Welcome to the Practice of Dr. Amy Berlyn
Let’s be honest: the path to wellness can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Wouldn’t it be great if it felt empowering, positive, and even enjoyable?
I’m here to help transform your health journey with a healthy dose of science, a holistic perspective, and a splash of humour.
I am a Medical Doctor and qualified Dietitian with a simple, yet powerful philosophy: achieving your best health should be an empowering and positive journey, not a punitive one. And yes, we’re allowed to laugh along the way.
My career has been driven by a deep desire to make a substantial, positive difference in the lives of others. This quest has taken me from the data-filled world of clinical research to the front lines of hospital medicine, and has now beautifully converged in a holistic general practice. Here, I combine the science of medicine with the art of root cause analysis to understand the ‘why’ behind your health.
My approach is uniquely informed by a dual expertise. As a Dietitian (since 2006) and a Doctor (graduating Cum Laude from UFS in 2014), I bridge the crucial gap between nutrition and medicine. I utilise advanced tools like gene testing with DNAlysis to provide personalised supplementation and lifestyle advice that is as unique as you are.
But health is multifaceted. I firmly believe that when you look good, you feel a profound sense of confidence that elevates your entire life. This passion led me to become an avid learner of Aesthetic Medicine, holding a Diploma in Aesthetic Medicine from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine and recently completing a Professional Diploma in Dermatology through the Royal College of the Physicians of Ireland (IHEED).
Your skin is part of the canvas you show the world, and I am dedicated to helping you feel radiant in it.
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me embracing life’s beautiful chaos. I’m likely being kept young at heart by my boy Eli-Cruz, born in 2020, and our two utterly energetic Springer Spaniels—our favourite activity is conducting extensive “mud-based research.”
To counterbalance the mud, I’ve channelled my love for a challenge and outdoors into keeping fit. I’ve completed numerous Half IronMan triathlons and managed to finish a Full Ironman Triathlon during my final year of medical studies (a decision my past self might question, but my present self celebrates!). Fitness is still integral to my life and I hope to inspire you to adopt the same.
Another one of my secret interests is photography. You’ll often find me behind the lens capturing life’s precious moments.
My goal is to be your partner in health, transforming your life with a positive nature, evidence-based medicine, root cause analysis and perhaps a great laugh and coffee.
Let’s embark on this journey to a healthier, more confident, and vibrant you.
Be your “Ultimate You” and let’s get You to thrive.
Mind, body and soul.
