Excited to welcome on my guest today to discuss how we can best navigate the symptoms and changes that happen in perimenopause. My guest breaks down the simple ways we can make subtle adjustments so that we can feel our very best again.
Welcome on the show Dr. Amy Shah. She is an MD and nutrition specialist. She works in clinical medicine, allergy/immunology, and over the last 10 years has developed a world-renowned wellness education platform, successfully launched a growing collection of health and wellness products, written bestselling books, including I’m So Effing Hungry and I’m So Effing Tired, and has made numerous national network appearances. She works to discover less invasive interventions, promote wellness, and teach others how to impact their health via nutrition and exercise — using medication as a last resort. Her goal is to empower people to “save themselves” through nutrition and lifestyle changes. She created amymdwellness.com — where she offers her speaking services, consultations, and products like the wildly popular Sugar-Free Chai Latte.
