A Letter to You: My Journey to Helping You Find Natural Relief For Food Allergies and Intolerances

Hi there : ) I’m Dr. Alexis Sams, and if you’re reading this, it means you’re ready to take control of your health and find answers about your food reactions. I want to share a little about who I am, how I got here, and why helping you is my life’s work.

Let’s start at the beginning. I’ve always been fascinated by how the human body works. Growing up as a dancer, I experienced my share of injuries and challenges, which led me to pursue a career in physical therapy. I eventually opened my own clinic, focused on helping dancers rehab and prevent injuries—a way of giving back to the community that shaped me.

Then came the COVID pandemic. Dance was considered “non-essential,” and my clinic took a big hit. But during that time, my functional medicine background came into focus. My clients began asking for help with immune health and illness prevention. I started developing supplement regimens, and as time went on, more people came to me for help with weaning off prescription medications, resolving chronic symptoms, and finding natural solutions for their health challenges.



That’s how I met Ronda. Ronda was one of my first clients to report something unexpected—our work together didn’t just help her overall health; it also completely resolved her food reactions. This got me curious. I started digging into the research and discovered that 20 million people in the U.S. alone struggle with food allergies and intolerances. I knew I was onto something that could make a real difference.

Through those early successes and more clients like Ronda, I reworked my functional medicine treatment program and created the FoodClues™ Approach—a way to identify the root causes of food reactions and resolve them for good. Unlike traditional methods that focus on simply avoiding food triggers, my philosophy sees every food you avoid as a clue to your health. Your reactions are symptoms—not the real diagnosis.

I know how it feels to live with unexplained symptoms. I’ve struggled with digestive issues, skin problems, and chronic infections myself, only to be dismissed by traditional providers. My clients often share the same experience—being told their symptoms don’t matter or that their only solution is to avoid certain foods forever. That’s not good enough for me, and it’s not good enough for you. I now realize that many of my symptoms were actually mild anaphylactic food reactions, but it was never presented to me as such, thus the difficulty finding a lasting treatment solution. And after taking myself through my treatment framework, I have no reactions.

My mission is simple: to help you reclaim your life. I want you to experience more freedom—to travel, spend time with loved ones, be the best parent or partner, and live without fear of food reactions holding you back. The FoodClues™ Approach is different because it looks deeper, uncovering the external factors and internal dysfunctions driving your reactions.

I feel blessed to have been given this mission. There are times I feel unqualified or unsure, but I’m reminded of Moses. He doubted himself too, but God used him to accomplish great things. My role is to shine a light on the root causes of your symptoms and give you the tools to heal. Instead of raising a staff, I use my God-given gift of recognizing patterns in symptoms to help you live your best life.

So, what’s next for you? I’d love for you to take the FoodClues™ Quiz as your first step toward solving the mystery of your food reactions. I’m confident it will help you uncover answers you’ve been searching for—and more importantly, the path to food freedom.

I’m here for you every step of the way.

With gratitude,
