Amy Kinzie is a Functional Nutrition and Health Educator. She works alongside Dr. Scherzer to support individuals and families in navigating overall health optimization, as well as complex, chronic health challenges.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a B.S. in Biomedical Science with an emphasis in Clinical Nutrition from the National University of Health Sciences. Amy has served as a natural health practitioner and educator in multiple integrative clinics throughout the Chicagoland area.

She has furthered her education through mentorship with Jim Marlowe, head of the nutrition team at the Mercola Clinic, where she studied functional nutrition and metabolic typing.

• Autoimmune diseases

• Inflammation

• Chronic fatigue

• Mood/focus issues

• Food sensitivities

• Mold illness

• Migraines

• Hormonal imbalances

• Allergies

• Cancer

• Lyme disease

• Digestive dysfunction

Amy’s Personal Healing Journey

“At age 19, I became very ill with a rare autoimmune disease that shut down my digestive system. I developed asthma, migraines, muscle wasting, and lost the ability to eat solid food. I quickly realized that conventional medicine had very little to offer when it came to true healing.”

Her health began to improve after working with a nutritionist who introduced her to the healing benefits of ancestral foods, and a chiropractor who utilized homeopathy. These experiences sparked her return to school and ultimately led her to train with the same doctors who helped her reclaim her health.

How Amy Supports Clients

Amy is passionate about forming collaborative and empowering partnerships with her clients. She specializes in:

• Lifestyle education

• Detoxification and environmental health

• Metabolic typing

• Ancestral nutrition

• Stress resilience and nervous system support

• Detailed shopping lists, menu planning

• Gut Health Coaching

She works closely with Dr. Scherzer to develop individualized approaches focused on cultivating the highest possible level of health for each person.

“The root of most chronic illness, mood disorders, and weight challenges is simple: too many toxins — whether viral, bacterial, environmental, or emotional — and not enough of the right nutrients. The body is always striving toward health. My job is to help clients unlock their innate ability to heal.”
