About Our Founder
Dr. Amy Myers is a medical doctor, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and internationally acclaimed functional medicine physician who empowers people with autoimmune, thyroid, gut, and toxic mold issues to get to the root cause, reverse their conditions, and take back their health.
Dr. Myers discovered her passion for helping others in her early 20s while serving as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, an experience that inspired her to pursue medicine. She earned her medical degree at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. While in medical school, she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. Conventional medicine offered her no answers about the root cause, and she ultimately lost her thyroid. That experience led her to functional medicine and became her life’s mission: Conventional Medicine Failed Me and It Is My Mission to Not Have It Fail You Too℠.
After completing her residency in emergency medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Dr. Myers worked as an emergency physician at Dell Children’s Medical Center and University Medical Center Brackenridge. In 2010, she opened her own functional medicine clinic, Austin UltraHealth, where she developed The Myers Way®, a proven approach that treats the whole person by finding and addressing the root cause of illness rather than just the symptoms.
In 2017, she founded AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD®, now a trusted resource for people seeking real answers about their health. Her programs and more than 75 physician-formulated supplements are trusted by customers around the world, and AMMD™ by Amy Myers MD® was named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing companies five years in a row. Dr. Myers is a two-time EY Entrepreneur of the Year Finalist and received a Bronze Stevie® Award for Female Thought Leader of the Year in the 2024 Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
Dr. Myers is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Autoimmune Solution™: Prevent and Reverse the Full Spectrum of Inflammatory Symptoms and Diseases (2015) and The Thyroid Connection™: Why You Feel Tired, Brain-Fogged, and Overweight—and How to Get Your Life Back (2017), as well as the Amazon #1 bestselling The Autoimmune Solution Cookbook (2018). A revised and expanded edition of The Autoimmune Solution™ is coming in early 2027. She is also the host of the Take Back Your Health® podcast.
Through her books, website, podcast, and programs, Dr. Myers has helped millions of people in more than 140 countries reverse their chronic health conditions and take back their health. A trusted authority on autoimmune, gut, and thyroid health, she produced and starred in her own PBS special, 28 Day Metabolism Makeover, appeared on The Dr. Oz Show seven times, and was one of the first speakers at In goop Health. She has also been featured on TODAY and Fox News and in Forbes, The New York Post, Women’s Health, HuffPost, Glamour, Women’s World, and goop. Today, she focuses on educating and supporting her global audience through her books, podcast, Dr. Myers’ Inner Circle membership community, and private consultations. She is a mom to Elle and splits her time between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas.
