I was blown away by today’s guest in his ability to educate on complex mechanisms of actions, as well as his innovation and humility. We touched on so many topics that I had to split this episode in two parts! It was truly reassuring and empowering to learn about healing with natural, science-backed tools to reduce inflammation, the hidden root cause of aging, chronic disease, and cancer.
In these two episodes, you will learn how inflammation impacts health at a cellular level and how you can take proactive steps to restore vitality, strengthen immunity, and age with resilience.
Samuel Shepherd is an award winning physicist, inventor, and engineer with 42 patents and over 50 years of breakthroughs across biochemical, environmental, and medical engineering. His career has taken him from developing technologies for NASA and the Beijing Olympics to pioneering solutions in alternative energy and environmental remediation. But it was a deeply personal health challenge that led him to his most life-changing discovery.
In 2003, Samuel was diagnosed with a rare, untreatable bone marrow cancer. Conventional medicine offered no viable path forward, so he turned to his lifelong expertise in science and innovation. After years of research, he developed ValAsta, the only patented glycosidic form of astaxanthin designed specifically to target inflammation, the root cause of most chronic disease. His unique delivery system makes astaxanthin far more bioavailable than typical supplements, producing remarkable results for energy, mobility, sleep, and overall vitality in both people and pets.
Today, Samuel is on a mission to educate others about how inflammation accelerates disease and diminishes quality of life, and how targeted natural solutions can restore health. Beyond his formidable credentials, his personal story of overcoming terminal illness fuels his passion for helping others age with strength, energy, and resilience.
