Chronic Illness Warrior, Health Coach and Author, Amy Kurtz Talks “Kicking Sick” and Patient Advocacy

Amy Kurtz is the author of the trailblazing book Kicking Sick: Your GO TO GUIDE for Thriving with Chronic Health Conditions, a health and wellness coach, patient advocate, and speaker. She has been a recurrent guest on Good Morning America. Endorsed by Dr. Mark Hyman and Kris Carr, Kicking Sick was listed as Lena Dunham's "top ten desert island picks of all time” in New York Magazine.

Amy’s lifelong Chronic Health Conditions – from Celiac Disease to major parasite infections to a thyroid condition– led her on an intense journey through doctors’ offices, medical clinics, IV labs, specialist offices and assorted spiritual communities. Through these experiences – the trials and the errors, Amy learned the importance of identifying her individual needs and putting a team together to support the whole of her body/mind and spirit. Now, she supports her clients in finding the right system so they can focus on healing instead of having to always focus on care management. We hope you enjoy today’s episode!
