Work with me
Organizations
Nutrition Science
I provide advisory services for organizations in the nutrition space that are bringing unique, nutraceutical formulations to the market. My services include scientific research, writing, product formulation, and client education. While I no longer practice law, as a Yale-educated lawyer I am familiar with the FDA regulatory framework for dietary supplements, and uniquely placed to serve clients in the industry.
Areas of Research
MY CURRENT AREAS OF RESEARCH INTEREST INCLUDE NUTRITION FOR MODULATING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND INCREASING HEALTHSPAN, NUTRITIONAL GENOMICS, THE MICROBIOME, AND CIRCADIAN BIOLOGY.
More specifically
The role that polyamines play in health and disease (especially autoimmune conditions)
Spermidine and other nutrients that target the hallmarks of aging
Single nucleotide polymorphisms that impact immune system response and energy metabolism (especially MCAD deficiency)
Unique microbiome patterns and related interventions for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions
The use of light and food timing (time-restricted eating) to impact circadian biology and improve health outcomes
Let’s Work Together
Research & writing
I provide advisory, research, and writing services for organizations and health influencers in the field of nutrition, health, and wellness.

The New Science of Longevity
A Health Focused Approach
I have done extensive research on spermidine, a polyamine that has been shown to induce autophagy, and target at least 6 of the Hallmarks of Aging
DNA damage
Eroded telomeres ✓
Epigenetic changes ✓
Imparied proteostasis ✓
Mitochondrial dysfunction ✓
Altered nutrient sensing
Stem cell dysfunction ✓
Cellular senescence
Impaired intercellular communication ✓
We are starting to understand how aging begins at the cellular level.
There is currently a paradigm shift taking place in aging research, and the future is moving toward early prevention through nutritional and lifestyle interventions. One key to healthy aging is to identify and replace nutrient deficiencies and increase systemic support through compounds that impact the hallmarks of aging. Personalized, evidenced based nutrition can be used to create vibrant health at any age.
Amy Lamotte is one of those rare individuals who can translate turgid scientific articles into accessible and actionable steps that everyone can take part of in their daily lives. She has a gift and passion for educating and inspiring her readers with the latest in nutrigenomics, gut biome, and epigenetic discoveries. Her white papers are works of art because she highlights the most important studies in a quickly digestible format. Finally, she’s great fun.
