KICKING SICK author Amy Kurtz on her journey to health
This is a book every chronic illness patient should own. What I love in particular are the additions of expert advice in every spoke of her wellness wheel. Join our discussion in the latest episode of the LYME TIME PODCAST.. I think every Lyme warrior will be able to relate and receive practical advice, support, and reference points no matter the stage of healing.
Facing debilitating pain and health issues since her teenage years, patient advocate and author Amy Kurtz well knows the frustration, fear and isolation that comes with chronic illness. She wrote the bestselling book Kicking Sick as a reader guide to managing debilitating conditions and living fully. Lifelong chronic health conditions – from Celiac Disease to major parasite infections to a thyroid condition led Amy on an intense journey through 37 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/spirit. She became an active participant in her own health and got more involved, educated and invested in the healing process. She supports her clients in finding the right system so they can focus on healing instead of being mired in managing their care. Prior to starting her private practice, Amy built the health coaching program at The Morrison Center, a top integrative practice in NYC as a means of better supporting the patient by providing individualized guidance regarding their health condition and treatment plan and continues a private coaching practice.
Kicking Sick gives the reader Amy’s action plan that we talk about in depth during this episode. We have a frank discussion on surrender, friends who disappear, painful moments, necessary lessons, feeling like a burden, and how thoughts affect the body.
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. Order it HERE. Book a free consultation with Amy HERE.

In good health,
