How Shah Merged Nutrition With Medicine
- Dr. Amy Shah shifted from nutrition undergrad to medicine because nutrition careers were limited.
- She began writing free health blogs to serve people and build her nutrition-in-medicine approach.
Simple Daily Nutrition Formula
- Use the 3033 rule: 30g protein at your first meal, 30g fiber across the day, and three probiotic foods daily.
- This supports muscle, satiety, and gut bacteria to reduce cravings and sustain energy.
Circadian Fasting For Women
- Aim for a 12–15 hour overnight (circadian) fast by eating earlier dinners and delaying breakfast.
- Pair a protein-rich first meal (eggs, yogurt, protein shake) to curb cravings and stabilize energy.
