This is What Happens When You Never Give Up with Samia Gore, Founder of Body Complete Rx

Samia Gore is the founder and CEO of Body Complete Rx, a plant-based health and wellness nutritional supplement brand.


After giving birth to her fourth child, Samia was on a weight loss journey and was looking for natural, organic alternatives to help jumpstart her healthier lifestyle.

After building and self-funding the brand for years, Samia was able to leave her day job and take her $5,000 investment and build a company that has generated over $10 million in sales - all within four years! Samia is the first Black female founder to break significant ground in the nutritional supplement industry.
