the most important truths about health: motivation won’t get you where you want to go—consistency will.
I share some personal stories (yes, even about eyelashes and unfinished books!) to show why waiting to “feel motivated” keeps us stuck in cycles of starting over. I’ll walk you through why discipline, structure, and small daily habits matter so much more than motivation, and how t...

Do you keep setting a goal to wake up earlier for a better morning routine to fuel your weight loss only to keep starting again on Monday because you can’t seem to make it happen?
Maybe you want to exercise or journal, meditate, eat breakfast, pack your lunch, whatever… But you just can’t seem to get out of the habit of hitting snooze for 2 hours and then rushing to get out the door without completing any of those goals.
In this ...
Did you feel finally SEEN the first time you heard the term “food noise?”
Are you shocked to learn that constantly thinking about food is not “normal?”
You are not alone, my friend. If you’re anything like me and have struggled with excess weight for years, you likely also struggle with that constant war in your brain over food.
Should I be eating this? I shouldn’t have eaten that. Why don’t I have the will power to stop eating?...

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
