Amanda Zeine, DO, FAAP always dreamed of being a doctor. She studied premed, graduated college, was commissioned into US and given educational delay to attend med school. She did her residency in Pediatrics at Tripler in Hawaii. Graduating from medical school in 2007, she had her dream career.
Upon graduation from residency, Amanda moved to Ft. Campbell and quickly deployed as flight surgeon with aviation unit. She was then moved to the hospital to actually practice as pediatrician for 4 years. Following another deployment she was able to work her way up to Chief of Pediatrics at the Community Hospital on base at Ft. Campbell. At this point she was a Major in the Army.
That all changed with a traumatic brain injury in 2018 leading to memory loss, loss of identity, and having to medically retire from the US Army. Amanda was moved into the Warrior Transition Battalion to allow healing and continued treatment by the TBI clinic.
After her injury, she had severe complications causing a loss of identity, worsening depression, and weight gain. It's one thing to recover from an injury. It's another thing altogether when that injury includes brain damage. Amanda went from a thriving leader and physician to a hot mess on her couch in the dark having migraines daily and significant balance issues. About a year and a half later she was improved greatly, but still unable to function in her previous profession. She'd had enough of depression with resulting obesity.
Amanda now has a new vision of herself and has begun the journey from Hot mess to Wellness, including becoming a published author and now a speaker as well.
A little about Amanda's book, also titled: Hot Mess to Wellness: 7 Steps To Wellness When You've Tried It All and Had Enough
Hot Mess to Wellness asks: "Are you unhappy with your weight, body, or health issues? Have you tried and failed multiple “diets” that promise a gorgeous body or spent a fortune trying to have that body the media portrays as perfect?"
Hot Mess to Wellness is not a diet or exercise book. Nor is it a quick fix or easy way to get skinny. This book is written for the average person who feels “fat” and sluggish, who can’t seem to lose weight or increase energy despite trying again and again, and needs some advice and motivation or that push to take the first step.
Author and physician, Amanda Zeine, takes you along on her journey to wellness after a traumatic injury.
