​About Dr. Shah
Integrative & Functional Medicine Dallas

Dr. Amy Shah was born and raised as a first-generation Indian in the United States, surrounded by a rich blend of traditional home remedies, Ayurvedic wisdom, and modern medicine. From an early age, she developed a deep curiosity about how health and disease unfold — and a passion for helping people not just treat illness, but feel truly well.

​

She began her medical training at Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she was trained conventional allopathic medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) — giving her a strong foundation in whole-body care. During medical school, she served on the board of the holistic medicine club, helping educate fellow students about the value of integrative approaches.

​

Dr. Shah completed her Internal Medicine residency at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center, training in one of the country’s most diverse urban healthcare environments. There, she cared for patients with a wide range of conditions — from rare to routine — and saw firsthand how health disparities and late-stage disease impacted patient outcomes. These experiences shaped her understanding of the importance of addressing both symptoms and root causes.

​

After residency, Dr. Shah became Board-certified in Internal Medicine through both the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM), and started work as an Internal Medicine Hospitalist, where she witnessed the downstream effects of untreated or mismanaged disease — often seeing patients on long medication lists who still weren’t feeling their best. This reinforced her belief that there had to be a better, more proactive way to support health.

​

Driven by that vision, she pursued advanced training and is now:

• Fellowship-trained through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine (University of Arizona)

• Board-certified in Integrative Medicine (American Board of Physician Specialties)

• Certified in Functional Medicine (IFMCP) through the Institute for Functional Medicine
   

Today, Dr. Shah offers a whole-person, physiology-first approach to care — combining the best of conventional medicine with integrative and functional therapies. She works with patients to optimize metabolism, hormones, inflammation, and healthspan — with a special focus on helping people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s take proactive steps to prevent disease, build resilience, and age well.

​

Her philosophy is simple: treat the whole person, understand the “why” beneath symptoms, and empower patients to thrive — now and for decades to come.
