Hi! I am Dr. Sam Merz
I am passionate about helping people who are running on empty get real answers and real relief. As a naturopathic doctor, I focus on hormones, nervous system health, burnout, and gut health, and the many symptoms that come with them, including fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog. I offer virtual care, so you can work with me from wherever you are.
Before founding Abloom Medicine, I spent years in primary care dealing with insurance and all the restrictions that come with it. Over time, I saw how often patients were not getting the time and care they truly deserved. Conventional care has an important place, and I use it when it's needed, but for many people it isn't enough. That's why I built a practice where there's time to listen and to look at the whole picture of who you are.
I believe your symptoms are real, and that they have causes we can find. Healing takes time but with simple daily practices, good nutrition, targeted testing, and the right support, we can do it together. My care is personalized, evidence-informed, and designed around your actual life.
I'm also a wife and a mom to two little boys, and an overstimulated overachiever who knows what it's like to run a business, a home, and a family all at once. I understand burnout, fatigue, and unpredictable hormones, personally and professionally, and I know what it takes to start feeling like yourself again. Let me help you get there.
After receiving my doctorate degree from the National University of Natural Medicine, I began my career in primary care, with focus in hormones and mental health. Driven to offer patients more than conventional care alone, I persued advanced trainings and conference education in integrative ketamine therapy, which remains an important part of my practice today.
As my practice grew, referrals from patients I had already helped increased centering on hormone balance and burnout recovery. In response, I completed training and certification through Evexipel to offer hormone pellet therapy to both women and men, expanding the options available to my patients. I've spent thousands of hours learning hormones and how the body responds to stress, and I've seen that pattern in thousands of patients visits. That experience is what I bring to your care.
Today, while still focusing on private practice with one-on-one care, I also deliver corporate talks and workshops that help high achieving teams and leaders treat burnout and, just as importantly, prevent it.
