Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! In today’s episode, I’m excited to be joined by Amanda Chay, who speaks to me about her extensive journey with lupus, from a complicated diagnosis spanning two decades to managing the chronic condition.

Amanda discusses her initial misdiagnoses, the complexity of lupus symptoms, and the eventual diagnosis that linked her experiences to lupus, a condition affecting 1.5 million Americans, predominantly women.

Amanda Chay is an author, entrepreneur, and lifelong health nut who has helped countless businesses and individuals put their health first. With a master's degree in counseling and as the owner of a stress reduction and mindfulness training company, Amanda brings a wealth of expertise to her work.

She is a member of the University of North Carolina Lupus Stakeholder Advisory Board and is a Lupus Foundation of American external affairs committee member for NC. When she’s not planning her next travel adventure with her daughters and husband, she’s drinking jasmine tea, teaching yoga, and giving book suggestions to anyone willing to listen.
