AMMD: The Personal Journey Behind Amy Myers, MD

Some brands begin with a product idea. AMMD begins with a longer story: a young volunteer drawn to helping others, a medical student facing an unexpected diagnosis, and a physician determined to spend more time exploring the questions her patients brought to her.

Amy Myers, MD, connects those experiences through her writing, educational work, and physician-formulated supplement brand. Understanding that journey gives context to the name on the packaging.

A Calling That Began With Service

In her early twenties, Dr. Myers served as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer. She describes that experience as the beginning of her passion for helping others and an inspiration for pursuing medicine.

She went on to earn her medical degree at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. During medical school, her life changed in a way she had not anticipated: she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition.

In her account, reaching that diagnosis was a frustrating process. She felt her concerns had been dismissed, and the experience left her wanting a deeper conversation about why she had become ill.

Becoming Both Physician And Patient

Dr. Myers has spoken openly about undergoing radioactive iodine ablation of her thyroid, a decision she describes with regret. That is her personal medical history, and it became a defining influence on the direction of her career.

She completed her Doctor of Medicine degree and an emergency medicine residency at the University of Maryland Medical Center. From 2008 to 2010, she worked in Austin as an emergency physician at Dell Children’s Medical Center and University Medical Center Brackenridge.

Those years gave her experience in acute care. At the same time, her own questions about long-term health continued to shape what she wanted her future work to look like.

A New Chapter In Austin

In 2010, Dr. Myers opened Austin UltraHealth, her functional medicine clinic. She describes becoming certified in functional medicine in 2012 and developing the approach she calls The Myers Way.

Her focus shifted toward considering the whole person: their history, nutrition, everyday habits, and the questions behind their symptoms. It is the perspective that has guided her public work on autoimmune, thyroid, and digestive-health topics.

That philosophy helps explain the brand’s educational emphasis. It does not mean a supplement can diagnose an underlying problem or replace treatment, but it does show why learning and asking questions are central to the story.

From Clinical Work To AMMD

Dr. Myers founded AMMD by Amy Myers MD in 2017. The brand extended her work beyond the clinic through educational programs and a growing range of physician-formulated supplements.

The company’s account describes a wider portfolio of more than seventy-five formulas and an audience spanning more than 140 countries. Those figures refer to the broader business and educational reach, not a claim that every formula is available in this store.

Her founder story also describes AMMD appearing on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years, two EY Entrepreneur of the Year finalist recognitions, and a Bronze Stevie Award for Female Thought Leader of the Year in the 2024 Stevie Awards for Women in Business.

The Books Behind The Conversation

Dr. Myers is the author of two New York Times bestsellers: The Autoimmune Solution, published in 2015, and The Thyroid Connection, published in 2017.

Her The Autoimmune Solution Cookbook followed in 2018 and became an Amazon number-one bestseller. Together, the books brought her perspective on food, lifestyle, and health to readers beyond her clinical practice.

The supplied founder update also describes a revised and expanded edition of The Autoimmune Solution planned for early 2027. It is part of a continuing body of work, not the endpoint of the story.

Take Back Your Health

The Take Back Your Health podcast continues that educational thread through interviews with functional medicine experts and conversations about holistic approaches to wellbeing.

For listeners, it offers another format for exploring ideas: a conversation rather than a chapter, with time to hear different perspectives and questions.

The podcast sits alongside her books, website, programs, Inner Circle membership community, and private consultations as part of her wider work. Those services are separate from purchasing AMMD products here.

A Voice Beyond The Clinic

Dr. Myers has also brought her perspective to television and public events. Her biography includes the PBS special 28 Day Metabolism Makeover, seven appearances on The Dr. Oz Show, and an early speaking appearance at In goop Health.

It also lists appearances or coverage across TODAY, Fox News, Forbes, The New York Post, Women’s Health, HuffPost, Glamour, Women’s World, and goop.

Beyond that public work, she is a mother to Elle and divides her time between Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas, a personal detail that brings the story back to life outside the brand.

Flavor With A Personal Connection

The flavor stories bring a warmer side to the collection. Dr. Myers describes Vanilla Bean Paleo Protein as inspired by childhood evenings enjoying vanilla ice cream with her father.

Double Chocolate recalls her aunt’s brownie pie in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Those memories became flavor starting points for a different format: a grass-fed beef-derived protein powder.

The animal source is worth noting when choosing. A dairy-free description does not mean plant-based, and the protein and collagen products should be compared by their own ingredient lists.

Similar Names, Different Formulas

The collection contains several products that reward a closer look. Rest and Restore lists PharmaGABA, L-theanine, magnesium, and glycine, while Rest and Restore with Melatonin is a distinct option.

Probiotic Capsules 30 Billion and Probiotic Capsules 100 Billion are separate products, not interchangeable labels. Likewise, a fiber powder, digestive enzyme blend, and probiotic each have different ingredients and directions.

These distinctions make the product pages useful. Choose around your needs and professional guidance rather than building a routine from product names alone.

Why We Carry AMMD

We appreciate the clear connection between a founder’s history, her educational work, and the range she has developed. AMMD gives shoppers a substantial collection to explore, with formats that invite thoughtful comparison.

The most useful starting point is a specific question, not a shopping list of everything at once. Read the current label and discuss suitability with a healthcare professional, especially if you manage a condition, take medication, are pregnant, or are nursing.

Dr. Myers’ story gives the brand its perspective. Your own circumstances should guide the choices you make from it.
