PP #30 Dr. Amy Shah

Dr. Amy Shah is a nutrition specialist. She works in clinical medicine, allergy/immunology, and over the last 10 years has developed a world-renowned wellness education platform. She’s written bestselling books, including I’m So Effing Hungry and I’m So Effing Tired, and has made numerous national network appearances. She works to discover less invasive interventions, promote wellness, and teach others how to impact their health via nutrition and exercise — using medication as a last resort. All of this is very on brand with the national discussion of highly processed foods, the obesity epidemic and our understanding of how to take care of our bodies. Many people find any discussion of nutrition lacking at their annual physical. There is a gap in knowledge and Dr. Shah is one of the people trying to fill that gap.

PP#25 Tim Tigner - Author

Tim Tigner is an author whose background is as fascinating as his novels. Tigner began his career in Soviet Counterintelligence with the US Army Special Forces. That was back in the Cold War days when, "We learned Russian so you didn't have to". He later led prominent multinational medical companies, worked with cosmonauts on the MIR Space Station, chaired the Association of International Pharmaceutical Manufacturers, and helped write Russia's first law on healthcare. All of that rich experience makes it into his throughly enjoyable novels full of intrigue, a touch of sci fi and skilled asassins. We had a fun conversation about writing, spying, and how he's spending his mornings these days.
