Hey, it's Marielle.

Amy Shaw is a double board certified MD and a nutrition expert.
An author of the book, I'm So Effing Tired,
a proven plan to beat burnout, boost your energy, and reclaim your life.
As the title of the book suggests, Amy herself used to live in a near constant state of exhaustion.
She was a young doctor with a busy private practice and two kids at home.
When she noticed shifts in her mood and her body,
like weight gain, irritability, and trouble sleeping.
But she couldn't pin down a specific cause for all of it.
And when she turned to her doctor friends for advice,
everybody just said, you know, oh, of course you're tired.
You're a mom with young kids.
