Dr. Amy Shah is a double board-certified MD with training from Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard. She was named one of MindBodyGreen’s Top 100 women in wellness to watch in 2015, and she’s been proving them right in the five years since! Dr. Shah focuses on gut health, inflammation, and intermittent fasting, and today she’s going to share how we can address each one of those categories.

Intermittent fasting for women, in particular, is an issue I know people have a lot of questions about, so I am ecstatic to be able to share this episode and clear up some of the misinformation out there.
