The Better Question: Can We Trust the Research?
Former NASA engineer Amanda Smith joins Dr. Erika Schultz to explore how science, intuition, and nervous system awareness come together in healing. From health archetypes to gut dysfunction and medical intuition, this episode challenges one-size-fits-all medicine.

About the Guest:
Amanda Smith is a former NASA aerospace engineer and Division I athlete who transitioned into health and wellness coaching after experiencing significant personal health challenges, including severe allergies and gut dysfunction that led her into a deep exploration of integrative and holistic healing. Drawing from her engineering background, she applies systems thinking to the human body, combining scientific analysis with somatic awareness and intuitive interpretation to understand complex patterns of health and disease. Her work bridges science, nervous system regulation, and what she describes as medical intuition, allowing her to identify emotional, energetic, and physiological imbalances that may contribute to dysfunction. She is also the creator of the “Gutsy Chick Quiz,” which categorizes health consumers into archetypes—Bruiser, Brainster, Chillster, and Stickler—to better understand how individuals engage with healthcare systems and make decisions about their healing. Through her coaching, Amanda emphasizes personalized, root-cause approaches that integrate lifestyle, timing, emotional health, and body awareness, while encouraging a shift away from one-size-fits-all medical or wellness models toward more individualized and sustainable paths to healing.
