Dr. Amy Bruner is a board-certified OB/Gyn and functional medicine physician who works with women in perimenopause and beyond – the ones who’ve been told everything looks normal but know something has shifted.
After years in traditional women’s health, she saw the same pattern again and again: intelligent, high-functioning women describing fatigue, brain fog, weight that wouldn’t budge, broken sleep, and a nagging sense of not feeling like themselves – and being handed a prescription, or nothing at all. Their labs were “within range.” Their experience said otherwise.
Her work sits in that gap. Through a concierge, relationship-based practice, Dr. Bruner uses comprehensive lab testing and a root-cause approach to hormones, metabolism, and longevity to explain why a woman feels the way she does – and what to actually do about it. She’s known for translating complicated data into plain, usable language without ever talking down to the women in front of her.
On podcasts and stage, she brings warmth, clinical depth, and a message midlife women rarely hear: your symptoms are real, “normal” isn’t the same as optimal, and there is a path back to feeling like yourself.
