We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Dave Samuel a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Dave , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We love heartwarming stories – do you have a heartwarming story from your career to share?
What inspired me to create East River Wellness was In 2016, tragedy struck my family when we lost my brother and uncle within months of each other to Colon Cancer.
It was a devastating time that forced me to confront the fragility of life and the importance of the self healing. It was then is when I discovered herbs & natural ways to heal.
I have always been passionate about herbal health remedies and holistic wellness practices. Now almost a decade later I have started my business helping people recover from chronic illnesses through extensive research and knowledge. Herbalism is what led me to believe that by nurturing our bodies with natural ingredients, we could prevent illness and live vibrant lives.
These experiences inspired me to start Health Consulting and Coach through East River Wellness, which is dedicated to promoting herbal health and holistic wellness which can be the most beneficial and affordable.
Through East River Wellness , I aim to educate people about the benefits of herbal remedies and the importance of caring for their bodies early. I believe that by incorporating these practices into our daily lives, we can not only prevent illness but also live happier, more fulfilling lives.
Every product I create is infused with love and a deep respect for the power of nature. I hope that through my company, I can inspire others to prioritize their health and embrace the healing properties of herbal health.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
Natural healing is often praised for its natural approach to health and wellness. Unlike non-herbal approaches, which sometimes rely heavily on synthetic chemicals, herbal remedies are derived from plants and are perceived as being more gentle and less likely to cause side effects.
Many people prefer herbalism because it aligns with their belief in natural living and sustainability.
Two people that has played an impact are Dr Sebi & Rosemary Gladstar. Both Teachers have broken the science and art of natural Health.
This is how I discovered superfoods and herbs that compact ground breaking benefits.
One of the superfoods that has been routinely use in my diet is Chondrus Crispus commonly know as Seamoss.
The heath benifits know to this superfood are Boosting the immune system, preventing Parkinson’s disease, thyroid support & jam packed with Vitamin B2 , Calcium and Iodine.
Additionally, herbal remedies are often more accessible and affordable than non-herbal treatments, making them an attractive option for those seeking alternatives to conventional medicine.
With when I’ve learned I source many herbs & began to make capsules for friends & family initially. I then researched for years to have now started East River Wellness.
I now expanded to over 20 capsules & health gummies & receive orders from all over the country
If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?
If I could go back in time I would definitely be in the same felid as I am . I have worked at a few hospital in New York & it’s the most rewarding job I’ve ever had. This has been a conduit for East River Wellness being that I can now directly help the people in need.
Working in oncology offers numerous benefits, including the opportunity to directly impact the lives of cancer patients and their families. By
making a difference: Working in oncology allows you to make a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer patients. You play a crucial role in their treatment journey, providing support and care.
While working in oncology can be emotionally challenging, it also offers emotional rewards. Building relationships with patients and witnessing their strength and resilience can be incredibly inspiring.
Knowing that your work directly impacts the lives of cancer patients can provide a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose in your career.
On the other hand, being a natural herbal health consultant on the side can complement your work in oncology by offering additional benefits, herbal health consulting allows you to take a holistic approach to health and wellness, considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of healing.
The duality of working in oncology feels like I’m living in my purpose and being a natural herbal health consultant through East River Wellness can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path, allowing you to make a positive impact on the lives of others while pursuing your passion for holistic health.
