Samantha Wendt: From Sugar Addiction Graveyard to Faith-Filled Life

Meet Samantha Wendt, a Minnesota native who, like many of us, grappled with the burdens of obesity, weighing in at 240 pounds. Western Medicine dismissed her concerns, attributing her ailments to a vivid imagination. But Samantha knew better; she felt drained, couldn't navigate a flight of stairs without struggle, grappled with depression, and faced deteriorating health. Her dream of becoming a mother remained unfulfilled.

One day, she decided to seek help from a naturopathic doctor. This marked the beginning of her transformative journey. Samantha reclaimed her health, experienced back-to-back pregnancies, but the hustle of motherhood eventually derailed her wellness path.

In January 2016, Samantha and her eldest child endured a life-altering motor vehicle accident, revealing the limitations of Western Medicine. She lived undiagnosed with a concussion for eight agonizing months, now wrestling with Chronic Post Concussion Syndrome. By March 2017, Celiac disease and food allergies entered her life. Her research led her to discover that her children also had food allergies. The Wendt household bid farewell to gluten, dairy, corn, soy, peanuts, almonds, and eggs. And if that wasn't enough, Samantha later discovered she'd unknowingly lived with a broken hand for 21 months, requiring a nearly four-hour surgical fix.

Fast forward to April 2020 when their naturopathic doctor's passing plunged Samantha into a mission to serve her family and community. On September 28, 2020, she embarked on a journey to become a Certified Master Herbalist through Trinity School of Natural Health. By January 31, 2021, five years after the accident, Samantha completed her schooling and was awarded her Certificate as a Certified Master Herbalist.

On March 21, 2021, she opened the Empowered by Nature Wellness Center, a virtual hub serving clients across the USA and Canada. But Samantha's pursuit of knowledge continued; she delved into becoming a Certified ZYTO Specialist, concluding her training on March 28th, 2021, and swiftly earning her certificate.

In October 2021, Samantha became a SHAPE ReClaimed Practitioner. Not content with just transforming her life, she's pioneering a wellness movement in South Central MN to quell inflammation, detox toxins, boost the immune system, and manage weight.

But that's not the end of her journey. Her passion for helping others led her to explore facial analysis, and by March 2022, she was a Certified American Red Cross Lifeguard. She's proof that a Western medicine diagnosis doesn't define who you are.

In January 2023, Samantha became a Certified Facial Analysis Master, able to read people's faces to understand their wellness and personality.

When Samantha isn't busy restoring others' voices for wellness, she cherishes the outdoors, her creative side, quality family time, and advocacy work for individuals with food allergies, homeopathy, and Traumatic Brain Injuries, particularly Chronic Post-Concussion Syndrome. Samantha continues to raise her voice and speak out against societal views as a speaker. She enjoys swimming, hones her intuitive abilities, and more. At the heart of all she does is her faith in God.
