I am a board certified medical doctor turned functional medicine practitioner, and founder of Amy Liu Wellness.

During my time in clinical medicine, I witnessed firsthand how debilitating chronic illnesses can be to overall health and quality of life. Time and again, I saw the conventional medical system minimize seemingly unexplainable symptoms, leaving patients feeling helpless and discouraged, often wondering if their symptoms would ever improve or resolve.

In medical school, the focus was on accurate diagnosis of conditions, so that a corresponding prescription could follow. Rarely was there understanding of why those conditions developed. In clinical practice, my employers often touted "patient centered health care", when in actuality, I was a cog in the wheel of a broken, disease management system, handing out band-aid solutions to patients who believed lifelong prescriptions were their destiny.

Through my study of functional medicine, I discovered an approach that offers genuine hope for true healing. I’m confident that by digging deeper—often by correcting imbalances at the cellular level—and supporting proper nutrition and lifestyle, we CAN reverse symptoms, and even underlying disease.

Your health is your greatest asset. Let's optimize your health now so you can enjoy a fulfilling life spent with those you love most for years to come.
