About The Health Institute

The Full Story

Dr. Sam Wilkinson DC (B. Chiro), Co- Founder and ....

Born critically allergic to everything, as an infant, Sam needed three injections every morning just so he could eat.

 

Labeled the allergy kid, this did not stop him. He learnt to live with the cards he dealt and grew up to be a world-traveling athlete and with an incredibly successful career on the international snowsports circuit, as a Grand Prix and Olympic Coach. Using his ‘no stone unturned approach’ Sam trained the youngest athlete in history to qualify for the Olympics in his discipline.

Sam always had professional help to overcome his own health battles and although he had a career that allowed world travel and prestigious events, he had a calling to help people as he was helped as a child.

​

After 30 back-to-back winters of travel, Sam’s obsession with human performance progressed. He returned to New Zealand in 2015 to train as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Functional Medicine Practitioner.

The Health Institute

Sam and Shelley's life passion is helping people with chronic conditions to be free to live great lives. They take Sam's exceptional analytical skills cultivated from a career of professional coaching and Shelley's [super power] and apply these to others, to find needle-moving answers that create real-life results.

 

They're frustration with so many chronic conditions only being managed, rather than [word], was the desire to create the Health Institute. With access to international laboratories, from New Zealand, and an analytical performance mindset, Sam and Shelley use their dedication to serve people in the health investigation process and help them, like many helped them to be free of chronic issues.

Our mission is to restore ‘life’ to those with chronic illness by investigating each person individually and creating targeted interventions.

The Health Institute Ethos

We believe, the biggest problem with the medical industry is lack of evaluation. The investigation is symptom-based - rather than finding the cause - then providing an intervention based on such label. The issue with this is it creates a system that focuses on symptoms, rather than what's actually affecting how your body is functioning.

 

To make a truly targeted intervention, you need to identify the underlying issues that affecting your system, and target interventions to the underlying issues, not the symptoms they may cause. 

​

Our mission is to investigate each client individually and create targeted interventions.
