Sam Benavides

In the realm of weight loss literature, Sam Benavides emerges as an absolute inspiration, offering profound insights and guidance for anyone who has ever been on a diet. Through his inaugural book, "Six Things Absent from Unsuccessful Weight Loss Programs: Discovering God's Secrets to Healthy, Long-Term, and Sustainable Weight Loss," he introduces a distinctive perspective on losing weight the healthy way. Sam’s journey into the world of wellness began in his formative years that included living five years in Colombia, South America, where the “Standard American Diet” was an alien idea. Raised in a strong Christian home environment that prioritized a vegetarian lifestyle, he developed a deep connection between his spirituality and physical health. At the beginning of Sam’s professional pursuits, the near-death experience of his younger brother signaled the transformative period in his life. For the 10 years following this event, Sam experienced a spiritual awakening that illuminated the importance of faith in the pursuit of wholistic healing. Then, in 2010 Sam left his architectural profession and, alongside his wife Ashleigh, started a fitness & health-coaching business that included facilitating the world-renown disease prevention program known as the Complete Health Improvement Program in Loma Linda, CA. Sam's book is the culmination of nearly 20 years of personal exploration and professional study into the world of fitness and wellness. Drawing upon this extensive research, he unveils six essential elements lacking in unsuccessful weight loss programs, while simultaneously revealing the weight loss secrets found in God’s law of health. With "Six Things Absent from Unsuccessful Weight Loss Programs," Sam aims to inspire others to make the permanent lifestyle change that only comes from acceptance of, and belief in the transformative power of faith in God’s law of health in achieving lasting wellness and long-term weight loss.
