Amy Shah

Amy Shah is a physician, nutrition expert, and author focused on hormonal health, gut health, cravings, and sustainable wellness. She is best known for I’m So Effing Hungry and I’m So Effing Tired, which translate her medical background into practical guidance on metabolism, intermittent fasting, energy, and women’s health.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor

Amy Shah’s professional path grew out of a personal and family history with food, health, and migration. Born in India and brought to the United States at about five, she later described watching her father, uncles, and grandparents develop type 2 diabetes after the family’s move, an experience that pushed nutrition and medicine to the center of her thinking. She studied nutrition at Cornell University, graduated with honors from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and completed training in internal medicine at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess and in allergy and immunology at Columbia. A later period of severe overwork, compounded by a near-fatal car accident, became a decisive turning point: it shifted her away from a narrowly clinical model and toward lifestyle-based, preventive wellness communication.
