Amy Kurtz Bio

Amy Kurtz is a trailblazing author, certified health coach, patient advocate and speaker dedicated to empowering patients to reclaim agency over their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. A distinct voice in the health space, Amy’s work has been heralded by Dr Mark Hyman, Kris Carr, and many more. Lena Dunham named Kicking Sick one of her “Top 10 desert island books of all time” in New York Magazine. Amy has been featured on Oprah Daily, Good Morning America, The Boston Globe, NYMAG, Fox, and more. In her debut book, “Kicking Sick: Your GO-TO GUIDE for thriving with chronic health conditions,” Amy shares her journey of living with chronic health conditions and provides a roadmap and actionable guidance to help readers manage debilitating conditions and live fully.

Due out from Hachette in June 2026, Amy’s second book, “But You Look Fine, Trapped in the Hell between Sick and Well and How to Break Free,” breaks the silence about the crucial, painful, pervasive, and yet all too common phase of healing from chronic illness that has long gone overlooked…until now.
