In this episode of How Humans Heal, Dr. Doni spoke with Dr. Amy Tung! She is a Naturopathic Doctor, writer and speaker, and for over 15 years she has been helping patients achieve optimal health and wellness through hormonal balance. Dr. Tung has a special interest and passion in hormone health, and works daily with women who experience hormonal concerns, in particular postpartum depression. Dr. Tung is certified in both intravenous (IV) injection therapy and bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
Dr. Tung is on the board of the Endocrinology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (EndoANP). The EndoANP supports Naturopathic Doctors in North America who have a special interest in hormone health. She received the Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Endocrinology designation. This expertise was further developed during six years of practice with Dr. Natasha Turner, ND (author of ‘The Hormone Diet’) at the Clear Medicine clinic in Toronto.
Dr. Tung is a wife and busy mom of three young children who is constantly looking to find balance and harmony in all areas of life. When not with patients, you can find her doing yoga, making healthy recipes or playing outdoors with my family.
